Benighted - Partial stolen intro from Camel

Ending Credits - Structure and likeness COULD be from "the snow goose"

which camel song for benighted?
and sorry man but i gotta say ending credits and the snow goose are nothin like each other.
someone said endign credits is like the first lady fantasy riff and i reckon thats closer but still pretty far-fetched. although im still waiting to find out which camel song mike reckons ending credits is ripped off from so maybe one of u two are right. or maybe he jsut means ending credits has a very camel-y feel about it which i reckon it does.

the snow goose is a fucking sic song

oh an while we're on the topic can neone confirm for me whether or not the riff in the snow goose is exactly the same as the one in la princess perdue? cos i swear it is. both of those songs are soooo good

ummm...listen to the lead guitar playing mike does on ending credits...then the lead guitar playing at 00:41 on the snow goose track. obviously mikes has the "opeth" offbeat aproach to it...but its pretty similar to me.

either way, thats why i said "COULD" again...but apparently the children on this forum are having A LOT of trouble with that concept and assume im stating fact.

Why is it that pretty much all your posts are negative?
 
9ft, i hope you're not referring to me ;)

anyway, ending credits is just something that sounds similar to camel, and that's probably why mikael says it's 'ripped off'..of course, he COULD have been inspired by the snow goose ;)

I have noticed that Opeth tends to rip its previous albums off quite a bit. This is quite interesting really. Here's a few examples:

Nectar 8:50-10:09 -> Demon of the Fall 2:17-3:08
Karma 1:02-1:57, 2:11-2:41 -> Godhead's Lament 2:55-3:36, 8:52-9:18
Serenity Painted Death 0:46-1:23 -> The Funeral Portrait 5:13-5:35 (Also notice the acoustic picking at the end of each lead!)
Deliverance 8:16-8:26 -> Windowpane 1:12-1:23 (Okay, this might be a bit far-fetched)

Haven't found the Orchid -> Morningrise, BWP -> Deliverance and Damnation -> GR connections yet :(

There's the mellow part in Wreath (7:35-7:55) that sounds a lot like Atonement (1:10-1:24), drumline might be exactly same.

Haha, Opeth are even ripping themselves off

Yeah, I don't remember you being this much of an ass NFU... but maybe it's bitterness from not having the unofficial forum at your fingertips.


actually the unofficial forum is at my fingertips, feel free to check it out. and apparently your memory isnt very good then. im nice to the people i feel like being nice to, and the people who deserve it...its always been as such. but no, i dont share this new hippy "lets all suck eachothers dicks and hold hands" sentiment this forum now seems to project.
 
I don't remember, but it could be since it's a concept album and everything.
Too lazy to put the CD playing :)
