Members Mr_GoodBomb 0 Posted November 16, 2007 Members Share Posted November 16, 2007 I know well of the Last Resort/Ghanghis Khan riff (everywhere I read says it's a riff from Hallowed Be Thy Name, but... it's not?), but I was certain there were a few others. It's bothering me, anyone know? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Members Scott K 0 Posted November 16, 2007 Members Share Posted November 16, 2007 Wow, you can actually name a song by them? I'm sure they aren't the only band to rip off Maiden. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Members Mr_GoodBomb 0 Posted November 16, 2007 Author Members Share Posted November 16, 2007 This one's pretty infuriating. A NWOBHM or power metal band ripping off Iron Maiden in some way is one thing. It's almost like a tribute. A nasty, mind-numbingly bad nu-metal band blatantly ripping off Iron Maiden and using one riff for an entire song is another, and I hear they've done it multiple times.

Members Rindgecore 0 Posted November 16, 2007 Members Share Posted November 16, 2007 You care enough to listen to them and figure out what songs rip off what? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Members Mr_GoodBomb 0 Posted November 16, 2007 Author Members Share Posted November 16, 2007 Nope. That's why I'm asking here instead. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Members danbronson 0 Posted November 16, 2007 Members Share Posted November 16, 2007 You know, I've always felt aside from their singer's constant bitching about his pathetic childhood (and perhaps their terrible name), Papa Roach is a pretty solid band. I bought a used copy of Infest once upon a time and felt it had some great guitar tones and cool riffs. With a different singer and perhaps a little more inspiration, they'd be a really good band.

Members Slim Jim 0 Posted November 16, 2007 Members Share Posted November 16, 2007 They haven't ripped off them enough to make them good. I can tell ya that. Oh yeah, they also ripped off one of the Hannibal movies.. I think it was Red Dragon. "Scars remind us that the past is real" I saw the movie after I heard the song. It made my heart clench with anger. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Members tsunamijesus 1 Posted November 16, 2007 Members Share Posted November 16, 2007 i dont know why but for some reason i like papa roach. maybe because the melodies are so mind numbingly simple that they just grab me. maybe because sometimes you just need something to let your brain rest. maybe its because when i was in 4th grade i loved infest and theyre stuck in my head as being "good" i know theyre technically the opposite of inspiring but they write catchy songs and if you let yourself enjoy it, its plenty enjoyable Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Members NeloAngelo 0 Posted November 17, 2007 Members Share Posted November 17, 2007 they are far from numetal as you can get. what a fucking idiotic closed minded statement. how dumb can you be to bash a band without even hearing them. they are closer to pop punk than nu metal. and this is based off the infest album which is the only one worth a shit.
