ahh, Norther rips of Bodom discussion number 4,555,339,483,235,123.5
My only question is, why are everyone so hot to call Norther a rip off band, but no one jumps all over the countless NWOBHM bands back in the day that 'rip off' Maiden or Diamond Head or Saxon, the countless Bay Area Thrash bands that 'rip off' Exodus, the countless Death Metal Bands that 'rip off' Florida or New York death metal, the countless Black Metal bands that 'rip off' Burzum or Mayhem, the countless Melo-death bands that 'rip off' AT the Gates....
should I keep going? Its called influence. If you play a style of music, sure you might have some similarities here and there. But if you listen to Death Unlimited, and especially Solution 7(new album, its not out til 30.3.05 tho) you will hear very, very little. Nothing to jump on a band about. I mean everyone don't have to like em, to each their own of course, but i guess the whole rip off thing is getting old.
And yeah, the whole band is really talented. Kride is now endorsed by Jackson(its on their website), which is awesome. Jukkis is prolly one of the best bass players here in Helsinki dare I say it, also.
