    Edit: One guy flooded these comments with spam, because I might've "stolen" his "video". I am confused what I stole: the songs that actually belong to the bands, or the fact that Children of the Damned reminds The Unforgiven II what we've known for ages, or the arguments that he didn't provide at all? If you're interested, search on RUclips "Metallica rip offs", give the guy some attention he so desparately wants. Congratulations dude!

      If he would make the same about them, the video would be more than 20 hours long. Jimmy Page's next solo album will probably have songs called Smoke on the Water, Holy Diver, and Runnin' with the Devil, all written by Jimmy Page. I have to give some credit them for being one of the best selling bands of all-time without writing any own songs.

    To be fair to Metallica, everyone rips off Black Sabbath. That Fairies Wear Boots riff was also used by Yes. So many bands including Iron Maiden, Led Zeppelin and Deep Purple use Sabbath riffs or variations of them.
    One of Orion's riffs is lifted off Sabbath's Megalomania. Give it Away by RHCP uses the Sweet Leaf riff as an outro. The middle part of Mechanix by Megadeth has a variation of Children of the Grave. Slayer used Into the Void for South of Heaven. Led Zeppelin used Electric Funeral for Ten Years Gone and one of the breaks from Into The Void for Over The Hills And Far Away. Metallica also used a variation of a National Acrobat for Fade to Black and War Pigs for the intro to Master of Puppets. Queen used Wicked World for Son and Daughter and one of Into the Void 's riffs in another song.
    Black Sabbath's music is almost like free real estate. It's so simple yet so powerful that so many bands try to replicate their songs. That's what makes them so influential and timeless

      Not likely, both are really simple arpeggio patterns, and they're not even that similar. Different chord progression altogether, and additionally the Muse song is a keyboard part. They probably didn't even hear each other's songs.

    *Additional note on The Four Horsemen* - The middle Lynard Skynard verse was thrown in because Dave and Cliff would ride together to band practice together. If I am remembering correctly, Cliff would drive his station-wagon and they would listen to Lynard Skynard, Blue Oyster Cult, Black Sabbath, Misfits, all of which were his favorite bands. I think I remember reading this in the Cliff Burton biography or maybe in an interview with Dave in a magazine years ago.

    Slayer - Kill Again (min 1:15 in the song) -> Master Of Puppets Main Riff
    Diamond Head - Am I Evil Intro -> Confusion Intro
    Motörhead - Ace Of Spades Main Riff -> Metal Miltia Verse and Whiplas Main

    • @Kylora2112
      @Kylora2112 4 года назад

      Am I Evil is E5 B5 Bb5 F5 over a pedaled E. Confusion is E C B Bb G Gb F over a pedaled E.
      Kill Again has the same rhythm/feel as MoP, but nowhere close to the sames notes/scale degrees or melodic progression (Kill Again pedals on the low E for 3 notes, and hitting higher E, low E, higher F, low E, higher E, low E, higher F, low E, higher G back to the F...Master of Puppets is all in the same octave and is E-F-B-E-F-C-E-F-Db-E-F-C-E-F-B-B).
      Ace Of Spades is an E pedal under a E E(b5) A chord progression (holding both the low and high E notes), Whiplash is an E pedal under an A Ab G chord progression (with a different pedal rhythm). Metal Militia's verse is going between the A pedal and a higher A, G, E, Eb, and D...in no universe could you ever mistake those. The only thing Metal Militia and Ace Of Spades really have in common are the fact that they use the blues scale (1 b3 4 b5 5, although Metal Militia also uses a b7 to also outline a minor 7th chord along with the 4 and b5).
      You should do a little bit more music theory before you do those comparisons. Feel != sameness.

    The first part of "Anesthesia, Pulling Teeth", is exactly the same as Blue Oyster Cult's "Don't Fear the Ripper" middle solo. "The Call of Ktulu" main riffs are influenced by Bach's prelude in D minor for guitar. And the main riff of Black Sabbath's "Children of the Grave", is also present on "The Four Horsemen" Or "Mechanix". This shit happens a lot. But only giant bands are noticed, when they do it.

    Every time (and I mean EVERY time) one recording artist sues another for "stealing" a song I can find an old classical song with the same chord progression and sometimes I can go back further and find another classical song that sounds like the first one.
    There's only so many notes/octaves/rhythms. The very idea of claiming vibrations through air is so absurd. It's like suing over a haircut or someone using the same words that you like better.

    That part of Master of Puppets isn't even the main riff, or even a big part of the song. It's a small riff in the middle the song that's played for 10 seconds at the end of the guitar solo of a almost 9 minute song, lol. And it naturally flows with the rest of the song that they wrote, so if anything, it's coincidence. That Iron Maiden song sounds nothing like Unforgiven or Fade To Black. Most of your examples are actually chord progressions, which, as you said, can't be copyrighted.

    Ripping people off is taking someone else’s work & passing it off as their own.
    There isn’t much art done that isn’t contrived of various influences.
    The only thing that makes things “original” is combining influences in ways that others might not have.
    The important thing is that people give attribution to those who inspired them or the specific songs/riffs from which the people derived inspiration.
    James refusing to name the band that he “commandeered” a riff from is wrong. Give credit where credit is due.
    Edit: Oh damn! You pulled out some Excel!
