Norther is a rip-off band?

[The Leper]

So i was listening to some Norther today and found this song called Dead. I quickly realized that the begining of the song Dead by norther, sounded REDICULOUSLY like the song Bullet Ride from In Flames. Do i have my bullet ride messed up or something. THis is hilarious. Someone please correct me. Take a listen.
In Flames > Norther
In Flames - Bullet Ride
Norther - Dead
Check them out and tell me theres something wrong.

Norther own you.

 

[drakkar_anni]

I'd check, but never been that arsed about 'N FLaYmeZ' to start with.

I've been saying that since... well, ages ago, it's fucking hilarious, you may steal a riff, but never a whole intro


That said, dude, Alexi is the king of stealing riffs, so before all you CoB fanboi's go off your tits at norther, take a look at your home turf first.

 

[The Leper]

Ha, ive never said anyhting about cob not being a huge rip off. But not so much as notice-able as the intro to a song. Its alright though, just thought i was going crazy...
haha, cob Fan-bois... THATS hilarious. Nice name and sig.

 

[Thanatopsis]

^lets leave that alone. he's had the name forever, and the sig is a joke making fun of alexi's makeup. besides, who cares.

What? i've been a CoB fan for years and years, the signature is meant in good fun and if you knew anything, you'd know it was made for a thread a while ago which all regular emmbers/fans participated in.


And i know exactly what happens when norther get brought up here, kids get upset and call norther a rip off band. I am also a huge norther, imperanon and kalmah fan, and i find that very unjust. You think you can do better?

 

[The Leper]

Ha, look man, Im a huge kalmah fan as well, Im not dissing you liking bodom or being fans of them, it was a sarcastic comment, it wasnt personal. Youve been a cob fan for years... ok, is that suppose to mean something to me, thats cool, i guess. I've only known them for 2 years. Im not getting upset and calling them a rip off band, I happen to like norther very much, i was just wondering if anyone else noticed this. Ha, chillax. no hard feelings or shit goin on my side.

Alright bro

 

[Trashdevil]

Ok... So Gav... why is that its always you that gets misunderstood... do s-s-stutter? Or just mumble... I mean for some reason people seem to think that you don't like CoB...

It's cause i'm scottish and everyone is racist.

[spirit crusher]

not really on topic, but racism makes me think of the beauty of maddox.

 

[TheSeldomlaid]

It's cause i'm scottish and everyone is racist.

It's cause you're scottish and Scotland is gay

 

[DoodgeGant]

It's cause you're scottish and Scotland is gay

Oh, you're in for it now boy!

 

[Abrasive-X]

ah, another idiot :O
similar riff, not the same at all
CoB is much worse with Alexi copying almost whole solos

Norther is more original than CoB will ever be. Some will disagree but that's their problem having such bad ears =)

 

[DoodgeGant]

YOu could say that Norther is paying homage

I agree 100%, EXCEPT on the "not the same riff" dude, it's identical

 

[Abrasive-X]

I agree 100%, EXCEPT on the "not the same riff" dude, it's identical

no its not, its just 2 riffs constructed around the same notes...

 

[-Gavin-]

with the samepicking pattern and roughly same tempo
