Are Fridtjof Posted November 28, 2004 Report Share Posted November 28, 2004 Hey. My English teacher in high school shared my passion in music. He once told me that the riff Radiohead uses in Karma Police originally is from a John Lennon song. Which one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are Fridtjof Posted November 28, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2004 Where the hell is the similarity? Is it really the same riff, only with distortion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cosmosis Posted November 28, 2004 Report Share Posted November 28, 2004 Is being said that Radiohead tries to sound like all sorts of bands including Pink Floyd, which could not be farther than the truth. btw, which riff is he talking about? All I hear is a few arpeggios and chords Why don't you ask your teacher? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edna Posted November 28, 2004 Report Share Posted November 28, 2004 And why don´t you hear "Instant Karma" and make your teacher listen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edna Posted November 28, 2004 Report Share Posted November 28, 2004 ... I say this because some friends were talking this morning about "Instant Karma" and also about Radiohead. I didn´t hear Radiohead but if you don´t find it´s "Cold Turkey" it might be the other one... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

john31846 Posted December 13, 2004 Report Share Posted December 13, 2004 It's the main chord sequence from "Sexy Sadie", from the "White Album". (G-F#-C-D) The "This Is What You Get..." part of "Karma Police" has the same changes. Hope that helps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
