Zeus 7997 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. 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 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H5R_5xJjth8 Mari Hamada - Crescendo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GELdWEeBtzw Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Takadanobabaalien 3607 Posted May 2, 2013 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Peace Heavy mk II 7200 Posted May 2, 2013 > 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? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sai 868 Posted May 2, 2013 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.

Karma’s Hat 3107 Posted May 3, 2013 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Peace Heavy mk II 7200 Posted May 6, 2013 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. http://youtu.be/BCyOQx7GfFo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Karma’s Hat 3107 Posted June 4, 2013 I know nokubura is influenced by BMTH, this song have similar intro IMO 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.
