i thought the same thing when i read that passage.....maybe an idea came from these jams.....jamming with edward has alittle of this....blow with ry = midnight rambler?
didnt realize nicky was such a druggie either.....but i guess he could still play...

i think the glimmer twins might have been alittle seedy back then.....they paid session players the minimum amount.....Hopkins should have gotten credit on a few songs were the piano is the main riff......name a few....mmmmmmm tons actually

nicky got paid standard wage.....have you read the book? we all know how cheap they can be , surely a stones fan knows that.....lets see Loving Cup , Sympathy, the list goes on....do u think a guitar riff = the piano riff? do you think jagger/richards wrote the piano for salt of the earth?.......your statement is empty

well take the melody line out and what do you have?.....

i would also add that hopkins added more than a melody line.......She's A Rainbow

true....i just think he fleshed out many songs with his playing....like a team....always wonder why the jagger/richard team didnt hand out writing credits more....on certain songs it seems like the right thing to do....Sympathy without the piano is a strummed guitar and tons of drums.....

writing the words does not make a song....strumming a guitar doesnt make a song.....its all the parts put together.....angie without the piano ?.....whatever

i guess so......what about bill wyman coming up with the riff to paint it black?jumping jack flash? is he lying...no credit, not a session musician......granted the piano on say streets of love doesnt deserve a writing credit, but what about coming down again or you cant always get what you want? surely the piano line makes these songs....just a thought

The Wyman/JFF-story is something else. If he indeed came up with the classic riff, which the song is built around, he would deserve songwriting credits, imo.
Then again, he could have come up with the beginning, which is a standard B/E/A-chord change, and that makes the situation different.
