Jason Shapiro is suing the Swedish rockers for allegedly plagiarising his song 'Why You?'.
He told LA Weekly: "I absolutely love The Hives and don't feel great about suing a band I love. But I also feel credit is due where it is due if you borrow a riff."
Shapiro apparently consulted a musicologist on the similarity between the two songs.
"He said the part in question - the main riff and vocal melody - was very similar and its uniqueness led him to believe it wasn't just a coincidence," he claimed.
