That's what influence is all about. As long as you aren't copying their music, it's fine. It just might not be viewed as extremely original.

Those who copyright their music will give a fuck. So will their lawyers.

If we're being honest here, rarely does anyone your age produce anything that isn't creatively derivative. So enjoy being a style leech off other people, because it's part of the learning curve and it'll wear off. If you're any good that is

Is 1pm too early to be stoned rotten?

Not if you have nothing better to do.

I thought I smelled 'funny' smoke . Must be the blazin' driftin' this way.


QUICK EVERYBODY COVER YOUR NOSE AND DON'T INHALE.......yeah, right , like most of this bunch worries about that. heehee


You listen or play what you like and then you take it a step further and branch to your own style. It works like that with writing lyrics and poems sometimes, too.
There's certain people I have a very high regard for and I try to do like they have done. But I use my own ideas and I'm very flexible in my styles. I've been doing a progressive rap at the other forum where I mod that's a gas , but I also posted a more 'normal' sad love song , too, in another thread.
Don't be overly cautious about copying if it isn't blatant. After all there is nothing new under the sun. You just have to make it sound that way.

the first thing i do when i get up is take a fucking hoot!!!

and as long as you're not copying the shit, it shouldn't matter. alot of metal bands sound alike, nobody cares.
