I find it kind of ironic that Daniel from PoS and Andy from Brainstorm will be at the same festival this year after many were apparently unhappy with Andy's lyrics on Phorcefulahead where he (as some put it) blatantly ripped off Daniel and PoS's lyrics. Does anyone know if anything ever came of that? I personally did not have a problem with it; frankly, I would not even have noticed unless someone brought it to my attention. I believe Andy made a statement regarding the accusations, but I can't recall exactly what he said...
Ironic...
- Thread starter nightwish58
- Start date
I vaguely remember that actually...never heard from it again though...but I did think the reasoning behind his statement was horseshit.
So, do you think Andy will sing a duet with Daniel during PoS' set?
He obviously knows all the words.

I don't know if I'm mistaken, but I think first he said he had never heard of Pain of Salvation in his life. But when asked a second time about the lyrics he said that he uses a lot of material as inspiration for his writing, and that he probable heard some of pain of salvation's lyrics and used them to write his songs.

Stolen from the POS forum: Andy should join POS onstage, since he already knows the lyrics. 
And I thought that was one of the lamest excuses and apologies ever...
And I thought that was one of the lamest excuses and apologies ever...From the 2000 Pain of Salvation album, The Perfect Element:
2. In the Flesh
"She walks these empty streets alone
Looking for something they call "home" <--
Hoping to find some peace of mind
Sometimes we need to walk alone <--
...
Some wear their bruises on their skin <--
Others hide their scars deep within <--
She has a wound close to her womb
Blames herself for letting it in"
3. Ashes
"As we walk through the ashes <--
I whisper your name <--
A taste of pain to cling to
As we walk through the ashes
You whisper my name
Who's the one with the sickest mind...
now?"
From the 2002 Symphorce album, Phorceful Ahead:
1. Speak My Mind
"As I walk through the ashes <--
I whisper your name <--
As your soul is torn apart
A beating of your heart"
3. Slow Down
"Some wear their bruises on their skin <--
Others hide their scars deep within <--
Through all these years when you slow down
Sometimes you need to walk alone <--
Looking for something you call home!" <--
It really can't get much worse than that....

Wow, that does seem like a blatant attempt of riiping off lyrics from another band. He didn't even bother changing a word or two!!!
