For Whom the Bell Tolls = Still More Fighting (Final Fantasy VII)

[Kruschevez]

You're acting like Metallica hasn't stolen anything in their career...

[YamashitaTsubasa]

There's also a song in FF7 that always reminds me of "Kashmir" by Led Zeppelin with its note progression.

[Kelmster]

Hahah, I remember saying that this song reminded me of Metallica back in Highschool. I got laughed at.

Now I'm the one with the last laugh. Thank you kind sir.

[sickweirdo]

So do the same rules apply to that A La Turk song?

[Grakesch]

it's called inspiration :>

[IshidaTheQuincy]

Bobby Prince?

Tell me more.

[SupperTails66]

@IshidaTheQuincy He did the music for most of id software's games. He basically stole a bunch of riffs from metal songs to make the soundtrack to Doom. There are a bunch of comparison mp3s at doomworld com/linguica/doomcovers/

On a side note, I know some of my other videos just mash up random things that sound slightly similar, but I'm pretty sure Uematsu intentionally lifted this from Metallica. That main riff is virtually identical in both songs, just in a different key.

[IshidaTheQuincy]

@SupperTails66

Oh yeah, I heard about this. I forgot he did Doom too, I was thinking about Commander Keen.

In any case, I always thought he had permission from the original artists to do this.

[singularity3]

@SupperTails66 "According to John Romero, as Prince was previously a lawyer, he “knew the legal amount of sampling that he could do without getting into trouble”. " Bobby didn't steal the music, Romero just game him a bunch of his favorite cds and told him to use them.

[singularity3]

@SupperTails66 Well, he only used what he could without getting in trouble, he was a lawyer after all. Romero knew it, and probably just handed him some of his favorite cds to use.

[Ryuurik]

@SupperTails66 Well, Bobby Prince knew exactly how much eh could rip from others, seeing that he was a lawyer. And really, i didn't mind this because the tracks ended up beautiful. Bobby Prince also noted in an unofficial interview that he liked the tracks and tried to do their melody justice.

[vanishy0urself]

Doesn't prove thievery but Nobuo+Metallica at once = epic. Love the mashup.

Bonus track = I almost died laughing!

[nickzero100]

Listen to the Cheetahmen theme. Now listen to this again.

[nisbahmumtaz909]

Nobuo = Pretty catchy

Metalliguys = Intense

Nobuo + Metalliguys = FUCK YES

[85ranger10]

For Whom The Bell Tolls = 1985

FFVII = 1997

[StotikMindshok]

Yall nigga's postin in a Troll vid.

But this does sound pretty badass layered the way it is.

[CrazyMetalZombie]

SWEET

[RonGiz]

Grasping at straws. At least it's not his best work anyways. (IX)

[RocMegamanX]

Really? Why the low blow on Nobuo? At least he "stole" from someone who's good.

[Kasamoto91]

LOL!!! FUCKING HELL

[quocdarock]

\M/

[thps48]

The eternal question for this kind of shit: Which came first?

Mostly because no says what and I guess more than mostly because we're too lazy to look it up... XD

[Tybob47]

@thps48 For whom the Bell Tolls came out in 1984, ff 7came out in 1997

[tdark987]

I doubt this one is coincidence, somehow. The parts of the tune that aren't Metallica-influenced are basically reused from FF6.

[Blahander]

I don't know but mixing those two together sounds great!:P

[tkwtube01]

I heard a similar song on a commercial for Sonic X a few months before it came out.

[aNewShadeOfGrey]

haven't you heard of the saying: Good artists borrow. Great artists steal.
