Periphery Megathread: Everything Periphery

[Lorcan Ward]

Thats the first single off his solo album out in Decemeber.

Not off to a good start.

 

[TomTom8theworld]

wow, nice way to steal periphery riffs/grooves aha. poor misha . like if you cry everytime.

 

[Kroaton]

Man, that riff would sound so much better in Ab....oh wait.

I was also there at Mojoe's. Bummed I couldn't catch up with you dudes again but next time, I suppose! Was fvckin' awesome hearing Insomnia and The Gods Must Be Crazy!

I thought the sound was pretty good though. Not crystal clear perfect, but not bad. I was back by Alex and Jeff for most of the show though, so it would sound better there than right up in front of the speakers or between them.

But yeah, you guys played great! Definitely one of my favorite shows thus far!

I love how bored the keyboard player looks

Also, what if he stole the Icarus riff on purpose to generate publicity for his album release? /tinfoil hat

 

[Lorcan Ward]

I'm really confused how this song got all they way through writing, recording, mixing, mastering, video recording and editing without someone pointing it out. The rest of the song is pretty good and full of original riffs that would have worked great at the start but he still choose to play a variation of a very well known song.

 

[isispelican]

stealing riffs is so damn annoying

You don't know that.

1:40 is pretty much Bombtrack by RATM

 

[shpence]

He is getting destroyed in the Comments section. Attack of the Periphery army! haha

 

[Slunk Dragon]

When even Keith Merrow's chiming in, it's going to be a thrashing.

Does this call for a "Periphery did it first" tee?

He was ripping off misha since last year haha. People just never noticed until now haha.

I love his "About" on facebook:

"How would it have sounded if Joe Satriani had joined Dream Theater?

Before you tear into them too much, let's not forget how big of a helloween fan Misha is

Misha wrote Frak The Gods before that Helloween album was released, so I doubt he ripped them off unless he's a time traveler...

AHA! So then this means Misha went and ripped off future Neal Wakefield as well.

Guys, we got him.

The sound guy at Mojoe's sucks so bad. I feel bad for you guys having to deal with that haha, but the set turned out great! So happy to see Insomnia live... oh yes.

I feel you on this. I wrote the following to my friend after the London concert with Devin and Messugah:

I was pretty disappointed in the Periphery part. They hit the stage around 18.30. And the sound was absolute shit. I've seen them 3 times now, and the sound has been bad twice. The guys in the band famously go direct in; they don't use amps on stage. So it could be that. But the one time they did sound good, they sounded amazing. And that was a Swiss club (with Between the Buried and Me). So I was thinking maybe the PA was really what was at fault. They also hadn't done a proper sound check. So they spent the first 3 songs telling the sound guy what to do in their monitors

For more history, the 2x with bad sound they were in opening slots. At this point I'm fairly convinced they (don't ask who "they" is...the venue, maybe?) don't let openers use the full sound system. It sounds a bit nefarious, but I can't come up with a better idea. Also, I note the one time they were good was a Swiss club. I state that because I find most Swiss venues don't have the best sound systems. And that probably has an effect going direct to the PA.

Can they not sue them or something?

A rapper here in Germany got sued for stealing a part of a Dimmu Borgir song, this seems similar. This is so freaking dumb of this band...

Its still a variation though. Children of Bodom have copied hundreds of licks and riffs from classical composers to modern metal bands but since they wet variations or inspired by then there is no real problem. I was listening to a best of 70s compilation not he radio the other day and I picked out about 20 melodies that MUSE blatantly ripped off. It was shocking.

They would have nothing to gain financially from something like this. Calling him out and having a legion of fans jump on the hate wagon would be justice enough for most people.

What a start to a solo career you've spent years working on

Haha I did not know that. I guess I kinda assumed helloween hasn't released anything recent enough for that.

But he probably is a time traveler.
