Listen to Through the looking glass by symphony x then listen to Downfall. downfall's opening keyboards is identical to that of through the looking glass. just a slight difference in timing. Bodom totally ripped them off cause TTLG came out a year beforehand. o_O
 
Errr Janne was using that intro during their live shows as a filler before they even wrote Downfall so I doubt they ripped it off Symphony X.

They're different chords too.
 
Yeah really. Janne plays a 5th chord, the Symphony song uses a sus2 thing.

And again:

"Errr Janne was using that intro during their live shows as a filler before they even wrote Downfall so I doubt they ripped it off Symphony X."

Too bad that cob made it better than the "original".

Obviously someone does, since he made a thread. stop bitching and learn to play kissing the shadows instead.
 
really SX is much more technicaly proficate band then Bodom...

Bodom makes some rocking songs and the members are fairly good at their instruments, but you can't really compare it to SX.
 
well its one thing to take small parts but i don't think people should totally rip off peple vanilla ice style... lol.

like for example i was listening to joe stump a few mintues ago and for a second or so i heard him do a lick and i thought, "he stole that from malmsteen." But it went along good with the song and the entire thing didn't sound like a malmsteen rip off so im fine with that. He even sites malmsteen as a major influence.

Don't know if that comment was meant towards me, but i'll give you my fair opinion about it. I wasn't arguing that romeo and pinella aren't as good, i totally agree with them being more technical, and I also enjoy Symphony X, what i was saying is that Downfall to me is a better song than Through the looking glass.
 
I dunno, I think Janne comes pretty close to being as technical as Pinnella, if not more.
