Default Bryan Adams Ripps Off Bonjovi!
Jejeje.. it's not really this.

I've just downloaded the brand new Bryan Adams album, Room service so I took a look at the lyrics in his official web. I'm surprised of the lyrics 'cause
many of them seem very influenced by Bon Jovi lyrics, particulary the ones in These days album. Brian even takes "my guitar lies bleeding in my arms" verse : misery likes company. Take a look... it's very funny.

Sorry for my English

Xavi

As far as I know 'Misery likes company' is a common English frase, it's not something BJ 'invented'

I have Roomservice too, but I haven't listened to it much yet

I don't see any apparent likeness. BJ didn't "Invent" every single phrase they use in their songs.

i think i recall a discussion on the JBJ lyric ''they say no man is an island'' with sum ppl thinking other ppl had ripped this off when it is infact a well known quote.

JBJ - I believe

"Sambora's face is a mask of joyous disbelief, as if previously unaware of his ability to play the instrument at all. Reaching the last fistful of notes, he does a fair impression of a man who is actually ejaculating into his jet black flares."

Oh, come on people! Give him a break! He just thought it was a line written by JBJ, he didn't know it was a common saying!
