I see DB finally got his co-writing credit for Green Day's '21 Guns'.

Green Day should be handing over their ill-begotten cash to ELO for that one...

Mr. Bowie should be getting credits for at least half the stuff on the charts today.

"With that in mind, the bands glam-rock experimenting begins to make more sense, particularly on songs such as 21 Guns. With enough vocal harmonies to conjure images of Queen, it is actually the songs central melody that strikes pure glam gold, recalling the 1972 hit All the Young Dudes (written by David Bowie for Mott the Hoople)."

Punk per se

It has been, of course, splendidly ironic that the work of two of the greatest progenitors of punk, Mr. Pop and Mr. Reed, has Mr. Bowie's fingerprints all over it. Not exactly three chords and the truth, but like the good ol' American hot dog, containing some added ingredients.

Tell me who you are

There must be something wrong with my ears because I can't hear AtYD in there at all.Or ELO.
I can't hear My Way in Life on Mars either.

the way he sings the chorus sounds similar to how the some of the chorus in atyd is sang, but i don't think it's intentional, but this is like the only green day song i've ever liked, so it would explain a lot

not nearly as bad as killers - mr. brightside rip off of queen bitch

"not nearly as bad as killers - mr. brightside rip off of queen bitch"

Which in turn rips off 3 Steps To Heaven by Eddie Cochran.

Does not rip "3 Steps To Heaven" by Eddie Cochran off lyrically.
But, "Mr Brightside" does rip "Queen Bitch" off lyrically.

Bet you didn't think of that, did you, hm
