Yeah, I've heard that. That shit was ridiculous. That same fucking Rap artist did a song with Ozzy's Crazy Train in it... wtf

GGGrrrr i hate Rap artists stealing from good metal songs it is sooooooo annoying because they are ruining a good song

Do you people realize that basically when a metal band does it with a non metal song, you find it very cool while people who don't like metal actually think that song is ruined? When metalheads realize they're not the only people on earth who can appreciate music, it's gonna be a great day for humanity.

Ummm gd point

Arakain - Dívka S Perlami Ve Vlasech (orginal Scorpions - White Dove)
Ale? Brichta (formerly Arakain) - Noc Kouzel (original Alice Cooper - Poison)

i am not sure if i can name these songs covers, while the lyrics and meaning was completely changed... most propably not...

and Brichta does it with a lot of songs - e.g. his Hattrick is "redone" Kids Arent All Right by The Offspring...

his signing is good but damn, he is taking good ideas and only changing lyrics... :?

There's a riff in the intro of Dream Theater's song "As I Am" (before the singing begins) that sounds exactly like the main riff of Corrosion of Conformity's "These Shrouded Temples". Must've been a coincidence, I dunno... there's a 12 year gap between "Train of Thought" and "Blind" and I find it difficult to see the DT guys listening to C.O.C....

Dream theater's intro on "In The Name Of God" from train of thought album and "michael jacsons" Give in to me from black or white album and also eminems song that goes " you can suck my dick if you don't like my shit"

Now i am not sure, if my accuse will be correct here, but i have noticed Arkona's "Brate Slavyane" from "Vozrozhdenie" uses exactly the same music as Nokturnal Mortum's "Perun's Celestial Silver"...i know one cover of this NM's song by czech band ?rec, but there is proclaimed it is cover...but i dont see any connection between it and Arkona's song...so correct me, if i am wrong, but i would say, this is a stolen song (very nice though )

Maybe it is an original folk song of which the author is not know (just like whisky In A Jar) o covered all over the place.

I can think of rap artists stealing songs. First one would be the classic example of Vanilla Ice's song Ice Ice Baby, which is practically the same as Queen's Under Pressure. Then it would be a song from P. Diddy (I don't know the name) which had the same melody of Zeppelin's Kashmir.

Maybe this is not stealing but what do you think about the intro of this songs, IMO, they are very similar.

Rhapsody Of Fire - Dawn Of Victory (2000): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wJVDzvJu870

Alestorm - The Quest (2009): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zE4h-YTNX7I

I'll bet Alestorm members dont even know...

it reminds me myself and my friend when we recently trying to create some atmospheric bm "summoning style" song and when the theme was done, we have discovered the main idea has nearly the same notes as Fear Of The Dark's intro...with absolutely no intention to do so...

A friend just realized that Morbid Angel's Summoning Redemption sounds very similar to Behemoth's As Above So Below.

It really does sound extremely similar.

Caliban - Love Song --> the riff which introduces the chorus is stolen from After the Tragedy: "Stained Glass Expectations"

yup, Arkona stole this song...disgusting

Are you sure of it? or just blaming them because "it must be so"...

Does anyone know Neil Young the rock musician or his band Crazy Horse here? I have found a song by Astarte (yes... Astarte again...) where the intro sounds like one of his songs. At first i thought it was 'Words', but its not. There is definitely a song though, i only have the album Harvest on my computer though. Any help?
The Astarte song is 'Oblivious Darkness' off the Quod Superius Sicut Inferius album

Pretty much anything off the last few Gamma Ray albums have been nicked from Iron Maiden or Judas Priest. On the new album there are even some Rainbow riffs and solos re-used. You are a talented guy Kai, stop stealing ideas.

But all three bands you mentioned are influential. Their ideas have been used by many bands, it is quite normal. Gamma Ray have slightly turned more Heavy than Power, which probably makes them sound more alike Maiden and Priest.

Never thought about it like than Collin, good point!

I came across this a couple of years ago, but the intro riff of "K.I.N.G." by satyricon sounds very similar to dimmu borgir's "blood hunger doctrine"

Wow you guys missed all the really obvious ones. i dont listen to any metal past the 90s but even in the 80s/90s many of the classic bands of the genre borrowed riffs and ideas from eachother. whether these were done out of coincidence, accident, or tribute, who knows. but the proof is in the pudding

Sepultura - Desperate Cry (slow riff / drums around middle of song)/ Death - Secret Face (riff / drums underneath the solo)

Morbid Angel - Damnation (riff near end of song) / Atheist - Mother Man (riff near end of song)/ Death - Nothing is Everything (main riff)

Black Sabbath - Under the Sun (opening riff) / Atheist - I Deny (riff used during slow section) / Autopsy - Service for a Vacant Coffin (riff used during slow section)

Atheist - I Deny (fast riff used throughout song - different from above example) / Exhorder - Homicide (fast riff used throughout song)

Dissection - Where Dead Angels Lie (guitar leads) / Children of Bodom - The Nail (portion of guitar solo)

Not really an exact copy. But listen to Flames- Biosphere and tell me it doesn't remind you a lot of Iron Maiden's Afraid to Shoot Strangers.

Are we allowed to mention Metallica's early stuff that was all written by Mustaine or would that just turn into a "Megadeth vs. Metallica" bloodbath ?

Sigh, Mustaine co-wrote SOME of the early songs.

Anybody else noticed the similarity between Evergrey's Blinded and Solution .45's Through Night-Kingdomed Gates?

Yup. I hate it when people go on about Dave Mustaine ''writing all Metallica's early stuff''. Its obvious that people who say stuff like that just like to hate on Metallica, and cant even attack them in a subjective way. Dave CO-WROTE 4 songs in Kill Em All, and 2 on Ride The Lightning, and thats it. Where these people are getting that Dave wrote ''all'' of Metallica's early stuff from, I have no idea! He didnt even write most of it! lol

The dropkick murphys "im shipping out to boston" sounds quite similar to Bathory's Nordland, riff starting at 3:55), what do you guys think?
