Title: Similar songs
Post by: Yumeko on February 21, 2008, 06:05:31 AM
This is sort of a discussion for songs that remind you of other songs are you think are blatant copies.  Regardless if the artist had the rights or not; usually nothing is said until a fan points it out.  Anywho...sometimes those parts ruin a song or make a song.  So discuss...what do you think?  Anywho you've noticed?

here are three I've found on my own.

Gackt - Emu ~ my dear  vs.  U2 - With or Without You (http://youtube.com/watch?v=6em9lU2B6mk)

THSK/DBSK - TRICK (http://youtube.com/watch?v=K1xUntrNVMk)  vs.  Michael Jackson - Smooth Criminal (http://youtube.com/watch?v=2WjOn5TNjBM)

LM.C - Tiny Circus  vs.  Dusty Springfield - I only want to be with you (http://youtube.com/watch?v=MczZzJ-jy5c)

One other that someone pointed out to me...

Gackt - Another World (http://youtube.com/watch?v=qG4a5x7HAHc)  vs.  Josie and the PussycatsThree small words (http://youtube.com/watch?v=jsvpg963ej8)
this one really bothers me.  I wish there was some explanation out there for why this happened.  All I've ever heard was that the tunes are pretty simply and it could just be by chance.  But who knows...  I will say Gackt's version is better ^^

MUCC -  Nageki no Kane guitar solo vs. Miserlou (the song from Pulp Fiction)

cant wait to hear the comments about that one. not exactly similar songs, but its practically the same riff, just slowed down.

its just the first part of the solo. its literally the same riff. and not the opening part of Miserlou, its like halfway through the song.

Yes, I think the resemblance is there, but I would've never thought of that myself!
I love Nageki no Kane, that intro is ace.


It's not a direct influence but I often get a Red Hot Chili Peppers vibe when I hear the intro to alice nine.'s Hana ichi yaiba. It makes me think Get it Away or something.

I don't find any of quoted bands 'shitty' (except Sadie that sucks dicks of their management and stylists, but every scene has its whores)
and bullet for my val is okay (considering you still listen to, beg everyone's pardon, MUCC).


NEXT.

you really like Unsraw? gawd. Encyclopedia Dramatica was right about this forum.

and if you really like BFMV, i can help you by guiding you in the direction of similar bands who arent quite the garbage they are.
Title: Re: Similar songs
Post by: nekki_chibi on February 23, 2008, 02:23:20 AM
LEARN  TO READ, I didn't say I really like bfmv;
I think that musical recommendations from one listening to mucc will not go with my personal taste, thank you.

And Unsraw looks and sounds much better than all of new vk bands
If Dir en grey didn't go 'we like the US' after Vulgar, I wouldn't listen to Unsraw
but now I do.

btw I'm like a magical fairy, every, even the most innocent comment of mine, causes more or less drama
Is dat sum 'guy's psychology', to tell everyone that ONLY YOU ARE RIGHT, only BANDS YOU RECOMMEND are must-hear, only YOUR WORD SHOULD BE THE LAST?
I giv it to you.

They're on the same label and performed together at Nippon Budokan. Tara, the ex-Bassist of 176BIZ also wrote that song and... Admittedly, he's a big MUCC fan.

Also, for god's sake...

【_Vani;lla】 - 悪行懺悔 (Akugyou Sange) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Prw--Vrc6jc) <---> ガゼット (Gazette) - 泥だらけの青春 (Doro Darake no Seishun) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qjd1bk8Su5U) & センチメンタルな鬼ごっこ (Sentimental na Onigokko) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gkOgqXb-Oyg&feature=related)
As if they didn't already look alike... It's almost like they fused these two Gazette songs.

Versailles - The Revenant Choir v/s X Japan - Silent Jelausy

Its an amazing song of Versailles but its a little too similar to X JAPAN u.ú

"Last hope I wish" sounds like Silent Jealousy and a bunch of Versailles songs.

I don't mean that they just sound slightly similar. I'm 100% sure that this song directly steals sections from the others.

Post by: Culo on July 01, 2008, 06:04:35 AM
nothing can be shittier than gazetz, once you reach that crap level, you're just doomed to suck forever, but can't go lower than that.

and about verseils VS silent jealousy yeah i dunno, but silent jealousy was actually a good song

i dunno... you really think Mucc is shittier than Gazette? i mean, i like both bands, so its different from disliking them both and judging their shittiness against eachother, but i think Mucc is quite superior compared to Gazette.
