shortly after hearing this,metallica cut their hair and went gay. they hired Bob Rock and immediately became a pop group. at least, in spite of its shortcomings, this is a true metal song. ironically this is from 1989, same year as "Justice", the last metal album from metalligay. 23 YEARS SINCE GOOD MUSIC FROM METALLIGAY. and to think they stole Enter Shitman. the arrogance. never shoulda cut their hair and went gay.
Haha, I read somewhere that Metallica stole this riff, I soon as I heard the original version, I thought to myself 'This is way better!'. Deleted Enter Sandman from my playlist and added this. Napster fiasco bullshit.
im a huge fan of Possessed/Primus guitarist Larry LaLonde (one of the most underrated guitarists ever) and this sounds similar although much heavier to "Ler's" playing style. am I wrong?
Mustaines songs were written for the first album kill em all dick face, and that album was nowhere near as popular as "Master of Puppets" "And Justice for all" or "The Black album". Which Mustaine had absolutely no part in. So whats your fucking point? James Hetfield is one of the greatest musicians of all time. The fact is, so what if he took a little tiny part of a riff from a song. All the other most popular metallica songs were all METALLICA. Greatest band of all time!
@Dominator5515 Check the writing credits. First two albums are a load of Mustaine riffs. It was on M.O.P. when that well ran dry that they started pilfering, turning Bleak House "Rainbow Warrior" into Sanitarium.
@Dominator5515 That is the truth. Call of ktulu, and Ride the Lightnings riffs were Daves. Jump in the Fire, Phantom Lord and The four Horseman were Dave's songs.
I'm reading directly from Daves book, written by Dave "... a song written exclusively by one of the members of the band - was "Jump in the Fire." It was mine."
Also by dave "I was the primary writer on four of those songs: "Mechanix", "Phantom Lord", "Jump in the Fire", "Metal Militia""
later in the book he rants about how Metallica didn't ask permission from him when they put those songs on Kill Em' All (after they kicked him out)
@Metallideth1993 I love Metallica, my 1st concert was them and Ozzy back in 1986. I've played in bands for most of my life. I opened for Anthrax in the US and UK in 05 and 06, Slayer in upstate NY in 07, and a slew of other great bands. With that much said, I have musical knowledge, and Metallica clearly stole this riff.
@Metallideth1993 You're in serious denial bro. Lars always was a notorious tape trader. Excel was definitely a band they were very much aware of. They jacked this riff. PERIOD. They even went to court over it, but since Excel was a poor indie band and Metallica a rich corporate band, we all know money talks. My resume buries any of you math metal nerds sitting in your rooms memorizing scales. Google me son.
@QElevenThirtyEight If I were to pick up a guitar right now and compose a song, the chances are that the song will sound VERY similar to ones used in other songs that I haven't heard. Why? Because as I say, in western harmony we are limited to 12 notes. Some songs sound like other songs. This song sounds like Enter Sandman because the melody goes, octave, perfect fourth, semitone. The melodic structure is similar, this is not proof metallica ripped the song off.
@QElevenThirtyEight Also, you claim your resume, "buries math metal nerds" (such as myself, apparently.) You can't just say that, back it up, what have you done that makes your input superior?
@QElevenThirtyEight Anyone that knows anything about music knows there are only 12 notes in the chromatic scale on a perfect octave, therefore every single song can be traced to another song, with similar sound.
And even if they did steal it, Enter Sandman sounds way better than this, the structure, the intro, the vocals/lyrics... production value, etc
Hetfields riffs have been among the most ripped off ones, along with Mustaine, and you dont hear them bitching about it.
@thenamelesscrow I would hope Metallica's version sounds better, being it was recorded with a much larger recording budget. Sure, any song can be traced to another song, but THE RIFF SOUNDS EXACTLY THE FUCKING SAME, minus a few lil twangs here and there. Get real bro. Like I said, I'm a huge Metallica fan, but the facts are the facts. Where were you in 86? And you don't hear Mustaine bitching? Are you serious? Or do you just get your info from webzines? Dave put Pantera on blast back in the day
@DarkAbraddon098 I can't find anything on these bands (other than excel). Like, anywhere haha but I want to check 'em out. Where can I have a listen to some of their stuff?
@Warheart11 OH MY GOD I'm such a dumbass XD Ohhhhhhh fuck that's embarrassing... goddamn lol....... In my defense, the names were slightly modified haha :P If it was "Powerpoint / Word etc." I may have noticed.... MAYBE lol
@opticomxDDDDDDDDDDDD sounds very close to YYZ, But these guys can't compare to RUSH.... so happy that one of the greatest rock bands comes from where i live...Canada
Two different motives behind the songs, definitely two different drivers of the riffs. I learned both of these riffs when learning guitar in around 91ish and never connected them until YouTube.
this song does sound a little bit like enter sandman but any other musician on here knows that there are certain notes in a scale or key that you almost have to stick to and those notes are commonly used in alot of music, especially in metal the e minor scale: E F sharp G A B C D E and if you know this scale and play alot of metal riffs you will notice most of the notes are these notes with the exception of the flat five in this scale (B Flat) or F
@adtrrocks1231 That's the silliest explanation ever. There's about a million metal songs in the world that don't sound "anything" alike, but then there's always the few that do. And that's more likely about being influenced by another song than coincidence. Like in the case of "Enter sandman" it's quite certain James and Co. had heard this song and Stone's "Get stoned" and were heavily influenced by them - on purpose or not.
You would think people would accept the coincidence in songs after years of songs being made. Over the course of time, there is always going to be some songs that sound very similar, but never the fucking same. You would think at some point in time, eventually, someone would make a song that sounds similar to another after 30 years. (By 30 years I mean like 1980-2011) So, even nowadays, you'll hear something similar to something from the 80s. No one ripped off anyone. It's just a coincidence.
@CreepingMetallica91 Like I just explained to the other guy: these "coincidences" are almost never about coincidence, but about being influenced by other song/band. And referring to ur example: any music that u hear nowdays that sounds like something from the 80's is definately NOT a coincidence, but a purposed imitation (or in case of pop music there's a huge chance of a rip off by trying to make "new" hits based on old treasures from the past).
@MaximusAdonicus That's kinda the point I was trying to make in my comment. I was going to " It's Called Influence" But there wasn't any room left for it.

I just got to the part in Dave Mustaine's autobiography where he talks about Enter Sandman and how that riff eerily sounded similar to this one. This song is waaaaaaaaaaay better.
actually this song came out 3 years before enter sandman, plus its a riff. who cares its music. no 1 gives a shit metallica is insane and excel is balls so yea..FUCK HATERS EXCEL 4 EVA
wow... just WOW i love this song! i dont know why almost everyone compares this to metallica just b´cuz the intro is similar to enter sandman... this song i actually thing is better even though im a huge metallica fan, and now... im a fan of excel, thats how music work, you find new bands and songs that you like and not looking down on music that you dont listen to...
Anyone with half a mind knows that this is played differently on guitar (I know how to play it). Its similarity to Metallica, however, as everything about Metallica has become lately, makes everyone flame Metallica.
Pfft. Listen to "Liar" by Megadeth and "War Pigs" by Black Sabbath. THAT's a rip-off.
"Then the Black Album came out, and "Enter Sandman" became Metallica's biggest single. Forget for a moment that James and Lars had a history with my songs. Forget that the opening lick to "Enter Sandman" sounded eerily like the intro to a little-known song called "Tapping into the Emotional Void" (recorded by the band Excel in 1989). What really got to me..."
Apparently the joke is on Excel. However, could any riff be more ripped on than the 1950's c-a-f-g progression? Maybe only Twist of Cain/No More Tears/Thorn within.
I think if any member of Excel were to come on this video they would be super pissed off that hardly anyone seems to be appreciating the music and talking about this song but rather arguing about whether or not Metallica ripped this off. I don't wanna sound like a generic douchebag who just spurts, "Shut up n lissun 2 da moosic ppl" on every song they visit but seriously, can we not just drop the discussions/arguments/bitch-fits and listen and talk about this with bringing up Metallica? Thanks.
In my opinion this song and entersandman are different enough so that even if metalica ripped off the riff, it's usage was put to much different effect. and what is the deal, they are both good songs?
¿Who i know Metallica dont Rip Off this Song? Because another 20 bands say the same bullshit "Metallica Rip Off my song" come on, every body knows Kirk write the Sandman Riff at the 3:00 o clock in a Hotel room
Anoteher thing, Listen the second 2:50 That Sounds like YYZ from Rush ¿So... who Rip Off Who?
Hey! I HAVE A PURE FUCKING GENIUS IDEA! How about if you like this better, you shut the fuck up about it and listen to it. If you DON'T like this better than any other similar versions of the song, you shut the fuck up and listen to it. Amazing right!?
@SwantonTHIS Everyone knows Hitler, and he was a piece of shit. Leave my personal opinion alone, and I leave yours. If you like Metallica better, good for you, but don't bother trying to tell me which band is better, fuck off and enjoy the song without worrying about other people's opinion. Peace, and fuck Metallica.
I'm guessing Kirk was probably listening to this album somewhere around the time that he put down the guitar riff for this one.Maybe it was done subconsciously? I can't really say that he intentionally ripped this riff off. But, it is definitely similar for sure .
HAHAHAHAHHA you make me all laugh fuckers, metallica haters, megadeth cock suckers... okay, so anybody can't use any tone, cos you're ripping off black sabbath, this is bullshit, i love this song, but never thought bout metallica when i first heard this, go to hell you all suckers, go suck mustains cock... !! HAHAHAHAHAH
@danyzul you make me laugh even more, black sabbath, lol what do they have to do with this and don't come and say the bullshit everyone says "ThAY stArded DA METHAAAL" because they didn't invent music. And learn to write you dipshit.
@canelitojuan what i really mean, is that you can't use any tone, cos it was used before... okay so anybody can't use that two tones, cos they were used by a band before, if you talk bout metal you can say bout black sabbath, cos we all know they're old, they gotta lotta time playing and stuff... is just the feeling everyone of you looking for something to start bitching bout metallica, why dont you all shut your mouth and start enjoying fucking music, instead complaining bout metallica and stuf
@canelitojuan Classical & Blues Started Metal, Blacc Sabbath just used Tritones Mixed in with blues & heavy distortion, I love blacc sabbath there my favorite band, but honestly What the slaves sang, is the deepest metal, you can ever get. but it indeed, doesnt have anything to do with this song, its great, metallica used riffs from influence, everyone does it, but Excel doesnt get enough credit for their work.
@danyzul if you wanna be honest atrist like bach and bethoven invented metal.... i ean all music came from classical obviously but metal (most of it anyways ) is directly influenced by classical..... especially thrash

@CreepingMetallica91 Like I just explained to the other guy: these "coincidences" are almost never about coincidence, but about being influenced by other song/band. And referring to ur example: any music that u hear nowdays that sounds like something from the 80's is definately NOT a coincidence, but a purposed imitation (or in case of pop music there's a huge chance of a rip off by trying to make "new" hits based on old treasures from the past).

I just got to the part in Dave Mustaine's autobiography where he talks about Enter Sandman and how that riff eerily sounded similar to this one. This song is waaaaaaaaaaay better.

Anyone with half a mind knows that this is played differently on guitar (I know how to play it). Its similarity to Metallica, however, as everything about Metallica has become lately, makes everyone flame Metallica.
Pfft. Listen to "Liar" by Megadeth and "War Pigs" by Black Sabbath. THAT's a rip-off.

From Dave Mustaine's autobiography:
"Then the Black Album came out, and "Enter Sandman" became Metallica's biggest single. Forget for a moment that James and Lars had a history with my songs. Forget that the opening lick to "Enter Sandman" sounded eerily like the intro to a little-known song called "Tapping into the Emotional Void" (recorded by the band Excel in 1989). What really got to me..."

Apparently the joke is on Excel. However, could any riff be more ripped on than the 1950's c-a-f-g progression? Maybe only Twist of Cain/No More Tears/Thorn within.
TheSnareguitar 6 months ago
I think if any member of Excel were to come on this video they would be super pissed off that hardly anyone seems to be appreciating the music and talking about this song but rather arguing about whether or not Metallica ripped this off. I don't wanna sound like a generic douchebag who just spurts, "Shut up n lissun 2 da moosic ppl" on every song they visit but seriously, can we not just drop the discussions/arguments/bitch-fits and listen and talk about this with bringing up Metallica? Thanks.

In my opinion this song and entersandman are different enough so that even if metalica ripped off the riff, it's usage was put to much different effect. and what is the deal, they are both good songs?

Kirk claims that he wrote the riff back when he was in Exodus. The bitch is probably lying.

Hey! I HAVE A PURE FUCKING GENIUS IDEA! How about if you like this better, you shut the fuck up about it and listen to it. If you DON'T like this better than any other similar versions of the song, you shut the fuck up and listen to it. Amazing right!?

@SwantonTHIS Everyone knows Hitler, and he was a piece of shit. Leave my personal opinion alone, and I leave yours. If you like Metallica better, good for you, but don't bother trying to tell me which band is better, fuck off and enjoy the song without worrying about other people's opinion. Peace, and fuck Metallica.

Let's all be fair and reasonable here:
The guitar here is way better,
but James Hetfield's vocals are way better.

I'm guessing Kirk was probably listening to this album somewhere around the time that he put down the guitar riff for this one.Maybe it was done subconsciously? I can't really say that he intentionally ripped this riff off. But, it is definitely similar for sure .

@canelitojuan what i really mean, is that you can't use any tone, cos it was used before... okay so anybody can't use that two tones, cos they were used by a band before, if you talk bout metal you can say bout black sabbath, cos we all know they're old, they gotta lotta time playing and stuff... is just the feeling everyone of you looking for something to start bitching bout metallica, why dont you all shut your mouth and start enjoying fucking music, instead complaining bout metallica and stuf

@canelitojuan Classical & Blues Started Metal, Blacc Sabbath just used Tritones Mixed in with blues & heavy distortion, I love blacc sabbath there my favorite band, but honestly What the slaves sang, is the deepest metal, you can ever get. but it indeed, doesnt have anything to do with this song, its great, metallica used riffs from influence, everyone does it, but Excel doesnt get enough credit for their work.
