Hey everyone. I was just listening to Opeth and I noticed that Nektar (off of Morningrise) has the same riff from The Grand Conjuration (off Ghost Reveries). Listen at about the 8:48 mark and you'll hear the same riff from the start of the Grand Conjuration (it is sped up a bit on Nektar).
Does anyone know of any other riff repetitions?
doesn't matter what band.
these repetitions can be vocal too. ------------- When the world is sick Can't no one be well But I dreamt we were all beautiful and strong

"Sysyphus" - That main riff in Pt. 1 is repeated by Nick in his song, "The Grand Vizier's Garden Party Pt. 2", from the same album. Listen in the beggining of Pt. 2 when the flute is being played backwards, it's the same exact riff from "Sysyphus", and I was utterly amazed when I found it.  ------------- We got to pump the stuff to make us tough from the heart Its astart What we need is awareness we cant get careless Mental self defensive fitness Make everybody see in order to fight the powers that be |

In Another Day by Dream Theater, at 2:53, there is a riff for a couple
of bars that is exactly the same as the one from The Funeral
Portrait by Opeth (it starts at 0:30).

Hey guys, the riff from "Another Brick in the wall pt 1" is awfully similar to the one in "another brick in the wall pt 2..." *shot* Anyways, on a similar note, "Phase One" of Voyage 34 *porcupine tree* is a ripoff of both of these. Also, interestingly *kinda* the guitar part for "goodbye blue sky" is ripped off by "fade to black" by metallica. -------------

This Dying Soul from Train Of Thought has an obvious ripoff verse from Metallica's Blackened

Yeah very true..plus I dont think at that point he was thinking of having a huge career in music. He was in it for the best part: the music. Truly an inspiration....and as far as similarities the song "Footprints' *on the sunday of life* kinda sounds like Arriving Somewhere But Not Here....I know its a stretch but its late and I want to make myself happy by thinking I did something clever. Yay me. Ok thats over. -------------

The acoustic riff of "Lost For Words (Pink Floyd, The Division Bell album) is an auto-rip-off of the acoustic riff of Wish You Were Here.

Obviously, a part in Kansas - Song for America is a 100% ripoff of the piano part in Genesis - Firth of Fifth. Also, the mellotron theme that appears quite early in Änglagård - Jordrök is stolen shamelessly from Schicke Führs Fröhling - Pictures. |

See the majority of Dream Theater's work. E.G. = "Home" has traces of Tool's "46&2", Solitary Shell has traces of Yes' "And You And I" keyboard melody, "Panic Attack" has sections that are very, VERY Muse...those are the ones that come straight to mind. |

DT's later 2 rip off alot, I still like it though. Pink Floyd's Final Cut takes alot of music ideas from The Wall, i think it was roger waters running on empty. Home and 46 & 2 riff are very similar but I accociate a bass line sounding like that with sitars and the effects being used, and I have no idea why

I see some similarities between Anathema's song Pulled Under at 2000 Metres a Second from album Natural Disaster and Pink Floyd's Sheep. I mean the way that Vincent Cavanagh sings the lines: "Freedom is only a hallucination That waits at the edge of the places you go when you dream" He do it very similar to Waters singing in line: "Wave upon wave of demented avengers March cheerfully out of obscurity into the dream" I mean, the melody of the vocal, rhythmic and the way he sings. There is also very similar repetition of last word in these two lines. ------------- I know what I like and I like what I know... Prog is in my heart, in my mind, in my soul... |

And once again, Dream Theater was poured by dirt... 
Actually, I don't mind if there are rip-offs or there aren't... I don't think DT is trying to rip off something... Maybe, it's similiar to some of Black Sabbath's and Metallica's riffs - but that's all. DT has their own face, it would be a shame if they really ripped off from classics of rock or metal. But, some of Pendragon's music is not far from Genesis and Yes music. I think, 70's prog simply influence on almost every modern prog-band. ------------- In PROG We Trust |
