Doom riff ripoffs

[Virtue]

This has been done before but Ive included EVERY single ripoff, man Bobby Prince really did sample a lot of music!

Nice. I'd heard most, but not all, of these comparisons before. There is, perhaps, a little wiggle room with some of them but most are undeniable. Is it really a rip off if he uses one of his own tracks as a base though?

[Virtue]

true, the wolf one is a remake

What do you use to make the Doom music sound like that? They don't sound like that when I play.

Quick corrections. MAP04 is "The Focus". MAP03 is "The Gauntlet".
Then MAP25 is "Bloodfalls". MAP26 is "Abandoned Mines".

Some are fairly obvious to how they influenced Mr. Prince, like Pantera's "This Love" with "Waiting For Romero..." Others I don't see it as much.

Obviously he didn't do a blatant ripoff of most of them, but instead used them as a base melody, and sped/slowed it up/down.

Map20's music is "Message for the Arch-Vile".

Also, long before I went on the Internet and discovered all the work that had been done to trace Prince's music back to its inspirations; I always thought that the secondary riff in "Deep into the Code" (starting 5:37 in the vid) was slowed down from the main riff in "At Doom's Gate". Might explain why some people people hear "Behind the Crooked Cross" in E1M1's music.

well its a common riff, but it was most likely inspired by metallica, since BTCC was used for Deep in the Code

I vaguely recall someone connected to Doom's development (Romero?) saying that Prince had a previous career as a lawyer, so when Id asked him to basically cover a bunch of metal songs, he knew exactly how much he could get away with.

I always thought that E1M1 sounded more like the opening riff to Painkiller than No Remorse, but a combination of the two makes the most sense.
