and 2 minutes to midnight riff was taken from Divlje jagode( wild strawberies)- an Yugoslovenian band... all is well in ripping and war if they make it unique again ;-)
its so funny where people can find all the way up to this video to put 1 dislike. This is being goin on for all other metal videos i see... those involved in metal video dislikes are faggots!!!!
You know almost every band in the world has a song with the 2 minutes to midnight riff even, it all started long before 2 mins to midnight if I'm not mistaken, venom or Dio... even though everyone has it, it still rocks especially here..rock on rolf \m/
To demonhunter02: Man, you need help!!! I mean - a professional help! If you want so desperatelly to neg with someone, go neg with other person, not with me! WHERE DID YOU SAW IN MY COMMENT TO OFFEND YOU?!? WHERE??? Now who is the real asshole?
lol i don't need help its just you think you know everything when you don't. So you thumb down other people's comments because you think they are wrong when they aren't, now thats bullshit. Bye.
"So we were influenced by JUDAS PRIEST, IRON MAIDEN and English Metal in general until we developed into what we are. And I've been playing with Majk a few years now and we play well together." - Rolf Kasparek, From an interview from the official Running Wild website. Thanks for thumbing down my comment from 6 months ago when I was right all along...assholes. Stay Wild! Sorry about all this confusion.
This was Rolf's answer: "A lot of people have said that. Of course there are bands that you like to listen to and I'm sure that in the beginning, we tried to sound more like JUDAS PRIEST, when we were still amateurs. And we wore leather gear like they did, studs and I used to have handcuffs and stuff like that. It was in the direction of JUDAS PRIEST until we started to develop our own style. When you want to be a professional you can't just keep copying other bands."
In an interview in May, 1989 Rolf Kasparek was asked this question by Dane Kurth: Your voice has the same strength as Rob Halford and also the twin guitars, you and Majk are a bit like Glenn and KK. Was JUDAS PRIEST an idol of yours?
Ok so I was wrong, I apologize, I thought i read somewhere that they got their inspirations from them yes RW are quite different but their song tell stories similar to Iron Maiden and if you wanna get technical RW is my favorite band not Iron Maiden.
So does "Welcome to Hell" by Venom, "Curse of the Pharaohs" by Mercyful Fate, and "Warfare" by Jag Panzer, and those ALL predate the Maiden song. All the songs are great, but it's a simple riff that can be twisted in many ways.
oh and by the way i wasn't wrong when i said that Running Wild was influenced/inspired by Iron Maiden. Go to the official RW website, there is an iterview with Rolf and he said that he was influenced by Judas Priest and IRON MAIDEN. Don't believe me look for yourself. So whoever thumbed down my comment from 6 months ago is an asshole. Stay Wild!
To d14mitev: I didn't say Running Wild stole from Iron Maiden, asshole. Go look at the interviews on the official Running Wild website. Rolf stated that he was influenced by IRON MAIDEN and Judas Priest. I can't stand assholes like you who think they know everything and then thumb down someone's comment because they think their "opinion" is always right. Your the dumbass, not me. Stay Wild!
Sounds a lot like 2 minutes to midnight. But that's all right i still love this song. Running Wild is a great Band.

For me the starting riff looks like Flash Rockin' Man from Accept.
But i don't see any problem,Accept and Running Wild are the best bands of all times. IMO

The first 5 seconds made me think of 2 minutes to midnight :)
But there shouldn't be any fuss about this, since the songs then become completely different =)
