After listening to each ‘One Eyed Bastard’ and Pink’s ‘So What?’ the rocker made his selection between the 2 songs:

“The difficulty is, the Pink one’s higher. I imply, it’s all generic, similar-sounding stuff; it’s in the identical key, which is a bit bloody bizarre. Pink one’s higher, sorry guys.”

“I feel you may argue that the Pink one wasn’t ‘Black Night time’ by Deep Purple. I’d be inclined to say it’s totally different sufficient. The difficulty is that the Inexperienced Day one is identical key and simply not fairly pretty much as good.”

Hawkins then touched on the originality of the music. Claiming that there’s not one unique factor within the music, he defined additional:

“There isn’t an unique thought on this f*cking music [from] starting to finish. There simply isn’t. However does that matter guys? Is there such factor as originality? That is one thing we at all times talk about, the truth is we did an extended type podcast about this. The hunt for originality and what you sacrifice with the intention to truly obtain that. I feel Inexperienced Day have sacrificed nothing and so they’ve achieved nothing unique on this. It’s both Deep Purple or Pink.”

The Ripping Off Accusations

The band’s newest single bears an impossible-not-to-notice resemblance to Pink’s 2008 hit by many individuals. The preliminary guitar riff in ‘One Eyed Bastard’ shares an analogous melody with the synth-driven ‘na-na-na’ introduction of ‘So What,’ and the 2 songs are in the identical key.

Regardless of these comparisons, the Inexperienced Day frontman Billie Joe Armstrong claimed his inspiration for the music got here from a completely totally different supply:

“‘One Eyed Bastard’ began off as only a riff that I had — a shuffle, virtually like a Black Sabbath form of riff. Lyrically, I used to be simply reflecting on dangerous occasions in life. That’s the factor about nostalgia, typically you suppose, ‘That was an terrible time.’”
