Criticism
"Your Time Has Come" has received much criticism from Metallica fans, who claim the main guitar riff is copied off of "Bad Seed," which was featured on Metallica's 1997 release ReLoad. The difference is the tuning; "Bad Seed" is in E-flat, whereas "Your Time Has Come" is performed in E standard tuning. The band has not commented on this issue to date.
In addition to this, the riff has been compared to "Get on the Snake" by vocalist Chris Cornell's previous band, Soundgarden. The main riff from this song and the verse riff from "Get on the Snake" are very similar, apart from a difference in the time signature.
