I just heard Money for Nothing for the first time in awhile and it sounded really similar; I wonder if it does to you all also

Listening in the 80s, no, they are two completely distinct songs.

Listening today, sure, both have an ethereal intro.

Now that you mention it...

No, not really. It had never occurred to me before, and as I hear them in my head right now, they're just not that similar.

But that's me.

Not directly, but it does carry a similar vibe.

I would say SOYCD intro is more similar to the intro of Dream Theater - Octavarium. Shouldn't be surprising because the former was part of the inspiration for the latter.

Thanks for the recommendation

Be sure to reserve enough time

The guitar intro to Money for Nothing is reminding me of the guitar intro to Welcome to the Machine

I heard Money For Nothing earlier and more often, so it's the other way round for me.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
