did the misfits copy metallica #metallica

[maksymtaran]

Hettfield said many times that the misfits were a huge inspiration to him and metallica, and they were basically classics before metallice was even a thing

[krutarthpanchal]

Very different chord progressions. Certainly not copied. But could have inspired.

[Ottomedved]

If not stolen, then let’s say inspired by Metallica 100%

[Erg]

Metallica stole from Misfits, Misfits stole from Metallica the cycle restores itself

[axxessmundi]

That 90s line up of the Misfits also borrowed a riff from Corrosion of Conformity "Clean my Wounds"

[bubbacalling]

musician here, it's a common chromatic vocal line. There are thousands of songs that have this.

[Mountaingoat-sk]

Fear of living on….
I think that verse separates them….

[nicolasortiz]

Amo los cover de ambos.. mis dos bandas favoritas de todo el mundo 😊

[NARoTekko]

The micheal graves era of the misfits is very underrated idk why people hate it

[luismoya]

Ese riff James se lo inspiró en una canción de Rush, incluso sale en los créditos.

Very similar. First time hearing Helena second thought after "this song is great" is "it reminds me of Metallica though". Both songs kick ass though so, stolen, heavily inspired by, or cosmic coincidence, I'll still continue to listen to both

[manfrombritain]

when I write music i often come up with a riff that I think is cool... then realise i like it because it's something I've already heard before (or near enough)

[MatesMega]

Even other songs like sad but true which is this means war by avenged sevenfold

[MatheusFernandes-ofdl]

famous monsters have the same riff for practically every song

[edwardbisono]

Loook man I was just fuckin with the 3 power chord progression from orion earlier at a slower tempo and letting the low e string bass out with the chords instead of trying to keep the chords separate an im like man you could prolly right a song to this chord progression alone just needs a good riff.

[ROIDEDCAPS]

THERES ALSO SOME CREEPING DEATH VIBES IN A BIT OF THIS SONG 🎵

[kevindg]

There are only so many riffs, it's pretty common to have a similar riff in different songs, it can be coïncidence or inspiration, probably the latter given Metallica is the biggest metal band since 1991 and Misfits was a Metallica inspiration (they covered a song of them on Garage Inc.)

[alexanderdiaz]

Inspiration %100 and a give back, that's called respect.

[RainyDayBlue]

And Metallica stole that riff from Rush’s Tom Sawyer

[xtvoysidx]

Хетвилд часто говорил что Клиф был фанатом Мисфитс и многое черпал от них.
Скажу больше второй волне популярности, мисфитс обязаны металлике, потому что они их везде продвигали часто упоминая и нося их мерч
