Bad Religion and Utopia fans: check in here, I have a question.
I was listening to a Utopia concert from 1978 this morning, and I noticed that a big chunk of "Gangrene" is nearly identical to Bad Religion's "Latch Key Kids". Thoughts?

1. And I just heard a Mott the Hoople song that Elvis Costello ripped off

for the beginning of Allison. Rod Stewart was successfully sued for his "Do you think I'm Sexy" Jimmy Page probably off original worldbeaters, Kaleidiscope. Stones stole from everybody. It's just the nature of rock. Steal. Steal. Steal.

Dont know much Bad Religon, though I am a proto punk vet.

I know that one song... "Early man walked away...."

2. Since at the time "Latch Key Kids" was written, Greg Graffin was, like, 16
I really wouldn't be all surprised if BR cribbed some of the melody.
