I can definitely hear the similarity, but then again, the blues are generally working with a small pool of riffs and tempos. The Motorhead song still blows it out of the water IMO. It's grittier, the rhythm section makes it extra heavy, Lemmy's vocals are far meaner, and when it speeds up in the middle, the song just goes to a whole 'nother level of awesome.
Another example of a quasi-rip off that outstrips the original: I'm pretty sure Iron Maiden jacked the riff from MSG's "Armed and Ready" for "Two Minutes to Midnight", and totally blew it out of the water.
