PiRanha bites ThE dUsT.

A very popular international rock band, such as "U2" is bound to have a billion fans following them around the world . Still I doubt if all the songs composed by such a popular and a highly successful band would be inviting to listen to them repeatedly. Let me assume, except say the die hard fans, the rest of us would be content with listening to the selective list of songs alone so it is less probable one would remember all their names, lyrics much less the music itself. This become more peculiar when comes to bands like Hoobastank, 3 doors down, and alike.  (I call these bands one song hit bands since these bands are identified by their single hit songs than by its own band names).

why I say this is because, it is easy for a local band to steal a piece of music composed originally by the said bands and still get away without getting noticed due to the reason i have mentioned above.

Lounge-Piranha, I admit I am a big fan of yours. But I never expected you would cross the ethics line of music by ripping off the magical and fabulous riffs played in the song "Exit" by U2. Relatively the whole latter part near the end of your  song "Hand Hole", which went on to make a revolution in thousands of heart including mine and which I would perceive to be one of the best Indian English rock songs I ever listened to, has betrayed me!!. In my opinion, Piranha has a soul, life, talent, energy, creativity and all that takes it to produce a perfect song. The uniqueness I admire in you is your creativity blended with perfection poured into the soul of music but the 2 chords riff, which forms the foundation of the song "Hand hole", is not yours. you have stolen it. Hence, I totally feel you failed me, you failed your fan and ultimately you Piranha failed! I would still listen to you...
