Zeus 7997 Posted May 1, 2013 We had something like this before so I'm bringing it back.Here's the name of the game: you find a song that borrows elements from another song by a different artist. One of the artists has to be visual kei. The element could be a riff, a vocal line, the entire song, etc.Here's a good example:SILENT DIFFERENCE - CRIMSON DUST sounds a hell of a lot like:lynch. - All this I'll give you http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XHURrU_oiDY lynch. came first BTW.Also:SILENT DIFFERENCE - BELIAL near the end sounds likeDir en grey - Pink Killer http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LDak5Kd03AQ You can't tell me you don't hear that. 2 merchenticneurosis and Chikage reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Manabu 144 Posted May 1, 2013 Old Gazette-New Gazette HAHAHAHA, but really Alice nine's Kiseki (from the mirrorball single) has almost the exact same opening riff as Blink 182's dysentry Gary http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6HRKHJysO7U http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JjBtvP75DLc Edit: Listening to both of these, despite copying the riff Alice nine have done a lot better with it 1 IGM_Oficial reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Eraser 66 Posted May 1, 2013 Lament's new single sounds a LOT like an old 12012 b-side, especially the chorus: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4frVhxB6zhM Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Eraser 66 Posted May 1, 2013 (Sorry for the new post, can't embed more than 2 videos for some reason) lynch's Ambivalent Ideal PV was highly "inspired" by an Argentine band's music video: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Eraser 66 Posted May 1, 2013 Well, this one is so obvious I don't have to say anything else. Not sure if it was meant to be a D'espairsRay cover or just a pure ripoff: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nick 10212 Posted May 1, 2013 One more from SILENT DIFFERENCE Original: Dir en grey - Unknown... Despair... a Lost This is not VK but still J-Rock related.

Peace Heavy mk II 7200 Posted May 1, 2013 Litchi Hikari Club's "Dark Knight"'s guitar solo sounds a hell of a lot one I've heard in a Dream Theater song before (still trying to find the song). lynch.'s 'Quarter Life' has a few melodic lines that are in a different key from Emmuree's an「acute」. [_Vani;lla]'s "ゥソつき," V-LAST.'s "彩恋-sairen-," and And's "恋スル@BOY" all have more or less the same riff thing going on with slight variants, presumably stolen from somewhere in an irrelevant GazettE single from who knows when. Megaromania's 'Bloodshed' is Rhapsody of Fire's "Dawn of Victory." E'm~Grief~'s 'Amentia' is Dimmu Bugir + some gross Cradle of Filth song mixed together (Yuuze had a severe lapse of judgement in 2009, please forgive him). Missa's '奇櫻の宴,' The Piass' 'G-Gas~,' and another song by The Kiryu (I can't remember which, for the life of me) have this same oriental melody to it. I've been dying to know where it comes from. Likewise, the Kiryu's 'Another Side' has the theme from Tetris in it (which came from a Russian folk song itself). 1 IGM_Oficial reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Eraser 66 Posted May 2, 2013 This Cat fisT single was most likely inspired by THE INVISIBLE WALL. Although I think both songs are great on their own, there are a lot of similarity between them: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tokage 5930 Posted May 2, 2013 Plastic Tree is pretty good at the plagiarizing game too. Andro Metamorphose is basically Mew's Comforting sounds, Fujunbutsu is REALLY similar to Smells Like Teen Spirit and Rira no Ki is basically My Iron Lung Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sai 868 Posted May 2, 2013 the GazettE's BEFORE I DECAY quite resembles lynch.' SHADOWZ. Not entirely sure which one came first, but I think SHADOWZ was released before BID. I seem to recall their release dates were very close to eachother, so I doubt there was any inspiration there considering BID was probably a DIM leftover. Then of course there's Unknown Despair a G (which beautifully ripped off the main riff). I vaguely recall hearing a VK song once that nearly had the exact same drumming pattern as Genesis' Driving The Last Spike, though the roll of the drums were less apparent in that one. I wish I remembered which one it was. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
