Orianthi allegedly ripped off “Don’t Back Down” by Mammoth WVH in her “Light it Up” song. One of the fans posted the two songs in Van Halen forum to compare them.
One wrote, “She didn’t even bother to change the key.” Another said, “Automatic lawsuit I would assume.” Again another fan simply wrote, “Ouch”
One fan wrote: “I’m sure WVH won’t mind tho. I’m sure she’s a buddy. Now, if it was a middle-aged YouTube guy wearing a VH shirt….”
Wolfgang Van Halen recently joined Rolling Stone for an interview and addressed the rumor of a singer joining Led Zeppelin.
Wolfgang Van Halen opens up on the matter
A year after the release of his debut, Wolfgang jumped on Zoom to share some thoughts on his next album, the future of his career, his time in Van Halen, the tribute his uncle Alex Van Halen was trying to plan for his late father, Eddie Van Halen, and much more.
Rolling Stone revealed the rumor to Wolfgang, “When Robert Plant wouldn’t tour with Led Zeppelin, they auditioned all kinds of singers, including Steven Tyler. But just because they jammed a couple of times, doesn’t mean anything really came of that.”
“Not at all. And just because one person [former Metallica bassist Jason Newsted] decided to talk about [The Eddie Van Halen tribute show/tour] when they weren’t supposed to, it f***ed everything up.”
