Brian May and Metallica - Blues Breaker [QueenConcerts]

Viper 30.12.2014 06:34	Hi there! I apologyse if this topic had already been discussed... I know both of these tracks for a few years, but only the other day I've noticed this... Is it just me or Kirk Hammet's guitar part on Bass/Guitar Solo of the official release of Metallica's live show at Mexico City '93 (Live Shit - Binge & Purge boxset) is very similar to the one on Brian May + Friends' Blues Breaker from the Star Fleet Project? Blues Breaker: 10:51 till the end: link Bass/Guitar Solo: 10:46 - 12:23: link Thx guys!

Viper 31.12.2014 04:31	Yes I've noticed that. The rythm os blues is basically the same. I'm sure your ears are much more trained than mine, although I find it similar. A couple of friends of mine found it too.
princetom 31.12.2014 06:28	they're getting warm stepping into the blues. not much of a intended similarity here. well, it's blues... that's the way you do it.
Holly2003 31.12.2014 07:13	They both suck a bit at playing the blues -- although Metallica sucks a bit more than BM. That's where the similarity ends.
