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.

XMD 6145 yeah because sounding the seventh trumpet, waking the fallen, city of evil, avenged sevenfold, nightmare, and the stage all sound like Metallica when they’re all more complex than any Metallica song ever.

It's funny, beacuse Bad Seed's main riff sound exacly like Kyuss's "Big Bikes" ;) What's more funny - in the same song also appears riff that's quite similiar to Enter Sandman
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
You missed the part where Cliff reworked a J.S. Bach "riff" (the chord progression from Come, Sweet Death [BWV 478]) into the intro to Damage Inc... (and you should totally listen to the Bach piece anyways because it's epic...)
I remember dropping my jaw when I listened to Slayer’s Repentless. The main riff was so similar to one of my riffs. But when I became more knowledgeable about song writing, I came to the conclusion that it was just a common as hell 5 7 8 progression with melodeath style picking.
The thing is, it's not stealing. It's inspiration. There is (normally) 6 strings and max 24 frets. You can only do so much until riffs and different progressions start sounding the same.
Not a riff, but the iconic double bass drum pattern from One was already played by Gene Hoglan in the intro to Dark Angel's Darkness Descends from 1986 (two years before Justice)
Andriy em' all Ride the Andriy (wait what?) Master Of Andriy ...And Justice for Andriy The Andriy Album Andriy ReAndriy St. Andriy Andriy Magnetic Hardwired... To Self-Andriy
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.
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.
This is like saying Du hast and Links 2 3 4 by Rammstein is ripping off Just One Fix and Jesus Built My Hotrod by Ministry. Rammstein was heavily influenced by Ministry. Metallica was influenced by these bands and for ones after Metallica’s debut bands they like.
*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.
Iron Maiden - Another Life intro is very similar to Motorbreath intro. Slayer - Metal Storm/Face The Slayer intro is also similar to Creeping Death intro
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
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.
Great video frrrriend as always.Thank you for the effort that you put to give as such a good content. I just noticed a small mistake that may have happened by accident at 9:16 the Enter Sadman riff in the low E string must be 6-5 instead of 7-6 I think
Bruh, I wasn't even surprised when the Four Horsemen was on this list, do I even have to explain? When I first listened to the song I was like "why does that sound so familiar?"
The whole music industry is people copying shit from other people. I was told that 22 years ago by my guitar teacher and it's true. It happens both consciously and subconsciously.
I always thought that the "Interlude solo" from Master of Puppets was inspired by Phantom of the opera by Iron Maiden, in that song there is a part that uses the same arpeggios in the same frets Go listen to Phantom of the opera at the minute 3:26
It's been 23 years and I've never seen anyone mention it in any way, so screw it. I'm just going to say it. The main riff of King Nothing is a direct ripoff of the verse riff in Spinal Tap's "Sex Farm". It's the exact same riff, just played lower.
Four horsemen was also inspired by Kiss "Detroit Rock City" and UFO "Doctor Doctor" Drums on Jump in the Fire are the same as Iron Maiden "Run to the Hills" And I've always felt that the main riff in For Whom the Bell Tolls came from Diamond Head "Am I Evil"
Wow! That's like the millions of songs with that generic rock beat, they must all be ripping Each other off LMAO, drums are the hardest instrument to find "original" ideas on, it's all been done and what's left undone sounds like shit
@@LunaKai01 Lars used Stewart Copeland's drum beat from Synchronicity I in Master Of Puppets. And sure, there's a limit to how many feasible drum patterns there are, but One uses that 16th run + quarter note pattern from Darkness Descends as the basis for the entire finale of the song.
I don’t technically see it as stealing or ripping off, yea they might have gotten influence but who hasn’t? I see it as a memory quilt, all sown in from different songs/chords/sounds they like & using it in their own way for a short period in their song, making the song a big old blanket with different pieces of cloth. That’s what makes it unique.
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.
this Excel is more like Wherever I May Roam and The House Jack Built main riff it's Suicyco Muthafucka by Suicidal Tendencies and Twist of Chain by Danzig it's Thorn Within and bridge of Eye of the Beholder sounds like Iron Maiden's The Trooper and Symptom of the Universe - Sabbath (also Beethoven's V Symphony) it's Creeping Death and intro to The Unforgiven it's Ennio Morricone's The Good, The Bad and The Ugly and The Memory Remains it's Sabbath Bloody Sabbath and Children of the Grave (also Sabbath) it's verse of The Four Horsemen and Seek & Destroy it's Paranoid and Bleeding Me sounds like Crystal Light by UFO and This Was Just Your Life middle riff sounds like The Boys Are Back in Town by Thin Lizzy and middle part of The Day That Never Comes it sounds like middle part of Am I Evil? by Diamond Head and intro sounds like Astronomy by Blue Oyster Cult and also like Astronomy sounds The Unforgiven 3 and Shoot Me Again some parts sounds like Slipknot's - Spit It Out and My Apocalypse, Hardwired, Spit Out the Bone and some parts of St. Anger album sounds like Slayer and No Leaf Clover sounds like Don't Speak by No Doubt ;]
I think that we know as musicians that it is extremely easy to come up with a riff that we think is awesome and original only to find out later that someone else already created it, and that likely we were just inspired by it. For example, take the Beatles song: I want you ( She's so heavy) and play so variations on the intro then consider that it very likely inspired Mama Said. This happened to me a few days ago, I heard the Beatles song and then instantly thought, this was Jame's inspiration for Mama Said. Hint, if you don't play guitar, you will probably not hear the correlation. One last thing Andy, you think The End of the Line sucks? That is disappointing to hear.

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.

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

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).

Bruh, I wasn't even surprised when the Four Horsemen was on this list, do I even have to explain? When I first listened to the song I was like "why does that sound so familiar?"
The whole music industry is people copying shit from other people. I was told that 22 years ago by my guitar teacher and it's true. It happens both consciously and subconsciously.
Very true. I learned that early on. I mean there's only 12 notes
The End Of The Line is fire!
Yeah things that are stolen are often referred to as hot
Pearl jam laughed on metallica
I've always heard the similarities between "Electric Funeral" by black sabbath and Lepper Messiah in main riffs
You're right! Also Ozzy's singing in this song is similar to another riff in Leper Messiah
Man, to be honest, you will hear Black Sabbath in pretty much 80 % of every metal that is being made since the late 70's.
I always thought that the "Interlude solo" from Master of Puppets was inspired by Phantom of the opera by Iron Maiden, in that song there is a part that uses the same arpeggios in the same frets
Go listen to Phantom of the opera at the minute 3:26
9:52 - I heard Murder One on that one.
National acrobatic Black Sabbath
Fade to black Metallica
It's been 23 years and I've never seen anyone mention it in any way, so screw it. I'm just going to say it.
The main riff of King Nothing is a direct ripoff of the verse riff in Spinal Tap's "Sex Farm". It's the exact same riff, just played lower.
at 7:40 i saw Venom but in my head i was listening to Prodigy
honestly the only one I’ve ever heard myself was Unforgiven 2 sounding like Iron Maiden’s Children of the Damned.
Four horsemen was also inspired by Kiss "Detroit Rock City" and UFO "Doctor Doctor"
Drums on Jump in the Fire are the same as Iron Maiden "Run to the Hills"
And I've always felt that the main riff in For Whom the Bell Tolls came from Diamond Head "Am I Evil"
Metallica stole Liar by Motörhead and called it bad seed!
100%
7:55 - I think you are on point here. Even the band Madness used it many times times during the song Baggy Trousers.
4:58, that sounds like dont cry (Guns and Roses
no
Also Helena from Misfits in minute 1:50 is the same as welcome home ay minute 4.
Darkness Decents - Dark Angel
One - MetallicA
Is very similar the drum part
Wow! That's like the millions of songs with that generic rock beat, they must all be ripping Each other off LMAO, drums are the hardest instrument to find "original" ideas on, it's all been done and what's left undone sounds like shit
@@LunaKai01 Lars used Stewart Copeland's drum beat from Synchronicity I in Master Of Puppets. And sure, there's a limit to how many feasible drum patterns there are, but One uses that 16th run + quarter note pattern from Darkness Descends as the basis for the entire finale of the song.
What about _that_ riff from The call of Ktulu which sounds just exactly like the one from The sage by Emerson Lake and Palmer?
I think he has "unconscious" confused with subconscious.
The main riff of Enter Sandman sounds a bit like the main riff of "Beat it" by Michael Jackson
Who else is trying to guess the Metallica song based off of the other song?
I don’t technically see it as stealing or ripping off, yea they might have gotten influence but who hasn’t? I see it as a memory quilt, all sown in from different songs/chords/sounds they like & using it in their own way for a short period in their song, making the song a big old blanket with different pieces of cloth. That’s what makes it unique.
Stone - Get Stoned vs Enter Sandman
Another example is: St. Angers main riff is almost the exact same riff of Pantera's A New Level, just sped up.
You forgot that one part in Atlas Rise that sounds similar to Iron Maiden’s Hallowed Be Thy Name
Angel Garduno which part?
@@KanesTrains Search the song, after the harmony, about min 4:41
Some have suggested that the intro of 'Get Stoned' (from 1998) by the band Stone sounds similar to Enter Sandman.
You missed the most obvious one (pun intended): Dark Angel - Darkness Descends
Rare Music I thought he was gonna mention this one
No mention of how the bridge from "Fade To Black" lifts a good chunk from Black Sabbath's "A National Acrobat"?
3:00 You're welcome.
Hi Andriy, i was wondering what bass guitar do you have?
Didn't know about the David Bowie one
Me neither, it sounded really cool
@@andrewpappas9311 yeah I got to start listening to David Bowie more
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.
His explanations were so logical it’s like he’s part of metallica
first time i heard end of the line i thought of even flow. i think the riffs in those are more similar
I would Get this guy as my lawyer!
Great video! But I've noticed something...
The magnets on your fridge...
I see what you did there...
One letter is missing.
When i write songs i know it will be influenced by Metallica or Sabaton. In my eyes it's normal
I always assumed the title "Leper Massiah" was inspired by the line in the David Bowie song Ziggy Stardust ("...like a leper massiah")
0:03 Arguably Metallica
this Excel is more like Wherever I May Roam and The House Jack Built main riff it's Suicyco Muthafucka by Suicidal Tendencies and Twist of Chain by Danzig it's Thorn Within and bridge of Eye of the Beholder sounds like Iron Maiden's The Trooper and Symptom of the Universe - Sabbath (also Beethoven's V Symphony) it's Creeping Death and intro to The Unforgiven it's Ennio Morricone's The Good, The Bad and The Ugly and The Memory Remains it's Sabbath Bloody Sabbath and Children of the Grave (also Sabbath) it's verse of The Four Horsemen and Seek & Destroy it's Paranoid and Bleeding Me sounds like Crystal Light by UFO and This Was Just Your Life middle riff sounds like The Boys Are Back in Town by Thin Lizzy and middle part of The Day That Never Comes it sounds like middle part of Am I Evil? by Diamond Head and intro sounds like Astronomy by Blue Oyster Cult and also like Astronomy sounds The Unforgiven 3 and Shoot Me Again some parts sounds like Slipknot's - Spit It Out and My Apocalypse, Hardwired, Spit Out the Bone and some parts of St. Anger album sounds like Slayer and No Leaf Clover sounds like Don't Speak by No Doubt ;]
Why is everyone saying they ripped everyone off all of a sudden?
Sounds like jealousy tbh
All of the sudden??? People have been pointing out all that Metallica has stolen since 1985(literally). Christ, they stole their band name.
James hetfield´s part before his solo in Master of puppets (the harmonized section) are the exact notes of phantom of the Opera by Iron Maiden.
Under the influence of David Bowie...ha...I’ve been there before
There is a similar sound between Wherever I may roam vs. some Kind Diamong song or Mercyful Fate song that I can’t remember in this moment.
Master of puppets Remastered is just ripping off Master of puppets 1986.
Such shame for metallica to rip off somebody else's material.
#1 thing I love about this video is your accent! Thanks for the video, never realized all these and I enjoy your analyses....
For real though, there's a band called "Excel"
"Word"
Andriy: Hi friends! is i'm Andriy Vasylenco
Subttitles: hi friends it's in the diva Salonika
магниты случайно в таком порядке или нет.....
Не все буквы собрали ещё
"О" потеряли
What I find funny about the Excel bit is that midway through the song, they themselves ripped off Rush's YYZ.
Andriy, you look terrible. Hope you're taking care of your health. Take care man. Really enjoy your videos. Cheers, Frrrriend.
Lmao damn
Oof
Why exactly?
Oof
OOF
I think that we know as musicians that it is extremely easy to come up with a riff that we think is awesome and original only to find out later that someone else already created it, and that likely we were just inspired by it. For example, take the Beatles song: I want you ( She's so heavy) and play so variations on the intro then consider that it very likely inspired Mama Said. This happened to me a few days ago, I heard the Beatles song and then instantly thought, this was Jame's inspiration for Mama Said. Hint, if you don't play guitar, you will probably not hear the correlation. One last thing Andy, you think The End of the Line sucks? That is disappointing to hear.
Something is missing on the freezer.
Wut
6:11 WHTBT, compare it to the beginning of AC/DC - Hell Bells
and compare G.B.H - No Survivors to Whiplash
