Gimme fuel, gimme fire, the world is a vampire!!!
Billy Corgan said in a recent interview that there’s a Metallica songs that reminds him of his band. He said “Fuel” reminds him of a Smashing Pumpkins song, although he admits he’s “certainly ripped Metallica off plenty.”
He was a guest on the Australian podcast called Everblack when he discussed the similarities between Smashing Pumpkins and Metallica, saying their song “Tales of a Scorched Earth” sounds like a Metallica song, so he admittedly “borrowed” ideas from Metallica before.
According to Loudwire, he continued,
“Now, I don’t think James would rip anything off from me, but the first time I heard that song, I was, like, ‘That’s awfully close.’ But I love me some James. And I’d love somebody trying to get a troll headline out that, some clickbait out of that.”
“Let me caveat this by saying that I love James Hetfield as a person. I love Metallica. I saw them in 1984 and all that great stuff. And James is probably the greatest riff writer outside of maybe Tony Iommi.”
