They might be close to the same chord rotation but definitely not a rip off. They are done totally different. Vocals are different, strum pattern is different, and the songs have two different feels to them.

A true rip off would be Vanilla Ice's Ice Ice Baby and Queen's Under Pressure. Vanilla Ice lost 2 million over that one.

I agree about greenday, but the band JET did it too, if you rember them. Both their big hits sounded sooo much like a certain Iggy Pop song and a certain AC/DC song.
There is a theory which states that if ever anybody discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory which states that this has already happened.
