They've ripped off everyone. At least when they ripped off Imagine (don't look back..., Get it on (cigs and Alcohol, The solo from Stairway to heaven (Live forever) they did it with swagger, now they do it because they have lost all creativity. Their last video again with the same old Beatles imagery, but this time they decided to rip off the stones cover for Hot rocks at the beginning of the vid as well. I'm glad it didn't go to number one. I think it's their worst first single release from any album.Can they not come up with any original ideas at all? I think all they think about is the money now. They're about as far removed from their Burnage roots at it is possible to get.It's a slick money making machine, that's all. They've become a cliche of themselves, maybe they became a cliche ten years ago.Not in a great rush to buy the new album.They haven't written a bonafide hit that can compete with their first two albums, and they probably never will.
