emo band steals Downfall riff

Here's my theory in simple steps...

  1. CoB beginning to become trendy with MTV airplay
  2. AYDY? sounding somewhat Metalcore
  3. Metalcore is somehow related to Emos
  4. Emo band checks their old stuff
  5. Emo band thinks the old stuff is über-underground
  6. Emo band steals riff
  7. UM members laugh

I don't really care about this emo band or what they did, nobody will associate them with COB, anyway, and everybody knows which band is better.
 
!!! ALEXI WILDCHILD ???? are u alexii?????
No, sorry, I'm not Alexi.. but maybe I could arrange a date for you with him :p
Can u get me his msn?? i would like to learn guitar from him :p
 
LOl hey ive got question guys i know many metal experts and most of em told me to stop listening to COB because they became commercial :( is that real?? anyway:
COB FOREVA :p
 
I don't think they intentionally plagiarised it. Plagiarising a big band like CoB intentionally is downright stupid.

It happens to every single musician (hell, every single artist) to come up with something that they think is totally original and totally awesome, and then realize, hey, fuck, someone did this already.

I wrote a intro song for my band a few months ago which I was pretty proud of, until I realized that it was exactly the same as living deadbeat's intro.. hell, even the same kind of lead synth was used. :lol:
 
I pity them because I remember last year: I had a riff and was totally proud of it, I thought it could be one of the coolest riffs in history. But when I wanted to show it to my band they were yust like: "Dude, this is 100 % Pantera".

So even I did not notice, although I have all Pantera-Albums (except CfH).

My point: laugh at them for being emos, not for stealing a riff :lol:

Yeah taht shit happens alot :lol:. Its what happens when you get influenced.

Well, my friends used to go to Motown night at a bar downtown, but stopped because its pretty much overcrowded with emo children now all under 16. Probably think its ironic and funny, like argyle vests, non of them know shit about motown.

Also, I personnaly consider metalcore a branch of emo.
