'Endorphinemachine' = Smoke On The Water' ?

i played the song for a friend in the car (the original version)
& he said he thought the opening guitar riffs sound like a ripoff from Smoke On The Water.

i don't think so,tho it is simillar i dont think P had that intention.

anyway what do u lot think?

I think Prince wrote "Daisy Chain" after overdosing on Bill Withers' "Use Me"...


Not that it answers your question, but still...

in my opinion, the riffs are melodically and rhythmically similar, jeesh. what's the big deal? that's just one musician's opinion, anyway. i don't think prince "ripped anyone off" or anything, i was just commenting that i DO see the similarity, and i've had non-prince fan friends make the same observation.

in my opinion, endorphinmachine kicks the shit outta smoke on the water anyway. endorphin is SUCH a kick-ass song...i remember the first time i heard that was on that VH-1 honors's thing when he played it with interactive - DAMN that was an exciting night!

err,my friend who commented on 'E-Machine' is a bass player & a gr8 guitarist.
also is a DJ & music is one of his passions...
so dont shoot off b4 u know facts.

all i was saying was he just heard a simillarity there in the riffs of the 2 songs.

he didnt mean 'rip off' like he stole a sample or directly played from the 'Smoke...' sheetmusic... he just meant that they sound simillar.

& they do

Smoke On The Water was probably the first riff thar Prince ever played.
If prince.org were to be made idiot proof, someone would just invent a better idiot.
