haven't you heard of the saying: Good artists borrow. Great artists steal.

You're acting like Metallica hasn't stolen anything in their career...
-
There's also a song in FF7 that always reminds me of "Kashmir" by Led Zeppelin with its note progression.
-
Hahah, I remember saying that this song reminded me of Metallica back in Highschool. I got laughed at.
Now I'm the one with the last laugh. Thank you kind sir.

So do the same rules apply to that A La Turk song?

@SupperTails66 Well, Bobby Prince knew exactly how much eh could rip from others, seeing that he was a lawyer. And really, i didn't mind this because the tracks ended up beautiful. Bobby Prince also noted in an unofficial interview that he liked the tracks and tried to do their melody justice.

it's called inspiration :>

@SupperTails66 Well, he only used what he could without getting in trouble, he was a lawyer after all. Romero knew it, and probably just handed him some of his favorite cds to use.

@SupperTails66 "According to John Romero, as Prince was previously a lawyer, he “knew the legal amount of sampling that he could do without getting into trouble”. " Bobby didn't steal the music, Romero just game him a bunch of his favorite cds and told him to use them.

Oh yeah, I heard about this. I forgot he did Doom too, I was thinking about Commander Keen.
In any case, I always thought he had permission from the original artists to do this.
Bobby Prince?
Tell me more.

@IshidaTheQuincy He did the music for most of id software's games. He basically stole a bunch of riffs from metal songs to make the soundtrack to Doom. There are a bunch of comparison mp3s at doomworld com/linguica/doomcovers/
On a side note, I know some of my other videos just mash up random things that sound slightly similar, but I'm pretty sure Uematsu intentionally lifted this from Metallica. That main riff is virtually identical in both songs, just in a different key.
