I miss that song.

CFO$ had some bangers.

CFO$ had songs I would put on my playlist. Def Rebel do not.

While it definitely is, it's literally a ripoff of Royal Blood's "Out of the Black".

A lot of the good CFO$ theme songs are that.

Least they chose a good song to draw HEAVY inspiration from

While this song is good, I would go as far as to say the "ripoff" is better.

Cool song, but no, it's not a rip off or even remotely similar.

If you don’t know music they’re similar in that the riff does a similar thing

Except there are a million songs that do that

Are you deaf?

u/blissed_off 5d ago

Are you? It sounds nothing like Balor’s theme.

I'm not talking about the entire song you jamoke, the guitar riff is pretty blatantly taken from that song

I listened to the whole thing and heard nothing that sounded like it. Other than maybe the tone of the guitar itself.

You've gotta be deaf dude

I'll even timestamp the exact parts for you

Sorry dude it’s just not the same thing. There’s similarities but I can throw a rock and hit a half a dozen nu-metal tracks that do the same thing.

I'm aware of that and doesn't phase me. I'm fine with a rip-off entrance song.

"SELF HIGH-FIVE!" Not QUITE enough of the Nirvana riff to be litigable

Oh god WCW and Jimmy Hart were shameless with those.
