For as long as i can remember, davis has always maintained that Metallica's "Fade to Black" and "the unforgiven" sound exactly the same. Well they clearly dont aside from one guitar slide at the end of the main riff, both intros slide up on the same note by happenstance. But for once i will post both videos together so everyone can listen to how different of songs they are. One has soft verses with hard choruses, and the other is a flip flop it has distorted heavy huge verses, with quiet choruses. They are like polar opposites.

Any band as old as Metallica is bound to duplicate its creativity. This shouldn't be surprising to Davis or offensive to Jason. I didn't have to listen to more than the first three minutes of each of these songs to see that both of you are right (well, "polar opposites" probably should have been "mirror images", or whatever you say for a song instead of a picture). But why does it matter to either of you. Both songs are good, and though perhaps not appropriate for being played sequentially at a live show, are still uniquely creative.
Alright, so i asked a guy i work with who doesnt listen to much metallica at all, to hear these 2 songs and tell me if they sound alike at all. he said they sounded completely different.
