Rip offs?

Max Power1 · 2011-03-16 15:07:07

Is it just me or are a lot of riffs etc recycled? See the below song. The first riff and one of the recurring riffs throughout the track sounds exactly like Rainbow's "since you been gone" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qSiG10W5Afo

Fairly sure it's intended as a tribute.

It's pretty common in metal. Just look up the YouTube series "Metal that sounds like other Metal"
Big name acts are guilty of this aswell. For example

Patches of Dream Theater songs are like Metallica (This Dying Soul is like Blackened) and then BFMV's Scream, Aim, Fire is taken from part of Endless Sacrifice. Happens whole time

i'd say it is bound to happen, the amount of times i've played something "new" only to realise , or have it pointed out to me, that it is not:rolleyes:

direct plagerism is a different story and not cool unless credited.

as in that sanitarium link above, both sound cool and unique so happy days!

I started a thread about this last month, plenty more examples there. It can be a fine line between rip off and tribute.

Not saying that Pantra ripped off Zepplin but, I always thought that the main riffs in these songs sounded really similar:

They ripped off their style of playing, more than just any particular song, that ain't too bad. But on that sticks out to me it this;

Never liked Audioslave because of it.

in a century where new ideas are ever harder to conceive, it can be passed of as 'coincidental'

The chorus melodies of these are uncanny. I remember hearing the later for the first time and couldn't help but burst into "ooooooh she's a little runaway....."

That same chord progression is in Jethro Tull's Aqualung aswell, at least they sound the same to me.
