Crazy i was just listening to snippets of the new metallica album on itunes and heard a riff from "the end of the line" and i swear its almost the same as "Why go". Has anyone else heard this? Im sure its not just me.

    I know it's been talked about to death but I just bought the new metallica album. awesome to say the least. also, the riff that sounds like why go is about 10 seconds in a 7 minute song that sounds nothing like you've heard since the justice album. killer.

    I doubt they actually ripped PJ off. Just a coincidence. I wonder what they think of grunge.
    I pledge to you a government that will not only work well, but wisely, its ability to act tempered by prudence, and its willingness to do good, balanced by the knowledge that government is never more dangerous than when our desire to have it help us blinds us to its great power to harm us.

    Because the album is awesome. Much better than anything pearl jam has put out in the past 10 years (not counting Lost Dogs) if you are into that kind of music. Obviously you are not or you have some sort of grudge.

    The funny thing is "The End Of the Line" is my favorite song on the album. Maybe its the Why Go riff?

    I second that. And I haven't liked a Metallica album since Justice.

    And I am old enough to remember when the early albums came out.
    My whole life looked like a picture of a sunny day.

    maybe you should at least give it a listen before you judge....it's a good album. better than anything metallica has put out in a long time.

    I wouldnt say that exactly because I dont agree with him. First off, the only similarity they have is that they start the song with drums only... the beat is completely different. Im a drummer and I play both Rocket Queen and Why Go... Not only is the beat pattern different but the timing is different as well. Come on now.... you'll figure it out if you listen to it. Secondly, that new metallica song does very much sound like why go, I agree. I wouldnt say its a rip off though, at least not intentionally. Immitation is the most sincerest form of flatery... lol
    Third, dont tell Metallica that Metalica ripped off Metallica because Metallica might sue Metallica. My god, that song "The day that never comes"- wow does that begining sound alot like Fade to Black!!!! Either way though, Im glad to see Metallica trying to get their sound back, but PJ will always RULE!
