Also, this isn’t actually anything by the musician.

Actually, this isn’t from Beck, the artist; it’s from an anime named after him It was released in 2004/5 in America.

Nope, in the manga AND in the anime they are named BECK. But their music label found that name lame and sold CDs in america under the name mongolian chop squad. further questions? xD Anime nerd ftw

You guys are completly wrong! This isn’t Jeff Beck or Beck musicians covers – it’s from manga in which, there were otns of those – also one like Nirvana’s cover or Oasis… It was on purpose and you guys just made yourself look funny. Fail.

Harold Sakuishi, the author of Beck, payed some tribute in every chapter of the story. He did the rolling stones, RHCP, Green Day, Blankey Jet City, the pillows, etc.
ie: Yeah, it was supposed to be like that.

the original manga(beck) talks about the band inspirational to its musical syles, even if you look at some of the break pages(pages inbetween each chapters) the artist draws famous album arts with the beck band members instead of the original album art band

tl:dr: it was intentional.

It was also a show that played original music.

It wouldn’t be hard to guess since Beck Mongolian Chop Squad is a fictional band. Though you really shouldn’t judge without hearing. The soundtrack that came out for the anime was an above average soundtrack, particularly considering it’s Japanese bands singing in English, which always tends to get muddled.

Beck was in a futrurama episoed, season 3 episoed 13,” Bending in the wind”. Some interesting stuff in the dvd comentary like the becktionary…made up words to make his lyrics rhyme…funny stuff. Gotta love Beck.

By: katwhacker

katwhacker — Fri, 28 Aug 2009 01:32:30 +0000

Well, yeah, they’re supposed to look alike. I READ Beck, so… They actually said that their covers were supposed to look like the covers of rock artist albums, just with the Beck crew put in. That was completely intentional.

This was done on purpose. BECK is a Japanese graphic novel about a band, and the covers are made to look like famous album covers. They’ve done HELP! as well.

Beck is packed full of North American musical references and homages. Ryusuke’s guitar Lucile is named after B.B. King’s guitar, Taira’s (the Bassist) stage mannerisms and style of play are based off of Flea from RHCP, Chiba is based on Zach de La Rocha and Koyui holds his guitar like Tom Morrello does. The band members all share a dream involving John Lennon, Kurt Cobain, Jimmie Hendrix and Freddy Mercury.

Seriously, can the mods of this site stop accepting cover art and movie posters? The same design firms produce all that stuff and they re-use their own designs all the time as well as stealing from each other. It’s so commonplace that it’s almost more worthy of mention if you see something original.

I know what reminiscent means… and I don’t think they are ;P Too many differences to say they are imo. But I grew up on a steady diet of Beatles vinyl. So yay for good music

No, the concept is to point out *funny* resemblances. Coincidences are funny. Pointing out the obvious/intentional isn’t. Can you imagine a stand-up comedian getting on stage and saying “Hey, you know that Weird Al song ‘Fat’? It TOTALLY sounds like ‘Bad’ by Michael Jackson! What’s up with THAT?!”

By: ZOMGbies

ZOMGbies — Tue, 25 Aug 2009 13:47:28 +0000

All im saying is the whole concept of this site is to point out things that look similar, and if thats not your type of humor, theres other site to look at.

I don’t rent. I prefer to own all of my Anime, and I currently cannot afford to buy Beck: Mongolian Chop Squad. I did want to buy it when it came in those special edition boxes, though, but I didn’t, and probably couldn’t have afforded it then, either.

By: theothervic

Beck was named after the guitarist’s dog, with full knowledge of the already famous musicians Beck and Jeff Beck. When they started selling albums in America, they were renamed Mongolian Chop Squad to avoid confusion… in both the manga and anime. So as stated, it was a manga first, then an anime. The manga has finished, unfortunately, but the start of several chapters had members of the band doing parodies of/paying homage to other bands’ album covers and well-known images. So again, the similarity to Green Day is very intentional.

By: McDoom

McDoom — Tue, 25 Aug 2009 08:49:00 +0000

You don’t find coincidental, random and odd resemblances much funnier? I know I do. When, instead of that, you point out that Dark Helmet TLL Darth Vader, or an Elvis impersonator TLL Elvis, or Barry Trotter and the Shameless Parody TLL a Harry Potter book… the response is not ‘oh, hah, yeah, that’s funny’ but ‘er… yeah. That’s kind of the point of those things’.

::lends Meowth her copy::

Well… no not really. But I’m sure you could get it thru netflix or something ::coughs::mininova::cough:: . It’s a very good anime. And the soundtracks are exceptional as well. They do a cover of a Beatles song that I really enjoyed.
