taleyaYes, I am bored. And in my usual bored manner, my mind has turned to various odd thoughts.
Been pondering music this time. Ever noticed that part of the guitar in the start of System of a Down's Chop Suey bears an uncanny resemblance to the song of jiggly puff? Or that parts of the overture to Sweeney Todd is a slowed down version of the vocal chorus in 2 in a room's Wiggle It? Or how Oasis' songs all sound the goddamn same?
Anyone else have any examples? I'm discounting obvious riff thefts like ice, ice baby, or ones closer to works in progress - for example in many X-Japan songs you can hear certain note structures that are inchoate forms of what eventually became the Opus that is Art of Life. It's more the complete "WTF?" moments that make you giggle :D
