I always thought that this Usura track was a rip off of the Simple Minds original, but happened to hear both tracks earlier on tonight and was reminded, so, here they are. I think it is pretty blatant rip, and I recall both were released in the early nineties..... (AFAIK Simple Minds was first). What do others think? Rip or not?

The Simple Minds song is taken from an album released in 1982. Usura used this song as a sample on their own single.

This song sounds like Elvis' In The Ghetto and See See Rider, mixed with Manfred Mann's version of Mighty Quinn.
But the music isn't the important thing about this song. It's the combined arrogance of the two main persons in the band, reflected in the lyrics.

Mike Tramp's 70s boy band (right vid), took great liberties with Albert Hammond's song, which sounds like a musical patchwork of Dylan material.

This is a classic Krokus example of how they've bit by bit pieced together songs from old AC/DC-material, lyrically as well as musically. It's almost scientific. The reason they outrock their own masters these days is, they pick the Bon Scott stuff*. It's a magnificent puzzle, and it's contained way down there even in the small details. But it works. Best pastiche band ever. Wish it were the other way around. It's damn disillusioning, on top of everything else, that AC/DC are now anachronistic, like a faint hope being snuffed out.
* = Shoot to Thrill (which is the main source) off Back in Black, was intended for Bon.
