Stolen riffs

[Necromunchkin]

(In reference to Asmodee's thread on Royal Carnage"


Listen to the opening riff off of Death Angel "Devil's Metal"

and then listen to Mastodon "Ol' Nessie"

Someone owes someone credit here...

 

[neal]

well i dont have that death angel song so i can only listen to ol'e nessie. which riff is supposedly the ripoff? im trying to dl that death angel song.

 

[Necromunchkin]

Just the very first one, the songs are completely different otherwise (and as much as I love Death Angel, Ol' Nessie is the superior song).

 

[EricT]

The main intro riff...

And holy shit it is. Note for fucking note.

On a side note... DEATH ANGEL THIS WEEKEND FOR THE SECOND TIME THIS YEAR! Wooo!!!

 

[flying_whale]

new trivium, old metallica

 

[RodneyXM]

every metalcore riff is just stolen from some other metalcore band, who originally stole it from at the gates

 

[Anvil]

I wouldn't really say its stolen.

 

[DriftAlongLiquidSky]

I wouldn't really say its stolen.

borrowed? lent? shared? burgled? plundered? purloined?

HA-HA! loin.

 

[Anvil]

you can't really "steal" music. Someone is going to have thought up something extremely similar somewhere down in history. But, maybe it was directly stolen. Its not like I've asked them about it. Maybe its a coincidence?

 

[DriftAlongLiquidSky]

yeah i know how its next to impossible to create something that hasnt been done before, i just wanted to say loin.

Listen to We Disintegrate and I am the Dog

 

[RodneyXM]

Listen to We Disintegrate and I am the Dog

by what band??

 

[Mike]

get out of here

 

[AsModEe]

and for those who care, the example I gave on Royal Carnage was the intro of Strapping Young Lad's You suck and Gojira's Remembrance.

 

[raeon]

by what band??

Oh dear, what the hell's he doing here in the first place...

Yes, We Desintegrate and I Am The Dog share the same lead guitar, but the difference is that they're from the same band and the same guitarist dude

 

[El Stormo]

Listen to Iced Earth's Wolf, Damien and Jack. Notice the same riff in all three songs?

 

[Metal head87]

PooPoo Roach completely ripped off one of the many riffs from Iron Maiden's Infinite Dreams. I don't know which song it is exactly since I hate that band with a passion, but I think it was their most popular one.

 

[ZANEX]

Death Angel's "Devils Metal" came way before Mastodon. I have both and will have to listen to them.
