stabbing westward's self-titled album has a song called 'perfect' - it sounds just like the deftones' 'knife party' and came out a year later...hmmm

Deftones - Knife Party



Stabbing Westward - Perfect



agree?

The purpose of this thread. What is it?

5/20/2010 2:25:22 PM

Fuck Stabbing Westward man. What a fucking ripoff.

I mean that shit is fucking BLATANT.

5/20/2010 2:28:24 PM

^that's the point of this thread is to RAGEEEEE! at dirty rotten thieves.

currently jamming out to Austrian Death Machine - I Am A War Machine \ /

He is Legend - Mushroom River completely rips off the vocal melody in deftones - birthmark. I like HIL and used to like the guys in the band but I couldn't believe the first time I heard that song. I mean it is note for note on the intro of the vocals in both songs.

Nickleback uses the same song over and over again. Does it count if they rip themselves off?

5/20/2010 2:38:52 PM

^haha good one.

5/20/2010 2:39:42 PM

ok maybe this is a stretch...but listen to the hooks...Finley's joint came out in 1997...Maroon 5's in 2007





Finley Quaye hook starts at about 1:12, Maroon 5 hook starts at about 0:56

^ ya i hear it - no one has mentioned ac/dc and them recording the same album over and over for 25 years. or kanye west. we'll get to him, tho.

5/20/2010 2:42:00 PM

maroon 5 is a guilty pleasure of mine...i don't listen to much pop, but i can't help but like a lot of their stuff

in the spirit of the thread, though:

5/20/2010 2:58:18 PM

good thread...may be better for the entertainment section though

5/20/2010 3:17:27 PM

"since u been gone" stole the bridge of "maps"

white rabbits stole the drum beat from "kings of the wild frontier"

5/20/2010 3:27:01 PM

godsmack stole the music for 'keep away' from filter - the guitar line in 'whatever' is the bassline from 'hey man nice shot'.

Godsmack - Keep Away



Filter - Hey Man Nice Shot

5/20/2010 3:28:18 PM

whatever

it's going to happen

everything has already been done

5/20/2010 3:29:37 PM

Sublime's "What I Got" "borrows" pretty heavily from Beatles' "Lady Madonna"

5/20/2010 3:30:43 PM

foo fighters - 'everlong' vs deftones 'be quiet and drive'

parts are basically the same on guitar

Deftones - Be quiet and Drive



Foo Fighters - Everlong

5/20/2010 3:36:40 PM

Led Zeppelin - How Many More Times

Quote :

"Well, they call me the Hunter, that's my name Call me the Hunter, that's how I got my fame Ain't no need to hide, Ain't no need to run 'cause I've got you in the sights of my gun"

Danzig - The Hunter

Quote :

"Call me the hunter, That's my name Pretty young thing like you, Is my only game Don't use no love gun, Don't need no kissing When I get ahold of you honey, Gonna light you up like Christmas Ain't no use to run, babe Ain't no use to hide 'Cause I've got you in the sights Of my Burning"

5/20/2010 3:38:38 PM

^^eh same/similar chords in the verses but I don't really think it is close enough to some of the other stuff we are calling out

[Edited on May 20, 2010 at 3:39 PM. Reason : ]

5/20/2010 3:38:59 PM

fair enough - although the foo fighters released theirs after deftones...

had to look that up. same year but the deftones was released in the fall versus the FF in the summer.

5/20/2010 3:43:21 PM

lol near-pwnt. i prolly judged that by when i had the albums vs release date - i been stealing music for 15 years now!

5/20/2010 3:44:44 PM

hahaha. wasn't trying to prove you wrong. It just got me thinking when you posted that. I remember listening to them around the same time so I just was curious as to when each came out. I knew the deftones ATF was '97 just didn't know the month.

[Edited on May 20, 2010 at 3:46 PM. Reason : ]

^ i would never have known how close the release dates were had you not told me tho, I was just making a stoned guesstimate!

Breaking Benjamin's "Cold" (2004) has a near-identical melody in parts to System of a Down's "Spiders" (1998).

What about a band stealing not a particular song, but a whole sound? As discussed at length in another thread, Owl City's "Fireflies" is a low-rent ripoff of The Postal Service's entire sound, though not any one song.

5/20/2010 5:11:23 PM

Oh and how can we forget that recent Kid Rock song that was a blatant ripoff of Warren Zevon's "Werewolves of London"?

5/20/2010 5:12:42 PM

5/20/2010 5:13:44 PM

@ richthofen

that's a good angle to explore - like Disturbed stealing Sevendust's sound? Threat Signal stealing Linkin Park's sound?
