I'm a big fan of both bands, I have been for years. But on listening to the new Living End single Moment in the Sun that is being pushed hard on radio here in Australia at the moment, I noticed a startling similarity in the opening riff.

It is exactly the same riff used by Alkaline Trio in their song Fall Victim off their album Crimson which was released in 2005.



Alkaline Trio-Fall Victim(2005) Unfortunately I cannot find any clips of the song, so you will have to make due with this sub par YouTube cover.

Whether you like the album or not doesn't matter.

They still stole the riff.

talking about the guitar riff I'd imagine and you post a fucking bass cover of the Trio song which is the most hilarious attempt at a comparison.
