Oh by the way a band which REALLY gets my goat is one called Trivium. They rip off Metallica, Megadeth, Judas Priest and Iron Maiden so much I can't believe it. They actually supported iron maiden in 2006 (god knows why) and the copied riffs and solos were just unbelievable. Worst thing is they act like they've been around for decades when in reality it's only about 4 or 5 years.

Proper bands have integrity and are only media-seeking in the way of producing records for their fans.

Chris, i must admit, Trivium, from a musicians point of view, are awesome. I never listened to them when they first came to be known, even though i "aquired" their album. But started listenign to them recently and they are really good.

Are you having a laugh? Yes their guitar work is great but it's blatently ripped off from other, more successful bands. You can usually tell a lot about a metal band from the kind of crowd they attract. When we saw them live the only people giving a toss were a group of 12 year old kids down at the front in a moshpit. Everyone else was rolling their eyes because they know what a Matt Heafy is and how unhealthily he idolises James Hetfield.

Chris, one thing though, if bands didnt take inspiration/influences from other bands, or idolise them in similar ways, then there would be no bands/genres etc. Bands like Greenday (i hate them) but they inspire new bands.

I know what your saying, its annoying when 12 year olds are "moshing". I went and saw Blink182 in 2004 at their last ever UK show, and there were 12 year olds "moshing" to the song "i miss you"!!!!!

I know what you mean, obviously a band can't possibly survive without inspiration but Trivium really do just rip off other bands! You like em, that's fine, no problem but seriously do you realise how much they're ripping off other bands? Maiden took influence from Sabbath and other very early rock/metal like deep purple but they sound nothing like them because they have enough talent to create their own "sound" - Trivium don't. Anyone can learn to play songs after a few years of practice but it takes a real musician to *create* music from basically nothing. I respect your opinion though but seriously Trivium will not be around in 10 years let alone 30!

[Pie]

The only problem being there is no new genres available to create. I think the last genre to be introduced was probably "electro-metal-pop" what not by a band you probably hate, "Enter Shikari"

[yorkshirechris]

I don't like them no. You don't have to create a new genre to create good, talented music that doesn't rip off other bands and that is popular.

[mini_surfari]

All there is round my way is BL**DY chavs, and anybody with long or kind of lond hair is a greebo to them, they try and beat them up and fail missurably. And round here a greebo is the a step down from an emo, they dress the same but dont cut there wrists.

i am your worse nightmare.... i have every metallica album but i bought leona lewis's new album the other day...
most music has been done before. whats the harm in liking something thats been done before?

[yorkshirechris]

No harm in it at all, personally I can't stand bands who rip off other band's music which THEY created off their own back and then make money out of it and have gullible people buying their music. It's unfair and it's pathetic in my opinion.
