I'll start by saying "that time of the month" means that it's the time for another wave of idiots who bitch about all the things CoB "stole". And I've seen in an interview his exact words saying that he really doesn't care if he makes up a riff that sounds like someone else's, because it's incredibly easy to do (all musicians do it)... since you obviously don't realize, I'll tell you: all musical ideas come from other music and other sounds... okay? Sorry to break it to you. And if a really cool riff or lick pops into your head outta the blue, and you decide to put it in a song, it's pretty easy not to notice that it's from X album and X artist from 198fucking2 or whenever, esp. if you've heard a million fucking bands. Do you understand now why ppl were giving you shit?
And yes, sorry again, but if you look at the posts here, everyone definitely thinks you're the ass, if anything. I think maybe one person agreed with you. Everyone else is sighing and shaking their heads.
Seems to me lots of really off-topic threads are finding their way here. Why is it that every time the staggering revelation hits them that BBT's riff is from something else, or whatever it is at the time, they have to immediately make a new thread (and NEVER in the off-topic, oh no)? Edit: Sorry to be such a dick man, but we've seen waaaaaaay too many threads like this.
