Lordi Lyrical References

[Deadly Kid]

In the Not The Nicest Guy:
"I come crawlin', I come crawlin' "

Linkin Park:Crawling

i found only this

[Dezalene]

I seriously doubt that they're referencing Linkin Park there.

Not really lyrical references, but two similiar guitar riffs I've picked up on is the fact that in "Fire in the Hole", there's a similiar riff to the end of Kiss's "Hotter Than Hell." Also, in Pet My Destroyer, there's a quick riff very, VERY similiar to (I think) Twisted Sister's "The Beast".

[Wake Me Up From Dead]

Like, I think the end of 'Bite It Like A Bulldog', sounds like the same as in Accept's 'Midnight Mover'

[Nazgul]

Wake The Snake is just like Wake the Dead by Alice Cooper right?

[Hisha]

Wake the Dead date from 2008, no? From the album Along Came A Spider (I have it )

And the begining sounds like Metallicas Enter Sandman.

Hm.. I don't think so .. . Ok, maybe a bit xD

[MBL]

Not really like Enetr Sandman,but the riff at the begining of both songs sounds a bit similar

[Doomality]

I actually thought "Bite it Like a Bulldog" sounded like the main riff from "God of Thunder" except faster.

Hah! That means that Alice refers to lordi.

Yep. I agree. =)

Linkin Park? I doubt that they would reference them.

[Helter Skelter]

Or,Bite it like a BULLDOG,The Beatles,Hey Bulldog.

[Kzark]

It isn't lyrical, and it might just be a coincidence, but:

Does anyone else think that the opening guitar riff to "Mr. Killjoy" sounds almost exactly like the one from Kansas' "Carry On My Wayward Son"?

motörheads enter sandman MAybe I'm off-topic, but motörhead made the song enter sandman before metallica

Yeah, in fact, a lot of people say that Lordi ripped off Kansas with that riff. It doesn't sound anywhere identical. It's on a higher tone and played maybe a little bit faster or slower, I can't remember since I haven't heard Mr. Killjoy in awhile.

I doubt Lordi ripped off Kansas, but even if they did, why should i really care?

Mr. Killjoy is such an epic song (like 95% of Lordi's music) than I feel obligated to turn my car stereo up to the max and let everyone else at the red light hear it.

In BBTBTR they sing in a part: Metal heart. That is also the name of a Accept song.

[ZeHa]

I once made a similar thread here, but more towards the musical quotes, not the lyrical ones. It can be found here: http://www.bmgfinland.com/lordiforum/vi ... php?t=1326

I think also the whole Blood Red Sandman refers to Freddy Krueger.

[Wake Me Up From Dead]

Not sure about that, MBL
In the first line they also mention/referers to Jack The Ripper - ''They called me the leather apron, they called me smiling Jack''

[MBL]

Yeah, i know that there are parts that refer to Jack The Ripper, but there are also other lines that remind on Freddy.
Like the tittle, Blood Red Sandman, The Sandman is a person who brings you good sleep and dreams, and Freddy kills his victims in their dreams, so there is a little similarity.

And:
"They prayed to the heavens above
That I would never ever come back" - After Freddy was defeated, the people didn't want to see him again.

"Can you hear how the children weep?" - Freddy has to do with this children stuff.
And this is the part that brought me to this idea, "Scream all you want you won't wake up when you scream
No-one leaves... The Monsterican Dream" - well this is clear enough, since Freddy kills the people in their dreams

But i can also be wrong.

P.S. Sorry for my bad english and grammar.

[Wake Me Up From Dead]

You are right in some things there
Maybe they refer to Freddy there.. Could also be Mr. Lordi himself, but don't know.. But probably Freddy.. Hm

And your english is fine

Dragon boots and guillotines

In BBTBTR. Gene Simmons?

Well, he had dragon boots that's for sure
