RIFF STEALERS

First of all... Hi, i'm new to the board..

latley i've been listenning to the new compliation of ANTHRAX (The Greater of Two Evils) which by the way KICKS MAJOR ASS, i noticed that the main riff in the song "Be All, End All" its the same one used in Behemoth's "Conquer All" in their lates effort "Demigod"...

what you think of that ????

im not sure if it has anything to do with stealing..
i havent heard either one of the songs, but still

maybe they just got the same riff by accident??
i mean coinsidence does exist
maybe they just heard some of their songs, and then made some riffs and one happend to be the same without them noticing it, ive had that once or twice

Haha yeah MMM88, you're fucking right. I dunno, maybe they stole it and thought "no one will even know", if so, fuck 'em. They really do sound exactly the same...

i have a few.
from different bands:

almost the entire of "brujerizmo" has an equivalent to "demanufacture" by fear factory
"imperium" by machine head has basically the same riff to "replica" by FF and "pititis, te invoco" by brujeria

for same bands:
metallica - st. anger (chorus riff)
metallica - damage inc. (chorus riff) these have same lyrics.

the lyrics in the metallica song are meant to be a tribute. im pretty damn sure james knew that he was writing the same chorus

about METALLICA... they r simple a music thieves, check out these:

Enter Sandman - Pure rip off from EXCEL's "Through The Emotional Void", i think all of you heard about this one, Dave Mustaine revealed it last year...

Fade To Black - The last melodic riff is a pure ripp off from Black Sabbath's "A National Acrobat" main riff and METALLICA makes it sound so crappy...

Nothing Else Matters - The beginning of the intro is so similiar to the intro of IRON MAIDEN's "Strange World"... i discovered that myself...

The Unforgiven II - The bass intro also is so similiar to the intro of IRON MAIDEN's "Children of the Damned"...

all of these cant be inspired or even came by acciedent, they r pure ripped off... i

and theres alot of other songs that METALLICA ripped off...

Speaking of the Anthrax/Behemoth songs that were originally mentioned, Sodom's "Little Boy" (M-16) has that exact same riff at the end of the song.

Metallica was dead once Dave Mustaine was kicked out plain and simple.

Has anyone else noticed the strong similarity between Nile - Ruins and Candlemass - Gothic Stone...? Don't know if it was ripped, or by who, all i know is that they're practically the same riff.



Both songs rule though

Yeah, I mentioned the Anthrax/Behemoth similarity a while back in the RTT thread. They are totally identical and I thought it was amusing because Anthrax was hosting the Headbanger's Ball and they played that Behemoth song. I've heard a lot of "similar" riffs before, but nothing as blatantly obvious as the Behemoth ripoff.

pff. you mean when he starts singing?
Too bad that song is better than Raining blood regardless of any 'stealing' of riffs that took place.

I listened to the first 30 seconds of that song, and if the riff similarities took place then, then yeah it sounds egyptian, but not like Ruins. I'd say it has a strong similarity to Opening Of The Mouth, though.

Hmm, I'm not hearing it...

If a riff sounds similar to another then it's likely to be a coincidence. Even the most complex of sequences can be arrived at separately. For example, Calculus was devised independently by Newton in England and Leibnitz in Germany. Amazingly complex (at times) but a complete coincidence nonetheless.

try these....

also, others that i found:

Primal Fear's "Metal Is Forver" has a riff after the second chorus that sounds alot like the main riff of Black Sabbath's "Lost Forever"......

Grave Digger's "Grave In No Man's Land" on their lates album "The Last Supper" is a pure rip off from Metallica's (should i say Metallica's..!!???) - Enter Sandman

The Haunted - 99, the openning riff and the main riff also is stolen from Vomitory's "Blessed and Forsaken"

Accept - London Leatherboys, the main riff is taken from Judas Priest's "Killing Machine" song, check out the underlyinf riff where Rob says "I gotta contract on you"...



and i have plenty of those things but i just cant recall them all...

how come you always take something seemingly simplistic and complex it up by adding in mathematics and big words. I feel like a retard whenever do that.

Not Metal but one that pissed me off because I actually like early Suicidal Tendencies..

Mudvein - She Hates Me (I fucking hate that song) the chorus is almost note for note "I Saw Your Mommy" by Suicidal.
