Once again, another rant on how much I cannot stand the “band”
that is Blood on the Dance Floor. This will be short.
A little over a year ago, I discovered the amazing band
called Skillet. I instantly fell in love with the band and even saw them live
about a month ago (Best concert I ever attended). Skillet is a four piece band with vocalist
and bassist John Cooper, rhythm guitarist/keyboardist Korey Cooper, guitarist
Seth Morrison and drummer and back up vocalist Jen Ledger. They are an amazing band
and despite having a lot of lineup changes have been able to maintain their fan
base and still make amazing music. They recently released an album titled Rise, are signed to Atlantic Records,
have four popular albums, Collide, Comatose, Awake, and Rise, and were
on the Carnival of Madness tour with Papa Roach, In This Moment, We As Human
and Shinedown. Although labeled “Christian Rock,” Skillet is more of an “Uplifting
Rock,” and “Positive Rock,” and don’t tell you to praise Jesus and God every two
seconds. Instead they just have a positive message and positive songs that talk
about positive topics such as rise above hate, you are not alone in this world,
you are loved, etc. Now, this isn’t me just talking about how amazing the band
Skillet it (which it is pretty amazing). This is me ranting on another thing
Blood on the Dance Floor has done.
Off the album Comatose is an amazing song titled “The Last
Night.” The Last Night talked about a girl who has a hard life and is a self-harmer.
Opening up with the line “you come to me with scars on your wrist/you tell me
this will be the last night feeling like this” the song goes into saying “this
is the last night you’ll spend alone/look me in the eyes so I know you know/I’m
everywhere you want me to be/the last night you’ll spend alone/I’ll wrap you in
my arms and I won’t let go/I’m everything you need me to be” This is my
favorite Skillet song. It is no secret I used to have a self-harm problem, so
this song hits home, and is beautiful.
The beginning of the song is an instrumental piano before
going into the more lairs of cello and violin Skillet is known to add (while
still sounding like a kick ass rock band). Since I listen to this song every
day, I know it pretty well. I logged into Facebook one day and noticed a page I
follow, (either Blood on the Dance Floor is the Diarrhea of Music or I Hate
Blood On The Dance Floor) posted something about them ripping off Skillet, so I
read their entire post, and then quickly listened to the beginning of their
song “Something Grimm.” The beginning sounds just like “The Last Night.” That pist
me off. First they have had issues with plagiarism before by stealing lyrics
from an Otep song, but as a huge Panhead (yes, we Skillet fans are called
Panheads) it made me hate them even more. (I know in a previous blog I mention
how “Monster” by Skillet sounds just like Three Days Grace’s “Animal I Have
Become, so I am not looking the other way when it comes to that) I really hope
Skillet will find out that BOTDF stole from them and sue, but just like the guy
running the Anti BOTDF Facebook page stated, all they would get is hairspray,
hair dye and crappy face makeup, and knowing Skillet as being a Christian
group, they would take the high road and not sue, and maybe just tell him to
not ever do that again before offering to take him to church or something (and
hopefully John and Korey would know not to let him around their two kids,
because Dahvie is a pedophile and rapist after all)
So Jackass Dahvie and sidekick Jayy, grow some balls, admit
to copying someone’s music, whether it’s Otep’s lyrics or Skillet’s melody (I nearly
failed Music Lab, so I have no idea what terms are what in music except basics
like beat, rhythm, chord, and note.) and then write your own stuff. Stop being
a plagiarizing jackass and at least attempt to be original (although you have
failed at it so far) Stop copying others work and maybe get a haircut while you’re
at it. You need one. Seriously. And maybe do something with that muck on your
face.
Don’t think they are similar? Listen below.
also, here is a video of a guy from Youtube proving that Blood on the Dance Floor stole the melody. Video is by OfficialGATG
