Opeth rips/similarities

[all_sins_undone]

We all know the GoP and Tool's Lateralus one.
Also there was a Sepultura one someone pointed out. Completely forgot it. Anyone else have any to share?

 

[all_sins_undone]

I guess I'll take a pickle with that.

 

[shark22]

Say, did I happen to inspire this thread? Much obliged.

 

[zakk_hate_me_666]

iron tusk (i think) by mastadon - is a blatant rip of wreath... or at least i say so.

 

[The Evil Toucan]

Benighted is a direct lift from a Camel song

 

[FRUGiHOYi]

so is ending credits according to mike, but i wouldnt know

 

[NFU]

My Arms Your Hearse - Comus lyric
Benighted - Partial stolen intro from Camel
Still Life - COULD be a reference to the band of the same name or of VDGG
Amen Corner - Another Band
Blackwater Park - Another Band
Master's Apprentices - Another Band
Face of Melinda - COULD be named after Curved Air's song "Melinda"
Orchid - COULD be taken from the Sabbath song of the same name
Ending Credits - Structure and likeness COULD be from "the snow goose"
For Absent Friends - COULD be coined from the Genesis OR Gilgamesh song.
Baying Of The Hounds - Comus Lyric
Profundo Rosso - their tour shirt...Goblin OST from the italian horror film
Atonement - Supposedly inspired directly by a George Harrison sitar beatles track.

and im sure theres more, but theyve escaped me at the moment

 

[MasterOLightning]

Iron Tusk? No way. Lots of songs start with a drum fill.

I keep saying that the end of Beneath the Mire sounds like the end of Meshuggah's Beneath.

Also, towards the end of Deliverance there's a part very similar to Iced Earth's Desert Rain intro.

 

[NFU]

im sure mike isnt retarded enough to copy any iced earth material on purpose.

 

[Valerie]

im sure mike isnt retarded enough to copy any iced earth material on purpose.

 

[L0bster]

Weakness, a little over a minute into the song, after the first verse or so has a big simliarity with No Quarter by Led Zeppelin

most of those weren't exactly musical rips. But maybe this thread aint limitexd to that. Also, there is a band called "For absent friends" and I guess it is a common, though quite old, expression.

 

[zakk_hate_me_666]

TELL ME THAT INTRO RIFF DOESNT SOUND LIKE WREATH TOO!!

,maybe im goin insane, but my friend noticed too, and this one dude at the sho wthe other night... so either me and those dudes are crazy or it sounds like it.

 

[FRUGiHOYi]

Iced Earth rules...

 

[MasterOLightning]

No, they're in entirely different time signatures. Definitely not similar. The tempo is about the same, but that's about it.

 

[prowlergrig]

9feet, almost all those 'COULD's are wrong

 

[Sanzen]

9feet, almost all those 'COULD's are wrong

actually, he's right, man. A lot of those have some pretty distinct similarities.


As for the Wreath - Iron Tusk deal....come on. They sound nothing alike, and if you think they do you're a fucking idiot.

 

[FUBAR]

Is the VDGG album 'still life' any good? I was thinkin about getting it...just cos of the connection...haha...although i know they're a great band

 

[NFU]

9feet, almost all those 'COULD's are wrong

please enlighten us with your divine fanboy influence and wisdom. since obviously i dont know anything about this genre or the albums therein that mike would have been influenced by...and youre the obvious expert here.


but i wasnt claiming them to be fact anyway...thus the "COULD". :Smug:

 

[liquidcow]

I heard that there's a riff in Master's Apprentices that is ripped from Morbid Angel, but I don't know which riff and which Morbid Angel songs it's supposed to be from since I'm not familiar with them. It's a distinct possibility since Mikael does like Morbid Angel a lot.

As for Wreath and Iron Tusk. No way. Nothing like each other. They're both 12/8 but they're in quite different tempos and keys, Wreath is a lot harsher and discordant than Iron Tusk (which has some major-third twin guitar harmonys going on in the opening riff, as opposed to Wreath's skronky-ness), and the picking-rhythm is totally different. I could go on but I think the point has been made by others already.
