Been getting into a handful of Free songs in the last couple of years. I still do not own any of their albums, but at some point, I'd like to own all of them. The band had a cool sound and of course Rodgers' vocals are very cool to hear in this band.
When I first discovered Fire and Water, the first thing I thought of is that Nazareth completely stole that riff for Miss Misery
here's a comparison:
Free - Fire and Water
Nazareth - Miss Misery
It's not 100% identical, but the riff itself and the guitar sound / tone is about 95% identical. Enough that you would think that some lawyer somewhere would have thrown down to get this one into court.
Anyway, love both tracks, and I was waaaay more familiar with the Nazareth track, so when I heard Fire and Water, I said to myself "holy crap, I know that from somewhere!"
