James Hetfield Allegedly ‘Ripped Off’ Vince Neil?
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

One of Metallica singer James Hetfield’s biggest influences was Motley Crue’s Vince Neil, according to Dee Snider on the Speak & Destroy podcast, imitating him on early recordings.

Incorrectly so from the historical overview, James [Hetfield] and Lars [Ulrich] are such big personalities that they are often the center of the Metallica-centric reporting – but going all the way back, that one could argue that Hetfield and Dave Mustaine invented a style of guitar playing that has continued.

“Probably more Mustaine. I mean, James couldn’t even play guitar in the beginning. He fronted the band.

“And, I mean, really, credit where credit’s due, I’m not taking anything away from James, and the ground he’s broken and the band has broken – but I would say it was more from Mustaine even – because James was learning guitar.”

At those really early shows, Mustaine did all the talking, because James was shy supposedly…

“Yeah, and until I went back and listened to the EP that one of James’s major influences was Vince Neil from Motley Crue – did you know that?

“Well, now you’ve heard that. Listen, they’re from LA, listen to his vocal style on that first EP, it was way more – little more Neils-ily, little less, ‘Yeah!’ A little less down there, little more up there, and hey, everybody’s got their influences.”
