I guess you guys don't know what I mean. I meant the sound of the instruments mostly. Get like it used to be has the drum shuffle, the exact same guitar sound, and piano banging sound Don't Stop. I don't see how Friend and You make loving fun are a like at all in that regard. I get the Carnival Begin/I"m so afraid reference.

YMLF and Friend have almost the exact same keyboard groove. How can you not hear it?
The first time I heard Friend, I was like ....Its just like YMLF. It was nothing I had to try to hear.
We were just referencing songs that are similar or have stolen parts. For example Juliet was taken from Book of Miracles. I think our songs are just as strong as yours.
But I guess you don't know what we mean

I do hear now upon another listen. I guess I always thought it had a cheesier sound so I never noticed. I wasn't referencing stolen parts as much as a feel of the song. But I do see what you are saying.

I hear elements of "I'm So Afraid" in "Come."

"Eyes of the World" starts with a chord progression straight out of "Stephanie" (something I always thought was pretty harsh if deliberate).

Not to mention Pachelbel's Canon...

Yes, but Pachelbel's Canon is not rhythmically the same as those songs; "Eyes of the World" and "Stephanie" not only match in the chords but in the rhythm. The similarity is striking, IMHO.

Agreed...

I put on Pachelbel's Canon in D and sang LB/CM parts to it.

Works like Christine Perfect...

I know exactly what you mean. It's just that Get was written long before Don't Stop. So GLYUTB isn't like Don't Stop. It's the other way around.

Having said that. I think Christine's playing on GLYUTB is incredible.
I listen to what she does after her solo during LB's solo. Wow, her blues feel is the shi*T!!! I've blasted it in my car several times.

PS I think Friend and YMLF are very similar.

Christine plays her shuffle the same on all her shuffle songs: Get Like, Don't Stop, Stop Messing. Onstage, it gives those songs a similar atmosphere. Her piano shuffle is a replication of the style of Sonny Thompson, who cowrote with Freddie King. Chris was listening to King a lot in the old days.
