I saw in an interview one of the old members say that Blitzkrieg song was born out of a rehearsal where they were playing "Hocus Pocus", but couldn't get the opening riff correct. So they ended up with the riff in 6/4 time (the Blitzkrieg opening we all know) and then just wrote the main song/riff to go with it.Chafe wrote:Focus - Hocus Pocus and Blitzkrieg - Blitzkrieg
One of the riffs is practically identical.

Don't know if it's already mentioned but Sabaton's Cliffs Of Gallipoli is 90% rip off of Savatage's Gutter Ballet. Check out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2NKHju3VrSk

I can't say much about this because I've never liked anything Savatage put out after "Hall Of The Mountain King".The Erlking wrote:Don't know if it's already mentioned but Sabaton's Cliffs Of Gallipoli is 90% rip off of Savatage's Gutter Ballet. Check out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2NKHju3VrSk

Haha I've noticed that too.Ernest Thesiger wrote:Riff just before the final lead break in Mercyful Fate's "Evil" -> Survivor's "Eye of the Tiger".

Slayer "Black Magic" and Exumer "Fallen Saint" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nx5FPohPpl4)
Anyway Possessed by fire is still a great lp, and they surely were influenced by Slayer.
Here maybe i'm just dreaming, but the riff from Burzum "War" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tPJpfNE73fQ) sounds to me very similar to Root "Pisen Pro Satana"

And this one's a classic, and probably a tribute : Nirvana "Come as you are" and Killing joke "eighties".

They both sound like Bathory's Necromansy.Zombie Dance wrote:Here maybe i'm just dreaming, but the riff from Burzum "War" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tPJpfNE73fQ) sounds to me very similar to Root "Pisen Pro Satana"

Yes I read quite funny things about it like
andThere are so many songs worldwide .... its normal, that there are places in songs or something else which sounds similar to some other.
Its the same thing with our universe..... there are so many planets, so there is life on another, too.
Ridiculous! Yeah there are plenty of unintenional similarities between different songs in this world but THIS is the clearest ripoff I have ever heard in Heavy Metal music.There's only so many possible different combinations of notes given that the musical scale only has 8 notes, and only so many possible different combinations of rhythms. I mean, I highly doubt Savatage patented the eighth-triplet-triplet-eighth rest-eighth-eighth pattern or the notes. With the limited notes on the scale, some things are obviously going to sound similar eventually.
