Hmmmm. For you music buffs: VINNIE MOORE

[GodOfRhythm]

So I was in the mood for some tasteful shred and busted out Vinnie Moore's Meltdown, which had been collecting dust for quite some time.

then the song Check It Out started playing and in the middle my jaw just dropped to the floor. But not for the reason you might think.

There's a pretty melodic section in the middle and BEAT ME WITH A CATTLEPROD, but I've heard the EXACT same thing in another song by someone else. I'm not talking a 1.5 second lick here, I'm talking an entire section.

Now I'm pretty sure the other song I heard it in was 'newer' than Meltdown, the way I have it in my head, it sounds like a complete rip-off.

The only thing I can't remember is what the other song was where I heard it in too.



Was this song a cover of some sort? If so, I'm ignorant and will go crawl in a ditch somewhere. If Not, help me look for the song!

[GodOfRhythm]

It's pretty much the melodic theme to the entire song

It happens, among other times at:

1m16-1m33
2m06-2m22

Etc...

Not sure, I'll listen to it when I get home since I don't know which song that is from the title.

[Tekky]

Not sure either, however, I noticed the same thing with TNT's "Sapphire". Later it turned out to be a Mozart(?) piece.

I do remember that this tune had some mean riffs... one was kinda similar to Skid Row's "Monkey Buisness" main riff's ending part

[sonicsamurai]

its neoclassical music/....i'm pretty sure a good portion of its copied, just ask yngwie.....

[GryphonGuitar]

I love the way he puts three Bach pieces into his album and then goes "All Music by Yngwie Malmsteen"

[Endrik]

its neoclassical music

nah... that tune is blues based rock with some diatonic melodies... now that I listened to it again.... that melody that GOR mentioned has been used a lot for decades in popular music.... with slight variations of course... a lot of vocal melodies in 60's hippie music... todays r'n'b... whatever... it's a pretty common theme...
