10 Classic Rock Bands That Ripped Off Themselves

When you first taste success, there's always an inkling to want to do the same thing over again. Since the audience liked this song so well the first time, they'll like it even more when you give them another one, right? In theory, that should work, but you just have to make sure that you make the right changes so you don't come off like whatever Metallica did.

While people have been way too hard on Load and Reload for years now, King Nothing is still the best choice they could have made for a first single, with the same type of structure that made everyone love Enter Sandman. In fact, the whole thing seems to have too many things in common with Metallica's biggest hit, down to the fact that the entire song is practically a beat for beat copy of it.

From one section to the next, you can really pinpoint just how many parts of this song were copying the formula of the first one, like when the guitars build up to the title drop in the chorus to the beginning of the song with the guitars subtly creeping before things get going. As if it wasn't plagiarizing enough, we have James saying 'off to never never land' at the tail of the outro. Because this is not just a by the numbers Metallica track. This is Enter Sandman Jr. and don't you forget it.
