Metallica “Enter Sandman” sounds like Faster Pussycat “Where There’s A Whip There’s A Way”

Metallica vs. Faster Pussycat

In 1991 Metallica, already metal gods,  broke out into the mainstream with “Enter Sandman”.  I don’t think Faster Pussycat ever reached their level of success but they did release “Where There’s A Whip There’s A Way” on an album called “Wake Me When It’s Over” that sounds eerily similar to Sandman. There are no identical note for note similarities here but if you put together the overall songs they are very similar. Have a listen to these clips I made and see for yourself:

I had a few comments on the Weezer vs.  Midnight Oil post relating to the guitar riffage. Here are a few more. They’re all really just along the lines of the Peter Gunn theme by Henry Mancini. Some of you might also recognize this as the theme song to the 1983 arcade game Spy Hunter.  Weezer‘s “Hash Pipe” is much closer to Metallica‘s “For Whom The Bell Tolls”

Weezer - "Hash Pipe" (2001)

Metallica - "For Whom The Bell Tolls" (1985)

The Strokes - "Juicebox" (2005)

Henry Mancini & His Orchestra - "Peter Gunn" (1958)

Midnight Oil - "Beds Are Burning" (1987)

Check out the intro to  Nightwish‘s  2008 metal track “Bye Bye Beautiful”. Sounds a bit like Paul McCartney‘s 1973 Bond theme song “Live and Let Die”. (Here’s some  interesting info about “Live and Let Die” on Wikipedia if you’re interested).
