Things that please me - Part 5

My brother was so pissed he slept through the Foo Fighters when they first toured here.

Are you trying to Monkey Wrench me pal?

I'm going to "break out" and run you over with my "white limo" and "big me" ...
Sounds like an long road to ruin..

 

[PoppedCorn]

some of the riffs are blatant borrowing lol

 

[cats_09]

Regarding shared riffs, I'm pretty sure I've actually got this in my music collection - Oasis with Wonderwall & Greenday with Boulevard of Broken Dreams mashup

ive been smashing Archetype at the gym
love that album, as good as Demanufacture i think even if Dino didnt play on it

i still buy cds and vinyl and refuse to spotify

I'd better give it a spin, geez you've pumped it up, Demanufacture is one of my GOAT albums, first album I liked that had the distorted vocals, game changer.

I watched a sit down with Brian May and Tony lommi and both openly admit they "borrow" bits from other guitarists. Toni was playing Paranoid and Brian joined in. Epic to watch. Pretty common practice i would think. I knew bringing Foo Fighters up on Bigfooty was fraught with danger.

Particularly if you're blues based, it's quite formulaic in some ways and ripping people off is kind of what they all do.

John Frusciante from the Chili Peppers said he came up with the riff for Snow (Hey Oh) when playing around with a Hendrix riff.

I saw a vid of Phil Kollen from Def Leppard, he showed how he got one of their riffs (maybe Pour some Sugar on me) from "every breath you take". They don't sound similar but he showed the changes he made to it, was very interesting.

I've written a few songs, sometimes I think it sounds original until I send to a mate "geez that sounds a lot like Megadeth song" it's something you do unconsciously a lot of the time i reckon.

And it continues, plenty have done it with Metallica as well





That Avenged Sevenfold album was almost a tribute album, there's a Metallica song, a Guns and Roses song, a Dio one

 

[Sinjin Smith]

Ain't Cars super expensive over there.?

Yep. Massively.

However with the MRT and their bus services you'd be insane or incredibly wealthy to own one.

This was back in the day but the Mazda CX7 (not a pile of crap nor a show off vehicle) was over $120k......and that doesn't include taxes and whatever charges the Singapore Gov throw at you....and pretty much every road is tolled.

Pretty sure my brother went there and told me about the cars and how $$$$ they were.

I can't couldn't remember which country it was.

Filled the crisper in the fridge full of beers....
Who needs veggies..

A bunch of us were given 'cake' at Roskilde festival on opening night and all 7 of us have very little memory of the music that night. We caused quite the spectacle at one of the weird live art installations though.

Mustaine wrote most of the riffs on Kill 'em All and a fair chunk on Ride the Lightning. He also claims Battery from MoP was his too.

Otherwise known as “the soggy mud patch behind the Portaloos”.

This song was a big hit in the California clubs when I was there, it should be their state anthem.

Yeah he said Lepper Messiah has a riff in it he wrote too. ( from memory)

Rust in Peace still up there for me as one of the greatest.

Have King for a Day by Faith And Roots by Sepultura on order from my vinyl guy
Getting addicted to the vinyl collecting although they're not cheap
Anywhere from 55 to 80 each

God I flogged KfaD when it came out (CD).

When I moved a couple of years ago I bought some huge CD wallets and put all my CDs into them and threw away the cases, saved two bookshelves' worth of space.

I've got a rack of CDs. But I never play them. They are in that inbetween technology of high quality digital but without the physical experience of a 12 inch vinyl with pages of photos and lyric sheets.

Yesterday a work colleague brought in peaches fresh from his trees. I ate 2 yesterday and am having 2 now.

So sweet and juicy. Thanks Bruno.
