Chris, that's the perfect example of the pointless poll

They sound the same
YES
NO

I don't say that the subject of your thread is not interesting there was no need to create a poll to discuss about this.

Geoff

Geoff...there have been many more pointless polls...how come you never say anything to other forum members? i thought this one was good

The more and more i hear OM..the more i notice. The main intro riff in night is a key lower, and a bit faster than the melody in the Death of Music.

KRIS

I noticed this as well. But who cares...cool songs anyway..

yeah it was good like the one about hairs colors ...

did anyone notice that the chords in the bridge section of "Detox" are the same chords in the main riff of "Hide Nowhere"? They're just faster in HN while they're sat on for a while in "Detox"...

Yes! I've thought that for years! I also like the way he recycles lyrics/lyrical themes - not just the infamous "3 am", but other, subtler ones, too - like how "Mora" turns up in Critic, on HAARHT, and Canada (I think) , on Terria. Samples as well, like the one from Centipede and Night ("...through medical research and education, education...").

Perhaps we should start an online database of Devin's personal musical "memes"! Or would that be just TOO trainspotterish? )

Nothing is too Trainspotterish for a Devy fanboy. Especially me!

Interesting, I must say I never really noticed any of this until today. It seems like the same ideas come up when hes writing a song and he uses it anyway even though something similer was already in a song, and theres nothing wrong with that . Just for note I like the poll here, its interesting to see how many people think what.

Glad to hear it! The Dev certainly doesn't seem to attract the 'casual' sort of fan - but then, 'fan' is just short for 'fanatic', so I suppose 'casual fan' is oxymoronic. Or mebbe just moronic. OK, I'm wibbling now...

hey, next thing you gonna be telling me, that he is playing only ONE song, but in different ways/tempos

afaik, there is a finite number of ways in which you can play a song. a SONG, not a chain of sounds

and there is something called STYLE, as well...

AC/DC got a certain style, and it's really evident (compare that with TOOL - not hard to recognize a TOOL song, but try telling me that it's simple and repetitive, and I'll laugh my head off...)

I never actually noticed it until you mentioned that, just then. damn, your perceptive

Hehe...Adrian...i just noticed this post for the first time since it went up.....perceptive indeed But ur just the same man

I found another one recently, maybe it has been posted somewhere:

I Am - chorus (1st one is at 2:50)
Funeral - starts at around 4:57

NICE ONE MAN

A little off topic but Van Halen's Jump features a riff in the background right at the end of the song. About eight years later, Eddie wrote another track called 'Top of the World' using this very same riff.

It's always fun to pick up that sort of stuff.

Incidentally - greatest rip-off of a riff? Hunters and Collectors 'Holy Grail' is a blatant rip-off of Boston 'More than a Feeling'.

You guys are missing the real similarity here:

"Nobody's Here" and "Things Beyond Things". They're practically the same song, which is probably why I don't like "Nobody's Here" as much as the rest of the album.

care to explain a bit further? i cant see any similarities between these 2 songs?
