  • OK the Roach always tried to deny it, but A7X has always embraced/ admitted their Iron Maiden influence along with their GnR influence, so good for them I don't see aproblem. Maybe when some of you "Scene Nazis" grow up a little you'll realize that EVERY SOUND in the universe from a guitar string to a pen falling on the floor can only make 1 of 12 tones/ notes. That pretty much mathematically eliminates every song from the last 100 years as being "original".

  • Just one more proof that avenged sevenfold is a shame for music, and those fuckign gay-ass kids they have as fans are the worst...

  • um not really the same dumb ass. Similar chord progression but thats about it lol

  • When Last Resort by Papa Roach came out I knew right away that was a Maiden Rip Off .. Ghengis Kahn and Transylvania and thats the maiden sound ... But AS more influential riffs not ripping of

  • wow they sound exactly the same! except they don't at all!

  • Iron maiden is so old... A7X will foREVer be better!

  • @predator267 go die

  • @predator267 That's a very ignorant statement. They've accomplished more than any metal band not named "Metallica."

    I'm sure even the guys in A7X wouldn't DARE put themselves in Maiden's class.

    You'll be old one day too...hopefully you'll have some achievements to be proud of.

  • Hey, hey dickface! Get a life and get a brain as well. Iron Maiden - Metal / Heavy Metal; Avenged Sevenfold - Core / Metalcore. Now grow a dick and go bury yourself.

  • you idiot,you can hear a big difference,and thats something called being inspired by great musicians

    and by making this video, you clearly declare yourself an idiot trying to be clever and trying to find a way to show us that a7x suck,well it didnt work:

    for the solos part,you could've showed us the solo in afterlife,scream,or second heartbeat

    meaningless video bro

  • 2:50 that isn't the solo. Listen to the song. The screamo solo at the end is the guitar solo.

  • A7X rips off Death and allot of other great bands as well...

  • They sound extremely similar, yes. But why not? Hell if I was in a band, I'd rip off Iron Maiden too. They're the best band ever. Be happy A7x isn't sounding like Madonna or someone, they sound like Maiden..what's wrong with that?

  • please be a troll video because the only way you can not tell the difference between these two songs is if your deaf

  • I'm not excusing A7X, but what modern metal band hasn't ripped off Maiden? They're too ubiquitous and have created too many awesome riffs to not be ripped off.

  • Would it be considered trolling if i was to say that this is further proof as to why Avenged Sevenfold suck balls?

  • if anything i think Maiden inspired A7X. because both bands are awesome.

  • Minor scale...major scale...Next video, please.

  • dude thats normal sumtimes i write music then realize it sounds like another song,a7x rules they wer succefull b4 ur so called rip off u fag

  • your a fucking fag a7x rocks

  • Comment removed

  • The only similar things here are drums. Really, only the first two riffs are just a little bit similar, the rest are completely different. I'm composing music for my own and every time I invent a new riff it's a bit similar to another song. It doesn't change the thing - Irons are the greatest band ever.

  • ahah if you can't hear a difference probably you have hearing problems !

  • OMG THEY USED SOME OF THE SAME NOTES THAT MY FAVORITE BAND DID!!! HOW DARE THEY!!!

  • ohh i see now..you're trying to prove to us that you're deaf..good job! you succeeded

  • why do people refer to synester gates as the greatest guitarist ever? idiots

  • Yes, one song that they supposedly ripped off from iron maiden that isn't even popular got them famous :/

  • Mm, thats NOT a solo, is just a guitar break you stupid idiot, and this is not called ripping off, becouse in the music, 2 songs can be similar becouse of the scales they use -.-

  • oh cool there would be no music if ppl dident copy each other you would know that if you relly liisened to music

  • duh... those melodies don't even sound the same AT ALL, if that's what this vid's comparing

  • @blobliblo35 oh wait, sry, now i understand this was meant to compare 0:12 with 1:31, while those parts sounds similar, they aren't the same, a7x's sounds darker and it's structured really differently.

  • Ahh at least Maiden is good and did something for music. While A7X did nothing but put out shitty albums and kill a bad drummer, which I guess is a good thing. Now if it only were to happen to the rest of them...

  • @RiceKiller191 dude, it's cool if you don't like the band, but why disrespect someone who passed away and by the way, was a great drummer. why would you wish for someone to die if you don't like their music? calm down.

  • @kitkatshadows666 The Rev was voted one of the best drummers in the world, and he also got a golden god award for best drummer ;p

  • @nerbwalk3r exactly.. :D

  • Well ,if you dont think thats a good solo by Avenged Sevenfold, then go listen to their other song's solos because you dont know shit.

  • Funny thing is that A7x and maiden are my 2 fav bands! :D

  • I didn't know that one guy could actually be THAT stupid, the two songs sound nothing like each other apart from the fucking drum beat, one was heavier with dual guitars, one was not as heavy and had a different fucking riff and just for the record, not all rock/metal songs need a big solo, just a steriotype.

  • Comment removed

  • I love how when bands like Evile or Muncipal Waste have riffs similar to older bands all these "Metalheads" say, "I can hear the inspiration!!!!" But when bands like A7x and Bfmv write similar riffs, they criticize them saying "They stole the riffs!! Sue the fuckin poseurs!!!" lol its flabberghasting.....

  • Well, I don't know nothing about scales. But the songs sounds too much like Maiden. If I want to listen to Maiden songs, I'll put a Maiden album. I really don't know why this guys are so famous, maybe because Metalcore is the new fashion...

  • @Gard3n208 this actually came out about 8 years ago.. and avenged sevenfold plays music that sounds nothing like that album anymore.. so maybe a little.. but as for them.. when they got really popular they have already went mainstream.. which is more of a straight of metal/ hard rock sound..

  • @AngryChair02 hahaha, nice come back what are you 6? C: Some sweet. Run along now. Don't let mommy find out you were on her computer leaving mean comments on youtube. Ha.

  • Look at at all these Avenged Sevenfaggots crying over a video. Laughing out loud! What a bunch of faggot trolls.

  • If A7X ripps on Iron Maiden, Iron Maiden ripps of bands Like Led Zeppelin

  • @DJofSWE2 i dont think maiden ripped off zeppelin. zeppelin sucks

  • @ImmortalSpammer hey! zepplin inspired a lot of famous artists.

  • @ImmortalSpammer so maiden didn't ripp on zeppelin just because you think zeppelin sucks? stop be so damn narrowminded and see the facts that no music is original these days. all bands ripps on other bands before them, and bands before them.

  • @DJofSWE2 ok give me an example of iron maiden ripping led zeppelin.

  • @ImmortalSpammer *facepalm* it was an example... I just took a classic band for an example

  • @DJofSWE2 it wasnt an example idiot. you clearly said it. "so maiden didn't ripp on zeppelin just because you think zeppelin sucks?"

  • I wish people would just stop comparing things to other things. Yes, as you probably have already read in previous comments, Avenged Sevenfold is influenced by Iron Maiden. You're parents and school teachers taught you had to speak? STOP RIPPING them OFF! Seriously, this whole thing is so childish. People who hate a7x always complain that the fans are whiny 11 year old emo bitches/fags, yet they won't stop whining about how much they hate this "gay" band. Grow the fuck up, and find a hobby!

  • WTF is wrong with you? the stuff is similar but stop hating,they are both amazing bands,so piss off faggot

  • your really bitching about one song and incorrectly labeling great job.. and iron maiden was one of their influences so they will sound like them in a few of their songs.. they just wanted to play something like that its not even serious guy

  • Well A7X is influenced by em derp.

  • avenged cockfold sucks ass and is an excuse for 11 year old emo fags to listen metal, when that is totally fake metal.

  • wtf thats not even the solo for chapter four, this guy is a fag

  • wow, the person who made this is mentally retarded xD haha BIG TIME..

  • i hear yhe same tone and thats just abut it and popa roch is way off from iron maden sorry grow some eras

  • its kinda hard not to rip off iron maiden..... they are IRON MAIDEN!

  • I can here similarities but I can with lots of different songs. They're no where near the same...

  • This thread is so entertaining that I actually have to make my first post in a year. First thing, I grew up on Iron Maiden, just so you know. A7X are far from untalented, believe me. I've been a musician for 30 years and these songs are nothing at all alike, believe me. As far as the Papa Roach, you can pick up influences even subliminally as a musician. I wrote a song with that exact riff about 15 years ago and joked about Papa Roach ripping me off. It's actually from a Motley Cure song.

  • "Motley Crue", that is. "Piece of your Action". And finally, no one is going to get "rich" borrowing solos and musical passages. It's the song that sells the music, not a 20-second run.

  • @jerichowiz This video is pointless, because we all know that Avenged Sevenfold will NEVER be as good as the all mighty Iron Maiden

  • you are a fuckin idiot i know both songs on guitar and they are so very different you cant tell the diffrence my ass

  • Who the fuck cares if its a solo? I was clearly ripped off by those unoriginal talentless peices of shit.

  • and that wasn't the solo, that was more of like a melody. if you wanna hear a good solo by them go listen to the solo for god hates us or afterlife.

  • they are similar but not the same. besides, the drums in chapter four makes it sound very very different.

  • talk about overly critical... they're different... and in this day and age having something slightly similar is a compliment not copyright infringement... take it easy hater... wheres your song inspired by the maiden?????????

  • Jesus fucking Christ, Iron Maiden was one of the biggest influences to A7X

  • First of all, most of the A7X song is minor and the Maiden was Major, but all that aside, you're saying that if a band uses a scale that has been used by another band, it's a total ripoff. Also, how is A7X  "trying to get famous" by ripping off Iron Maiden? By the time Waking the Fallen was out, A7X was already huge.

  • @zfelps The only difference between major and minor is what note of the scale the melody uses as the root. It gives it a slightly different sound. The point is that the melodies are extremely similar. Whether it's major or minor is really irrelevant.

  • @My6G72T Good point, I'm learning thoses different scales and modes on guitar

  • @My6G72T Yeah good point, I'm learning major and minor scales for guitar, like phrygian, aeolian, and mixolidian.It bassically changes one note in the scale as the modes change, but it's still the same key.

  • @zfelps You're right Iron maiden's solo's are more major sounding, which is actually kind of wierd cause metal is usually minor pentatonic

  • @zfelps What your saying is one is in Major and one is in Minor, but they use the same scale? You don't know what your saying... Trying to act smart LOL

  • ...man. Look please tell me you're joking. The first part I could see barely because the first THREE notes were similar. Then it was a completely different riff that may or may not have been influenced (Like thats a big deal anyways). The rest did not sound similar at all? Different tempo, different notes, structure...I think you might literally be tone deaf, man. Also that last was not a solo whatsoever. It's already been said but damn!

  • @peepo9000 Well put x) Janick rules!!!!!

  • haha what do u xoect from A7x man... de r tryin to rip of thegr8est band ever iron maiden dey hav rely gone nuts...

  • Can you die? That's all I'm asking...

  • They don't even sound remotely the same..

  • Your stupid this was avenged sevenfolds earlier albums of course it may sound like they're influences!

  • YOUR A FUCKING, IDIOT,

  • @dirkthedick *You're a fucking idiot.

  • first of all...sure the intros sound a little similar except theres way more depth in Chapter Four's intro. and second, that "solo"...not a solo my friend, listen to the solos in To End the Rapture, Beast and the Harlot, Nightmare, Victim, Second Heartbeat...those are real Avenged Sevenfold solos, rather than a transition that you somehow mistake for a solo

  • You would expect Iron Maiden to complain first, no?

  • this idiot confused the shit out of me...how does papa roach sound anything like a7x or iron maiden????

  • Um I see your point but those riff are only similar, not exact. I personally say iron maiden are better, but I guess avenged sevenfold are pretty good. They have some awesome songs, although all of iron maidens are awesome :P

  • just because these fucking assholes cant do what avenged sevenfold does, they have to rip on them, well geuss what, all you haters can just go fuck yourselfs just because your can't do what thy all do

  • Iron maiden are probably one of the biggest infuences for a7x

  • There is only so many strigs on a guitar :/

  • actually last resort is a ripp off of a part of the harmony guitars in infinite dreams.

    to many off´s in one sentence.

  • It's called inspiration dick head learned to know the fuckin difference

  • iron maiden=$100,metallica=$150,ave­nged sevenfold=priceless,point being fuck i.m. they are no longer around,metallica they r good and still kickin a lil bit,a7x on the other hand is fresh and original

  • errrrrrrrrmmmmmmm....... its a little thing called insparation my friend, not ripoff

  • this dont even sound the same you fuck. maybe you should a little bit about guitars and the different scales before you go rippin on A7X. also, with all of the hundreds of different bands out there, it's almost impossible to come up with 100% original music before chances are the song you're making on guitar probably sounds like another song that has already been made a song and got asked if it was thunderstruck by AC/DC when i havent listened to a single AC/DC song in my entire life.

  • Iron maiden = GOD

    A7X = DOG

    Period,

  • @norranun exactly my thought. a7x is a fuckin glam band

  • That was a cute video and all but A7X beats IM in every way.

  • 1. iron maiden sucks dick

    2. thats not the solo for chapter four, its the melody

    3. avenged sevenfold is better anyway

    good day.

  • @XxAwDuncanxX your sir are an idiot A7X blows Up the fuckin Irons. Your mother would be ashamed if she saw that comment.

  • are you tone deaf?

  • thats what happens when you play your music in quarter note triplets,,which most bands do,,making them sound the same.

  • this dude didn't even put the right titles to the songs before they began playing ahah

  • You are a motherfucking asshole who knows nothing about music I hope you fucking die its called influence you stupid son of a bitch not ripping off.

  • Lolfail.

    There are only so many chords, notes, ect for guitar. Some are bound to sound similar.

  • Ther's only so many notes on a guitar...

    And yes, that was a solo. Dumbass.

  • A7X + Iron Maiden = NOT RIVALS!! two legendary bands, and Iron Maiden alone with Pantera were A7X inspirations. Stupid pointless video.

  • woooow

    hear that song o papa roach and later hear the song of iron maiden ghenghis khan

  • 2:49. That isn't the solo from Chapter 4.

  • apparently ur not a musician cause if u were u would understand that in this day in age its hard to write something original that actually sounds good and not like shit

  • avenged copyfold

  • My friend, you need your hearing checked.

  • both songs are off of a pentatonic scale the only difference is ones major and the other is minor, and theyre both in different keys. so no they didnt rip them off, and iff thats your argument then your screwed bc alotta bands use that scale. OH and non-a7x fans below who talk shit...burn in hell, and dont listen to music bc your opinions suck and dont matter at the same time, so shut up mmk? thanks

  • they just used them as inspiration look at black veil brides one of their songs sound close to unholy confession by avenged sevenfold

  • well avenged sevenfold is shit and are a bunch of retarded, talentless, dumbasses, and iron maiden is well.. FUCKING AMAZING, so point made, a7x and their fans are idiots who are just full of shit and when some one talks bad about them they get into a hissy fit cause they know were right and they wanna look as badass as possible listening to "badass" music, and well iron maiden fans are just the biggest badasses in the world cause they know good music, and if you like both, you have some brains

  • You are such a retard! There isn't even a7x music in this video! Hahahaha nice way to show us that it is exactly the same! Tell you what loser? If you use the music of 1 band only....IT IS THE SAME!!!! Hahahahahahaaha. Just get a life or something

  • This is fucken stupid xD they sound nothing a like you can't hear a difference bullshit

  • The "solo" for Chapter four isnt a solo, it is a melody, with two guitars harmonizing, solo means 1, not 2. its called an interlude which is a transition from on verse to another. The actual solo from chapter four is ONE guitar. if you wanna listen, the solo in that song is 4:23 to 4:50. suck my dick hater and get your shit straight

  • @TheWrathOfChickens Wow finally someone who listens to A7x and actually knows about music, good job

  • god dammit. completely different feeling I get when I listen to the clairvoyant and chapter four. good bands have thier own styles and those don't sound NEARLY the same

  • Are you fucking retarded? That wasn't the clairvoyant, that was chapter 4! You got ur songs mixed up shithead. And besides, they sound nothing alike.

  • No offense to anyone, but I never liked A7X. I wish they sounded MORE like Iron Maiden. Or were Iron Maiden.

  • Woah look at you you faggot ass dipshit! Those aren't even a7x songs. FUCK YOU. people like you make this NoobTube so fuck off. God peope like youu should just go die... kbye. You clearly have no life. What the hell is wrong with you. If you don't like a7x go die in your mom's hole, or just go have someone curbstomp you in the face because you are worthless. Stop making false video's on avenged Sevenfold k?

  • @GothicEmoChick18 That actually was an Avenged Sevenfold song... Not in the beginning, but if you pay attention, he switches the pictures with the song. So, it was.

  • You would disable your ratings smh man instead of ripping on a band find something else to do. go out, get a gf, and have happy life sh*t they never told "hey man come check are song and tell us what it sounds like" we don't care obviously your worse than the ppl ripping on justin beiber i couldn't give af if he's dating selena gomez ok sh*t im tired of lil pricks talking smack of artists

  • there are millions of songs in the world that sound the same, your a fucking idiot, both amazing bands, so stop hatin.

  • what the fuck. how is this plagiation? the rhythm is different, notes in the melody are different, different chord progression. Shit, the other one is in major while the other one is minor! anyone who thinks that there is any particular resemblance with these two riffs have no ear for music what so ever.

    Btw, both bands suck dicks.

  • No matter what you say or do, no-one will switch to hating A7X because of you're video. All you guys who make these videos, you have no friends, your parents neglect you, you look for attention, and your only way of doing so, is making videos about the smallest similarities between songs and exaggerating them to make it look like A7X are a bunch of unoriginal faggots. You are wrong. In the words you speak, and your logic.

  • SOUNDING EXACTLY THE SAME WITH DIFFERENTLY TUNED GUITARS=/= INFLUENCE.

    Want an excuse for to save face for your shitty uninspired band. Being influenced it different that just plain playing it over again. Do you think the musical notes are different? Didn't think so. Fuck you and your fagmetal.

  • @maplestories23

    Fail? Iron Maiden's riff is in Major, Avenged's riff is in Minor... Inspiration comes in all shapes and sizes, even the biggest bands get away with it.

  • @SixFeetTooShallow Same notes, way to take something out of context.

  • The problem isn't them blatently ripping off I think it's the fact that a lot of metal songs sound the same. Their are different accents on different notes but virtually all metal is in the same key, have similar riffs. I love metal but this is kind of a problem.

  • We all know Avenged Sevenfold were influenced by Iron Maiden, they did a cover of Flash Of The Blade from Iron Maiden's Powerslave album

  • Jerichowiz, yer a fucking jerk

  • It's not a rip off, it's called tribute music.

    Where you give tribute to a band you lie, by playing one of their songs.

  • bullshit

  • I Love avenged sevenfold

  • I like all the kids who deny it sounds extremely similar. Pro-tip: all that level of distortion won't help your "sick" band sound any better.

  • suck my dick

  • "Influences"

    Bullfuckingshit. If you're influenced by a band, you don't copy down their exact goddamn riffs and just change the fucking tone. You listen to their sound and you fucking incorporate it into your own. Fucking dumbass A7X fanbitches. Musically inept, every single one of you.

  • just because iron maidens drummer is not even half the drummer THE REV was doesnt me you throw a bitch-fit. and just so everyone knows. that was M-SHADOWS insapration. hes talked about it in interviews.

  • YOU JUST SUCK ofc maiden was a big influence for them but they completly owned iron maiden ahahah

  • You don't understand music theory whatsoever. Avenged Sevenfold is heavily influenced by bands such as Iron Maiden, and the argument you made between these two bands could be made between hundreds of others. Do you understand how many artists and songs that have been made sound similar to one another? I'm sorry man, but don't post things like this when you clearly have no background in understanding music and are clearly ignorant.

  • Tons of people are inspired by Iron Maiden. Even Lady Gaga likes them, and I'm not making that up. Avenged Sevenfold can't even be compared to Iron Maiden, because they are 2 very different styles of Heavy Metal. I don't really like Avenged Sevenfold or any bands like that. I love Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, and just about any NWOBHM, along with Manowar, who is from America, and I like a lot of other music too.

  • Who the fuck is papa roach???

  • wtf popa roaches is similar just at a slower tempo but a7x's was waaay different. i would know i can play both riffs

  • This is retarded bands take other bands stuff and change up a little bit theirs no harm done for instance the band "The Doors" one of the greatest bands of all time admitted to taking a riff from a song called shake your money maker they didnt steal anything they just use it as inspiration and switch it up a bit

  • This is fuckin stupid

  • Hahaha and look where Papa Roach are now. God what a horrible memory. Uck

  • Lol to the idiot that cant hear a difference get your ears checked

  • awww its ok. nobody takes avenged sevenfold seriously anyway. they're like Lamb of God, for kids LOL

  • LOL AvengedcockyFold! Classic!

  • none of them even sound similar douche. just maybe because they share the same scales

  • @kahyeow you're in denial. get an ear.

  • your an idiot because when u compared the solos, that wasnt even an a7x solo, it was a riff....... but i know i know, thier guitar riffs are so epic u think thier solos bc thier better then the solos in the gay ass bands you listen to

  • they dont sound even remotely similar

  • Avenged Sevenfold already admitted that they got a lot of their inspiration from Iron Maiden....and even if I prefer Avenged Sevenfold...who the fuck are you to tell me what I think? This goes out to all those fuckin haters...you like Iron Maiden? great! Just dont even try to tell me who I like

  • "You call that a solo?" No you call that a riff, it happens like three times in the song...

  • Dude anyone who has looked up to a band may sound like em alil bit in certain things they do, they wana be like em its not rippin off, 1 its not the same exact thing and 2 its a complete different sound man

  • looking of your comments... I am deeply disappointed... How could any of you ever say avenged sevenfold is better than maiden? That's like saying metallica is better than megadeth, or neil diamond is better than king diamond, or arch enemy is better than exodus, or mutiny within is better than dream theater. I can go on and on, but no matter how you put it, it is straight out blasphemy!

  • @yjm526 Iron maiden is better than avenged sevenfail

  • @lronmaidenRgods Very much so agreed. I was just stating that it shouldn't even be a question on which one is better.

  • you must be retarded and tonedeaf

  • if you actually knew anything about music you would realize that they are in different key..... sounding the same is not the same as ripping off a song lol

  • lol@ the stupid fanboys who think avenged and papa roach are better then iron maiden... avenged and papa roach would not EXIST if it wasnt for maiden

  • If Avenged Sevenfold ripped anything off of Iron Maiden, then Iron Maiden would have sued them and won money...... dip shit.

  • A7X IS BETTER!!

  • @thewhitegirlblues that just the dumbest thing i've ever heard

  • @ndgambella No it's my opinion. Iron Maiden is good, but they have nothing on the best band in the world bro.
