Rihanna Samples Metallica On New Album

According to Blabbermouth.net, Rihanna has sampled Metallica on her new album, "Talk That Talk", which is scheduled for release on November 21.

The pop singer has used some of the guitar riffs from the San Francisco metal titans' "Wherever I May Roam" track on "Red Lipstick", which appears on the deluxe version of her new record. The song also features sound recordings from Chase & Status' "Saxon".

"Wherever I May Roam" comes off Metallica's 1991 self-titled fifth album, commonly known as "the black album," which in 2009 surpassed Shania Twain's 1997 record, "Come On Over", as the best-selling CD of the SoundScan era. To date, the black album has sold 15,715,000 copies in the United States.

Although Metallica had scored their first radio and video airplay with their previous effort, 1988's "...And Justice For All", the black album was the band's biggest commercial breakthrough, producing five singles and making them into one of the most popular rock bands in the world.

Probably just trying to gain some respect from the rock community..
In any case, her voice annoys me so much..

[controlledchaos]

Why do these pop artists get off on claiming to like rock/metal music? Lady Gaga, Kesha and now Rihanna.

[RoboHendrix]

I hate being a kid of the 90s.
The music is shit almost everywhere I tune in and now all the music that's actually worth listening to is getting pwnd by some wannabe...
Hire a band and make your own damn music if you love rock so much.

[Downfault]

For pop artist like Rihanna, I'm sure that their managment is the reason for something like this. The next thing to help boost her album sales and fan base. Its just simply music business. I doubt she really came up with the idea to sample Metallica but who knows.

[Battman1993]

Rhianna does actually like rock. Nuno Bettencourt from Extreme plays guitar for her live, but I do hate her music.

[chrtes]

Can she play a instrument?

[moparhead]

i don't see difference between todays tallica

[markvdhaar]

Speaking of Metallica ... their summer festival tour in 2012 will open in Donington's Download festival and they wil play the balck album in it's entirity ... How cool is that? It wil be f***king awesome to hear them play the Struggle Within live ... I'm psyched!

Well, she certainly does inspire loose bowel movements among those with musical taste.

[Kilimacory]

Honestly why do current artists feel the need to sample other songs? Either you can't write your own music, or you want to pay tribute to an artist. But if you're going to do that, then just cover the song. By sampling most people don't know what song it came from and think that little shits like Rihanna wrote it. Rage.

Eehm, I kinda like Rihanna. Great voice, not completely innocuous, and she's also super hot.

Rhianna, proving pop artists really do live off other people's talent

[Ebeli]

Rhianna doesn't produce her music. Regardless if you agree with that or not, shes not to "blame" for the producer sampling Metallica.

I'm not surprised all the comments so far have been "LOL POP IS DUMB AND METAL IS ONLY METAL AND HOW DARE POP INCORPORATE METAL THAT'S SILLY" Trust this website to be filled with that kind of idiot.

[Sigh] Really? You're calling metal fans idiots after a comment like this? I'm not even going to address the yawning chasm of taste that exists between metal and pop fans (or the music for that matter). What I'm more interested in is how you figure that Rihanna is not to blame for her music. It's HER music you moron. SHE gets the final call because HER name goes on it. SHE sings over it. Come on. Wise up. When are people going to start taking responsibility for themselves, and demanding that others do the same. Stop making excuses for people, it's such a pathetic approach to life.

[Firebreather01]

And a generation of high schoolers will think she's "hardcore" and won't know the original source of the sample...

Though I sometimes like the songs themselves if they do sound good, but I hate the reception when a pop artist does a rock song. You should've seen the reaction I got when I told some kids at school "did you know that that Lil Jon song was made by Ozzy Osbourne?" They thought I was lying. It was ridiculous.

[Armagedn]

PEOPLE LIKE IT, SO I HATE IT. I see nothing wrong with Rihanna sampling a Metallica song. What's wrong with an open mind, guys? And not in a hipster way, either, but in a "hate everything less" way.

[stef123]

I'm not a fan of Rihanna, but even if she does ruin the Metallica song, who cares? Nobody is telling you to listen to it.

[heartbreakhotel]

SUE SUE SUE!lars.

[megaluisdeth]

It's pretty much because Lady Gaga got a lot of attention with the metal melitia videos and slayer. But Gaga has been representing since the 90's.

[moose1512]

You realise that she uses a live band when performing, and that her shows are heavier and more ballsy than the studio work, please dont make that idiotic assumption that a vocalist is somehow not as good because they don't play an instrument, vocals are an instrument. But yeah, who care? I don't understand why fans of one genre cant accept that of another, why must you dislike one to like the other?

This might be difficult for metalheads to understand, but many people listen to more than one genre of music.

[ChamsRock]

Lars will have fun with this.

[Vinson]

Good on her! Just cuz your "pop" doesn't mean you can dig metal! And if she can get some metal into pop music, and get metal played on pop stations (even if only a sample) that's a GOOD thing!

[False_God]

I would do so much to that girl, shit music or not.

[darth awsome]

^ Metallica(read: metallica's agent/label)would have had to approve of the sampling. Not only did they approve it, but they're making bank off it too.

On another note; Maybe Rhianna's snare sound wont sound like shit.

YES I love Nuno, but honestly, Rhianna pisses me off. She apparently has a good taste in guitarists, but Nuno or no Nuno, her music is still made of lame.

[raoooos]

I am SO SICK of 'metalheads' automatically concluding that popstars want their respect/popularity - do you seriously think Rihanna is desperate for your support, considering she is currently more popular than pretty much every metal band on the planet? Kindly extract your head from your metal-as-f*** ass.

[Nameless742]

Not a fan of Rhianna however I have no problem having pop stars recognise metal/rock bands. So long as they don't make a cover and slaughter the song.

A homage is harmless.

[5t0rM]

Sampled? OK. I'm not complaining about that... Listen to this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-2x60iZrP0U That's disturbing isn't it? Complain about that, you have a reason cos it's total rip-off.

[Byker81]

as a huge fan of Metallica, an not so big a fan of Rhianna, I just have to ask - has anyone heard it yet? apparently it played on the number one Rock Radio station RADIO 1....!!!! TBH, I am kinda interested - like how you 'just have' to look at a car wreck!

whoops you're wrong. rihanna definitely does NOT get the final say on her records unless they're self-produced (I'm going to go ahead with a leap of faith and assume they aren't). Out of the artist, songwriter (there's a major difference), producer, and record label, the artist usually gets the least say on the matter.

[Farbeyondforums]

If she wants to get respect from the rock community....RIGHT A RIFF OF YOUR OWN!!! how could anyone give anyone respect by "Sampling" other people's music, haha what a joke, reminds me why I hate pop so much

[Superperfex]

Rihanna can do as she pleases with that body of hers... *Drools*

[ToolCreedence]

Her touring guitarist, Nuno Bettencourt, is better than both Metallica guitarists, in my opinion.

[bonjidonk]

I'm not much of pop music fan, but pop artist ARE allowed to like rock/metal and the likes. Just because you perform one kind of music doesn't mean you can't enjoy another genre.

[foopeppers]

I hate it when RnR, pop or techno/dance/whatever take samples of other musicians work, mostly rock musicians. It just exposes them to have a lack of creativity and to have the inability to write their own stuff.

[EpiExplorer]

She's so out of touch with reality. WAKE UP, GENERIC POP ARTIST #27834627846, Lil' Jon was sampling Slayer before it was cool.

And as much as I dislike rap, this tune is pretty angry, in the right way:

And the Three 6 Mafia/Hypnotize Minds guys from Memphis have been doing it since 1995.

They've actually sampled this song before, too. I think it was on a Koopsta Knicca album around 2000-2002.

I think those guys do some of the most tasteful sampling (and just their music, in general) out of all of them, aside from maybe Dr. Dre, or at least they used to before they got really famous and started winning Grammys and shit.

And what the **** does popularity mean? Justin bieber is currently more famous than most metal bands, does that make him good? NO. If the musics good then fine, but rihanna's music is shit generic pop music.

[aildjacksback]

why are all you guys so narrow-minded. open up your ears a lil and you might actually like some of rhiannas stuff and if your a guitar player you can gather a lot of inspiration from different genres. so stop saying "pop is shit" or "she is stealing that riff" because tbh noone cares.

[axeldarkman420]

What next? Justin Bieber saying he's a Cannibal Corpse fan and collaborates with them? Or The Jonas Brothers sampling some Immortal. This shit is annoying, they are making music that shouldn't happen. Call me an elitist, but metal and pop should never coincide with each other. Wasn't metal an outcry to the mainstream telling everyone to **** off? And now it's apparently acceptable for pop artists to like metal music and the dumbass pop fans think they are metalheads since they heard a part of a Metallica song or since their hero Lady Gaga likes Iron Maiden, they have to like them too. This world is going to hell, good thing I like technical death metal bands, so I can bet I won't be seeing any pop artists liking them. And if I do... then I'll move onto punk or some obscure genre like post rock.

I was at a Backstreet Boys/New Kids On The Block concert over the summer, they used music from a very large and influential post rock band as their introduction. Namely, Explosions in the Sky.

[Bananafish003]

I've got to be the only person here who thinks this is a good idea...Sampling is a great ****ing idea that nobody sees the real creativity in. If you can take a sample out of context and use it in a new context, then congratulations! You've actually created a new song and are more creative than many of the "rockers" who continuously rewrite the same riffs to be used over and over again.

Of course, Rhianna could still **** this up by just covering the song instead of using the sample in a creative way...

[Gee Halen]

It's all wrong.

Should have been "I AM THE TABLE".

You really sound like a douche, man.

But I do agree -- this is gonna be one sparkly piece of shit.
She has every right to do it, though, considering Metallica, themselves, have most certainly approved it.

You also have every right to have an opinion about it... and to make yourself sound like a giant douche.

It is a horrible idea, and it's sure to sound just as horrible as you could imagine, but just because you purposefully limit yourself to one specific genre of music doesn't mean she has to -- no matter how shitty her own 'music' is.

I don't just like metal. I like punk, jazz, blues, and classical. Pop is the epitome of shitty cookie cutter music. The "artists" in the scene make like two records then fizz out in a few years, then you got your replacement "artist" to fill the gap. Mainstream music is boring and repetitive to me, but if you all like it, whatever. To each to their own.

[smittyanthrax]

She might be very annoying and have a very irratating voice but **** her body is hot as hell.

[BlaqIc3]

I just listened to the Saxon...ugh... Why...If I see kids singing or humming that little melody of "Wherever I May Roam"...and claim Rihanna made it, her dj, or whoever made it...I will bash my guitar on the pavement outside of my house and official lose all faith in people and music.

Thank You, and ahhh GOODNIGHT!

[behind_you]

Goes to show how Rihanna doesn't write her own songs :P

[slaveskinJACKET]

I predict this will just be a sample of the intro to Wherever I May Roam, dubbed overtop of looped clips of that horrible Chase & Status rendition, topped off with those weird, annoying sounds Rihanna makes.

What the hell!?! Chill out guys. Do you know how many people discover new genres of music through sampling? You guys are arrogant and narrow minded. Even if you dont like her music, at least her fans can say "Hey i like this riff, who's Metallica, i think i'll go check out some of thier other music." Go ahead and give me thumbs down for saying the truth and what needed to be said, I dont give a ****...

[AsOneIStand]

Let me apologize on behalf of metal lovers. I hate the fact so many "metal heads" believe they are going against the grain and refraining from conformity when in fact only listening to metal and following a trend is conformity in itself. I mostly love metal, but basically I listen to whatever sounds good. To hell with that elitist crap. To hell with "oh it's pop and it's on the radio so it sucks" It's funny because in the 80's, metal was popular. Guess what pop stands for? Hope you were sitting down when you figured that out. Again, I apologize for these retards and though I'm not a fan of Rihanna, at least she's able to be open minded about music unlike the rest of the as*holes here.

Who gives a shit why someone likes something. Thats their business, I am always glad when people share something in common with me.

Your comment is the epitome of douchy elitism. People have the right to listen to whatever they want, despite who they are and what they represent, whether its a pop star liking metal or hard rock, or a metalhead liking hip hop, jazz or even Lady Gaga.


Get over yourself. Go sit in the corner and listen to your douchy hipster metal bands so you feel entitled and unique.

There is a lot more talent in these genres than you think. Most of the people writing pop songs are professional musicians/songwriters. Contrary to popular belief it is not easy to write a pop song that will appeal to a huge mainstream audience. Producing electronic music requires a lot of skill too, they spend as much time practicing their craft as other musicians. A lot of other music is sampled too, you just wouldn't notice because you don't recognise it.

I don't understand why so many metal fans feel the need to disrespect pop music. Yes, it is a bit formulaic, but so is a lot of metal music. I enjoy both genres.

[SFosterS]

Some pop sucks some doesn't. Not the point to me. What bothers me is the "mainstream" that I see is the popularization and glorification of people who do NOTHING! Paris Hilton, Kardesian family. Pop seems to attach itself to the TMZ, star magazine, celebrity following BS that is, in my opinion, creating a larger problem of promoting stupidity and uselessness in our society. You don't often hear Death Metal in the intro of Entertainment Tonight or TMZ, or see Jesse Keeler chased down in the street and interviewed. You don't hear jazz, classical etc, etc being used to promote THE NEW 3D EXTRAVAGANZA!!!! Mainstream Western pop culture has just become painfully shallow and stupid; fashion has become more popular than art, flashing lights, effects and 3D are now trumping genuinely well written, artistic screenplays. I think this rage/outcry to this type of thing isn't as much about sampling or pop-music as it is that some people, in North America at least, are horrified by what they see happening around them and see this type of situation and forum as a place to vent.

But hey I'm probably wrong! lol

This. According to Wikipedia (reliable, I know) Children of Bodom's album Hatebreeder has a lot of sampled riffs (well, not so much sampled as borrowed), I just don't know many of the songs that they're from so I haven't noticed it.

On metal being formulaic, I couldn't agree more. A lot of modern metal bands, no matter how amazingly difficult their music is to play, sound really generic compared to other bands in their genre. Whether that's a good or a bad thing is subjective--some people like a sense of familiarity in their music while others expect more diversity from musical groups. When it comes to metal, a lot of people crucify bands for doing something different, accusing them of "selling out", so isn't it unfair to criticise pop acts for playing it just as safe? And besides, the purpose of a lot of metal music is to bang your head and rock out to, so what's wrong with acts like Lady Gaga (on her first album anyway) writing music to dance to in a club?

And final note (sorry for long post), I don't understand all this metal elitism--I mean, it's not like you're listening to an opera or a symphony. There's really nothing to get snobby about.

Rihanna should go to hell for doing this.

I also don't approve of pop music using samples all the time. Though it has happened for as long as time, it seems to be something that is happening more and more in the past year or so. I can't watch a music channel or listen to the radio for 15 mins without hearing a song that uses older songs for most of it. It is just an extremely lazy way to get people to remember your song.
"Hey, people remember 'I'm too sexy', lets use it in a song so people remember us aswell!!!"
then later some guy is like "Hey, I know this song!!! Oh wait, it's just a bad rip off with 2 words changed...but I can't get it out of my head because of that..."


This is also probably an attempt to get more of an audience with "Hey, I like metal aswell, so you metal fans should by my album because it has Metallica on it".
She tried the same thing a few years ago making a "rocky/metal song for a bigger audience" with 'shut up and drive'...Remember that? Probably not.


If your trying to get a bigger audience by using a metal band, don't use an obvious one...there are only 4 bands that every non metal fan ever can name:-
Metallica
Slipknot
Guns n' roses
AC/DC

Yes, I am aware the last to are not metal, tell that to non metal/rock fans.

Pop singers (a-la Gaga, Kesha, Rihanna) CANNOT like metal/rock music and b. That they somehow are singularly obsessed with gaining the support of the metal/rock community.

Also, you're correct in saying that being popular doesn't make you good - but just because you don't like an artist, doesn't make them bad.

"Hey, people remember 'I'm too sexy', lets use it in a song so people remember us aswell!!!"
then later some guy is like "Hey, I know this song!!! Oh wait, it's just a bad rip off with 2 words changed...but I can't get it out of my head because of that..."


This is also probably an attempt to get more of an audience with "Hey, I like metal aswell, so you metal fans should by my album because it has Metallica on it".
She tried the same thing a few years ago making a "rocky/metal song for a bigger audience" with 'shut up and drive'...Remember that? Probably not.


If your trying to get a bigger audience by using a metal band, don't use an obvious one...there are only 4 bands that every non metal fan ever can name:-
Metallica
Slipknot
Guns n' roses
AC/DC

Yes, I am aware the last to are not metal, tell that to non metal/rock fans.

wrong the last 3 aren't metal, I wont argue why the 2nd one you named isn't metal, if you really know the evolution of music and the roots of a band you will realize why.

About Rihanna, this doesn't surpises me, pop music nowadays is so "plastic" that this is only more of the same shit we have been taking for a long time.

[boris6491]

I'm not sure why she has to rip off Metallica in the first place. This is my issue with these mainstream artists. Don't copy anybody else's music, try and use some of your own creativity and if you can't do that, don't make music.

And what the **** does popularity mean? Justin bieber is currently more famous than most metal bands, does that make him good? NO. If the musics good then fine, but rihanna's music is shit generic pop music.

Nowhere did anyone say that Bieber or Rihanna or other popular artists are "as good" as Metallica or other bands. The point is that they don't give a shit what we think of them, they just care that they're selling records (or downloads, as it were). I personally don't care much, live and let live.

And I also think sampling can be done in a good creative way that isn't just using a famous line from a famous song as a hook. So sue me.

She's not ripping off Metallica, she is sampling part of their music. Metallica has an album full of covers (Garage Inc.), so its pretty rich for people to complain.

Classical composers have been known to quote composers in the past. Mozart, Brahms and Rachmaninov are among many composers to have musically quoted others. Jazz musicians have been known to do it as well, such as Sonny Rollins, Charlie Parker and Dizzy Gillespie to name a few. Plenty of blues musicians take licks from their influences, and Jimmy Page has been known for some borderline plagiarism in his guitar work. Stop associating this with a lack of creativity, creativity has nothing to do with it.

And yes, she has permission to use the riff. Metallica will likely be credited, and will also earn royalties. Now stop whining and making uneducated remarks. There is plenty of mainstream music which doesn't use any samples from other artists.

People (me included)are quick to proclaim metals dominance in these situations but I think of it this way: they sample the music, fans of her music will get pissed off because its not poppy enough (it actually has instruments in it!) and then producers will leave metal alone. This is a fad that will kill itself in time believe me. That being said I do despise artists these days thaat claim to like rock and metal to appear edgy and "different." Its almost like us metalheads are charity cases to them and quite frankly its insulting. You want to know why us metalheads hate pop artists? Its because its people of no talent having the gall to claim some element of legitimacy while selling out any kind of artistic integrity and then "revealing" the "shocking truth" that actually they like music thats not even in mainstream. I don't know about anyone else but I find it patronising and insulting rant over.

This is not a fad. It's been happening since Run D.M.C. Nobody thinks liking rock and metal is edgy or different, it seems like you do though.

In regards to talent, if you don't think Rihanna has a good voice then that's okay, but plenty of others enjoy it. I don't think you are in a position to comment on the artistic integrity of somebody you know nothing about. By the way, Metallica are mainstream. It clearly states in the article that The Black Album is the largest selling album of the sound-scan era. How is that not mainstream?

You're ****ing stupid. The producer of the song is probably just a fan of Metallica. Has nothing to do with management or making money. If they were more concerned with that, they wouldn't be paying the enormous royalties it costs to sample a band like Metallica.

[Log1993]

Sampling is great sometimes. Every now and then it can add a little something. But it is starting to get a little ridiculous with how often it is occurring. I don't think they are trying to get our respect, I think they are just too lazy to make anything up on their own.

Rihanna sings and puts on a better live show than nearly 3 quarters of the newer Metal bands out there, featuring that generic screamo/growling vocalist.

I love how everyone accuses her of being generic when almost 90 percent of the Metal I'm hearing nowadays sounds alike, meaning D-tuning, screamo/growling vocals, triggered double bass drums, and generic neo shredding solos.

Metal is getting just as boring as the pop bands you guys all hate. There are exceptions of course, so don't get me wrong.

Nobody has the right to say people can and cannot like something. Nobody ever judged you when you started liking Iron Maiden or Slayer.

Ke$ha, Rihanna and Lady Gaga are just fans of music, like you and I. I don't bitch about them liking the same things I do because I think its great that another person has something in common with me. All they are saying is they have respect for great music and musicianship, so shut up.

[Glenn Guitar]

Wow, its a sample. People have been sampling tracks from the 70's, and now you guys suddenly get annoyed? Public enemy actually had the anthrax guitarists write riffs for them on some of their songs, yet suddenly because pop, dance, or R&B is onto a metallica riff you guys suddenly explode in a fit of rage?

Don't get me wrong i'm a metal fan but just because she used your 'heroes' riffs and is apparently destroying the music industry (its not like illegal downloads and the heavy decline in cd sales have battered the industry)?

Its all hot air, it probably won't even be a big hit. Its an album track, so what.

The only reason that Rihanna's producers have picked Metallica to sample is because they're also a pop group, in the sense that they have a silly amount of fans, and they are attempting to tap into their fanbase.
If Rihanna was a true metal fan, she would've sampled some of the best metal, like Megadeth or Death or Amon Amarth.

Great. Meh-tallica and a poptart. They've managed to be the worst of both worlds.

As long as Rihanna's management coughed up the dough to Metallica's management to clear the sample I've got my problem with it. They can pretty much do what they want with it.

And that's from somebody who can't stand listening to Rihanna's music at all. When it's on at the gym I try and focus or something else anything else, I've even gone to the toilet to get away from that type of crap.

Honestly why do current artists feel the need to sample other songs? Either you can't write your own music, or you want to pay tribute to an artist. But if you're going to do that, then just cover the song. By sampling most people don't know what song it came from and think that little shits like Rihanna wrote it. Rage.

Yes, one problem with sampling is that people don't realize it's a sample, like how M.I.A. sampled The Clash's Straight to Hell and nobody knows that that's a sample. But sampling, especially in hip-hop, is a way to take something somebody else made and make it your own, in a completely different way than a cover. Now, I don't actually like pop, but I do like underground hip-hop and when a sample is used in the right way, it sounds sick.

Couple of points. It's Metallica, so who cares. Second, it's Rihanna, so again, who the hell cares.

Most of the people writing pop songs are professional musicians/songwriters. Contrary to popular belief it is not easy to write a pop song that will appeal to a huge mainstream audience. Producing electronic music requires a lot of skill too, they spend as much time practicing their craft as other musicians. A lot of other music is sampled too, you just wouldn't notice because you don't recognise it.

I don't understand why so many metal fans feel the need to disrespect pop music. Yes, it is a bit formulaic, but so is a lot of metal music. I enjoy both genres.

I do appreciate that here are some talented people in the pop industry, and that most of them are behind the scenes. What gets my back up is that the people with the talent who write the music, shouldnt they be the famous ones? not the ones who simply sing it. Im not actually a huge metal fan tbh, but I do quite like metallica and a couple of other bands. my point is though that it just makes the artist look like they have ran out of creativity when they start sampling other peoples music, and when it does come on the radio, you get your hopes up for a second then realise its someone else doing a cheap rip off. I also find that electronic beats and sampling sound very plastic compared to a musician actually playing it on an instrument, which sounds unique and organic. My two pence anywah...

Although I love metal, and it's the main genre of music I listen most to, I have a crap lot of blues and a bit of rap loaded onto my iPod. I think the point they're trying to make is that these artists care solely on the sales of their record, not caring about any music integrity whatsoever.
