JAKARTA - An Austrian guitarist, Simon Eichinger, claims that Moldy Radja has made a fake guitar cover while playing the song Another Day by Dream Theater.

Through his YouTube account, Eichinger said that guitarist Radja had faked the cover by stealing audio from content he had previously created.

"There was an Indonesian playing Another Day by Dream Theater, and there was something odd from the start," said Simon Eichinger.

"I don't think I need to explain why this is called fake playing. The vibrato and many things don't match the audio," he continued.

Then, Eichinger showed a comparison of the cover he made before Moldy made the cover of the song.

"It sounded very familiar, so I rewatched the cover of Another Day that I did, and he really stole my audio," he said.

Eichinger began to wonder when many people defended Moldy, he tried to find out more, until finally he was even more surprised because Radja is very famous in Indonesia.

"When I saw that, I decided to make this video, because I want awareness, because this is not just an influencer or an unknown person. Even when he was famous as a successful musician, he fake played and stole," he said.

"The moral lesson is, don't be like him, don't be as pathetic as him."
