Why does it seem that the internet is against so much of popular music? Sure, you could do better than Linkin Park, but we're only bothered because they're always on the radio and are so popular. Can you imagine how many bands sound like these guys...and didn't get signed? Heck, I bet Linkin Park inspired a few of them themselves.
People are missing the point (and the site creator in a way). It's not about stealing it's about applying the same dub formula in every way, and changing the tempo really doesn't mean anything, as obviously you're not gonna have 2 songs of the exact same length, but the concept is that they have to same kind of parts in every single song at proportionally the same time for the same duration.
I hate it when people say that Linkin Park uses "formulas" to make their songs, like "First you have the one guy singing, and then a guy rapping followed by more singing, and then screaming!" I could pull up a list of any band and go, "Oh, first you have the verse followed by the chorus, and then another verse!"
I should post a bit more explanation of what I mean before I get flamed to hell and back. With the Nickelback match up, not only were chord progressions similar, but the beat matched up a whole lot better, as did the lyrics. For instance, you could sing one line of one song, then switch to the other song and sing a line. With this Linkin Park YTMND, the chorus, bridge, and verse all line up, but the pitch is way off (It hurt my brain to listen to this YTMND), and the lyrics don't match up to the point where
That's partly true, Chester was mentioned to the band by Warner but he had to go in and audition just like everyone else. The rest of the band all knew each other back from Xero, when Mark Wakefield was still the lead singer. Also, they didn't make a remix album after Minutes To Midnight, although performing collaborations on other artists' albums (Young Buck, Busta Rhymes). There most likely won't be a remix album since they've stated they're gonna start recording the new album after PR 08 of this year.
Artists (Mostly rap artist) rehash or retool beats from previous songs and put new lyrics on them. I noticed you needed to speed up Pushing Me Away, and slow down Numb, just to make them sync properly. Yes, they are very similar almost to the point of being identical, but that doesn't mean you can't make a song sound different by layering old and new beats with new lyrics to make a new sound. While this was pretty perceptive, I don't feel like there's too much to read into here.
if you honestly believe that most music played today is not stolen from you are sadly mistaken. There's something in music called chord progressions. Most songs are made of chord progressions in fours. Therefore, it's really hard these days to make a new and original chord progression that sounds nice. If you don't believe me then listen to these songs and tell me if they don't sound similar: Wonderwall, Mad World, Dream On, Boulevard of Broken Dreams. Also Pachelbel's Canon rant anyone?
