The Hives stealing songs.





The sweedish hit band The Hives are being sued by American hit song writer Jason Shapiro.Shapiro has accused the band of taking his riff and vocal line for their song Tick Tick Boom.Shapiro has helped bands such as The Roofies and Celebrity Skin rise to the top of the charts.The riff that The Hives stole was from Shapiros song titled Why You? .Shapiro wasn't just making accusations for the heck of it, he consulted music experts which confirmed his worries.I feel that Shapiro has a right to be mad because his lifes work is comprised of his music and if the band goes and takes the riff then he should sue them.It must be especially painful for Shapiro because the sweedish band made much money off od that song.
