Same Riff??? (Riff-Off)

[Ernest Thesiger]

(Lord Of) Putrefaction's early demo track "Tafophobia" rips off that fast main riff from Slayer's "Jesus Saves."

[Chafe]

Don't know if this has been posted, but the middle part of Under the Oak by Candlemass is exactly the same than the first part of Camel's Mystic Queen.

The Beast - Randall Flagg/Megadeth - Hangar 18

And Mustaine for sure has seen this band live when Metallica spent some time in New York, shortly before they kicked him out...

This can't be a coincidence, not just the riff, the whole songs seems a rip-off

Deep Purple 's Fireball from 1971 and Warpig - Rock Star from 1970.This also can't be a coincidence, it's a rip off again

Not a riff, but can't help but notice very similar melody in vocals between Lucifer's Heritage - Daed Of Night 1985 and Vixen - Living In Sin 1981-1983 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rM4I7oIvkRo

I remember listening recently a song that borrowed from If Heaven Is Hell from Tokyo Blade, but I don't remember at all neither the band nor the song

Dug dugadug riff in Adramelch's "Dreams of a Jester" = dug dugadug riff in Atheist's "On They Slay".

[bigfootkit]

Just noticed Rude Awakening's 'You Mean So Much' manages to pilfer Iron Maiden's 'Prodigal Son' & weld it onto Ace Frehley's 'Fractured Mirror' yet they still manage to turn gold into excrement with some of the sappiest lyrics you'll ever hear.

[VictimeDelExil]

Has anyone else noticed one of the riffs in The Deluge by Manilla Road sound very similar to Golden Showers by the Mentors?

[DaN]

No comments necessary, but it is fascinating how some of these bands just shamelessly nicked a Big Classic Metal-Riff and then went their own way with it. There's plenty more examples from this particular scene for sure...

[bigfootkit]

Just realised that Danzig's 'Snakes Of Christ' was (ahem) 'inspired' by The Dictators' 'Minnesota Strip'. Contrast & compare...
