Line 2:
When a band releases a song that could be considered a direct or spiritual sequel to a previous song of theirs. The song is usually in the same key as the original, and may borrow lyrics or music from it.
{{examples
* In what may be the most triumphant example, [[Metallica (Music)|Metallica]] followed up ''The Unforgiven'' with ''The Unforgiven II'' six years later. And then came ''The Unforgiven III'', eleven years after ''II''. The original and ''II'' share some lyrics, and a horn intro at the beginning. ''III'' has neither, but it's still easy to see the connection.
* [[Slipknot (Music)|Slipknot]] did this with ''Vermilion'' and ''Vermilion Part 2''. The first is typical Slipknot fare, while the sequel is a mellow acoustic ballad. Interestingly, both songs are on the same album.
