Sometimes when stealing a riff you might want to change it up a bit and make it your own, but sometimes (as todays post shows), you don't even have to bother.
Here's are 2 selections from now-defunct MVHC's Gun's Up. Their song "Won't Change For Me" contains a spot-on jack of the breakdown in Entombed's "Demon", but they don't stop there, they also lift the breakdown of Megadeth's "The Conjuring" for their song called "Face It".
In researching this post, it seems that Guns Up had gotten the OK from Entombed to use this (never a bad practice in the riff-lifting world) so we know for sure this lift was intentional. I'm not positive if the Megadeth riffcycle was on purpose, but you can let your ears decide.
Listed to Entombed's "Demon" followed by Guns Up "Won't Change For Me", then Megadeth's "The Conjuring" back-to-back with Guns Up's "Face It"
Yeah I have that Guns Up! CD and they credit entombed in the linear notes.
