The new ADTR song is amazing but I swear that riff is exactly the same to the riff in What Choice Did You Give Us by Stick To Your Guns…

So the new ADTR song is cool but that's almost the same exact riff from “What Choice Did You Give Us” by Stick To Your Guns

a day to remember song is good, but would be better if it wasn't essentially a stick to your guns riff. Still like it though.

STYG addressed the claims in a response to a fan's question on Twitter, which asked, “@STYGoc how does it feel to lay the foundation for ADTRs new song? Thoughts?”

First, they answered with a GIF:

Then, however, they leveled and gave a straight answer:

@wlasandman for real though, no weird feelings or anything. We're probably more than guilty of borrowing a Hatebreed trick or two.
