Lifted Riffs

I don't know about many instances of this happening, and these were all I could think of off of the top of my head, but I'd be curious to see more, rec them to me in the comments.
1Killswitch Engage
Alive or Just Breathing


Life To Lifeless - the rhythm pattern here right at the beginning is the original.

2Mors Principium Est
The Unborn


Altered State of Consciousness - essentially just jacks that rhythm from KSE and places it in the beginning of the track just the same. These guys shred, but it seems pretty blatant to me.

3Pinback
This is a Pinback CD


Crutch - The opening guitar part.

4Citizen
Youth


Figure You Out - this one is pretty obvious/blatant too, especially because it seems like Pinback is an obvious influence on these guys. I love this record and a majority of this band's stuff, but damn.

5Beyond The Flesh
What The Mind Perceives


Rise Above the Weak - OK, so this one is a stretch, especially because the "ripoff" was from the same year and was MUCH bigger of a success...however, being a guy who was from NJ and used to go out to local shows to support these guys often, it sure felt like it was ripped off by Avenged Sevenfold for their biggest hit (although I'm pretty certain that they didn't and it's just a coincidence).

6Avenged Sevenfold
Waking the Fallen


Unholy Confessions - the much more popular tune with essentially the same main riff with a bit of alteration.

7Obituary
Back from the Dead


By the Light - intro/main riff here is the original.
8Torture Killer
For Maggots to Devour


Fuck Them When They Bleed - not even a question here, straight up robbery.
