With Under my Thumb and Gimme Shelter, I am really referring to live versions. The studio versions do not sound so much alike - you've gotta listen pretty hard to hear similarities.
: : Soul Survivor and Must Be Hell ---YES, KINDA LIKE
: : Hot Stuff and Suck on the Jugular ---I'D GO FOR HOT STUFF, BUT YES...
: : Under My Thumb and Gimme Shelter (different rhythm, similar riff)---UNDER MY THUMB STARTS WITH A MINOR CHORD, GIMME SHELTER STARTS WITH A MAJOR ONE. PLUS GS DOESN'T HAVE ANY CHANGES IN THE PATTERN, UNDER MY THUMB DOES: 'IT'S DOWN ON ME...YES IT IS...' --NOT REALLY
: : Satisfaction and Jumping Jack Flash (very similar riffs)--PEOPLE TEND TO CONFUSE THE RIFFS BUT CONSIDER THIS: IN SATISFACTION KEITH STRIKES THESE NOTES: BBBC#DDDC#C#BB, WHEREAS JJFLASH: B B E F# A E F# A , ETC. NOT REALLY
: STILL, THEY'RE SIMILAR IN TEMPO, YES...
: : Any others?...
: Intros of I Got the Blues and Love in Vain.
: Complicated and My Obsession (I don't know why)
: Honky Tonk Women and Country Honk (For obvious reasons)
: Rock and a Hard Place and I'm Going Down (the riff only)
: Torn and Frayed and Already Over Me (the feel and the chord pattern)
: Any others?
