They sound very familiar, but then again it's not a very creative opening. A fifth grader with a basic understanding of music could create this in about ten minutes. Honestly, I'm guessing this wouldn't even be an issue if Roger Waters didn't have such a giant ego.

well he sure did ... then again who gives a rats ass about whats his name weber

oh my god, two riffs that sound vaguely similar!

@MetalStorm96 shut up!!!!
-
he absolutely did not.

@KilldozerRocks - Life was too long to long to bother suing Andrew fucking Lloyd Webber but he certainly didn't think this way when he sued his best mate for the rights to the name Pink Floyd, which he ended up loosing anyway. Was that really worth it roger??.

Goddamn right he did.

@dannyboy10721 Couldn't agree more.

@dannyboy10721 what are you even chatting?
@Phantomofthenight117
Echoes: 1971
Phantom of the Opera: 1986
Roger Waters (of Pink Floyd) had this to say:
"Yeah, the beginning of that bloody Phantom song is from 'Echoes' *DAAAA-da-da-da-da-da!* I couldn't believe it when I heard it. It's the same time signature - it's 12/8 - and it's the same structure and it's the same notes and it's the same everything. Bastard. It probably is actionable. It really is! But I think that life's too long to bother with suing Andrew fucking Lloyd Webber."
