Saga of Jesse Jane

[Rock10]

Has Alice admitted this was copied from Ballad of Dwight Fry?

[Si]

Why would he?

[Rock10]

If someone asked him about it.

You mean Jesse Jane? I don't get that association at all.

[While Heaven Wept]

I have absolutely no idea what this means?!

[Rock10]

You're right Jesse Jane.

[Saint&Sinner]

because they both have ballad in the title? I'm confused.......

[While Heaven Wept]

I'm still confused...

[Babysquid]

I know what he means. They both have that strummed acoustic guitar with a similar chord progression in the verse. BODF starts on a major chord rather than a minor though. They’re in different keys too. That’s it, nothing more. If it’s anything it’s a nod to the past rather than a retread.

[Daggers & Contracts]

Ok, break it down musically.
Great! once we get to the point of
it's "The Ballad Of Jesse Jane"
Where do we go from here?
LGBTU+ or take a step in "Lou's" direction.
But, he was already there!
"Take A Walk On The Wild Side"

When I got "Dirty Diamonds" I thought it sounded too similar to BODF.

When I got "Dirty Diamonds" I thought it sounded too similar to BODF.

Never occurred to me there was any similarity at all. Maybe a few standard chord sequences but the end results are completely different.

It is about as similar as Freedom is to Only Women Bleed

No, the strumming in the verses and melodies are similar. "Freedom" is fast metal song and "OWB" is a ballad.
