  • Another round of plagiarism cases! Now it's songs and riffs that sound very similar to Metallica. So similar that some of these bands (heavy metal and a few non-metal) could've been sued for ripping off Metallica. Namely: Avenged Sevenfold, Iron Maiden, Pantera, Weezer, Sum 41, Megadeth, Rammstein. What's really stealing music and what's not? Let's discuss, and take it easy!

      Exactly! As a fan of both, and a guitar player, Rammstein plays "basic" patterns, but they sound really heavy. Sometimes I find Rammstein songs sounding like other Rammstein songs, and that's no surprise, they tend to keep to their ways. Metallica goes back to basics sometimes too, like Fuel, (the classic 0-3-5), but they have to embellish everything. Rammstein's job is "to make it heavy".

    every other metallica album since the black album had an "unforgiven" on it. Black album: The unforgiven, ReLoad: The Unforgiven 2, Death Magnetic: The Unforgiven 3. The albums in between didn't Load,St.Anger,Hardwired. so if my theory is correct their new album may have an unforgiven on it. maybe it will be called IVgiven

    I wrote a bass solo back in high school for my senior year music exam (I was 18 at the time) that was heavily inspired by Kill ‘Em All-era Metallica, with the main melody of the song being from Anesthesia and the second half being lifted from Cliff’s bass solo in The Four Horsemen (in which I basically took that same melody but played it in 6/8) and I even called the song Cliffhanger in honour of one of my favourite bands and biggest influences on bass. I still remember getting one of the highest grades in the class for it and my teacher really liked how it sounded, I still don’t know if he picked up on the similarities since I don’t actually if he’s even into Metallica but it’s still one of my favourite bass parts that I’ve written and I still hope to record a version of it with my band so I can have it out there as a means to show appreciation for one of the most badass and innovative rock bassists and one of my personal heroes

He was in the band and he contributed, afterwards both can use the instrumentals, simple as that, I don't see a problem.

    The real question is, how much did Metallica "rip off" Megadeth frontman Dave Mustaine, at least regarding their sound on the beginning? Metallica's Four Horsemen is practically the same song as Megadeth's Mechanix, a song Mustaine wrote when he was in the band Panic!, before joining Metallica and which he re-recorded for Megadeth's first album. Before you say it, I know Mustaine receives royalties from a couple of Metallica songs, but I'm more interested in possible influence Mustaine's brief involvement with the band might have had on their sound?

    That "The Unforgiven" and "Mutter" is not a little bit close to being similar, I get that you think that, it sounds similar but it actually isn't. "Orion" and "Spieluhr" are just basic riffs, I bet that almost every rock / metal band just got that riff. "Fuel" and "Fueuer Frei!" are similar, Rammstein's thing is just a bit slower.
