dude I'd never even heard "elements" before...but i listened to that riff--i see where you came to your conclusion but you failed to notice the similarity with a textures riff from drawing circles...so i guess we both ripped off textures...must not have been too bad though if you didn't even notice.
just like the riff bulb influenced...
at least they got that one right...but hey its a fucking riff---not a song...and its still different...
i don't see anything wrong with taking an idea and doing something new with it...as long as it isn't a copy...
a few coincidences drew you to conclusions that are understandable but unfortunately wrong...

what i did and what bulb thought i did are 2 separate things...that's what this all stems from...my fault--i probably didn't give him that much detail--didn't think 1 riff in one song was really that big of a deal...guess i was wrong...my bad.
so after you think you've got a ripoff on your hands you start picking out other things you think are stolen...and pretentiousness begins...
i doubt this will resolve anything but i've said what i have to say about it.
