Sum 41's "The Bitter End" of their new album sounds exactly like "Battery" by Metallica. It's uncanny.

 

Bands copy each other all the time these days.

Metallica ruined their image long ago, so I could care less about some MTV "punk" band "stealing" riffs or something to an old 80s song.

 

its not just a riff. The singing, the music. Everything!

 

Who cares?

If you're that insulted by it, don't listen to the song.

 

i'm not insulted. I just thought you'd be ineterested because it has an uncanny resemblance to Battery, but if you don't care then thats you.

 

Well, do you know how many bands copy other bands?

Nirvana did it. Everyone does it.

I don't think it's a big deal, but that's just me.

EDIT: And for the record...wow. That song is horrible.

 

if you have heard Battery, did you hear the resemblance?

 

Yeah I've heard it.

I still don't care, but if they're going to steal the whole song basically, atleast do it properly.

 

its no where near the greatness of Battery but i think its a decent song. Probably because it sounds exactly like Metallica

 

Sum41 has said in many interviews that they wish they were a metal band. They've taken a step in the wrong direction by jacking da beats, homie.

 

Wishing they were a metal band?

There's something terribly wrong with that statement, but I can't seem to point out what and why..

 

Maybe hair metal?

No, about wishing they were a different genre.

 

well do u think (for ex.) that the Nike company works so hard to make Nike Shoks and then you see a genarick brand at payless cheaper??? this is a bad world!!!

 

I guess it's not a big deal if they had permission to use the riffs. It doesn't bother me much. I never heard "Battery" anyway. :chemist:

And for the record... the Sum41 song isn't that bad.

 

I've never heard that song you are talking about, but I think that song sounds pretty good.

That has nothing to do with Sum41

 

Sum 41 - I'm not the one

The first verse sounds like something from limp bizkit. Then the bridge has the linkin park type thing.

Just pointing stuff out. Overall though, I thought Chuck was a pretty decent record.
