This weekend when I played Temple of Love 12", my girlfriend said that it sounds a lot like Iron Maiden's Fear Of The Dark and I gotta agree that the riffs are a bit similar...

Another friend once said that Type O Negative's song My Girlfriend's Girlfriend is a ripoff from Black Planet. Gotta agree that the riffs are pretty similar....

What do you think ?

You know any other songs which have been possibly inspired by the Sisters ?

Rosetta Stone's entire back catalogue?

A friend of mine played Fear Of The Dark yesterday. Exactly that was I thinking! Fear Of The Dark, AFAIK, was released in 1992. The same year that Ofrah touched Temple Of Love...

Dozens of dodgy goff bands.
Fields of the Nephilim's Laura, heavily "inspired" by Alice. Not a dodgy goff act though.

entire the m*****n
you heard this marian on their first album...

I've noticed the My Girlfriend's Girlfriend/Black Planet bit myself. There's no question Type O are aware of the Sisters, certainly...

There's a ton of goff-metal stuff that's Sisters-inspired. Paradise Lost's "Say Just Words" and Tiamat's "Brighter Than The Sun" come to mind immediately. The Tiamat track is complete an with English-as-a-second-language take on Eldo's lyrical style.

Anyone ever heard "The testicle of god" by Gaye Bykers on acid?

probably but i can'trecall it off the top of my head. is it off of "cancer planet m*****n"?

The whole "Eighties"/"Come as you are" rip off pales in comparison next to the far more blatant "My Girlfriends Girlfriend" one.... still surprised that Eldritch didn't sue; it's basically a cover version of the music from Black Planet, just with different vocals!

And notwithstanding any thing else they've done, The Mish's "Evangeline" was VERY familiar....

Hussey created that whole FLAA sound which he brought from Dead or Alive, so to say that the m*****n's sound was heavily influenced by the sound of the Sisters is without grounds - my god that was polite!!

Maybe, but don't you think it's "bad form" to take a riff you've recorded in a song for one band, and then lift it wholesale for a new song for your new band?

definitely.

heard a few demos of misty circles a while ago (peel session, circa 1982 i seem to recall) and couldnt believe how FALAA the guitar sound were

as for being bad form taking a riff from one band to the next, what about when you run out of ideas 20 years later and just reverse the riff, while still with the same band? see the case of amphetamine logic vs summer

and hey, its a good riff... why re-invent the wheel every time?

"Enter Sandman"

True, true... and then again, the keyboard line of "Giving Ground" is also very close to "Fear of the Dark", yet different from Temple Of Love.

"Radio" by Robbie Williams.

Testicle of God (and it was good) is from the second album, Stewed to the Gills

when I heard first time Maiden's Fear Of The Dark, it reminded me Temple Of Love, the '83 version by the way.

I have to dispute, the comment of 'Rosetta Stones back catalogue'..ok, maybe not then..carry on

Wasteland by the Mishun is obviously Marian, but in a reverse sequence. As told to me by the man himself. But the Iron Maiden FOTD is without doubt lifted from TOL. But whether it's deliberate of just coincidence is up for speculation.

But isn't all music based on plagarisim anyway.?.without Lynryd Skynrd and Iggy Pop we'd have No Sisters, without the Sisters we'd have no Rosetta and without Rosetta we'd have no...oh wait...no one since. Of any substance anyway.

A fuckin big gap on my record and CD shelves.

Do you remember the wee Scouse (IIFC) guy that used to follow "Rosetta Stone", he had a buisness screen printing T-Shirts, ha was on stage singing with the band at his 100th gig?.

I've never actually heard Rosetta Stone.
Are they generic gloomy goth trash? If so, find me an album.

Imagine Walk Away with a weaker bassline and an over-processed guitar sound. And again. And again...

I seem to be taking a hell of a lot of your CD-Rs... the answer of course being "yes :D:D"

Sounds almost like punk.
