    There's some speculation that it will be released today, but it's just that... speculation. As far as I know, there are no leaks of this song beyond the 30 second clip from Walmart yet.

    Do you mean popularity on the board because metallica is way more popular then Pearl Jam. Sorry.

    I get what you're saying. I know Metallica has a bigger fan base overall. I liked Metallica before PJ even came out. In the last 10 years, in my opinion, Pearl Jam has really done some amazing things. Metallica, not so much. And even you have to admit they lost a lot of fans along the way to this new album. I mean, you remember St. Anger? Awful. PJ will always be the underdog, but I don't think Metallica will make a comback and be as popular as they used to be. I think PJ is close to being that popular now.

    thanks, I'm actually looking forward to hearing what Metallica and Rick Rubin sounds like.

    I liked his work with Slayer on Seasons in the Abyss and South of Heaven.

  • They heard it at Bonnaroo and said " FUCK YES, that's the riff we've been looking for". Metallica were destroyed at Bonnaroo by Pearl Jam so they must have decided if you can't beat em' we'll join em'.
  • I hear more Animal in there than Why Go


    I started 1 2 3 4... when I heard it.
  • sounds like somebody ate why go and then puked it back up.
    LOL win.
    My rhymes and records they don't get played
    Because my records and rhymes they don't get made
    And if you rap like me you don't get paid
    And if you roll like me you don't get laid.

    I hear Animal more than Why Go.
    I wish I was as fortunate, as fortunate as me.

    The same argument could be made by Metallica fans that Pearl Jam has lost a ton of fans along the way (which they have).

    You definitely could fit the count off in there.

    I doubt they were just sitting around listening to Why Go and said "hey lets use this riff for a song!". Probably just a coincidence. It's not like Why Go was a popular song anyways.
    Stone Gossard...riffmeister extraordinaire!

    I bet at least 12 million people know what that song is. ;)

    It was never released as a single but I've actually heard it played on rock stations a few times already.

    True. I agree with that. I guess it's all in what you like. Actually, now that I listen to the samples from Metallica's new album, I'm on the fence about buying it. Some songs actually sound pretty good (I agree Track 2 sounds like Why go but so what, the Chili Peppers opening riff on Dani California sounded like Tom petty's Last dance with Mary jane. It happens. I bet the song in whole won't sound the same. It sounds like 80's Metallica so I might give it a spin.

    That doesn't make anything better. It's just dumb to see people crying that Metallica ripped off PJ when PJ has made songs that sounded almost identical to other bands songs. That's called hypocrisy.
    I shit and I stink. I'm real, join the club.

    A friend, he called, I didn't mention a thing. The last thing he said was, "Be sound". Sound. I contemplated an awful thing, I hate to admit. I just thought those would be such appropriate last words. But I'm still here.

  • The rift sounds similar, but there's only so many rifts before things are recyled. Pearl Jam songs rifts have ripped off just any song from 70s rock. A while back I heard the "doo do doo do doo doo dooo" from Black on the radio, turns out it was an old Rolling Stones song.
    THANK YOU. LIKE THE RIFF TO WHY GO IS SOOO ORIGINAL.

    There are only so many notes and so many ways to put them together. It is inevitable.

    Ya but it just so happens that Metallica was very close by at Bonnaroo for Pearl Jam's set and they played Why Go. Then miraculously a Metallica song with Why Go dripping from it appears. A kawinkydink, I THINK NOT!

    The drums sound the same but I can't hear anything else honestly. Sorry.

    Now that Severed Hand rip off from a while back, that's another story. Anyone have a link of that one?

    2. hearing those snippets, i have no doubt metallica is going to continue to suck

    hahah perfectly said!
  • Wanna hear the biggest rip off of all-time. It's from a guy named Kenny Wayne Shepherd, the song is called While We Cry. Get this the album is called "LEDBETTER Heights" and yes Yellow Ledbetter is the song being ripped off.

    Not saying that it does make any better.. My point was that everyone borrows or even outright steals shit from other musicians. This has been going on for ever.
    Thats a lovely accent you have. New Jersey?

    Even though I like Pearl Jam more than Metallica, I don't think Metallica are that bad. I guess since I didn't start listening to Metallica until summer of 1992, I didn't grow up listening to their first four albums (which I do like more than Load through St. Anger). Like I said, Metallica might not be as good as they were in the 80s, but I still like their music. I even like some of the songs from Load, Reload and St. Anger.
