Stolen songs (NOT covers)
Original post
Posted by Valentin B, 28.06.2006 - 14:02
i'll start:Limp Bizkit-behind blue eyes=same as intro of angels fall first(nightwish)
madonna-hung up=abba-gimme gimme gimme(same stupid rhythm)
children of bodom-hatebreeder=nightwish-nemo("nemo sailing home...")
of course i don't know if any one of these have the original song listed in the booklet,so i'm not quite sure...
but anyway a lot of people say that nu metal bands like linkin park and others copy all sorts of riffs and stuff from pantera and sepultura,so fire away and please no posts such as "OMFG THOSE X BAND IDIOTS COPIED THOSE UNBELIEVABLY COOL AND TALENTED GUYS FROM Y BAND'S RIFFS,VOCALS,ETC. IN Z ALBUM WHICH WENT MULTI-PLATINUM!!!WTF HOW CAN SOMEONE IN THEIR FULL CONTROL OF THE BRAIN DO THIS??!?!!?THOSE CHEAP POSER BASTARDS IMITATORS MOTHERFUCKERS!!!"

Is it only me who is founding similarities in these two?  also when talking about Bathory - Hammerheart IS Jupiter Hymn by Gustav Holst (more beautiful how original i have to say )...but dunno, maybe Quorthon announced it  (but at least it is not entitled "Hammerheart (Gustav Holst Cover)")

You want something that's TOTALLY stolen, listen to Nightwish's "Ever Dream" and then listen to the French rapper Tunisiano's song "Je Porte Plainte".

This is another example about this Tunisiano - i tried some other his songs and i got feeling he is always stealing from someone, mostly from Eminem if i am not hearing "When I'm Gone", then i am deaf

Well there is this band Nocturnal Depression which plays depressive black and they figured out that anyone who will be listening to them is grim enough to not know My Dying Bride so they ripped of My Wine In Silence added a couple of riffs and there you go a new song under the name of Suicidal Metal Anthem and it is as cheesy as it sounds

Venom's "Maleficarvm" off of Metal Black always reminds me of Sabbath Bloody Sabbath.

Cracked.com is a humor site. Plus, countless songs have been done. You can call practically every song there is a rip-off of something else. Although, somehow, Stairway to Heaven doesn't surprise me.

Not "stolen", but quite amusing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-glTllMPpBo I'm a huge Falkenbach fan, but i lol'd... He must have intentionally lifted the games' melody, surely? Arachnes - Just Try and Hit Me, and Glory Opera's Ants of Fire spring to mind, though- both songs are similar.

Written by Daru Jericho on 16.07.2006 at 01:00 michel of opeth says that he's extremely influenced by Porcupine Tree and they're one of his favorite bands plus the keyboardist of porcupine tree produced and played keyboards in the Damnation album so i doubt they would steal from porcupine tree

Written by vangosh on 07.11.2010 at 00:26 That wasn't ripping off. *sigh* Papa Roach even said in inetrviews back in the time that they did that becuase they love Iron Maiden and wanted to pay tribute to them that way.

Written by vangosh on 07.11.2010 at 00:26 Iron Maiden what now? Papa Roach at least had one cool album before they lost it. Which is more than you can say about Maiden. Copying Iron Maiden is not so much of a crime as it is pathetic. Plus, copying that way is more a tribute than anything else so apart from your black and white view of both bands, at least Papa Roach seem to agree with you in you view of Maiden. On topic: It's probably been mentioned here before but I found it a really peculiar case. German rapper Bushido stole samples of the whole discography of a french gothic band for one of his albums. He got sued here big time and if the sentence becomes effective, the album of his in question has to be removed from stores and all copies of it have to be destroyed. He also stole parts of Dimmu Borgir's Mourning Palace and was sued for big money back then as well.

Written by corrupt on 11.11.2010 at 09:47 That Iron Maiden Papa Roach example just shows you the immense downsides of internet. Someone posts the clip on yuotube stating it a rip off without doing any background research into why that riff pops up in Last Resort.

Running Wild - Final Gates vs. Nightwish - Nymphomaniac Fantasia - the main riff sounds suspiciously similar Andrew Lloyd Webber - Phantom Of The Opera vs. Thyrfing - Valdr Galga - the intro is the very same Kroda used for the main theme in "Cry To Me, River..." a Christmas carol "Carol of the Bells" originally by Mykola Leontovič (found that when i suddenly heard it in The Simpsons (s22e08)  )

Just learned that Eluveitie's "A Rose For Epona" is just a plain copy of Blood Stain Child's "Metropolice"...this "band" is even more pathetic than i thought...

There are a few signed bands that have an unfortunate record of stealing music from much lesser known local bands then rewriting the lyrics, repackaging and selling as their own. Example Avatar's song "black waltz" (put out late 2011) compared to Fin'amors "Bleed the Oceans" a song which has been circulating the NYC metal scene since about 2010, is suspiciously similar. Actually ... aside from the tempo and lyrics the songs are almost identical, except that one came out at least a year earlier.

Written by Ellrohir on 20.05.2010 at 15:43 Yeah, the album notes for Twilight Of The Gods list "all music by quorthon exept Hammerheart, exert rfom Gustav Holst, the planets OP.32 of 1914, rearranged by Quorthon for Bathory..." I know it's an old comment, but I only just saw this thread today. Written by Ellrohir on 07.02.2013 at 16:45 Listening to the second one now, the flute is using the same sheet music, but the chorus's are different, although there's some similarity between the verses. But yeah, that's the same flute intro.

How about Motorhead's You Better Run and they're cover of I'm Your hoochie Coochie Man. The tune/melody/music is almost exactly the same, yet no mention of Willie Dixon on March Or Die.

Ok well I'd like to mention a song that I like ALOT from Havok... Its ''Prepare For Attack'', at 1:08 of the song, you can clearly hear a riff used by Metallica in ''Motorbreath'' on Kill 'Em All. Yeah yeah, Stolen but still a good fucking awesome no matter what.

Well the winning dickhead in metal would still be Brynjard although i have to admit the version of "Set Sail Towards Doom" on his album sounds better then the original (by Avathar i think) i was able to found

None of the songs are stolen, the original still exists, there just is an imperfect copy of them by someone else now

Unless a fan points out a song X sounds very similar to another song Y, I think alot of the "ripped off" songs wouldn't even be noticed by the bands. Also, most of the time you don't make music out of nothing, so playing 4 notes in the same way as another one is quite plausible, specially if it's from the same genre/inspiration.

Yes, but many examples here are much more than "4 notes in the same way"...may be coincidence, but sometimes its really hard to believe
