Same Riff??? (Riff-Off)

[Avenger]

BY FAAAR the best Anthrax release SPPPEEEEEED MEEETAAAAAL!

Words of wisdom.

[MEXDefenderOfSteel]

There's one track off KREATOR's "Endless Pain" which is more or less a rip-off of a track off EXODUS' "Bonded By Blood" but I forgot which ones. Thrashaholics to the rescue?

Exodus song is "strike of the beast" but i dont remember the kreator song....and yeah is a fucken rip-off



lately i discovered some similarrities in the opening riffs of Tokyo Blade "night of the blade" and Metal Inquisitor's thane of cowder...

Metal Inquisitor is the kind of band that does these "homages" ever so often though. Just listen to the middle part of Daze of Avalon and compare it to Losfer Words.

One that came to my mind right now:

TOKYO BLADE - Night of the blade opening riff / PURGATORY (OHIO) - Deep into the red opening riff

right!...sometimes the best riffs are the most common

[tomas]

The music of these two songs is almost identical

Phantom Lord - I'm in HEAT
Pentagram - Drive me to the grave (the fast version on one of the recent LPs)

[Rock Beast]

the opening riff in BLEAK HOUSE- Rainbow Warrior
the second riff in METALLICA- sanitarium

Which is no suprise, since the only thing James and Lars did before starting the band was to hang out and listen to NWOBHM singles.

[humus]

Slayer - Cryonics and Black shepherd - Lord of darkness both use the same rhytm riff while playing the solo's.

[mordred]

Candlemass "Embracing the Styx" off their latest album has the same mainriff as Slayer's "Dead Skin Mask".

[ION BRITTON]

GRAVEN IMAGE - No rest for the wicked / CRIMSON GLORY - Lady of winter

[Nicko McBuff]

Heres a weird one, and a solo, bit of worship I think... Killer bands anyway

Pokolgép - Éjféli Harang (Midnight Bell) off Pokoli Színjáték around 2:52
Dokken - Unchain the Night also around the same time 2:59

Speaking of which what's the Pokolgép song with the almost WIld Child intro?

[Witchkiller]

Tokyo Blade - If heaven is hell/Sodom - Sepulchrlal Voice

Ok this isn't a case of similar riffs, but check the rather strange lyrical similarities between VAVEL's 'Another Chance' and PINK FLOYD's(!) 'The Gnome':

VAVEL:
"I want to tell you a story
About a little land if I can
A land called Greece
And it's people
who stay in their places
Eating or sleeping
and drinking their wine

It wore a scarlet tunic
And it looked quite blue
It had a great adventure
In the middle of the world
with bad friend's
Winning or losing
and waiting for a time

CHORUS

And then one day hurray
Another chance for Greece
to say hurray
Another leader came
the land to save
Another leader to fuck her
and get away"

PINK FLOYD:
"I want to tell you a story
About a little man If I can.
A gnome named Grimble Crumble.
And little gnomes stay in their homes.
Eating, sleeping, drinking their wine.

He wore a scarlet tunic,
A blue green hood,
It looked quite good.
He had a big adventure
Amidst the grass
Fresh air at last.
Wining, dining, biding his time.
And then one day - hooray!
Another way for gnomes to say..."

Just in general I think VAVEL's lyrics are abysmal, it was just on Thursday me and my friend were almost falling about laughing while reading them...

[ION BRITTON]

Just in general I think VAVEL's lyrics are abysmal

Funny thing is that i consider their music to be of the same quality as well

Here comes Vag now...
