Therion stole an Ozzy solo? Check this out

[seraphi]

Ok, I rip all my cd's to mp3, and then have them play on random 24/7

The other day, i walked into my dorm, and there was a solo playing and i thought to myself: "ozzy kicks ass"

I thought i was listening to Moonspells cover of Mr.Crowly by Ozzy. Then I quickly realized that it was therion that I was listening to after the solo was over.

So i went back to the same spot in the song and listened to it again. Then I opened Moonspells Mr.Crowley, and confirmed that there is a STRIKING simalerity in the solo.
Check it out for yourself and let me know your opinions.

Here are the 2 songs and times:

Therion- Theli02) To Mega Therion 5:38
Moonspell- Darkness and Hope12)Mr. Crowley 3:24


Did therion rip this from ozzy? Perhaps a coincidence?
perhaps it was in the back of therions subconsious mind when they wrote their song?

actually if i'm right, To mega therion is a cover from celtic frost by therion.
Don't remember if the solo is the same on the celtic frost original version.
Anyway you may be right, it's a question of subconsiousness.
The important thing is both songs rules!

by the way it's not exactly the same solo

I think: "To create music, you must have 2 things, imagination and memory". and from memory, you think you're doing an excellent solo, or an excellent riff, but it's just some song that was taped in your brain...

really all it is, is tapping, anyways, both GREEEEEEEAAAAT songs!

Actually, it isn't a Celtic Frost cover. CF only had an album called To Mega Therion.

DUDE!!! When I first heard TMT by Therion back in what, 96 or something, I immediately was like wtf is this? How is this not recognized as a blatant steal of Crowley? I was livid that a band did that. Looking back on it now I laugh, but at the time to me, that was serious sacrilege.
