In this last post you were speculating about Slash's relation to Stones guitarist /him being a Wood or Richard fan.
Re Reinhardt I assume you are joking.
The hells we create... yes it could be an interpretation although when Jagger talks about millions unemployed I still think he's focusing on a particular regime.
A sort-of reworking of the 'Soul Survivor' riff. It's a bit of an obscure song despite being featured on a mainstream album. It's never been performed live and one wonders if it would have been on the playlist for the never realised Undercover-tour.
Yeah but it doesnt sound like the Stones except for the guitarist who actually does sound like Keith. But pretty lame to just steal a riff away.

if they hadn't changed the lyrics, it would have sounded even closer to the rolling stones version!
I cannot imagine that Slash doesn't know EOMS. Without albums like this there had never been a band like Guns'n Roses.
I think albums like Rocks and Two Steps From The Move were more important for GnR.
Too be honest I've never heard about Hanoi Rocks before ;-)

Undercover was actually my first Stones studio album purchase, and I guess that makes it an early fave.
Viewed in the great scheme of things It Must Be Hell is no masterpiece to listen to but it's enjoyable if nothing else.
A lot of their later songs were neither enjoyable nor listenable (thankfully, with exceptions).
She Was Hot and Too Much Blood could be great tracks if they hadn't that horrible 80's mix. The 80's mix works on Undercover Of The Night, though.

A real downer to end the album, worst thing on there. The album itself is quite fun if you're in the mood for stones lite, but this stinks the place out.

Still remember going out to buy Undercover when it was released.
I reckon it's a tough sounding record and It Must Be Hell is a great tough little rocker

Great, catchy song from the last real Stones album.
I enjoyed Undercover more than most, it had a great vibe to it.
I always interpreted this song to be about the hells we create, sometimes in our own minds. I kinda hear the Zen/Buddhist/Christian exhortation to wake up and see that this can be heaven if we let it.
Anyway, Mick has always enjoyed his life no matter what shit goes on. One of the things the Stones are about.
The hells we create... yes it could be an interpretation although when Jagger talks about millions unemployed I still think he's focusing on a particular regime.

'Some kids are hungry
Some overeat'
Great lyric, Mick.
Why don't the kids that are hungry and the kids that overeat sing this song all together?
Embarrassingly bad song partially redeemed by that over-the-top outro (which is bad too but can be fun if you bust out some exaggerated dance moves when nobody’s watching).

On which song was this riff the best: It Must Be Hell, Soul Survivor or Rock And A Hard Place?
Black Or White
If that counts, I'd say Whatever You Want
At least Michael's boys were inspired by the riff mentioned above.
I'm not sure if Slash and Michael were that into Soul Survivor.
Rick was more likely to be influenced by the Stones.
I cannot imagine that Slash doesn't know EOMS. Without albums like this there had never been a band like Guns'n Roses.

A forgettable non-entity, as I have forgotten it and am none the worse.
The best advice I can give you: grab that Undercover CD, and play it really loud. Open up your mind to some 'new' Stones, and find that the album actually is much stronger than you remembered. Great lyrics, great singing, great grooves, and the last album where the Stones still meant danger.

It's one of the low-points of Undercover, together with Wanna Hold You, Too Tight and All The Way Down. Which is such a pity because the rest of the album is really very good, especially Tie You Up and Feel On Baby.
I can see how people might like "Must Be Hell", because yeah, that thundering Soul Survivor riff is cool, and the Honky Tonk Women chorus hiccups too. But then, luckily, those two songs are still available, so why listen to Must Be Hell? More than anything, it shows the Stones had started occasionally to give up trying. "Oh well, it ain't that bad, let's put it on the album".
To answer Dandelion's question, the riff works the best on Soul Survivor because it works as a climax there, it gives the song speed and dynamics and most importantly, it swings.
I sort of like it on Rock and A Hard Place, because it has a completely different feel there, it actually works nicely as a built-up before and as a climax after the bridge.
On Must Be Hell it's just a very static pattern that adds nothing.
I think you meant "Too Tough". "Too Tight" is on BTB.
