Dave Mustaine Megadeth Similar Riff

Megadeth' oldest and latest (on this date) albums contain a riff which sounds extremely similar.

The melodie’s are different, but the patterns are the same

[MetaITurtle]

Dave likes to use his old riffs alot I've noticed. It's kind of like telling a story from the past type thing

[fallen]

Sweet detail there. Love the last album. First album is great musically but poor production so its cool to hear an old riff with new sound :D

[davemustang]

when there is just too much awesome in a riff, you have to use it again 37 years later

[LeroyJerez]

That I noticed. Celebutante has a sound like Killing Is My Business album and it's like listening to it with modern production. Megadeth haven't lost their touch. Thanks

This album and metallicas 72 both have a theme that is calling back to not only the beginning but the journey overall

[gobblegobble]

They're similar rhythmically but I think different enough that he gets a pass on this one

[eliminator]

The sick the dying and the dead at 3:50 is she wolf in the end

[spectrefate]

I think someone who has written songs for over 40 years can be forgiven for recycling a riff here and there.

[Janjibro]

There’s a bunch of callback riffs on sick dying and dead.

The ending riff in mission to mars is similar to the ending riff from my last words.

[yagamilight]

not in this album, but i d also add mechanix. such a message imo

[seanwechsler]

I mean the guy has used the Tornado of Souls riff in Vortex and Never Walk Alone…A Call To Open Arms.

[ottopoika]

I've tought that sounds similiar but now I know why.

[aibezoid]

Also noticed some reused lyrics on sick dying album

[kurzackd]

spot on!
If you're interested, Looking Down the Cross is ALSO referenced in the *verse riff of Dance in the Rain* ! :)

[juankcastro]

Si señor, buena comparación. Gracias por el dato

[Frontier]

Black Friday is almost identical to We'll Be Back.

[ali]

This might’ve been a tribute to KIMB but I doubt he’d remember something he wrote 40 years ago while recording

[Iloveyoulikekanyeloveskanye]

The fact that that’s my favorite riff from them

[SeveredLegs]

There's a riff in Junkie that references Liar.
