Riff Identity Crisis!!

[eicca]

Alright, so take a listen to the opening riff in Journey's "Never Walk Away" (that's a link, by the way). I swear on my life this riff has been used somewhere else. I know I've heard it before.

Usually when I get that I-know-I've-heard-this-before feeling it goes away after a while, but after like a year of listening to the song I can't get over the impression that I've heard the riff before in a different song!! Guitar Hero, Rockband, some movie, I don't know!

HEEELLPPP! Before I go nuts!

Aaaaag... It's soooo close... Definitely uses a few of the same lines as "Jump"...

But I know there's a song out there that uses the first eight seconds of "Never Walk Away" almost verbatim.

Good song though!

Has a bit of Panama to it as well.

Yeah, the way the drums bounce at the start.

Ooooh. It might be. Thanks for posting that, I dig it! He sounds kind of like Joe Lynn Turner!

Keep 'em coming, if that didn't do it I think we're getting close.
