Ripping off Bowie now?? Thoughts?!

Not a stretch. They also have a song called Leper Messiah on the same album which is a Bowie lyric.

Seriously??!? Cheers man! Never knew!

Both are E minor, tho metallica pushes E phrygian on the half step - “master < master!” lol Almost no difference in motif, though Kirk is all over the place if we compare the music genres. Why Kirk uses this short lick might have been for tonic clarity, or he’s just a massive Bowie fan

@bateperson put me onto this so…yeah…

@bateperson Oh my gosh .. now I wonder about Trent Reznor and many others. Thanks for sharing, guys. I had no clue I thought Metallica invented everything 😏

@bateperson All good man. I don’t wanna go back and forth! Cheers for commenting and talking stuff man.

@bateperson Absolutely 🦾

they just got caught once again

After the Kill em All album and their music changed so drastically I always figured someone else was writing the music for them and they were contracted to preform.

Yeah fair point man.

Now check this out: Iron Maiden, Children of the damned ➡️ Metallica, Unforgiven 2 Led Zeppelin, Immigrant song ➡️ Iron Maiden, Flight of the Icarus ➡️ Guano apes, Lords or the board

Well fuck me I’ll check them out now man cheers!

Who cares puppets rules

Hay una canción de bowie en el guitar hero de Metallica, o sea

Led Zeppelin is also famous for this

Hmmmm

I love the way people post this stuff as if they've discovered something groundbreaking..... it has only been spoken about for several decades already.

Thank god we have you huh! I thank god for you because you knew and I didn’t. You’re the best. You know, you are so great you can come over to my house and fuck my sister I like you so much hahahahaha

That might be about the most unhinged thing posted on here today. Get some help.

Andy was a bit of a master of puppets and a puppet with a master himself.

Old news, not sure if Hammet even admitted to it

Really did he?

Here's little something How David Bowie influenced a signature Metallica hit

Get outta town huh! Cheers man! I’m a Bowie fan. Didn’t know this!

Its so funny now everybody hating on Metallica. Seems like pretty crazy timing if u ask me 🤔🤔🥱🥱

Well ripping off ripping off… maybe, but sure it’s not intended, as s musician you got your influences. I’m sure Bowie one of them, Sabbath one of them etc… Hammet (or Jamez) maybe just come up with it, sounded good maybe even recognize it, but couldn’t just id it..🤷🏽‍♂️

Well @bateperson put me onto this so…it was a rip off lol

@bateperson OK ! Well Bowie was not a baby about it so..respect for Bowie.., if he reacted he maybe took it as a compliment

Andy Warhol being the worst Song Bowie ever made

Now? Also, the band always acknowledged this - they even call it the Bowie riff. It’s on the same album as leper messiah, from a lyric in ziggy stardust as the band listened to a lot of Bowie at the time and are big fans.

wow! sandman is a rip off too and a terrible song

Oh no!!! How am i gonna be able to enjoy Metallicas absolute bangers ever again? 😱😱

No. You shut up lol
