Topic: What is Rob Zombie doing in Castlevania?

[Super Waffle]

After finding some free time from building a trivia list for an obscure Castlevania character nobody cares about, I started playing Harmony of Despair again.  I was on Chapter 5 when I noticed this curiosity:

These are strange times we live in.  Strange, strange times.

I would say Henry is more obscure than Angela..

and Rob Zombie appeared on the cover of CotM

[uzo]

Yes, I do quite like that.

I like how Harmony of Despair Level 5 has some rifts of Rob Zombie's "Superbeast" lol! Great stuff I noticed

Could be sampled, but who knows?
Its time to slice,loop, change the key, and re-play the music.

I noticed that while I was playing it, too. Not sure if I like the idea or not, though. Goes great with Death's drunken chuckling.

You know, I've been trying to figure out where I heard thsi beat before for days now since I downloaded the updated fan rip fo the game. Holy crap. I's just liek the Ys game rippng off Malmsteen's Far Beyond the Sun.

Hear that for yourself.

Not everything HAS to be a rip-off it could have-course just be a coincidence that the same chords are used.
Not saying that it wasn't just saying it is a possibility....

Hehe. It's something friends and I noticed, and I knew some other people online had speculated on a connection as well. It's of course not an exact transcription, but it is very similar. It's also just a short part from both songs, they clearly differ otherwise. I've always wondered if Yngwie was inspiration of if it was just coincidence. It would be a pretty crazy coincidence though, because there's more than just chords that make them similar (I don't actually know if the chords are the same?).
