"Inspiration" - where does music find it?

[Zeus 7997]

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.

They both came out at roughly the same time so it's more likely they were inspired by the same track than by each other. NoGoD's Saikou no Sekai also uses a similar riff. Riffs are a bit harder to nail down since there are some musical progressions which just pop up more than others.

Like for example:

Onmyou-za - Ayako

Mari Hamada - Crescendo

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GELdWEeBtzw

[Takadanobabaalien 3607]

I think that Gazette's RUDER sounds like something from late Kuroyume, can't remember the name tho

 

Also, DAS:VASSER ripped Kuroyume's Chandler in one of their songs on "not equal" release.

[Peace Heavy mk II 7200]

> presumably stolen from somewhere in an irrelevant GazettE single from who knows when.

 

Piisu calling matina gazette singles irrelevant, what's going on here

They were on Storm, so idgaf about them.

 

Also, Megaromania's "Prologue & Epilogue"'s piano + twinkling outro is the same outro as Diru's "Jealous." They have another song that I remember coming across that sounded like a song from Gauze. They also have costumes influenced from both Diru and Phantasmagoria. Does that count?

[sai 868]

Oh, I nearly forgot about YOHIO's attempt to rip off Kagrra,'s Utakata. The intro on one of his ballads on that album of his sounds almost exactly like the intro for Utakata. He did screw that up though, but that's not relevant here.

[LIDL 692]

I am totally enjoying this thread tbh. 

 

Got nothing to contributes yet though.

[Takadanobabaalien 3607]

They were on Storm, so idgaf about them.

 

I am pretty sure that Gazette was managed by Yayoi who was the owner of Eternal and not Storm.

[Karma’s Hat 3107]

Phantasmagoria ripped off that one... Laputa song was it? Pretsy ought to remember.

 

Worms song from Mejibray is My Devil on the Bed from The GodzettE 

 

The solo in Dir en grey's Juuyoku is obviously from Pray For Plagues by Bring Me The Horizon

 

Vurny http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=PPLxhkt4P-Q#t=33s took this one from R-shitei http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=7Fa8hqU721Y#t=23s

[Takadanobabaalien 3607]

I love the JE'REIVENS one, it's so obvious. Even more so since that song was released in Japan only. lol

[Zeus 7997]

Here's another one of my "favorites"

Valluna - Parasite Eve

D'espairsRay - Tatoeba...Kimi Ga Shinda Ra

[Peace Heavy mk II 7200]

I actually liked the Ha;qhe one. Huehuehue
 
 
Not sure if this counts or not, but Mother-motherinkatakana- stole album art from Misa. I don't believe they actually released any of it though, but they took the art from their 緋い糸 and 切葬 demotapes.
 
Likewise, the same band also took a song from S (not sure which, I've never cared for S), and '離別ノ揺篭' is '[slæver]' by Syndrome.

Sigh - The Summer Funeral

That's not the only instance. Disphoric Torment is  constructed from bits and pieces of BMTH songs from riffs to vocal melodies, and that sample is from the Eyeless cover too isn't it.

 

Pleasure of Torture has stuff from Unanswered by Suicide Silence as well  

[Mr Bacon 106]

√eight - Illational of the People = Zilch - Electric Cucumber

√eight -名も亡き神の行進 = Zilch - Psyche

I'm thinking you mean "歪んだ青春" for that second one? Haha

I didn't read the rules. I just thoughtit was other kind of thread.

 

Well...

 

GRIEVA too obviously influenced by Dir en grey. Maybe "copied" should be the word...

 

GRIEVA - Tokage

 

This inspired by:

Dir en grey - Cage

 

And Unknown... Despair a Lost

[DogManX 179]

@Zess Sigh isn't VK

 

 

 

Sendai Kamotsu is OBVIOUSLY inspired by nightmare, which is a totally different band. Look here

 

 

watch the solo

 

[Peace Heavy mk II 7200]

Dir en Grey's "Jealous" (posted elsewhere in this thread)

 

 

Penicillin's "Blood Type : S" :

 

 

Highly similar piano intros.

[Zeus 7997]

REFIENA - "混声合唱 sounds a lot like

 

MIYAVI - 常勝街道
