G'day, Bruces

Who in here can tell me which Manson song is a rip-off of which Radiohead
song, besides myself? (I know, if any of you are also Radiohead ng regulars,
that it's just been a topic in there, too, but I found out for myself a long
time ago...)

from the vocal melody second i heard it. not that it's a bad song...but you
know...

There's a bit in Coma White that sounds similar to Paranoid Android, but
it's probably more a tip of the hat to David Bowie's Space Oddity.

"Lamb of God" has a similar melody to "Climbing Up the Walls". Marilyn
Manson is a big fan of Radiohead, so I'm not the least bit surprised.

Coma Black uses pretty much the exact same chords as Coma White, yes.
I presume Manson didn't realise what he had done until he had just about
finished up Coma Black, which he christened thusly when he noticed the
glaring similarities.

Um. Lol. The final track on _Mechancial Animals_ is entitled "Coma White". Does that clue you in?

Oh give me a break....
It was planned that way soon as the music for Coma Black was written,
I would think....and to contrast and relate Holy Wood to Mechanical
Animals...
Yes, it is just my opinion, but it seems to make sense to me.....Coma
Black talks about dark feelings of despair, and Coma White talks
about filling them with drugs and artificial light to deal with the
fact that "this was never my world"....

I heard that rumour and then listened to Climbing the Walls and Lamb of God
and to be honest I really don't see it. The notes are quite different

it's part of the trilogy. there are other recurring lyrical and
musical themes also if you haven't noticed.. study all 3 and you'll
see what i mean

The first time I heard Lamb of God, it reminded me of Climbing up the
walls. The melody of the lyrics.
