I just put these together...
http://riffripoffs1.ytmnd.com/ Meliah Rage vs Cold World
http://riffripoffs2.ytmnd.com/ Infestdead vs Stone Sour
http://riffripoffs3.ytmnd.com/ Killing Joke vs Nirvana

there's an early Exodus and Kreator tracks that sound really close, but that is probably a coinidence... I can think of some others.. i know Korn took some Morbid Angel riffs and Coal Chamber took some Pantera riffs on their first album.. but I don't have any Korn or Coal Chamber or know what songs they were.. so I'll have to do some research..

but can you think of some other songs that just sound WAY to close..? I want to start a little collection on there...

You forgot Tom Petty vs. RHCP. There was an actual lawsuit.

I only know Tom Pettys singles.. I had a few RHCP cds in the past.. I don't remember the lawsuit.. remember what songs they were?  This also reminds me of RHCPs song that Crazy Town ripped off...

heres a new one I made.. Excel vs Metallica

santana - evil ways ripped off love potion number 9 by the drifters.

I hear stuff that sounds like rip offs all the time it's pretty common and often completely accidental.

I can hear this for sure.. not sure which one came first though, both albums come out around the same time, but sex pistols had demos of that album back in 76... hmm.

"Mary Jane's Last Dance" by Tom Petty, and "Dani California" by the RHCP. And Tom Petty said he wasn't going to sue. Wikipedia

that Papa Roach song that was really popular a few years ago, their first popular song that was on MTV all the time (and maybe their only popular song for all i know) "borrowed" its main riff from some song, but for the life of me i can't remember which one now.

I don't think I've heard the Sheryl Crow version of Sweet Child O' Mine, but it can't be as much of a crime against humanity as this.
