Yep, that was Nickelback ripping themselves off, wasn't it?
In checking out that thread, I noticed one guy joked that he
had written a song that sounded like one of his older songs,
and he was planning litigation against himself... I wonder if
he's aware of the John Fogerty suit that involved the CCR
tune "Run Through the Jungle", and the later Fogerty solo
hit "Old Man Down the Road" - when the rights-holders for "Run
Through the Jungle" sued Fogerty over "Old Man...", it was
essentially Fogerty suing himself since he wrote both songs.
I also noticed that a couple of those guys in that thread were
pretty critical of the RHCP's musical abilities... I found that
to be strange, because although I'm not what you'd consider a
fan of their music, I've always thought that Frusciante, Flea,
and the drummer (can't recall his name) are pretty good players.

Chad Smith last time I looked - which has been a while. However, the last
great album of theirs IMO was Blood Sugar Sex Magic.

Fogerty certainly never sued himself. The fellow who sued him is named Saul
Zaentz. It's one of the three or so most sordid tales in all of music
history, just absolutely ugly.
Fogerty would probably have a stroke on the spot if he ever heard someone
say he sued himself. He lived a pretty miserable existence for decades as a
result of the whole thing.

Very true, and very sad. Fogerty was in fact sued for sounding
exactly like John Fogerty which the complaintant claimed was
owned lock, stock and barrel.
