We did this thoroughly on the old forum thus it is down the memory hole. However, I'll start by listing "Makes Me Wanna Sing" as a doppleganger for "Running Wild" by the Priest.

and I'm guessing you are referring to the Stryper song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3pvvPCFVuno

Re: Riffs That Sound Alike
Foreigner has more than one song intro riffing that reminds me of another band
For example
Hot Blooded https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5c1m2BAg2Sc
reminds me of
DP's My Woman From Tokyo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b-ScDz4Vj98

Alice Cooper feels strongly that this 1998 KISS song borrowed too much from his 1971 song.

A song called Enslaver of Lies by a band called Sadist from the album called Above the Light at around the 3:12 mark the riff is a little similar to Flashpoint by whitecross. Well sorta

Alice Cooper and Judas Priest should have filed copyright claims against Kiss and Stryper, respectively. Good grief. Especially the Stryper tune - I had no idea they'd ripped that riff off Priest so blatantly.

The riff from Hammerfall’s Flight of the Warrior is almost identical to the riff from Riot’s Flight of the Warrior. Take a listen:

Theocracy has a bunch of Priest riffs but then, many bands do.

Re: Riffs That Sound Alike
In the interest of being fair to the greatest Christian band of all time, I should note that Bob Hartman maintained that he didn’t intentionally ripoff KISS. And I’m fine to believe him because it’s one of the most simple riffs in creation. It’s not like we’re talking about some sort of bizarre Rush riff in 7/8 time or something.

Megadeth's "The Mechanix" sounds strangely similar to Metallica's "The Four Horsemen".
Also Megadeth's "A Secret Place" is very reminiscent of Metallica's "Wherever I May Roam".
Also Megadeth's "When" is almost the exact same song as Diamond Head's "Am I Evil".
Metallica's "Garage Inc." album rips off entire bands' songs and they even had the audacity to keep the same song titles!
Lawsuit!
LAW. SUIT!

Like anyone would be brave enough to sue Lars!

He would win against the lawsuit and buy himself a new Larssuit.
I'll go now.

Listen to the very beginning of both of these songs. It’s the short chromatic riff.

George Lynch said he ripped off "Some Heads Are Gonna Roll" by JP on the song "It's Not Love."

The main riff of Stryper's Reborn sounds so much like Tool's Sober that I half expected them to make a creepy claymation video to go with the song Though arguably, Dee Snider's Inconclusion is even more blatant:
