volbeat fucking owns, i have recently started listening to them! awesome song :D very metallica inspired tune indeed and badass lyrics. i like all their tunes though. the rockabilly sound mixed with heavy metal and much more is just genious.
Volbeat are SO!!! inspired by Metallica it's kind of scary. Although, they did delevop their own sound which is good, but listen to the first records, so Metallica-ish, the guitars f.x.
And anyone who calls Metallica posers isn't a metal head.People bitched and bitched ever since Black Album came out "Oh when are Metallica gonna do a thrash album again!?"They finally do it,and people are still bitching.
Who was the fuckin retard saying, Volbeat sounds nothing like Metallica? Volbeat are highly influenced by Metallica, you can hear it in there riffs and in the chorus, but Volbeat has evolved "metallica-metal" to a whole new metal-sound. That´s why they are so fucking good, they sound a lot like metallica, but still they got their own sound, and there´s no other band soundin like them. They are the only Metal band who has created a new sound in almost 20years with quality.
@Playingpants This guy has a much better voice than James Hetfield but Metallica is MUCH more than powerchords and double bass. Go listen to And Justice for All in its entirety and get back to me. Nothing Volbeat has done can touch Ride the Lightning, Master of Puppets, or And Justice for All. Sorry...Also, Jame's voice was PERFECT for Metallica.
@samobetty Oh please, I can recite the lyrics to those albums straight from my head. Don't try and give me a metal lesson. But metallica is just boring to me now. Yeah they're way more than powerchords and double bass but if you really study the structure you'll that it's all the same..
As much as i agree with you I also have to say. Although their riffs and double bass is very metal, they crossed a musical barrier (Elvis/Cash Metal) to a whole new caliber that Metallica only ever reached with their acoustic radio performances. Like Four Horseman, Low mans lyric, creeping death etc etc.
u guys cant hate on Metallica they are legendary and they probably influenced Volbeat to come into existence, Metallica has lead metal to what it is today by influencing sooo many bands
You can't say better than that! Finally somone who understand the metal. Anyway, the ppls who say they hate MetallicA they are just ignorant. And why when MetallicA announce a show somewhere and the ticket are out for sale, they are able to sale everything in about 5 min? strange when you think 'bout every hater they have on the internet! Volbeat is great, MetallicA was, is and will always be great!
@Enysvar WTF are u talking about!? metallica didnt steal anything! and how can u call them posers when they helped changed metal to a new form to what it is today! so shut the fuck up about shit u dont even kno
This is their best song by far. It took me 15 minutes to find this song though. I am amazed this song only has 18k hits on youtube. They are not bad, I seen them live at Metallica.
Ride the lightning oh yeah!
