Copy-cats

Post by I AM ME »

I'm intrested in knowing who many of you people take your writing influences from?

Mine would be Josh Homme (QOTSA), Matthew Good, and Kurt Cobain. To a lesser degree Ryan Dahle (Limblifter/Age of Electric), and Raine Maida (OLP)

"The white dove is gone, the one world has come down hard, so why not share the pain of our problems, when all around are wrong ways, when all around is hurt, i'll roll up in an odd shape and wait, untill the tide has turned.....with anger, i'm dead weight, i'm anchored"- IME, God Rocket (Into the Heart of Las Vegas) ^ Some say this song is about a terrorists thoughts before 911

"Pray for the sheep" Matt Good
"But it's alright, take the world and make it yours again" Matt Good

I felt it in the wind, and i saw it in the sky, i thought it was the end, i thought it was the 4th of July.

how did this get moved from the other forum? It fit there, but anyways


yeah i assume that everyone has their own style, but most people take stuff from their influences, it's why during interviews bands are asked who their influences are

well i'm referring to song writing but anything i guess, otherwise thsi thread will die pretty quick.


I just realized i probably take more from Chris Cornell then Raine, probably because i take from OLD OLP, which seemed to be very Cornell inspired anyways
