   The only similarity i can hear is that they are both using power chords, which considering the type of music isnt all that suprising.

   i suggest you to add this entry Mooi Wark (Achter de tent)2007 Vs My Chemical Romance (Teenagers) 2006 .. they are equal, and the first one isnt a cover since it have different lyrics.

      If anything the MCR riff sounds a bit like Ozzy’s “Crazy Train”

      Good one! I know there is another song out there that sounds like the MCR “Helena” chorus. Something from the 80s. I haven’t been able to figure it out.

    I think these two sound like Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous by Good Charlotte (2002), but I think GC’s was better.
