James is the man. Chicks love him, the boys respect him. Great aussie band with unreal lyrics and guys that can play. Timeless and really reminds me of the good old days.
This was a stunning band.. Simon was a maestro player and James' voice was technically great. Underpinning it was this unique mix of blues and surf.....must say it again - James was amongst the best vocalists I have heard.
James's voice is amazing. Getting mad chills here
Simon Binks. Legendary guitarist. Virtually 'made' every Crawl hit song.
A musical freak.
I love the part where slash comes out for the solo
😂 slash 😂 ik it’s simular even with the words
I found this tonight and I've played it 4x already so u know what I'm doing now share it then play it again, I might even put it on loop.❤😂that solo tho it had my face melting off.
Putting plagiarism allegations aside, this is a fantastic snap shot of a seminal Aussie band in its rawest form.
I may get tarred for this but Australian Crawl were the best band this country has EVER produced, and it's America's loss for not knowing James Reyne on a wider scale.
Brian Cleary Then again, what would you know?
I agree with you.The first album I bought was the "Sons of Beaches" and that is a gem to listen to. They were fantastic to watch live, saw them at Selinas Coogee Sydney NSW $6 in 1986. Mind you, Mr Reyne has produced amazing music after Crawl, especially with Mr Hussey.
Plagiarism???
@@Luxy_livinSweet Child O’ Mine.
Simon Binks ...fantastic player .love this song and this lbum , brings back great memories growing up and surfing ..........good days
The ONLY thing that makes sense is these guys heard Sweet child o'mine, and like the rest if the world they FUCKING LOVED IT so they built a time machine decided to go back 6 yrs before GnR and wrote this "GOOD" song.
+S. Anthony Merendino Great Scott!
S. Anthony Merendino this song is older though
gavin GIGGLES re-read his comment
S. Anthony Merendino LMAO hit it on the head
I slammed my face through a wall thanks to this comment. Expect to be sued.
That lead guitarist ( Simon ?) is one very good player.
DearWatson114 Simon Binks
Simon Binks... a really tasty player
Have seen AC many, many times live.....Mitchell College at Bathurst was a highlight. This version of Unpublished Critics is the total goods. James gets right into it - does not hold back. Aussies respect that......go the CRAWL!
I don't care if GNR borrowed this and and turned it into a huge hit . I am just loving rediscovering Aussie Crawl . I even love the fact that you can't tell what Dave Reyne is saying LOL
Do you mean James Reyne?
See, you can't understand him at all
Absolutely nailed it.James singing his guts out.Simon bunks was very underrated.shame he left the scene.
Unpublished Critics released 1981 - Sweet Child o Mine released 1987. I had never noticed the similarity between the two songs but it's pretty obvious.
Not much 'sueing' went on back then. Anyone over the age of 40 knows how artists were used & chewed up by record companies and Managers to get rich. The most poignant song of this Century about this fact is SpiderBait's "Buy Me a Pony". Another Seminal Aussie Band. Go Kram! You Rock!
Like A Boss b
This came out 6 years b4 scom, to be fair the basic song is the same, if axl in his prime sang the vocals on this track the it would be a no brainer. Scom has defo more than just roots in this song and 'strange' both released on geffen!
That's why Simon denies it. Geffen paid them and made them all sign non disclosures.
@@richardhowle4871 actually i take will take that explanation, Simon seems so nonchalant about it....all those Geffen$ make a difference....
ps: damn even this guitar solo is the basic roots of $lashes
Why Axl Rose looks so different
this was released before sweet child o mine
wooooosh
Crawl was doing this years before GnR
Legendary australian band👍
Sweet Child 'o Mine!
How could Guns 'n' Roses not be inspired by this song? This song addresses so many issues, from having a death wish to being called stupid by a singer that's a jerk because he gets a lot of work; as well as references to British music rags and audio equipment. Come on, Australian Crawl were a musical William Burroughs's of the 1980's! I grew up on Aussie Crawl and still enjoy their back catalog. The idea of Aussie Crawl being ex-upper middle class private schoolboy brats presenting themselves as a New Wave Beach Boys with aspirations of being Australia's surf rock version of The Eagles makes an interesting marketing ploy. Some of their songs were disgusting (Boys Light Up) and others were soul stirring (Reckless).. however, a great piece of 80's Australiana; not always the best live band but suitable for the period.
you are a fuckwit this is a classic
Tow words. THE TUNE.
OnceWasRStrathfield I'm curious that The Boys Light Up is "disgusting". Sure, it may not be a song that EVERYONE would enjoy, but your choice of adjective is strange.
Also, I disagree with your assertion that AC weren't a good live band.
This clip proves otherwise.
Axl's best kept secret
hilsil No, guns n roses secret. Not only Axl. Axl just wrote the lyrics. Slash began a riff (the intro) and Izzy joined him. Then Axl loved that and decided to sang his lyrics
Isaiflamand kwetcalo Australian Crawl released Unpublished Critics seven years BEFORE Sweet Child O' Mine.
@@jamesgray7576 for six years it was unplayed in the US but then one year before Sweet child of mine guns n roses label picked up this band and had it in their collection to use as they saw fit with confidentiality disclosures.
@@juanitastew2495 Is that a fact? We Aussies think GnR just ripped it off.
@@sydneygirl2970 pretty much...same thing
Sweet Child? I'm convinced.
Fuck that. If they thought it was a ripoff they should have done something about it years ago.
The fact is, is you search hard enough you'll find a similar sounding song to every song ever written.
+Onya Patto Aussie Crawl doesn't care. they don't mind about the similarities. (Well, they also said they wouldn't dare take on GnR's lawyers :). It's some of the media / fans that are uptight about it.
Sweet Child O' Mine, part one
Australia's Unofficial Number One band ever
Amazed this issue has taken so long to come to the light of day. Australian Crawl definitely have a case here.
Great song!!!
Simon Binks - Brilliant !
As a male, I'm secure enough in myself to admit James was one attractive, good-looking dude....that voice, those looks, that fame.....jesus, Errol had nothing on him!
yeah...nah
Hearing ya bro, back in the day, chicks hanging off him like flies; good times. #littlebitjealous
Simon's brilliant solo :)
Fuck James’s voice is awesome
Eu amo essa música🌊 🏄🌊💣💥💦💙
1:25 come on! all together now : "oooo oooo sweet child o miiine"
Binksy killing it..................
It's the old CDG chord trick, hundreds of songs based on these three chords. The melody does sound like SCOM, maybe GnR heard this song and copied it or maybe not - we will probably never know.
Greatest OZ CRAWL performance ever!
Forget pretty boy, listen to Binksy ripping it
He's a killer player..
You hit the nail on the head, seems like "Binksy" WAS Aussie Crawl
Both GNR & AC song are very2 Good Song....
Love the guitar solo's part...for Both..definitely Awsome...
great lead guitar
Fantastic. ..
Sure explains why sweet child is slashes most hated gnr song
v4d3rm4n actually he hates play the riff
Nicolas Alves actually that's what he said
This was the shit bro!!! Young surfing at Mainbeach young carefree like anther lifetime away
2021😍😍😍
It's a good song and it does sound like sweet child of mine but there are still a lot of other songs that sound similar to eachother
James's mullet though
yep a massive similarity with GNR. no doubt
This was out first
Nice ... is that the "Reckless" version of Unpublished Critics (-:
🧖 Music.
This is Australia's greatest achievement in the world of rock. Proud Aussie right here fckers
This song came first in fact has a better tempo chord changes, drum patterns progression etc classic early 80s Australian sound so natural and raw.
Good man.
His vocals were always a favorite target for comedians
Yeaaaa Sweet Child O’ Mine!;)
Some similarity’s to sweet child of mine, but this was published first so they probably took from this song like they done with others
Love this guy's voice but I cannot understand a single word he's singing!!! Definitely has a "Sweet Child of Mine" vibe to it! 💖💖
Stacey Steele I couldn't understand a word he sang either, lol
+Stacey Steele It's a VERY VERY common joke in Australia that it is basically impossible to decipher what James Reyne is singing.
Memories of Grandpa Wade
Guys, I THINK this is the same actual recording as the Phalanx live album.
Can we ask where the video performance has been archived all this time?
No it's a different night. I tried putting the audio from CD on this but it's different.
@@AussieTVMusic Interesting; much of the phrasing and many of the quips he makes are very similar though
Geoffery Harrison wash your mouth/ears out
Big payout comin these guys way
if Men at Work can cop it for down under, then the Gunners will cop soon too.
@@immij72 That treatment Men at Work copped was utterly fucking disgusting.
Lol.21k and thats half GnR fans seeking for what they heard about sweet child
Wow can definitely see the similarities. I'd love to see if it they sued Guns and Roses. But there is no way GnR or whoever wrote the song Sweet child o mine can claim they have never heard this song before. Its way way too similar.
Well Axl wrote the song it was originally a poem for his girlfriend then Slash cams up with the intro and I imagine Slash and Izzy with the rest of the melody.
Slash looks different, too!
I swear I've heard this somewhere else 🤣
Epic song. Axl also agrees
For me, there are only simple three basic chords in the same order. D C G.
sweet child o' mine ?
Madame X o yea
+Madame X Kind of disappointed with GNR. Who's in your avatar?
+needagooddoc Hedy Lamarr ~~ inventor of Wifi
Poet in a garett
I can hear a similarity, but not enough to call it plagiarism.
Josh Edillon listen to the studio version, I found it hard to believe at first and I've been a GnR fan since day one
Oh, come on!!! The tune of the verses is IDENTICAL
Nah totally different flavour all together
the people don't know what are plagiarism man
the two songs are extremely good
come on the fucking tuning of one is in standard and the other half step down
the two gonna sound fucking different for more than they are similar in one points
sometimes the fucking chords sequence are different
we have different riffs,bridges,solo,bass line and lyrics
so its not plagiarism
and fuck it if is the thing is about the rock n roll mans
you know one about two songs almost the same?
hear spirit by taurus and compare with stairway to heaven of led zeppelin
if you have an opinion about if i lose the respect about all the bands i mention here because ''they copy this on,oh no they copy this too'' you are wrong i love the music being equal or being different i just wanna rock
@@osdesocupadosdoprata5019 x 100...if people want to hear plagiarism then go listen to the 3 dozen fcking songs Zep flat-out stole....Jimmy "Lucifer-rising" Page was a POS of the highest order......awesome guitarist though
So musicians get inspired by the songs they listen to. Thats not only an ancient practice, but it is just a great way to improve our songs. The genius who brings music from nowhere is a myth.
Sweet Child is a masterpiece, Axl, and specially Slash turned this crude diamond into a billion dollar jewel.
But they weren't inspired by it, though! They just improvised based on Slash's string-skipping exercise! It's all just coincidence!
A música que o guns 'n roses plagiou!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
James looks hot with those tight black jeans.
They are similar songs but the alot of the tune of this and the style are totally different from sweet child of mine. The only REAL similarity is that they share some of the same beat.
Robert Winlaw Listen to the verses. Almost identical.
Listen 01:05 sound same as that sweet child song?
DearWatson114 If that is identical then "Satisfaction" and "Seven Nation Army" are the same song, too
For your info,its actually Guns N Roses whom had copied them. Get the facts right guys!!
4.24 is definitely influential.
In what aspect does in sound the same
No being a smartass, is it the signing patteren?
COMO A MUSICA NAO TAVA ESSAS COISAS PRO AXL ELE PENSOU PERA AI VOU DA UMA MELHORADINHA E FEZ SWEET CHIL O MINE PRONTO FICOU PERFEITA KKKK
Oh, Guns man... :/
it's sad but true. Stupid Axl
All i can say is thst i played this song for a mate of mine who is born and raised in Wisconsin, USA and his response was 'man i like it bro, but fuck it sounds like a guns n roses rip off' could not believe it when i pointed out that this was published 7 years before sweet child...
Sweet child o mine
so many bands have used that same chord progression of D C G.... gnr didn't rip these guys off, sure they have the same chords but if everyone was this picky about songs sounding the same, almost every band post 60s would have been sued
Great point.
Yep, Sweet Home Alabama, Werewolves of London... all D/C/G.
Just some examples of rock music cannibalizing itself; no crime here.
It sounds better than recent guns n roses albums.
oh that song GnR ripped to make SCOM
First of all this song is basically just the same chord progressions as Sweet Child o Mine. And GnR didn't plagiarise it as izzy only came up with sweet child's chords after hearing slash's riff. It's just a coincidence
I don't know. It could be coincidence but the melody is similar. Either way bands borrow from other bands all the time. To be honest they probably heard this song at one point while in Australia, forgot about it and accidentally stole the melody.
Nifonte Wrong!
SCOM came out seven-years AFTER Unpublished Critics.
If one band 'borrowed' elements, it was definitely G N R.
Melody, chord progression...too similar...These guys are not interested in suing though...class.
hdmccart it’s not similar enough for a lawsuit
@@NoirTech83 lol. There have been successful lawsuits 1/2 as similar as this.
This is not a lawsuit because it was agreed upon before Sweet child of mine ever came out when the record label picked up this song/band
Because this band and gnr were signed to Geffen. Duh.
@@richardhowle4871 2 years on...still a dickhead Ricky?
Calling gnr for this is like u say you have maserati because your mustang sounds simular :)
Sweet Child O' Mine *o* *O* *O* *O*
Wow that seems a little too much like Sweet Child to just be coicidence; i'm a big fan of early GN'f'nR but have to admit the singing, chord changes and guitar solo definitely has same basic melody .
canadianboater seems a little too much, I agree!
One of the clearest plagiatry cases ever :)
The 3 chord riff when it starts doesn´t say anything yet, but then the totally similar slide guitar arrangement kicks in...
the lyrics phrasing rhythm is similar enough, but even on top of that the chorus begins with an Aah, instead of the Ooh in the Guns´n´Roses version. Embarrassing.
On that note my preference is the GnR version with better guitarwork,drums&bass, production, lyrics...
trollslandan If anyone in that band REALLY thought SCOM was a ripoff of that song they would have sued GNR 25 years ago...
Man it's D - C - G ... a million Country songs had that chord progression before... So it's the same harmonies but the main melodies could not be more different from each other
Joe Guitar If you check out statistics on how often someone gets a sentence for plagiatry and how often it just ends up with a lot of costs for the pursuer - then you´ll understand why.
Joe Guitar They don't have the cash to stand up against Geffen or Universal Music Publishing Group.
i like sweet child o mine over this
Like el que vino por Guns roses.
No rip off there
Is it wrong that I kinda like this?
michelle stowe Not at all, its a great song from a great band. Check out the songs Boys Light up and Reckless
michelle stowe It's wrong to think for yourself.. so yeah, it's wrong to kinda like this ;-)
Wow that seems a li
Melody, chord progression...too similar...These guys are not interested in suing though...class.
Sweet Child 'o Mine!
They probably got paid out and told not to talk about it. Happens a lot
guns roses recorded that in late 86 ...way before the internet .Far as I can tell , Australian crawl meant nothing in America ....and guns'roses were probably not even aware of the band ....it is a pretty stock progression ....though it seems startlingly the same at odd times ....guns were big fans of the Tatts ...and the Angels ...so who knows ? Maybe that prompted them to investigate other aussie acts ? I have always felt that the opening riff was more a take on "am I ever gonna " ....but more inspired than ripped off ....Who really knows ? Not likely is my verdict though .
Were one Kurt Cobain still alive I'm sure he'd be able to tell you that Aus Crawl actually did mean something in America since they were one of his influences.
cool...but i thought we were talking about the effect of crawl onto guns n roses? ....no matter , its no reflection on how good aussie crawl were - if they were from america they would have outsold most acts .
Do you enjoy contradicting yourself man?
Guns N Roses...meh...ahhh just a bunch of Jerks, who ripped off some great AUSTRALIAN music...Shame, Shame, Shame, but at least we know where the REAL TALENT comes from
shut up kid , you don't know about music.
+Lefthanded 89 do you?
They made a list of Australia's best guitarists a couple of years ago, Simon Binks didn't even get a mention. He's better than Ian Moss in my opinion.
The thing i feel Ian had over Simon was Ian's Phenomenal voice. Both brilliant guitarists for sure!
Guns N' Roses como siempre plagio, Super plagio al gran grupo Australian Crawl.
Absolutely the same song, common guys they both used drums and guitars and someone is singing, too. So basically it's verified that it was copied alltogether!!
Every band were inspired by led zeppelin
doesn't sound anything like sweet child of mine
get your ears checked!!!
Take your ear plugs out GEEE-offff
There are only limited chords and sequences, lost count how many bands have copied, some people need to let go, Australian crawl did, now everyone else should to
Like si estas aquí por el supuesto plagio de gnr
No. Yo estoy aquí porque me gusta Australian Crawl. No clasificaría esto como un plagio, pero no se puede negar para nada que el ritmo es demasiado parecido.
felipe ac dc claro que si es plagio, Slash es consciente de eso por eso dijo que no le gusta tocar el dulce niña mía.
Simon Binks beats Slash hands down.
