Eddie did some copying too. Do an image search for the punk band "The Dils".  They were playing in clubs in LA in 77.  You will find a photo of the guitarist jumping in the air while playing a Les Paul with black electrical tape stripes. This predates when Eddie first painted Frankie. The Eddie jump looks familiar also...

I thought early Axl and GNR was a blatant rip off of Michael Monroe and Hanoi Rocks.

They even used a line from a Hanoi Rocks song - welcome to the jungle.

Watch the singer in this video. This is where Axl got his move on stage.

I saw Black Oak Arkansas and James Gang in Louisville at the KY State Fair in '72.  Black Oak opened the show and James Gang couldn't get the audience going after that.  Black Oak Arkansas was a tough act to follow in that era.

Shawn Lane REALLY did not belong in that band.  Granted, he was young, and needed a job, but talk about playing below your level.

Link Posted: 11/20/2020 7:41:18 AM EST

No, he didn’t rip off shit.  That Jim Dandy guy sucks.  There is no way in hell he could pull off Hot for Teacher.  There are similarities, sure, but copied him?  Not even close.  Unless Roth admitted he did, that claim is just sensationalist bullshit from another washed out music media outlet.

Elvis got his moves from a gospel group. exaggerated by 10X or more, but the moves are there in the old videos.   Michael Jackson was never accused of stealing moves
