Eminem has ripped off Billy Joel song titles twice: Say Goodbye to Hollywood became Say Goodbye Hollywood, and New York State of Mind became Empire State of Mind.

Very obvious with the choruses, but the guitar intros are similar even though one is acoustic strumming, while the other is electric picking. Same progression.

This one is less obvious, but the guitars during the verses are identical, the Korn version is much slower, though. Also, the beatboxing in "Freak On A Leash" is about the same as the heavy breakdown at 2:00 in the Primus video.

More Korn vs. Primus. This time, the intros are very similar in how they build up from percussion, to guitar, etc.

Also, the guitar riffs are just similar.
