also theory of a deadman sounds nothing like nickelback. nickelback is fucking pussy music. i respect them because they got me into rock and started my interest to be the metal lover i am now but i would never listen to them now.TOAD however is a great band

@PureHardRock910 Dude... if you think Nickelback and TOAD is metal... you don't know what metal is. Go listen to some Megadeth, or some Iron Maiden, or some fricken Times of Grace. You have no idea what metal is.

They aren't even close! And Theory is NOT unoriginal. They are an amazing band. I agree with RookieRae, there are a lot of similar songs out there. This video was just made by some asshole who has nothing better to do in his life than piss people off. I have been a Theory of a Deadman ever since their first album, and I can tell you that they are definitely original. So stop leaving hate comments about them, you're wasting your time.

Not even close? Are you HIGH? Its almost dead on. Look up the guitar tab if you don't believe me.

Theory is DEFINATLY Unoriginal. There is nothing new about their band. If I cared enough to listen to their other songs I could probably find some more riffs.

omg this happened with avril to, sure its a little similar but then again so many songs out there to theres only so many riffs that can be done, personally i believe they didnt rip it off their so awesome they dont need to:)TOAD ROCKS<3

[SuperiorAssassin]

... Wow, Avril sucks a ratts asshole. I was not a fan of TOAD because the sounded like everything else on the radio.

But if you like Avril, you like poppy shitty music so your opinion does not matter.

I noticed this the first time I heard Bad Girlfriend -_-

People who support this band also support blatant plagiarism.

[JoeyDrunko]

Yeah, as soon as I heard that song I was like "RIPOFF!"

[xyberelite]

I agree sounds like Theory totally ripped off the riff and then tweaked it just so slightly at the end of the riff to make it "different" so they could say they didnt rip it off.

I looked this up because I had the same suspicion of the song and someone had already made a comparison video lol.

@grunge10111 LOLOLOLOLOLOL dead on

I used to be a TOAD fan, but not anymore. I liked their first two albums, and as far as I know they didn't rip anyone off on those ones (feel free to correct me if I'm wrong about that) but when I heard songs off their last two albums and realized they stole other bands riffs/lyrics I got really pissed off. Listen to 'The Bitch came back' off their new album, they stole the entire chorus of 'The Cat came back' with the exception of one word. Check it out for yourself, you'll see what I mean.

@PureHardRock910 Bands don't just 'accidentally' think of the exact same riffs in the exact same style with the exact same pentameter. There are 40 million examples of this kind of riff-ripping in music over many years.

[kazmotchikun]

HAHA, caught it almost immediately. Its dead on similiar.

[PureHardRock910]

@SuperiorAssassin i never said they were metal especially read my comment i clearly said "Nickelback is FUCKING PUSSY music" and i know TOAD isnt metal. Iron Maiden sucks ass and who the hell is Times of Grace
