I know mike has mentioned that he is a huge Camel fan and borrows from them occasionally, just thought the intros of these songs were an interesting example
I've noticed a lot of people scream 'ripoff' when it comes to Benighted, but in all honesty if you listen closely it isn't really all THAT similar. Whilst the first 2 bars of the riff do have similarities (but not exactly the same) the second 2 bars are actually totally different.
