He didn't ask to be paid when he was initially asked to join them on stage? Sound like it's his issue, to me. Metallica might not have even been aware of the situation. He was contacted by a representative of the band. A representative of the band asked him to sign the waiver. For all anyone knows, a representative of the band may have come up with the idea for him to join them on stage and they were only told he agreed to do so. That said, I have heard from bands who toured with Metallica claim they were d1cks to them back stage before.
Why wouldn't he negotiate payment before he played? Why would you sign anything without reading it? I never thought a special guest got paid. It makes them money when their catalog starts selling again.
Really? I was a roadie for the band Tesla, one of Metallica’s “friend” bands and one that gave them a toaster-oven and some bologna when Metallica famously slept in the studio they recorded Kill ‘em All in, lol. I always thought they were nice guys but working with people and shaking their hand and hanging out with them for an hour is much different even though I met them a few times. I was a roadie for Tesla in the mid 90’s, a BAD time for bands like Tesla… even though they weren’t technically a “hair-metal, ass-rock” band they “associated” with “those kinds of people” (label made them “glam out” to sell more records) and were killed off by grunge. Tesla later reformed.
Metallica stopped making great music after "And justice for all". The black album was somewhat OK but every other release since then was crap. Metallica is becoming the honorable successor of the Rolling Stones: replaying songs that are at least 40 years old.
Everyone saying he should have known better or he should have been more assertive should realize what the music industry was like in the sixties and seventies especially. Musicians would never rip off another musician back then. Musicians were ripped off by record labels, managers, anyone who could burn them did. Musicians didn’t think it was cool to rip each other off. It still needs to be like that but you hear a lot of stories like this from about the 1990’s and later
@@karsguitarchannel6088 I think he figured he didn’t need an arrangement. A thousand years ago when I was still in a band there were two different times where we had to get someone to fill in for our singer once and our drummer for three gigs. Every time we gave those guys an equal split. Every time we shocked the guys we got to fill in. The guy we got to sing just thought he was doing it to be doing it and the guy we got to play drums just figured we would give him a couple hundred bucks. There’s a right way and a wrong way to treat people.
In the industry for decades and he signs a legal form at a venue occupied in his own words "by a Army", a production and marketing Corporation. In 1993 Metallica was the biggest rock band in the World. He should have made a effort to listen to or at least recognize the success they had achieved and that he was "a child hood idol" and inspiration to at least one of them. Not changing tuning, simple thing for either of them, and noticeably not watching the show, he snubbed them with his disinterest and they did not fight the lawyer part of Metallica on his behalf. Guy makes Ritchie Blackmore seem friendly. He also suffers from a old Irish trait, Trust that things will be done honestly and fairly, he is not one to say "sure, give me Five grand" even as a joke. Seeing how big the production was no doubt salivated his expectations of what honest and fair should be, and inflated what a Pretty Penny was. But he never said he expected to be paid, and in the end did not deserve to be paid. That Pack of Bastards, I can hear A Old Irish man saying that about a young Metallica and being spot on.
Eric should've talked to Metallica and ask them to help him get his royalties. DIAMOND HEAD's Brian Tatler said that when he met Lars Ulrich, Lars asked, 'Are you getting your royalties?'. Then Lars gave Brian his lawyer to contact. He also told Brian to join PRS. So when METALLICA performed it live, then Brian would notice and get a statement and it would say 'live performance.' So he receives money when DIAMOND HEAD songs are performed live.
They probably figured that he got his payment through the royal money he would have received after they revitalized the song. Yeah...the song is considered traditional, thus it is public domaini..but they used his arrangement..so he would have gotten paid. I think I recall the one of the guys from Diamond Head saying that they made more money from royaliies after Metallica covered one of their songs than they earned in their entire career. Those dimes and nickles actually add up if you huge act. Look at Jason Newstead. He only gets performance royalties for the majority of his work in Metallica. He only has 2 or 3 writing credits (where the majority of the money is)...but he is a multi millionaire from just the sliver of the metallica royalities that are his share.
Eric said that he didn't know who they are. If Eric had been receiving royalty checks from Metallica for using his arrangement, he would have known who they are. DIAMOND HEAD's Brian Tatler said that Lars Ulrich helped him get his royalties. Lars gave him a lawyer to contact. He also told Brian to join PRS. So when METALLICA performed it live, then Brian would notice and get a statement and it would say 'live performance.' So he receives money when DIAMOND HEAD songs are performed live. So I think if Eric Bell had asked Lars, he would've helped him get his royalties for 'Whiskey In the Jar'.
They owe him nothing. He could have simply said I’ve never heard of you no thanks but he didn’t. He knows them, has absolutely heard of them and was a deek
Yes you're right. While Phil's last name is commonly pronounced 'Linnet', according to his two daughters “Lie-not” is correct. Most people pronounce it 'Linnet' though. Thank you for correcting
Metallica covers 'Whiskey In The Jar" really well but that version with Eric Bell and Gary Moore from the Phil Lynott tribute show in Dublin in '05 is absolutely the best tho IMO. Those two with their guitars bring that old Thin Lizzy sound back to life again and it just sounds RIGHT!
And as someone mentioned, not only the guitar work but the 'Irish' in those two gents voices is definitely the icing on the cake for this old Irish folk song.
Yes I like that video with Eric Bell and Gary Moore playing Whiskey In the Jar in Dublin in 2005. To be honest I don't like Gary's singing there. Gary doesn't sing but shouts out the words while Eric sings it just beautifully. I think Gary covers the Metallica version and Eric sings it like Phil Lynott. I think you can see in the video that at one point Eric was annoyed with Gary's shouting during the last chorus. But overall that was a great performance.
Is it his ? Its an old Irish folk song. Ask Brian from Diamond Head about Metallica royalties, he admits he's made more money from them covering his songs than his band did.
Yes Brian Tatler says, "It's my biggest source of income. It's great and I don't know what I would do without it. It gives me the freedom to do what I like."
I think it's possible that Eric wasn't into that type of music and he had never listened to Metallica but he should've asked people about them. Yes it's kinda sad. Eric should've got a ton of money for the Thin Lizzy version of 'Whiskey in the Jar' which Metallica covered. I think he didn't feel comfortable to ask for money and in the end he was upset that Metallica guys are so well off and he received nothing.
It’s a pity Eric is being very petty about this. Chances are because Eric never asked for money Metallica thought he didn’t want paying. Everyone knows they are very generous with their $$$. They’re always donating money to charities etc. it actually sounded like a really cool night and experience tbh
Eric should've talked to Metallica and ask them to help him get his royalties. Lars Ulrich helped DIAMOND HEAD's Brian Tatler get his royalties. Lars gave Brian his lawyer to contact.

1) You negotiate the fee when their manager calls you - not when you're sulking in the car on the way home. 2) You don't sign random contracts you can't read. 3) He had heard of Metallica. I don't believe him for a minute. He lived in London and was still involved in the music scene. He only said that to be cool and it backfired because he clearly rubbed them the wrong way when he met them, which is why they were cold towards him. 4) By the time he met them, he had heard of them and had heard their music, because (by is own admission) he was sent a package with cassette tapes in it. 5) It's not his song. Yes, they covered his version but the song is not his.
I'd say if you went through the list of people that lars and james have ripped off , it would be sad , these guys ripped off past members and others. Theyre are the howard stern of music , believe theyre own everything but pay nobody , lars suing a teenage girl for downloading one of their songs on , they're now officially a mixture of kiss and howard stern ..keep ripping off the fans and look up behind the music with dave mustaine , he spoke the truth about lars and james , theyre using the guitar riffs he wrote on their 3rd album and he didnt receive any royalties. Sad to see and hear about bands you like and find out what they're really like .
Yes it's really sad that nobody had told Eric Bell how to deal in the music business. He should have made a ton of money from their version of 'Whiskey in the Jar'. I think that's why he was so upset, because Metallica are making millions and he didn't even get £2,000.
Eric should sue and win, get his music back, and profit from it. Or, just write another hit album and release it on spotify. We don't need labels anymore.
Nothing is free but common sense is not so common and at that level of the game you never sign anything with legal representation, it like donating blood!
Who signs something he cannot read, especially when it has anything to do with the biggest bands in the world covering your song? This is ridiculous and most of it is his fault.
Yeah, it's really sad that nobody had told Eric Bell how to deal in the music business. He should have made a ton of money from their version of 'Whiskey in the Jar'. I think that's why he was so upset, because Metallica are making millions and he didn't even get £2,000.
Eric is my favorite Thin Lizzy guitarist, his guitar lines were so original and interesting!! The Metallica version of Whisky in the Jar is SO BAD!! Corny AF!! Eric should have agreed on a fee prior to playing, he was being a nice guy, but regardless Metallica could certainly afford to give Eric a few thousand!!! Especially since Eric is not rich by any means and Metallica made plenty off of his guitar lines!! LAME!!
I believe they didn't pay him, they have changed from cool metal heads to entitled assholes since the black album when they turned to pop rock, their used to having ass kissers tell them how great they are and probably feel like Bell should have too, since he didn't and never heard of them they didn't pay him, like he should have thanked them for the privilege of being on stage, and when I say them I mean Hetfield & Ulrich, they make 99% of the decisions, Kirk Jason & Rob are just hired hands to them, I miss when Metallica where a thrash metal band and cool people,

Eric sang 'Whiskey In the Jar' just beautifully when he and Gary Moore played it in Dublin, Ireland in 2005
So true. And it sounded better than with every successor.
Metallica tricked him easy.
He counted out his money and it made no pretty penny.
When Eric saw Hetfield and Lars counting their money after the concert, he should've said, "Stand and deliver or the devil he may take ya!" 😂😊
Yeah, sounds like he just needed to be a bit assertive and speak up for himself.
I wonder, if they would pay him 5k, would he be like: Metallica is the best band ever?
He didn't ask to be paid when he was initially asked to join them on stage? Sound like it's his issue, to me.
Metallica might not have even been aware of the situation. He was contacted by a representative of the band. A representative of the band asked him to sign the waiver.

Yeah... Something doesn't sound right. I don't think Eric is being honest.
That song is older than the bible
super dopey if he actually signed a contract that he couldn't read, what a complete idiot
What's the source to back up this story? Why didn't he have a deal finalized on day one? It's Metallica.

Metallica is worth like a billion dollars. It’s hard to believe they would rip this guy off for a few grand. If he isn’t full of shit, he should sue.
Look at the decades long history of non-payments and non-recognition by Sharon and Ozzy.
They screwed over Dave for decades. They're scum, garbage
Is it his ? Its an old Irish folk song. Ask Brian from Diamond Head about Metallica royalties, he admits he's made more money from them covering his songs than his band did.

Metallica would never not pay Lemmy who has been up with them on stage before. NEVER!
He wouldn`t have done it otherwise,he hated that kind of music.
After i listened to whole video i realize how stupid i sound and yes metallica should have paid him for his troubles
They paid him twice 2 million dollars.
Metallica is the band they used to hate so much back in the 80. They became The thing that should not be.
I doubt the band members had anything to do with the neglect of paying Eric. It's a management thing and he's probably too busy to care
Metallica's management is jewish...just saying.
Let's put it that way, Eric didn`t make any money from Thin Lizzy even back in the day.
Diamond Head guys probably bought a few houses with their Metallica Royalties.
The bottom line is, it's Eric's own fault he didn't get paid. Pretending he didn't know Metallica was a bad move 😅
