It was overplayed, but the lyrics were great; so poetic and original, right? Wrong. If you compare the lyrics of "Here I Go Again" by Whitesnake with the Green Day Song "Boulevard Of Broken Dreams", notice see any similiarities?
Here I Go Again
I don’t know where I’m going
But I sure know where I’ve been
Hanging on the promises
In songs of yesterday
And I’ve made up my mind
I ain’t wasting no more time
But here I go again
Here I go again
Though I keep searching for an answer
I never seem to find what I’m looking for
Oh lord I pray
You give me strength to carry on
’Cause I know what it means
To walk along the lonely street of dreams
And here I go again on my own
Going down the only road I’ve ever known
Like a drifter I was born to walk alone
And I’ve made up my mind
I ain’t wasting no more time
I’m just another heart in need of rescue
Waiting on love’s sweet charity
And I’m gonna hold on
For the rest of my days
’Cause I know what it means
To walk along the lonely street of dreams
And here I go again on my own
Going down the only road I’ve ever known
Like a drifter I was born to walk alone
And I’ve made up my mind
I ain’t wasting no more time
But here I go again
Here I go again
Here I go again
Here I go
'Cause I know what it means
To walk along the lonely street of dreams
And here I go again on my own
Going down the only road I’ve ever known
Like a drifter I was born to walk alone
’Cause I know what it means
To walk along the lonely street of dreams
And here I go again on my own
Going down the only road I’ve ever known
Like a drifter I was born to walk alone
And I’ve made up my mind
I ain’t wasting no more time
Boulevard Of Broken Dreams
I walk a lonely road
The only one that I have ever known
Don't know where it goes
But it's home to me and I walk alone
I walk this empty street
On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams
Where the city sleeps
and I'm the only one and I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk a-
My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
'Til then I walk alone
I'm walking down the line
That divides me somewhere in my mind
On the border line
Of the edge and where I walk alone
Read between the lines
What's f*cked up and everything's alright
Check my vital signs
To know I'm still alive and I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk a-
My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
'Til then I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk a-
I walk this empty street
On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams
Where the city sleeps
And I'm the only one and I walk a-
My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
'Til then I walk alone
[i probably didn't need to bold everything, but, oh well. I love Green Day so I was kind of upset when I noticed this. Still, they have aload of other good songs- just thought i'd point this out  ] |

Grr...yeah...
Actually, a lot of it sounds like 'Brain Stew' too. Which I didn't like anyway...
So, when they take inspiration from other people it sucks. They shoulda learned that by now...hehe... |

| With the number of sounds around, there are bound to be similarities. Maybe Green Day doesn't listen to Whitesnake- they'd still be original. |

| "Here I Go Again" was a cool song. I can even sing it! But I kept forgetting Greenday's "Boulevard." Not really... memorable. |

Yeah, Boulevard Of Broken dreams gets on my nerves...
I haven't heard "Here I Go Again" before, or even the band/singer Whitesnake before.
Also, who says Whitesnake didn't get his/hers/its inspiration from Green Day?
Just a thought... |

[Warning: I'm listening to Kerplunk right now, so I'm wholly biased ]
I listened to it again the other day...not memorable, definitely, but I kinda...like it. (*gasp*)
Though when they went on Saturday Night Live they killed like every note...sore throats all around? XD |

Whitesnake are an '80's rock band.
They are similar, but i like them both so im not really bothered |
