Queen was an influence to Metallica (or James Hetfield at least), one of the most successful metal bands around (although I prefer Megadeth)

TYMD was the only real 'rock' tune that was or could be considered a 'hit' by Queen - even 7 seas was not THAT big a hit and is only on GH1 because it was the first 'successful' song.
7SOR reached #10 on UK charts while TYMD didn't even make it to top30. There's a reason why TYMD wasn't on GH and 7SOR was included.

Fair point, but TYMD WAS included in GF2 (unlike 7seas) and was a staple at the concerts.I still think that TYMD was influential - there is a Maiden track which has a similar riff - though the title escapes me atm (so much for being an ex Maiden nut LOL)

There's also a Maiden track (Mother Russia) similar to Was It All Worth It.
According to a youtube video, it was written in 1990, so wether it was influenced by WIAWI is very questionable actually.
I have no idea how accurate that information is though.
nb, I did not look it up to prove you wrong, but to have a listen, I happened to read that info in the comments bit.

I already knew about that, but it doesn't always take a long time to write a song. Sometimes it just comes straight to you and you finish it in a day. Maybe they had most of the album done around late 89 or early 90 and wrote Mother Russia after hearing Was It All Worth It.
Who knows ;)
I heard the song mother russia, and never heard a Queen influence.

well, If you listen to master of puppets you'll hear some of the guitar sounds have a Queen influence. also, Dave mustain did say he liked Queen. I'm not sure if they influenced him though.

Mustaine's biggest influence is Led Zeppelin, but I wouldn't be suprised if he liked Queen since when James and him were young they probably enjoyed similar music.

I didn't say it was an influence but it sounds similar. The intros of both songs are similar (maybe not influenced but similar).

How about the Troggs- Wild Thing... to me that is the definition of a heavy metal song.
So that's why it's considered one of the first punk songs, right ?

I wouldn't say "influence", they (James and Lars at least) are just fans
