Ripping Off IN FLAMES & SLIPKNOT ? Totally Shocked…

Imagine that you’re an ex 80s rock star, living in California and now a famous producer.You know that you can’t entertain the audience as the old school way because hair bands are not the Billboard heat seekers anymore and you can’t go out on the road anymore because your hair are past (“Hair today, bald tomorrow”), you’rE getting fat and the old illegal habits have turned you into a crap. The best way to earn money in order to pay the bills, is create a band that mixs the top trends of today HIP HOP & NU ROCK.


So you gather a bunch of wannabe guys, baptise them HOLLYWOOD UNDEAD (yes, you can’t escape the Sunset Boulevard band name cliches ) and decide to write music for their debut. But now what? You have grown up with the Guns N Roses sound and it’s hard for you to compose fresh music…

So let’s ripp off bands such as Limp Bizkit & In Flames…It’s not as hard as you think.
You don’t believe me? So lishen the opening track from the new band HOLLYWOOD UNDEAD :

“Wanna be In Flames “Sound
HOLLYWOOD UNDEAD – Undead


Now you believe me? So, prepared for a second shock…Hey, what if I make the band look like Slipknot a famous nu rock band? It’s not a bad idea…
