Forgery tone in heard it through the grapevine.

No he was NOT. He was sued by Saul Zaentz, who was the owner of Fantasy Records, and held the copyright to the Creedence catalog.

" Zantz Can't Dance" ( but he'll steal your money...) - there was even a pig video

Later changed to “Vanz Kant Danz” because of legal issues.

I was never sure of the actual song title- had Centerfield on cassette

Uncle Doug does a great review and the last half he looks inside:

He didn't turn it up so it would get the loud honk that Fogerty got - he's also out of tune - pretty annoying!

Forgery dorgery dock, the tone ran up the clock, the clock struck one, and the tone got off with minor injuries.

And a strong reprimand.

 

[NoTeleBob]

so, the mispelling in the title - "Forgery Tone" ... a Freudian Slip? a clever pun? just a typo?

Fogerty WAS sued by his old band for plagerizing his OWN song (Run through the jungle) when he released "old man down the road" -- he DID win the lawsuit

I believe it was actually the record company (license holder) that sued him for sounding too much like him.

In the courtroom, he actually played both tunes on the guitar to demonstrate how they differed.

Speaking of Fogerty tone. This Ric-tone is awesome too. Out of phase perhaps?:




Edit: Here's a cool story about how Fogarty got back together with is Ric 44 years later: https://www.guitarworld.com/artists/john-fogerty-reunited-his-ccr-rickenbacker-after-44-years

I can't believe it. First Fogerty was accused of plagiarizing his own song, and now he's accused of forging his tone?

I had that K200 amp 2 x 15 back in about 1970. They were offered with a couple types of speakers, one was I think Altecs (?) with the aluminum dust covers which I had. The other speakers they offered did not have aluminum dust caps. Not aware that they came stock with any JBL's, do you think he had them put in?

Also, does anyone remember what the aluminum dome speakers were? I hated that amp, sterile as heck, but they were reliable.
Uncle Doug does a great review and the last half he looks inside:

JBL D140’s were an option on the K250 rig, that’s what mine had.

John Fogerty's brother Tom was the rhythm guitarist. Maybe it's HIS tone that should be dissected?

 

[Grandfunkfan]

BTW, Fogery was a spell check assisted typo. I have nothing but respect for the guy.
