Well, the Metallica album has leaked and I'm pleased to hear that the whole song doesn't sound like Why Go. However, the Why Go drums/riff does make a few visits during the Metallica song.

I imagine the following YouTube link will get pulled fast, since Metallica seems to be doing their best to purge the leak, but have a listen while you can:

Like PJ ripped off Zepplin's "Going To California"?

In all seriousness, am I the only one who cannot hear the similarities between GTF and GTC? They sound like two totally different songs.

That said however there apparently was some talk about it back 10 years ago, and I thought it was SUPER FUCKING COOL that when Robert Plant played with PJ at the Katrina benefit they played Given To Fly and then went right into Going to California.

It's funny but the first 5 times or so I could see it, but I've tried a few times since and I can't really anymore. I know that's wierd but I can't. If I heard it at first it must be a little tiny bit similar.

it does sound a bit like why go but i definately wouldnt classify it as a "rip off" - probably just a coincidence

Walmart has posted 30 second clips of the upcoming Metallica album, and the second song titled "The End Of The Line" sounds suspiciously like "Why Go" to me. What do you all think?

Now I'm not going to go into a major fit about this or anything, and the rest of the song may sound nothing like Why Go... but see if you guys hear it too in this small clip.

That all sounds the same to me.

Eh, it happens. It's not blatant enough for me to care.

Did you think I was saying I found him and noticed the total RIP OFF job. I heard about this from one of the two boards awhile ago champ. If your worried about the credit in finding it, we can say you found it, now pat yourself on the back.

Dude,

:rolleyes: believe me I'm a shakin'.

You do know I called that Kenny Wayne whatever dude a douche, not SENROCK, right?


Anyway the guy ripped off Yellow Ledbetter and it is the most obvious piece of theft I've ever heard of a song.

If you dig a little deeper, you will see that it is quoted by Mike McCready that he got the riff for Yellow Ledbetter from Robbie Krieger of the Doors. So much for originality. It's in the Lost Dogs sleeve that he heard the riff, an article in Guitar Magazine quoted him saying it was The Doors.

Hmmm so Metallica ripped off of Kyuss on St Anger and now they've moved on to Pearl Jam for the new album. This sounds exactly like riffs from Why go and Jeremy.

MakeMeCry43

Well, it sounds like the drum riff of Animal intertwined with Why go, but I wouldn't call it a deliberate rip off, it might've been coincedence really...and also the entire song doesn't sound like those two songs, the riff just happens to come in every once in a while.

And Given to fly, it's not a HUGE rip off either, it was inspired by Going to california, surely, even Mike said the song was inspired by it and hell, Robert Plant performed it with PJ, so it's clear that there's no hard-feelings or anything, and to me, it sounds like Going to california a tiny little bit, not ENTIRELY....but I guess in music, there's always gonna be something sounding like the other, it's been happening for ages and as along as they admit it or give credit, then there's no harm done, now if an artist stole a song right off, now that would tick me off....but other than that, It's normal to me.

So all we've really established is that Animal ripped off Why Go?...

I know about the influences Mike had when he wrote Yellow Ledbetter, so I won't enroll in your class. The difference between being influenced by something and stealing something are totally different.
