Smokey by Emmure recently came up on my Spotify and I KNEW it sounded familiar!

(CHOKE - Cradles Puppet)

The first time I heard KIRITO’s 瓦礫の花, it suddenly reminded me of ELLEGARDEN’s 風の日.

I don’t know if Ryuusei is based on another song, but if it isn’t so, it probably inspired many.

I have a dual example, both of these songs sound similar to Poem by Taproot, example below:

MUCC- Kanashimi no Hate

SPYAIR - It

First five seconds of RISING by RENGEKI (2024) is basically identical to Theory of Evolution by Jupiter (2018)

It seems that many videos from this thread started disappearing from YT. I would recommend we include the names of the tracks in addition to the embeds. I will edit my post.

Accidentally came upon this song and the main melody and chorus sounded so familiar…

I never thought I’d be able to contribute to this thread this fast, but here’s one random comparison:

So Sananda Maitreya (formerly Terence Trent D’Arby) has this song…

which sounds a bit like this part of Kein’s Toy Boy:

(thanks to searching this up, Sanada’s other song, Sign Your Name is currently stuck in my head)

nothing outlandish or even outwardly inspired-by, just something that has probably been on the tip of my tongue for the better part of a decade, HA!

starting ~4 seconds in, there’s this ‘unn’ sound that you hear throughout …

erase - hide (1996)

which reminds me of this, ~20 seconds in …

connection - elastica (1994)

Was going through some old pop-punk and noticed these two, the structure of the intro, the riffs and the “hey!” both being pretty similar

The guitar riff at 1:14 in the GazettE’s LUCY is almost identical to the riff at 0:33 in Dir en grey’s 秒「」深 (Byou Shin, six Ugly version). It’s just downtuned a bit.

The section is so blatant and almost separate from the rest of the song that I have to assume it’s an homage.

I came across one. The entire song (Tokyo Shinjuu, the GazettE) is similar to the chorus of Pink Iro no Seishun, until it reaches its own chorus

Straight ripoff of Meshuggah. They don’t even try to hide it.

Call this one a reach, but I’m pretty sure DISREIGN’s Vexed (wow Yohio, very original band) ripped from UGLY.

MS Text-to-speech “Are you fucking kidding me” at 1:20 perfectly incapsulates my feelings.

Moreover, I do hear some throwbacks to Gazette’s VORTEX and HEADACHE MAN as well.
