"Inspiration" - where does music find it?

Recommended Posts

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

> 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?

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.

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

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.

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.

 

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

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
