The Cure / White Stripes - did the WS sample them?

The White Stripes song 'Seven Nation Army' always makes me think of the earlier Cure track 'Subway Song' .

Anyone else, or is it just me and the earworm? Surely someone else must think this!
Here's The Cure

And here's a personal favourite rendition of the WS (I love this guy, look at some of his others!)
Damien Robitaille, if you can't make the link work.

No, it just sounds similar because both songs have a lead riff played on bass guitar.

PrudenceDictates · 22/07/2023 00:23

It's not a bass guitar in Seven Nation Army... WS don't use bass guitar at all!

No. And it's really weird/dubious that you've included a link to some bloke on Twitter to make your point rather than the original ws track.

Interested in this thread?

@Clymene
Apologies for the weird dubiousness of my link - love that phrase - but there's no agenda. A friend sent me the Damien thread and it reminded me of the WS and The Cure. I didn't link the real WS as I didn't have a link!
Nothing weird or dubious intended.

Yungblud sampled The Cures close to me on his song Tissues. With their blessing obviously.
Mindless Self Indulgence used Lovecats
