  • Damn Iron Maiden has 12123123123 albums. It's really hard to not rip them...

  • papa roach is one of the gayest bands ever, and they ripp of to many bands. iron maiden is the best band in the world. no one should ever ripp them of. 

  • also Deathrow - "Beyond The Light" ,,, and what 112nizo said "starry eyes by mötley crüe" , just checked that one out ,,WARNING extreme manmel toe !

  • its not a ripp off.

  • starry eyes by mötley crüe

  • Who cares if they copyed if its awesome then its meant to be shared their both great band thats are doing well in there type of music genres

  • Son of a bitch!!

  • Papa Roach is gay.

  • @337camo ""suck my wife's little penis, fisting my fagget porn""

  • @saynotogmailforyoutu yeah.....

  • Who cares. Papa Roach is nothing.

  • Man the fan's are basing their none skills on the bands,too ruin others.That's gay

  • It's not the same riff. They are played differently. If it was one note I could see that, but it's several notes. The tempo is slower, plus Papa Roach goes down to the Low E String when they play the song while Iron Maiden does not.

  • @Muzikmaniak40 It's the same riff.

  • @lonelydwightfrye I just looked up both of the tabs, and the Genghis Khan tab is played similarly but in a lower octave than Last Resort. If you want to you can look up the tabs!

  • @Muzikmaniak40 LOL...okay, so I'm going to take the intro riff to Sweet Child O' Mine and drop it an octave and it will then be a new song written by me.

  • if you knew anything about music, and i dont mean "i a loser that sits at home and listens to albums all day" i mean ACTUALLY KNOWS ABOUT MUSIC, you would know that there are only so many std chord progressions and scales to go through, every piece of music made from the dawn of time uses the same basic elements. it has nothing to do with "stealing", just ppl that dont understand how music works.

  • I was just listening to Maiden a second ago and though "Is that Last Resort?"

  • Why are people crying so hard every band that has done well borrowed something at one point or another anyways...

  • Comment removed

  • totally

  • Sounds so much better on the Maiden version.

  • Infinate Dreams?

  • this kinda happens so often that it's not really worth giving a fuck about, but hey it's always nice to have a new reason to hate on these faggot bands of today. not that i'd really need something like this.

  • similar yes...also sounds like Hallow Be Thy Name...but not ripped off...if they ripped it off they would have had the shit sued out of them...i think Vanilla Ice taught us all that

  • Every 7th grader played this riff at some point, regardless of whether or not they heard Maiden or Papa Roach before. When you first learn the minor scale, this riff just comes naturally. For christ stake, there are only so many notes, peeps are bound to duplicate shit eventually.

  • @TheMadRabbi666 7 BASIC notes to be exact including G AND 12 FLATED AND SHARP :0 )

  • Its also the bridge of infinite dreams by Maiden. Note for note nearly. Damn Papa Roach

  • First of all everybody "rips off" riffs from any band/song. Second there r not tht many riffs left tht pple can think of. Papa Roach just simply used part of Genghis Khan in a different situation.

  • For a perfect example of what I'm talking about, search for the video "Four Chord Song" by Axis of Awesome. Youtube won't let me post the link.

  • @christheghostwriter

    The same fucking notes...just slowed.

  • This "ripped off" thing is a bunch of bulls**t. It's not like they used the same melody. How stupid are you people? There are only so many chords, chord progressions, and notes. Everything is inevitably going to sound like something else. It has NOTHING to do with "ripping off." Get a clue.

  • Yeha its more like Hallowed be thy Name. maybe mixed em both. Hell when I'm jamming around I'll "make up" riffs. Sound cool but familiar. Maybe was by accident. Subconsious or something

  • fuck papa roach

  • Iron Maiden should feel lucky that someone loved their song and used it consciously or subconsciously.

  • @kotkee and iron maiden feel "lucky" ? Iron Maiden is one of the few bands that actually accended to a BRAND. Eddie, the logo, album covers and artwork, rabid fans, people who even bought X-Factor and Virtual XI, knowing they would suck. Thats pretty impressive. And with zero radio play.

    Papa Roach, designed via formula specifically for radio play, over produced, and where are they now?

  • This is bullshit

  • there is a song of a pretty famous christian metal band, called "Tourniquet" that have a riff pretty similar as this ones xD the song name is "Ark of Suffering" here: watch?v=DDrum1NS2No at 3:12 aprox. check it :D

  • Probably by accident. I ripped it off too in part of a song my band had back in 1985. When I heard Papa Roach I thought "Hey that's my riff". I didn't even make the Ghengis Khan connection until seeing this video and Maiden was my FAVORITE BAND! LOL. I mean, I bought Killers the first week it came out.

    Wow, epic fail on my part. :D

  • @demonhoopa that is the greatest thing ever.

  • @DeathTwoStupidity Hey if you're going to fail, fail spectacularly. :)

  • @demonhoopa you must've not listened to that album much then . . .

  • @andrehendrik Oh yea that must have been it :::eyeroll::::

  • @demonhoopa either that or you have a shitty ear for music, take your pick - it's a pretty distinctive guitar part

  • @andrehendrik Seriously, I just never made the connection. It was only a small part at the end of the song and it was played very high (up in the 12th fret area on the highest strings). I kind of got the idea from a classical piece called Dance of the Washerwoman which I used as an acoustic intro to the song. But when I revisited it at the end of the song and played it double time, it sounded like Ghengis Khan (only really high).

  • @demonhoopa no worries -- up the hammers!

  • hate modern rock as it is......

  • @junkerde i think its so overated and praised for being original (well most is) i hate it also!

  • @junkerde It's not as bad as the stuff they call rap and pop that they play on the radio 24/7

  • That riff sounds exactly like Halloweed By Thy Name ._.

  • I mentioned this on another vid, but it bares repeating. Immature poets borrow . . . mature poets steal.

  • It's Not Even The Same It's 3 Notes Off lol

  • I don`t like Papa Roach. Iron Maiden is way better. It`s old an classic but good. Up the irons! ;)

  • theres more notes in the iron maiden version and iron maidens version came out way long b4 papa roach ever thought of writting tunes lol, if anything papa roach ripped them off

    just sayin

  • @icepikilla Read the whole title of the video Iron Maiden ripped off BY Papa Roach.

    I dont really hear it though.

  • iron maiden play a similar lick in infinite dreams and bring your daughter to the slaughter

  • zrzyna jak chuj !

  • Coincidence, there are so many rock songs, more than 2 are bound to sound the same...

  • And of course the prowler and between angels and incects...

  • last resort was made from the bassist pressing random keys and jacoby heard it so wrote it down then jerry played it on guitar , jacoby made some lyrics , bam , making last resort. after making it ass holes like you guys hear it and automatically think its a rip off but no ... its not. it sounds similar in a way but after thousands and thousands of years how do you not expect at least 1 song not to sound like an other? i like iron maiden but papa roach is my favorite band. it is not a rip off...

  • The riff itself is a "rip-off" of a standard classical/baroque figure, so whatever :D

  • @twooffour What figure? I'm interested...

  • @ChristopherSEAY123

    Hm, if I could've thought of a particular example, I would've named it right away... certainly something by Bach, maybe from piano suites or something...

    A "reversed" example of this figure can be found in his prelude no.2 in c minor, from WTC I.

    I'll post here if I think of an example :)

  • Even if I love Maiden I can't say its a rip off. Up the irons!

  • this is not a rip off like most of those stupid rip off videos. this riff has 4 notes and considering the fact that there are infinitely many songs in the world there is a pretty big chance that some of them sound similar.

  • "Cut my life into pieces, this is Maiden's rip-off"

  • fucking fucktards

  • fuck papa roach

  • The papa roach riff sounds more like VIRTUE's ''we stand to fight'' (1985) riff.

  • @peterhz6 You are right, it is very alike..

  • *Facepalm*

  • Comment removed

  • meh, maiden ripped off wishbone ash and thin lizzy so get your fucking heads out of your asses

  • @Cyrillion maiden never ripped shit off, they just do riffs better so its not a bad thing....

  • @grimmenigma949 Maiden DID take the Wicker Man riff from Running Wild by Judas Priest.

  • @lyon1535 fuck you, nobody cares, maiden still did the riff better

  • @grimmenigma949 You sound like an asshole.

  • @lyon1535 you sound like a pussy

  • @grimmenigma949 You sound like an egotistical teenager.

  • @lyon1535 you are an egotistical preteen, probably should let your balls drop before you start thinking youre a metalhead

  • @grimmenigma949

    I'm a preteen?

  • @lyon1535 youre a fag too

  • @grimmenigma949 You're one of those guys who insults people on the internet because it makes them feel good for whatever reason. Of course, since I've worded it in the form of an insult, you will probably completely avoid what I'm telling you and make another fag/pussy/fuck you/no one cares type insult which mean absolutely nothing to me considering I don't attach any personal significance to you or your remarks.

  • @lyon1535 you got me wrong, i just like to tell any dumbass what i want, and you saying shit about maiden is what set off my aggression, i base everything i said to you based you you talking shit to maiden

    like i said fuck you nobody cares, maiden is still better

  • @grimmenigma949 I'm simply stating that Iron Maiden also takes riffs from other bands. Iron Maiden is my favourite band and I'm not saying Priest is better than them. I'm just saying they're not innocent when it comes to taking other people's riffs. Nothing more.

  • @lyon1535 dude as a guitarist i can tell you strait up they didnt steal shit,

    some dude though mayhem stole a riff, once the band was confronted they said they never ever heard the band that the other guy said they stole from, and to top it off, a few months ago i made up a riff and my mother told me its sounded exactly like how the gods kill by danzig.... look at my music, does it look like i listen to him?

  • @grimmenigma949 Yes, but Iron Maiden HAS heard Judas Priest. Priest was one of their largest influences.

  • @lyon1535 So was Jethro Tull and Jimi Hendrix

  • @lyon1535 right on, that means my inspiration got inspiration from another bad ass band.

  • @lyon1535 And 2 Minutes To Midnight is a rip off too!!

    But doesn't compare dude!This fuckers are the most poser that i ever seen!

    Maiden and Priest started the NWOBHM

  • @MrHammerofdevil92 True, but Mercyful Fate's version was pretty badass too.

  • @lyon1535 Curse Of Pharoah it's fuckin awesome!!

    Venom's version it's the best!!!

  • Yeah, that's totally a rip off. When you first played the song by Iron Maiden I could've sworn you were playing Rime of the Ancient Mariner. Those two kinda sound a little similar

  • Yup totally ripped off, that's why papa roach aren't around anymore.

  • papa roach is for faggots

  • @NickHill668 Is there any danger of putting a comment up that's even a tiny bit positive? Saying "This band is shite" is not really a good way to go about things. I'm so sick & tired of listening to music or watching a music video & just as I'm ready to post a comment saying "wow, what a cool song", I keep seeing that some arse has just decided to bring something else into it. Such as, Justin Beiber. I don't WANT to hear about that little shite bag. I'm listening to my metal. BE POSITIVE MAN!!!

  • Papa roach sucks ass.

  • Come on guys, anything you play is a rip off of maiden, because maiden has done every thing.

  • @catshumpcats3

    Actually,you should say that about Black Sabbath.

    That everything,that is "metal" has at least once been done by Black Sabbath in the 1st place.

  • Dunno what you hipster faggots are listening to, but Papa Roach clearly sounds better here. Not even a fan of them. "Stop liking what I don't like" get the fuck over it faggots

  • Man I told everyone this when I heard this in USA in 99-00 (when I was a student) but no one would like..... I blame MTV !!! ....

  • Papa Roach can't even repeat it!

  • LETS STOP GIVING A SHIT WHO RIPPED OFF WHO,AFTERALL ISN'T IMMITATION THE SINCEREST FORM OF FLATTERY?

  • who doesnt rip iron maiden off

  • @MetalRevenant you should add "again" to the title of the video.They also ripped Prowler once.

  • Loooolololol, you're a fucking faggot for even relating Iron Maiden to Papa Roach, the only thing that's related between those two bands is that they both breathe air.

  • ewwww lame ass band.

  • if i were a musician the first band that i would rip off is IRON MAIDEN.

  • I don't like Papa Roach, but you would have to be a genious in order to play a riff that no one else has ever played ever.

  • a lot of dream theater riffs are that way

  • @Wasserrauschen or tony iommi , oh wait he is a genius

  • @Tyskmetal You are a fucking idiot, and don't deny it.

  • this isn't a "rip-off"you retarded fucks. all metal riffs are more or less derived from earlier riffs. if you want to write a song without "ripping off" anybody then put some guy in a room for his entire life where he can't hear any music, and then have him write a song.

  • It's not a rip-off. It's just the hardest thing Papa Roach can play.

  • @DrxSlump in my opinion it's one of there easiest songs to play if you know how to alternate pick.

  • Listen to Iron Maiden's Prowler and Papa Roach's Between angels and insects

  • Iron Maiden Was Before Slayer Love em both though!!!

  • papa roach's riff is more a rip-off of maiden's "infinite dreams" riff that occurs half-way through the song

  • iron maiden is better

  • I like how even though they ripped them off, the still couldn't play like Harris.

  • I could have swore Iron Maiden came out before Papa Roach LMAO!!!

  • Genghis Kahn? I thought that was a pokemon.

  • Its called being influenced .. I love Maiden and love seeing other bands influenced by them ... . lol when i first heard last resort I said Iron Maiden riff

  • lol well it has a different feel but can see wat u mean

  • thats a pretty simple riff its kinda common just saying but i dont want to upset any metalheads lord knows you love youtube comment fights >.>

  • What kind of faggot listens to Iron Maiden AND Papa Roach?

  • i don't like nu-metal too but INFEST is a cult Album!!!! respect that

  • @Clawfish94 So you're saying that people should respect a shitty album because a bunch of suicidal teenagers with trust funds believe that anything with distortion is metal?

    I'd rather rip my left nut off than say ANYTHING positive about that terrible fucking band!

  • @Clawfish94 Why is that a cult album ?

  • fuckn eh, it's just a fucking pedal point. Why don't we just keep pointin fingers till we get to bach and handel, and even further why not!

  • its the same scale played slower -.- everyone learns these scales not stealing

  • Iron Maiden was first you dumb shit

  • As Steel Panther said, "Death to Papa Roach"

  • iron maiden rip off Justin beiber cause they both have hi pitched vocals there

  • @theDAMNEDproductions HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA. Listen to Maiden again dickhead. Bruce has a beautiful fucking voice and he sounds like a man. Listen to El Dorado.

  • @killermockers47 wow he sounds more like a jew having his foreskin removed than "man" ahhaha

  • @theDAMNEDproductions I have no idea where you are getting this high pitch from, He may Metal Scream from time to time. But he doesn't sing like some bands I know. Now who direspects Maiden. Honestly you aren't a metalhead until you have at least one Maiden album.

  • @killermockers47 no its just all long chord vocals iron maiden,el Dorado yes i heard it ,its ok until hes ready to start the chorus "el Dorado step this way" its just not my thing and as of "not being a metal head" i actually own 3 maiden albums "final frontier" , "iron maiden" and "different worlds" ,iron maiden not the best band in the world. Bruce an't the same as Paul Di'Anno but however i bet your far to young to remember him iron maiden i once loved you

  • @theDAMNEDproductions Yeah. I am young. But I love Killers and Iron Maiden. He barely uses high metal screams anymore.

  • @theDAMNEDproductions mmmyeeah, there's no such thing as "different worlds", man.. it's the first track off their 2006 album A matter of life and death, though.. or.. different world, actually :p

  • I find it funny that there are so many "x steals y's riff" vids here. As if it's a rare thing to find. How many rock songs do you think have been written in Emin with some combination of E5, G5, A5 and D5? I mean .. c'mon. Believe it or not, metal is not the most original of genres. I would say for every song you can probably find quite a few soundalikes.. and many would be completely unintentional.

  • none of these videos are rip offs they're just influences.

  • This isn't a rip off, Iron Maiden didn't invent the progression and the notes are different. It's an easy melody and not a rip off.

    I don't like Papa Roach either but come on man, find something a little more concrete ok?

  • you know whats funny, in my earliest days of producing beats, (when I first started making beats), I actually made this same exact melody on piano. the poppa roach song hadn't even come out yet, and i never listened to metal or knew who iron maiden was. this is the simplest melody that so many starting producers play with because its so obvious when you are learning piano. and it sounds so good. just saying.

  • papa roach sucks 

  • Who cares, I don't give a shit about Papa Roach and I'm sure not many other people do as well.

  • same pattern, different notes so more like a heavy influence. But the main point is that a throwaway riff on an iron maiden song is equivalent to the main riff of one of papa roach's song

  • @Traedeer a throwaway riff on what could be argued is a throwaway song.. (if iron maiden knew how to do that) but i like you're point

  • Up the IRONS!

  • Papa Roach's riff is better ;)

  • @Tyskmetal fuck u bitch go choke on a dick

  • @Tyskmetal yeah for those mainstream idiots ... !

  • @GerMaggot555 Who cares i still don't like Maiden

  • @Tyskmetal because the mainstream don´t like talented musician ...

  • @GerMaggot555 I'm not mainstream dude, Where did you get that from?

  • @Tyskmetal Papa Roach = mainstream ... you have bullet for my valentine cover ... Sum 41

    Or in short form ... your channel, the who cares answer and so on ...

  • @GerMaggot555 WTF? I'm not mainstream??? What's mainstream with B4MV? Mainstram people listen to pop music like Eurovision song contest and that shit, techno and rap...

  • @Tyskmetal this is called mainstream metal ... this is the metal music sometimes pop listeners listen to :D

    Like enter sandman or fuel from metallica ... this are popular songs, many mainstream people listen to these songs

  • @GerMaggot555 B4MV is Metalcore dude, Sum 41 = Punkrock, Papa Roach = Alternative Metal.

    Who Cares if Fuel or Enter Sandman are popular in mainstream? I'ts still good metal songs

  • @Tyskmetal cool story bro too bad iron maiden are 200000X times better than those talentless nu-metal fags

  • @RocknRollman1995 Talnetless Nu Metal?You sir know nothing about music...it's talentless ALT METAL!
