    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.

    :eek: Oh gosh.... this is hilarious!

    My housemate LOVES Metallica and HATES PJ... I'm gonna have so much fun with this :D
    Been to this many PJ shows: Reading 2006 London 2007 Manchester & London 2009 Dublin, Belfast, London, Nijmegen & Berlin 2010 Manchester 1 & Manchester 2 2012...

    ... and I still think Drive-By Truckers are better.

    I got off the Metallica bandwagon right when everyone else got on with the Black album. I have the new release in it's entirety and I have to say it ROCKS! As far as ripping off Pearl Jam that's a stretch. You can find parts of nearly every song that are heard in another.

    Death Magnetic is a flashback to '80s Metallica and I for one am pleased.

    every riff in rock history sounds ripped off from something tony iommi wrote anyways.


    Exactly...There are many influences in PJ's music : Rolling Stones, Springsteen, the Who , Neil Young, dare I say Shania Twain !!!! lol
    maybe its an honuor to have your music 'borrowed'...just my two cents.
  • That is f*in ridiculous.

    Sure its not a Why Go cover?

  • An influence is one thing.

    Ripping off someones entire intro (even the cymbal) is exactly that... Ripping someone off.

    How lame and unoriginal.

    Metallica has always sucked. Now we know that they blow as well.

  • They weren't quite satisfied in ripping off Pearl Jam, they decided to rip off themselves too, because the lyrical parts are almost exactly like Creeping Death.

  • death magnetic is fucking amazing

    its loosely the same riff....not a rip off

    and so what! its a good riff why NOT use it !!!

    end of the line is a fucking awesome song!!
  • Metalica has not been relevant since Bush Sr was ruing the world...
    Too many young males beleive that manhood is defined by the ability to injure a man, rather than helping one.

  • I actually think it sounds a little more like Animal main riff. At least the very start of it. But I could probably sit there and think of 20 more songs it also sounds like. You could say Yellow Ledbetter sounds like a Hendrix rip off too right? Just take good music for what it's worth and have a good time with it. It's not that close as I would bash Metallica like some on here are doing now. And face it before Seatlle exploded in the 90's 90% of you were listening to Metallica. I love Pearl Jam and Metallica. Yay on the new album!

    wow they've officially lost it

    and Day that never comes...what did they do take every slow song like Fade to black, Unforgiven, One, etc and remix it all? Sounds like every 30 seconds one of those riffs come in

    this is not gonna do good either...thats it. Theyre done :rolleyes:


    Haha I'm listening to the audio right now and thought the same thing. The first song sounds almost exactly like "Don't Tread on me" from the black album. Metallica has been awful of recent years but they did have pretty good run for awhile, I'll probably get in on tickets to their show in Jersey just to check it out.

    The show should still kick ass but i wouldnt even care to hear any of the new songs. I like how they promote the new album on K-Rock and they play all the old hits! lol
    Aah, fuck it, I’m just gonna go home, turn on the fuckin’ TV...
    Watch the nightly news and drink a beer...
    Like I could even change the world, yeah right...

  • I don't get how people can still listen to this. Metallica just sounds so dated and cheesy to me.

  • I want my $10.00 back. I bought it just to give it a whirl. There is absolutely NOTHING on this album that is worth the time or the money. (Except for the killer rip off on track 2).

    They should throw in the towel. They are starting to make fools of themselves.

    Considering the fact everyone's flushing them down the toilet, I would suggest your local sewer system.
