Calpurnia, Caesar’s wife, agrees that the omens point to something rotten in Rome.

📹 they ripped off BAD OMENS and thought nobody would notice…
Just a note: It’s crazy to me when people plagiarize (steal) to go viral and then claim ‘they won’ once exposed. You killed your career before it even started, why do this? what do you get out of it? 48 hours of fame? do better, or go away. 😭😂 UPD: I removed a few seconds of me saying ‘they deleted a comment’ because I realized it could be misinterpreted and not accurate. There’s no need to knock on them more than they already have themselves…
A couple of years back, Thornhill shared a song on their Twitter by a new band called tunnelshine. The song was straight up just a coven rip off, riffs and everything. Unanimously agreed. The tweet was “mom can we have coven by thornhill” “We have coven by thornhill at home” The song was deleted. That song is gone, and theres no trace of that band ever existing lmaooo
The way I CRINGED in utter embarrassment for this “band”. Honestly, I think it’s completely shitty for someone to plagiarize Bad Omens like this, because not only did Noah talk about finding his voice through this album (DOPOM), but he also mentioned how him and the band worked WITHOUT a studio to create most of these songs, since this album was made during lockdown. I think for someone to not understand how much hard work goes into creating something unique and beautiful like the music Noah and the Bad Omens boys create, is plain ridiculous. It probably took this “band” a few days to rip off Miracle, but for Bad Omens, Miracle was one of the hardest songs to create. They’ve admitted that as well. I’m baffled by the audacity of this new band to just take something so easily and then try to defend themselves instead of accepting their mistake and apologizing for what they did.
a good example of taking inspiration is actually bad omens themselves, noah has said the first album was inspired by the big names, mainly oli sykes and chester Bennington, and its obvious in the album mainly with bmth however it is its completely own thing that has allowed them to evolve to their own sound
This is even worse than the disaster area and Holding Absence. For what i saw, The Disaster area offered an explanation, apparently it was because of a third party who helped them write their song “talking to myself”, and copied crooked Melody. The disaster area apologized and deleted the song, they owned up to their mistake. That’s how you handle things like this, or at least it was a hell of a lot better than whatever this is.
Bad Omens is my favourite band and i wouldn’t have minded if they took some inspiration from the song (like similarly how Bad Omens were known to sound like BMTH) but damn that’s just copying home work and changing a few things so that the teacher does not notice, I hope their small band doesn’t get cancelled or anything cause it would suck since they’re just starting and they’re a small band, they just gotta delete the song apologize to the angry fans and move on maybe even try to spin this bad publicity into good publicity to try and get a few fans from this situation. I don’t even think the 2016 Bad Omens fans would be hella mad at this most probably the tik tok fans will try and put this tiny band into the ground.
As difficult as song writing is, especially when starting your very first ep, I would argue it’s actually more effort to copy a song beat for beat. If you’re an actual artist it feels like you’re fighting demons of other inspo or original ideas that’ll keep knocking at the door once you get something started to conform to a pre made template, hence I hate doing covers. These guys must’ve gone out of their way to intentionally do this and the denial is just a joke. I just think if they’re really so unoriginal, then just be a cover band. There’s nothing wrong with being a cover band as long as you’re upfront and honest bout being one.
I mean, it happens more often than people might think. We, artists / composers / music makers can sometimes subconsciously rip off melodies from songs we’ve heard before, without being aware we’re ripping off a song. a lot of chord progressions and production is very repetitive nowadays. I would give them the benefit of a doubt that they maybe (!) did so unintentionally, but when you get pointed out to the source material, don’t pretend you can’t hear it, don’t Vanilla Ice it lol. Pro Tip: Things like that are a lot less likely to happen if you don’t have your instrumentals entirely stitched from Splice samples.
Ooh this has my blood boiling!!! I understand that it’s not easy to write music. I was a classically trained pianist for a long time and actually tried to do it once and ended up with someone else’s song, I just couldn’t do it. The fact that they try to justify what they’ve done by explaining nothing is really offensive. So much goes into an original and they don’t even have the integrity to admit it and apologise. Pathetic.
It’s bizarre how people do things like this… Everyone who’s been in a band will have copied ideas at times – maybe you’d copy the rhythm of the vocals from this song or you like the idea of the verse just having a kick drum or whatever. You use that to create your own song from it. This is just an exact copy/paste job. It’s even weirder in that they’re clearly quite good at producing it… If they created their own stuff, it would probably sound pretty good! They could have released it as a cover instead and I think people would have probably thought it was pretty impressive!
Holy shit the part where he goes over how he made the song but worse is so funny. Yes, we can tell you didn’t literally copy the audio file by how much worse it sounds. It’s still the same composition. It’s like how I don’t sound like Noah when I sing and yet I can’t just sing his song and pretend I made it.
i knew IMEDIATLY that was a Bad Omens song, i heard just the first 10 seconds and was like “nah, thats crazy” i understand making your own rift now and days is difficult, but this is just a copy and paste with a few minor adjustments, its like asking your friend to copy your homework and then changing a few answers, like come on, do better, their other music sounded pretty decent as well
Like even if it was an accident at one point they had to go this sounds familiar lol I’ll play something in the guitar on accident that will sound dope and then i realize I’m just playing something very close to something popular. Sometimes i can’t coin the song but i know it sounds like something else
Well the whole album of Hail to the king, while they were making it, M. Shadows did say the whole album would be a tribute to the bands that inspired them to get into playing music. The people that didn’t know this information prior to them releasing the Album were the ones that were thinking they were ripping off the bands like Metallica!
I was checking out some Foreign Hands stuff because I liked a song and a song came on and I was like….wait a second…this sounds familiar amd then it hit me…..this is a 36 crazyfists song but with a change here and there and with different lyrics just to make it “their song”. Comments on their article for it turned off lol. Still a cool band though.
This was almost as bad as the opening band faking their encore into their backing tracks and the sound guy saying “oh fuck no” lol but in all seriousness there’s been the same 12 notes for all of musics history so theres bound to be similarities. But similarities and and changing a semi tone and pressing is battle they’ll loose 10 times out of 10 times.
You meant This Means War by A7X and yeah. I can’t agree more. Chorus in Masterpiece by Motionless In White is the same as in Never Again by Breaking Benjamin. I mean if you’re getting inspired by bands please don’t copy paste songs. I saw many comments saying ‘Oh you sound like this or that band and I love it!’. Bro it’s not okay to just copy paste another song
I am sorry, but bad omens were “We have Bring Me The Horizon back home”. I mean – “Burning Out”, and “Enough, Enough now”. Bad omens did the same thing these guys are doing. I wonder if the new guys bought the song rights so they can play with it. Maybe they did? You know how many times one song can get reimagined in the pop industry? (The industry Bad Omens are playing in right now) I wonder.
There’s a problem that I have with so many of my favorite bands (and others) that used to sound so different, all started to sound the same just around 2012. They started to include that buzzing bass sound and writing structure to be very very similar. Eventually they all sound like this song along with other similar songs. I don’t like it.
I know I am late to the party but blame the Almighty Algo… I must not have sacrificed enough of the proper viewing time to get this article upon release… but I felt compared to comment, anyway. This could be a blueprint for how to kill your career before it even takes off. Then, for that one dude, Colin or w/e, to condescend so hard in the reply where he “showed the proof”, referring to the folk calling them out as children… it’s got more of an intentional rage bait feel to it at this point. Yeah some engagement will be generated, but for what purpose? I will avoid them like a plague and most of their intended audience that finds out about this, will to. Not even gonna give ’em a view.
This is ridiculous, I’ve sung for three bands in the past. None of people in those bands would never do this. We accidentally made a song similar to a Mudvayne song. It wasn’t copied but it was too similar for us to advance the song any further. So we just abandoned the song entirely. That is the only way to stay true to your work and progress the sound of your band. Don’t steal music, it’s not cool at all.
I thought this was just gonna be something people were trying to make drama out of nothing, but as soon as you played the rip-off, I immediately started singing Miracle in my head 😂 And then when you played them side by side bruh 💀 I cannot believe they were trying to act like it was an original song and not a Bad Omens beat for beat rip-off of Miracle 😂
In some way, that’s how Bad Omens started, the beef with BMTH and the constant comparison with them for making “Sempiternal 2”, let’s take their time until they get their own sound. Eveything except the waveforms looks exactly like Miracle, but well… Let’s see how this band progress with an unique sound in some years 👀
Damn..maybe they’re thinking since they are not a big band and are not in any big studio then they won’t get into such a trouble and bad omens might not even notice them…well copying a good song from a popular metal band is a very bad move considering they didn’t even begin their ”musical” career yet xd. And even lying about it? Even if i for some unknown reason liked their version of the song more than bad omens, i wouldn’t support liars and plagiarists :D. They should have stuck to the covers. At least that’s not stealing and you can basically sing the song however you want as long as you give credit to the authors and probably mention that you don’t OWN the song 😀
So stupid, they do this on purpose just to get views and exposure they will never get otherwise, but its so lazy, dumb and disrespectful to use someone else’s talent and success to try to be famous. And in the end, it will do the exact opposite thing, I will make sure to not hear any other shit this guys made, because that is what they want.
