  • kirk hammet ....... HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAA

  • YES, METALLICA STOLE MUSTAINE'S MUSIC, SO IT'S NOT SURPRISING THAT THEY COPY MAIDEN TOO. SOMEBODY SHOULD SUE THAT JOKE OF A DRUMMER CALLED LARS!!

  • it's the same scale, stupid!

  • Who's better..who beats who etc.. IT'S DIFFERENT. I like both, if you need a fight go play with insects. What's better yogurt or flakes? fuck off...

  • fuck u

  • i was expecting fade to black

  • Iron Maiden is way better than Metallica... BUT this isnt copied

  • i agree that iron maiden is better than metallica

  • MAIDEN!!!!!!!!!

  • it's a ver typical serie of chords

    you can't say it's stolen

    many musicians have used it

  • iron maiden rules !!!!!!

    up the irons :)

  • Metallica Rules...

    

  • I think Iron Maiden is better than Metallica but i respect them 'cause they respect Maiden =)

  • @FR2darkflames I'm more into Metallica but I respect Maiden cause they influenced many people and their riffs can be amazing too! It doesn't relly matter what band you're into, You just have to respect the others!

  • no Metallica are way better than iron maiden go die the person who made this vid

  • i like both but the irons are much better for me

  • Not the same... Sounds same because its a similar chord progression. A lot of Maiden and Metallica songs are played in the progression A Minor, G, C, E Minor... Like in Children of the Damned, it also sounds like Fade to Black even though the actual riff is different.

  • I can't belive, good work! the trouth need's to be heard

  • Iron Maiden is better that's true, becaue they can play the same music and also more progressive music. But it's doesn't enable us to insult Metallica. Some people don't like progressive music, they only listen to "simple music" (what I can't understand !). It explains a little why Metallica sold more albums than Iron Maiden I think.

  • This isent being f**fcking influenced its a f****cking ripp off .

  • LOL The Clean intro guitar its like Dont Cry ¬¬

  • they are both great bands and i dont care about it

  • OR... SO DID MAIDEN COPY KANSAS?... NOT, ITS SIMILAR ONLY... lml

  • HEAVY... THRASH... NOT SAME

  • yea similar both great songs though

  • yeah its a bit similar but like THRASHFOREVER420 said its called neing influenced

  • maiden>metallica.

  • quite obviously? lol....bloody english!!!

  • Christ, you put a simple video on YouTube, and people will defend their favourite music to the point of wishing death upon the author.

    You guys should be ashamed of yourselves.

  • I Think, both of them did copy Bach....

  • Nope, in fact you will see how many songs on the radio have similar or identical chord progressions than other previous songs, some more obvious than the others; sometimes you feel like the song will merge into an already known song. Four chord changes, does not leave alo t of room for uniqueness, specially when hundred of thousands of songs are heard every year. I could even say that the example you mentioned sounded a bit like fade to black because of the tempo and arpeggio, but note-wise.

  • The unforgiven??? LoL

    U sholde put Nothing else mathers it would be beter... but u r an asshole in every direction

  • your very naive 

  • ur first ever vid on utube was a pure propaganda ..

  • son escalas hombre pudo ser escalas paresidas o semejante

  • FAIL

    

  • It's only the same rythm,it's not even the same notes dumby

  • No dude. The lick that starts around 0:37 or so is the same as part of the solo from Unforgiven Part II, but then it's a very generic piece of a scale anyway. Most of what you played is not that close at all. Inspired, maybe, but ripped off? No way.

  • have someone heard about inspiration from other bands???, all bands inspire from other and in some songs they use some sounds like the ones the other band use..... I'm a Metallica fan but I know Iron Maiden is better than them and in may opinion it sounds like fade to black than Unforgiven 2

  • this is like, "trolled" just some jeleous shit like always.

  • dude, u r right... it is very similar... BUT, I don't think a band with so much creativity as METALLICA would need 2 copy IRON MAIDEN. OH! & u were right... IRON MAIDEN IS WAY BETTER THAN METALLICA!!!!! UP THE IRONS!!!!!

  • "I hope you liked it" LOL!

  • Metallica is Metallica and Maiden is Maiden. Finish 

  • the songs are very similar. Good observation. I grew up being a huge Metalica fan, but lately I am realizing that Iron Maiden is really great.

  • Who cares

  • Get a fucking job!!!

  • It is being influenced not riff stealing! fucking kids i swear

  • buncha thieves, they got strated by stealing the underground european metal and selling it to the kids in Cali. They NEVER mentioned back then they were mainly a cover band. Deception. Not to mention they used to make fun of iron maiden in interviews and with the ditty of Run to the Hills. they used to say iron maiden was for kids who's parents wouldn't let them listen to metallica. Influence my ass. They are straight up thieves.

  • I hear the similarity in the intros, but that's about it.

  • WHAT THE FUCK?!

    

  • Justice for all is when the changes happened for the worst, never bought another album after that, up the irons

  • The Unforgiven II doesnt sound anything like COTD

  • Just because some deluded fans see some sort of strange "battle" going on between them about which band is better it doesnt change the fact that this was a good find and the pieces ARE very similar. Personally i see this as nothing more than a tribute, like Steel Panther did for about 3 bands in their song "Death to all but metal". Just because you like Metallica it doesnt mean you have to feel the need to defend them by blatently lying about the music not being the same. Just enjoy it.

  • I totally agree.....Metallica sucks after the And justice for all album....Iron Maiden delivers great albums all the time!

    

  • Stop be paranoiac lol ^pé"p^"ép

  • fanboy.. :/

  • Can't we just all agree at how terrible both bands are and how disgusting these shitty metal ballads are?

  • @GruesomeGertie IRON MAIDEN GONNA GET YOU NO MATTER HOW FAR

  • @GruesomeGertie What the fuck?? Iron Maiden "Children of the Damned" is far from being a ballad! And "The Unforgiven II" is an amazing song

  • Metallica sucks so who cares what they do.

  • @timmytapeworm13 I can tolerate their early stuff but now, it really is just noise.

  • @timmytapeworm13 no they dont, fantastic band & very influencial. fo listen to ride the lightening album .

  • Shit!!.. Metallica is a fuckin' band influenced by bands like Diamond Head, Motörhead, Black Sabbath, Venom, Judas Priest, IRON MAIDEN and some others! So I got... that, this is your opinion (a little bit fool) but I disagree as many people do! So It's the same if you compare a new school band like Lazarus A.D or Havok with their influences: Pantera, Metallica, Exodus, etc! Why the influence is ahead??? Judge Objectively! Please man! ;)

  • Sure Maiden is better than Metallica, but this video is just stupid haha

  • Did METALLICA copy IRON MAIDEN????

    no...

  • Simply Iron Maiden and AC/DC are better than Metallica

  • @maiden205rally

    could not agree more with you :D

  • Comment removed

  • You might have a good ear, play guitar and use your ears and you'll see.

  • E minor is a popular key for rock guitar, no this isn't copied at all.

    These songs are all in E minor so sound harmonic with each other.

    Keep playing, rock on.

    Anyone who plays guitar can vouch for this.

  • Realmente, porém os próprios membros co Metallica dão entrevistas falando que se inspiram no Iron Maiden.

  • umm i guess a little bit of it was the same,not totally but i would like to commend on how u found out the similarity becoz it takes a good pair of ears and sum1 wh o has listened to metal in the past to do that

  • Nothing similar, I think you should die

  • @cicerodm I think you are a fan boy of Metalica !

  • @juanelo267 I think that you should know how to write Metallica

  • Yes,they did!!!

  • it's called being influenced dumbshit

  • @THRASHFOREVER420 I agree the influence, but Rage somewhere else.

  • Metallica is not Hevay metal, thrash metal, speed metal or any other kind of metal, they have become pop musicians and has made nothing good since the black album.

  • @LordOfGreatness i have liked all metallica albums but lulu (and that doesn't count)

  • Metallica no es Thrash... el k dice que es Thrash simplemente no sabe lo k es. Y sobre las canciones, pues no, no creo que le aya copiado, aunque si se parecen, simplemente fue una COINCIDENCIA. De todas formas, bien se sabe que Iron Maiden es por muchisimo mejor que metallica

  • don feck all orininal since Cliff died

  • WTF? No way! :D

  • this is stupid - the part of unforgiven 2 that actually sounds like that part of iron maiden's song children of the damned, - it's not in the video! Rather, it's intro that doesn't sounds the same at all... WTF?

  • It's funny because Iron maiden took the riff from Jimi hendrix, a merman I should turn to be.

  • Hell No! Metallica is thrash metal,as Maiden is heavy metal

  • @iamtheclansman Thrash metal is a sub genre of heavy metal

  • I suggest that you refrain from making any further videos.  This plainly is just not very good. Kind regards ...

  • @a7xslipknotx7a "influenced"....then y does Metallica take the piss out of maiden at their concerts? thats not how u repay a band which influenced you :/

  • @sugababe1231 I reckon it's more banter than taking the piss. It's making fun of someone in a way where it doesn't mean anything. On the actual video though. I think they sound quite similar but then again, Metallica were inspired & also I'd imagine (not saying that I know) that writing a song which sounds completely unique is quite a tall order

  • its not the same fucktard

  • dear uploader, you are an idiot!

  • yea at first it sounded alot like fade to black but you cant say that metallica "copied" iron maiden. metallica was getting heavy influence by iron maiden and i wouldnt be suprised if a few songs sounded similar and idc because they are on the top of my list of fav. bands

  • They stole(certainly on purpose. Surely it couldn't be coincidential) the first three notes. Congratulations, detective.

  • no metallica copied metallica,,metallica unforgiven 2 was a copy of unforgiven1

  • how about all the bands that copy Metallica ? trivium is heavily influenced by Metallica maybe you should a whinny beatch video that.

  • This is stupid!

    Maiden just influenced Metallica but,for Gods shake, Metallica didnt copy them!

    anyway there surely the 2 best metal bands so stfu and listen to their epic music wihout comparing them

  • what bull is this??both bands rock in their own way...and u can pull out a million riffs dat sound similiar from various bands...this aint a genre as free as jazz for example.....Besides, All of Iron Maiden's songs sound similiar...Metallica on the other hand are way more versatile with their broken timings and rythms...each of their albums have a distinct feel as opposed to Maiden's uniform formular which has been used for decades,, no progression.....just appreciate each band for their own...

  • what a fucking loser

  • who gives a fuck there two legendary bands just support metal and stop crying !!!!!

  • do i look like i care.... it may sound similar.... but i dont give a fuck! i love metallica.... i'm not trying to say anything ill abt maiden though....

  • i'm 100% agree that iron maiden is much bettter than metallica , but they didn't stole the riff, is just a coincidence , for example: the begining of 2 minutes to midnight by maiden sounds very similar to welcome to hell by venom , and another example : the begining of witches dance sounds very similar to the chorus of symphony of destruction by megadeth

  • brave new world looks like the single cover for creeping death

  • i like both of them and, i treat each one equally. SAo i don't really care :3

  • Considering Metallica's past of ripping off other people for all of their hits, it wouldn't be surprising.

  • I like both Maiden & 'Tallica but I have to agree with this one. The first time I heard The Unforgiven II I was actually thinking "Holy shit that riff sounds like Children Of The Damned!.." I like both songs very very much but I prefer Children of the damned.

  • this video = facepalm

  • I never noticed this! I DID notice that when Cliff Burton died, Metallica went to shit, they never recovered + I think they just decided to keep on going, like a ghost of what they were. Metallica fucking suck now! They should quit. I especially hate Lars. So ignorant, and so full of himself.

  • error 505!!!!!!!!!!

  • dude artists use each others riffs to make their songs........we cant be hating in each other....we have to hate the true biters.....hip hop.....

  • Maiden is all too consistent and boring in my opinion, you can buy an album and only 2-3 songs are worth it, rest are just fillers, and I know all of Maiden's albums, so don't even say I haven't listened to it. Metallica for me is way more unique. Oh by the way, this does sound kinda alike, but could easily be a coincidence.

  • @MasterofKnees como eres pendejo ¬¬

  • NO SHIT BITCHES!!!!!!! METALLICA, MEGADETH, BULLET FOR MY VALENTINE ALL LEARNED FROM IRON MAIDEN!!!! METALLICA IS STILL GOOD AND ROCKIN!!! IM A MEGADETH FAN BUT THEY ALL GOT WHERE THEY ARE BECAUSE OF IRON MAIDEN!!!

  • yes!

  • A definite Maiden rip-off by Metallica. They just play it in another key with a few minor changes. It also sounds a little like Fade to Black also.

  • people here are getting fixated with the idea that "Metallica copied Iron Maiden", but hasn't anyone thought that Iron Maiden is not THE most original band on earth? by this i mean that they must have recieved influences from someone else, that other "someone" from another person, and so on. we could go on forever, but the truth is that the real geniuses that inspired even the greatest like beethoven are now long gone, and that if we, as musicians are copying some one, it'd be THEM.

  • METALLICA RULES !

  • right man metallica is a f...ing copy paste of iron maiden

  • Actually, they're both, at least, inspired in Hendrix's "1983 (A Merman I Should Turn to Be)"

  • The guy who uploaded this video is paraplegic.And probably dead by now.

  • guys you cant compare metallica to iron maiden coz these are tho different band. besides iron maiden is not heave metal its some kind of rock so theres really no point to argue.

  • @superpiekarnik You're a fuckin idiot, Iron Maiden was part of the NWOBHM (New Wave of British Heavy Metal) movement along with bands like Def Leppard, Judas Priest, Saxon, and many more, yes they are metal.

  • similar but i doubt metallica copied iron maiden

  • METALLICA

  • DamageInom its not too much time Its way too much cRAP and cHIP cHOP and gangSTER bull shit for these under educated about music DIP SHITS to know what real fan appreciation is. Notice how those ppl never get compared to one another Its because those ppl are hard to tell the difference between themselves.

  • I love both bands, and I love both songs, but they both sound like Jimi Hendrix's '1983'.

  • sounds similar to a part in fade to black by metallica

  • thats like the difference between dogs and wolves thats how close they are.. btw thats not that close

  • That's not called copying, it's called using the same notes...everyone does it.

  • I hate people fighting over senseless and endless discussions... there are millions of people who think metallica is better and other millions that think otherwise... I personally prefer metallica but I would not blame anyone for prefering iron maiden instead. Both bands are awesome and I feel lucky to be able to apreciate their amazing music. Is there a sense in this discussion?? are people really gonna change their minds for saying one is better than other?? Save your time on something usefull

  • fuck metallica

  • I don't think so. But I prefer The Unforgiven II.

  • metallica copy iron maiden?? lol!! are you nuts??

  • YOU ARE ALL WRONG. THEY DO SOUND THE SAME BUT NOT FOR THE REASONS YOU HIGHLIGHTED. FOR THE FACT THAT THEY ARE FROM THE SAME TIME PERIOD AND GENRE.

  • Megadeth copies no one.

  • i think it isn't copy, i had to admit that i love metallica and maiden isn't my favourite band bue DamagelncM say it thats only inspiration

  • METALLICA..DOG SHIT.

  • I think that song from Iron Maiden it's played in Metallica's style.

  • Iron Maiden is awesome, but IT IS NOT BETTER THAN METALLICA. Nothing is better than Metallica, its a facts it was even in the tv this morning !

  • metalica solo pulling teeth is very similar with maiden solo the prisoner, and maiden is much better!!

  • Well imo every kinda riff and what not has more than likely been played before, by someone. to quote james hetfield 'we borrow inspiration from others too. It's how you digest it and it comes out your own way' i like what he said there, really true :) rock on all!!

  • both of them are Monster...

  • Sounds more like fade to black

  • nobody copied nobody some riffs just sound alike

  • You idiot! FADE TO BLACK is a copy of Children of the Dammed!!!! In fact, it's the same song in another tone

  • @MrTundra888 Actually Lars himself admitted that Remember Tomorrow was the song for Fade to Black.What can you say I think it is not a crime to copy the best fuckin band ever but something to be encourage and it is better If metallica copy and make songs like fade to black rather than load reload and st anger shit

  • in the children of the damned v unforgiven 2 who ripped of what, i think if you do a search for jimi hendrix 1983 a merman i should turn to be, from electric ladyland 1968, and have a listen to the start youll see where iron maiden may have been 'inspired' in the first place. so much music sounds alike its hard to say really if its a rip off, a tribute, or just if they happened to write somthing that sounds similar to something else

  • If its solely on your opinion then no one gives a fu.ck about ur opinions.

  • yeah...children of the damned IS one of maiden's hits... -.-

  • i don't see much of a similarity in the songs really. I do see Metallica ripping off an older Metallica instead of writing a new song...

  • @LaZdiZorro maiden sucks? are you insane? you may not like but you have to agree maiden is one of the greatest metal bands ever

  • @LaZdiZorro LOL fail.

  • fade to black sounds more like this than anything

  • you cant be serious.... you are dumb man....

  • Metallica sucks after their 4th album. They went from thrash metal to heavy country.

  • they are using the same note/chord progression, but if you consider this copy, everyone should stop creating music, cuz it's all been done before

  • Incorrect. Both of these songs are, in fact, inspired by Jimmi Hendrix.

  • sera x ke metallica esta influenciado x maiden sako guea??..ya ke es una de sus bandas favoritas!!

  • @L4mun3 no, resulta ser que el riff es de jimmi hendrix, y una cosa es influencia, otra cosa es las mismas notas con los mismos tempos

    

  • negative ..

  • there are millions if not billions of songs in the world and there's quite a long gap between when number of the beast came out and when re-load came out. Its much more likely this is coincidence.

  • Metallica is great, but Maiden rules metal.

  • YES METALLICA COPYED IRON FUCKING MAIDEN!!!

  • influenced maybe almost every metal band have been influenced by maiden at some point copied no, metallica and iron maiden are much different stylistically , better is a matter of opinion and what you like personally they're both great bands i like em both i don't see why i or anyone else would ever have to choose between em isn't it possible to like both at the same time if i choose to? it's annoying the way some people always have to rate everything i like both equally for different reasons :)

  • notes are seven...it's impossible to create ever an original sound...

  • stop bitching about which band is better you pussies. only a bunch of posers that dont have a slightest idea what rock'n'roll is about would say metallica, iron maiden or any other legendary band sucks. and another thing you don't understand is they play different genres of metal, but that seems too hard for you to see

  • I prefer Iron Maiden, but I still don't see this as a copy - far too many differences here, in a time when many bands used the same cliches in their writing anyway...

  • Are you drunk?

  • Metallica and Iron Maiden is still the best
