[David Harris]

Guilty Gear's soundtrack is not really a rip-off, though, It's specifically a tribute and homage to older hard rock and heavy metal bands. There's a difference.

In music you only have so many notes to work with. The amount of combination of these notes is mathematically limited.

That means, in a way, it is literally impossible to come up with entirely new melodies and progressions, considering that music as we understand it today has been around since the early stages of mankind.

[Xavier Sanchez]

he looks like a big guy

[Leo Thompson]

I don't think you know what a rip off is if these are your examples.

The stage select of MMX1 got ripped in a tekkaman blade music also I think.

[Gabriel Richardson]

Flame Stag's theme is a rip off of Burn from Deep Purple.

[Zachary Richardson]

Blackmore stole the riff from Burn off the piano part of Gershwin's Fascinating Rhythm, as it so happens.

He's generally pretty open about ripping off ideas from other stuff.

yeah sure, if you ignore keys, key changes, time signatures, phrasing and other basic compositional techniques.

[Jose Nguyen]

Literally a rip-off note by note.

There was that dragonball guy that stole all kinds of shit. Not sure what all games he worked on but I know he did Budokai 3 at least. kind of a shame since I loved that game as a kid and stolen or not replacing that soundtrack in the HD version made it borderline unplayable since a huge part of my nostalgia was missing.

He's in deep shit for it aswell.

[Carson Taylor]

All this really shows is that 80s glam metal bands would consistently write really cool songs and then ruin them with garbage lyrics and singing.

[Grayson Reyes]

>ruin songs with lyrics

[Adam Nelson]

Not sure you understand what glam rock was about.

[Daniel Murphy]

>metal music sound the same

[Nolan Morris]

This might come as a shock to you, user, but bad lyrics and poor singing will easily ruin an otherwise good song.

Please explain to me what I'm misunderstanding about glam rock.

[Jason Russell]

>songs ruin lyrics

really makes you think

[Landon Rodriguez]

Always thought it sounded too good even for Blizzard

[Brandon Walker]

Glam rock was about image, first and foremost.

Lyrics were the singers image and indirectly the bands. Singing about making love and women was all part of the show.

You are probably talking about lyrics being "cringy" or some shit since you have actually given examples of bad lyrics

You're confusing glam rock with metal. glam rock is closer to pop music than metal.

[Daniel Brooks]

songs can be made without lyrics
lyrics can't be made without a song

[Landon Bell]

glam rock was pop music at one time in history

(tl. note: pop means popular)

[Alexander Gomez]

[Isaac Gray]

A song by definition has lyrics.

[Jose Robinson]

The Streets of Rage 2 soundtrack borrows heavily from 808 State. More specifically, you can hear a lot lifted from the 808 United State 90 album.

It is kind of well known that Robert Prince was handed this kind of material and told to make the soundtrack emulate it.

[Evan Anderson]

??
enlighten me where the lyrics are in this song
youtube.com/watch?v=VI57QHL6ge0

[Robert Nguyen]

None of this contradicts anything I said lol. There were glam bands that wrote music with great lyrics and singing that elevated the songs, like Queen, Frank Zappa, David Bowie, and Bon Jovi. Then there were bands like Van Halen and The Scorpions and Def Leppard who had unique singing styles that weren't good in an objective sense but still contributed to the identity of the band in a positive way. And then there's shit like Dokken and Skid Row and Alcatraz and Extreme where the singing ruined songs that I feel were otherwise really good and listening to the Guilty Gear soundtrack really highlights that.

[Michael Miller]

anyone have that shitty woman hiphop song that rips off the fairy fountain/menu select theme from Zelda?

I could care less where its lyrics are.

Yes they can, they're just called poems.

[Hudson Mitchell]

poetry is only liked by other poets
