Sentenced ripped off Bathory

[Dick Sirloin]

And of course we all know that "You're Better Off Dead!" (I think) by the Children of Boredom ripped off the solo of Megadeth's "Hangar 18".

(For the newbies, I posted this fact on the CoB board years ago and accidentally started a MASSIVE forum war, of which I wish some of the posts hadn't been deleted... Erik's tablature thing still ranks up there with FUNNIEST INTERNET MOMENTS EVER)

Ohh god some of the posts were brilliant. I miss the days when we had rediculous flame war arguments. Everyones so civil on the forum these days.

Bathory - The Sword = Manowar - Blood Of My Enemies

Glad to see I'm not the only one who hears Manowarisms in Bathory's music.

There are plenty, but not to the point of ripping them off

I haven't spent a great amount of time with Bathory's music. And although I do, at times, hear a clear Manowar influence, I wouldn't go so far as to say it was a "rip off".

As i probably said before, the riff in "Hail To England" title track chorus, is where Quorthon based almost all his riffs in the epic era of Bathory.

Erik's tablature thing

i don't remember this, SHOW ME.

every stoner band i've gotten into over the last year or two has ripped off Black Sabbath. i'm glad.

The intro of "Bridge of Death" + the intro of "A Fine Day to Die"

The lyrics of "Bridge of Death" + the lyrics for "Enter the Eternal Fire"

Can't. It was in that huge thread that got so out of hand that JK deleted it. Alas, all we have are the memories...


Whatever happened to that pig-fucker EagleFlyFree?

...And the colon commando (tm) who made "tabs" a forbidden word, I think it was Stun or something...
