Title: Night Goat / The Bit
Post by: The Bloated Pope on September 01, 2016, 03:31:43 PM
Hi,

definetely not the greatest topic ever but recently, while listening some Atlantic Records, it kinda catch me that theses 2 awesome songs are very very much similar
I mean,in the construction of the song, the repetitive loop of bass for the Goat and guitar for the Bit, like a red line, the epic conclusion, the building of the lyrics... 
So now I like to imagine the fact that they did it in purpose, considered the very less time between the albums and basically the fact that I can"t really remember such similarities between two songs in their all discography (Yeah I know there is History of  Bad Men, and The Man with the laughing hand also, but that doesn't really count..)

(btw I'm french so sorry for my english and for many other things)

Never found the two to be especially similar and I've probably listened to each over a hundred times.

Buzz is an admitted recycler of riffs. Welcome back, Bloated Pope.

In fact there is a riff on the Bloated Pope (during the breakdown) which is very similar to another song I'm completely spacing on at the moment....Meezer help a brother out :)

I think you're referring to the one minute mark of Suicide In Progress

I listened to the Bloated Pope this morning and thought the bass breakdown sounded a bit like the Bootlicker stuff, but couldn't quite think of what it reminded me of. Suicide In Progress sounds like a good match.
