The degree of similarity of this to Scary Monsters is really pathetic. It's like you tried to copy the song exactly but just made a few small changes. It's funny your name is "RegisteredTrademark" yet you rip this shit off.
Hey guys, I'm a new dubstep/electronic producer here and I would greatly appreciate it if you checked out my my channel and videos and gave me some feedback! Thanks! :)
I love your tutorial that led me to this song, but I have to say, it's like a huge and obvious rip off of scary monsters and sprites. it sounds great and you have skills, but you should put your own twist on it bro because this has been done :(
ok ok look no denying the guy/girl has some skill but theres also no denying this is a striaght rip off i mean he didnt even try to hide it which is really bad The wobbles themselfs are good its clear that there is talent here but it would be better used creating an origanal song insted of... well this. in anycase good job but try to be more origanal next time
@theSEXYdinos No. This is nowhere near as good as Skrillex. The structure is identical, the beauty isn't even close. Skrillex begets beauty, a ripoff like Hedorah does not.
@Kill0Watt LAWL You call me immature but you come and hate on a video instead of NOT WATCHING IT and then go and like Justin Beiber instead....Im the immature one? HA
@bobthebakedpotatoe Letting Hedorah know its a ripoff means he wont make the next track a ripoff. It's really that simple. If everybody who didn't like something just walked away, nothing would be fixed, ever. If that was too difficult for you: Criticism = Big important part of Youtube commenting. Why the fuck is that immature in the slightest?
@bobthebakedpotatoe Justin Bieber did a cover of one of my favorite Christmas songs, and he did a great job. So I liked the video. And calling me a fag because of that is childish and immature. So yes, yes you are the immature one.
@Kill0Watt Is that really the best excuse you can muster up? Calling something a ripoff is not criticism in the least bit, go suck a nut and learn what criticism is. And yes liking Justin Beiber videos does make you a fag, not a gay fag but someone stupid and annoying that no one likes like Harley Riders
@bobthebakedpotatoe Liking a Justin Beiber video means I like a Justin Beiber video. It means my opinion differs from yours, which is fine and has no relevance to the video were commenting on. You don't have the right to tell me to rot in hell just because my opinions aren't your opinions.
@bobthebakedpotatoe And I think calling something unoriginal (a ripoff) is criticism, because I think criticism is pointing out anything Hedorah can fix. If you think I'm wrong, then tell me what you think is right instead of telling me to suck a nut.
Omfg, guys. Seriously. Nobody bothers to read the descriptions of videos these days. I mean, literally, SERIOUSLY. READ THE FUCKING DESCRIPTION. If you stop talking about Skrillex this and that, and read the fucking description, you'd see that he said he gave this song "a skrillexy vibe." See? He MEANT to do that. So stop talking shit already.
@shadowbattalion1 I read the fucking description. Big difference between a "vibe" and a ripoff. Do not assume somebody is an idiot if you don't agree with what they have to say.
@bobthebakedpotatoe You don't need to argue with me, you just need to know that us "haters" read the description, and bitching about us like were mindlessly talking shit is really just you, being ignorant.
It's very good, better than anything I could ever make, but is an absolute rip off of Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites. Right down to the chopped vocals in the intro.
the fact that this sounds too much like scary monsters and nice sprites makes me not enjoy this song as much which sucks :( because it really is pretty cool.
@RuneScapeVidsAndMore You can use anything you like. Just don't fucking cry to me when your illegally downloaded version of Fruity Loops is unable to keep up with this brutal drop. Fucking amateur.
Nice production, but the charlie the unicorn sample is kinda out of place, maybe a sample of a scream would fit better, especially with the title of the song.
Hey "RegisteredTrademark" I've got Fl Studio 9.0 and its so hard for me to make any kind of bass,beat whatever... and im think of getting myself Logic Pro, what do you think :?
@thewaysh Hey dude i had that exact same problem for a while. Then I got ableton live 8 and Cubase 5. Now im doin good. Thats what i suggest. But you also need to get some VSTi's as well. NI Massive, Vangaurd, Poizone, and z3ta and some of the out there.
@bstep614 hey, cool. I really have a style and all, but i just have problems with starting music production.
Lets connect/chat so you can help me :) i can do great visuals so if you feel like you are helping me without getting anything in return , i can do something for you. :)
1. The bass sounds could have been a bit better if you tweaked them just a bit
2. (I would've liked it better if) The beat changed during after the drop. When it doesn't, it doesn't give off the raving energy that I like to hear in dubstep
@RegisteredTrademark i got a question :) ehmm i use FL Studio now. i making my tracks on that u can check em out if you want but.. is abelten better? :O
