Nile riff identical to Creep Show 2

[regodus]

Watched Creep Show 2 last night and noticed that the chorus in the song "Lashed to the Slave Stick" by Nile is identical to the theme song of Creep Show 2. Just thought this was cool....Nile rules!

 

[Thep]

Yeah, uhh....just checked on youtube....it really isn't.

It's pretty widespread nowadays, unfortunately. Veil of Maya ripped off that dude.

Dallas from Nile has stated that this is probably true since he fell asleep watching that, then woke up with the riff in his head.
Karl has also stated similarities with other stuff in his songs, it's subconscious flattery, not plagiarism.

 

[regodus]

That sounds accurate I've done the same thing

I got a neg rep for this - it was a joke!

 

[ridner]

I love Nile

I deem that silly as radicult. I'll rep you back - for greater balance in the universe

 

[NaYoN]

I'm not hearing it at all... Maybe I'm looking at the wrong vid? Can someone point me in the right direction?

Ha that's cool. One of our songs there are two riffs, one of which subsequently we realised the rhythm is stolen from the Sex And The City theme, the other from the music behind Tim Vine's *Pen Behind The Ear* routine. You never know how inspiration may strike!

You're right. Sometimes, it's so neatly packaged that it's hard to resist.

 

[The Beard]

I'm trying really hard but I'm not hearing it

I maybe hear certain melodies that might be kind of similar but it's a hell of a stretch

 

[Remission]

Definitely in with the crowd of "I can see it, but it's one hell of a stretch". Basically the key and some of the root notes line up, but that's about it.

 

[Repner]

Hmm. I'm struggling to hear it as well

 

[Viginez]

identical. hmmm....
