So why is the song so bad?

Because it's a looping outtake?

I thought it might be, but closer listening reveals differences throughout.

That 'loop feel' is the spine of the song, imo. I love it.

I noticed this at the time. Thought it was indicative of how much the reissue projects were driven by Mick -- i.e., totally. Keith did the Keith thing and cackled something along the lines of "I didn't want to mess with Exile too much; it's sacred..." Translated: Mick did all the work!

For Keith as well? Sounds like three variations tops?

I'm only talking about Keith's guitar. Bill is certainly playing through the whole thing.

I think it's one of the best things they've done since Tattoo You and Undercover actually.

I swear they purposely buried MT on the US version since Keith lives in the US and probably doesn't have a UK iTunes account...

I don't care if it's looped and spliced together, etc, - I like Doom and Gloom, but this song IS the best new release in 30 years for them, with the caveat being that I'm talking about the UK single version - which has MT's solos cranked up - vs. the US version which has them buried.
Another example of how dysfunctional they are when it comes to what they release - I swear they purposely buried MT on the US version since Keith lives in the US and probably doesn't have a UK iTunes account...

Keith played a new solo and some licks on So Divine + a guitar track on Dancing In The Light. Probably some vocals as well.
So in fact, Keith was more involved in the Exile Deluxe recordings than in the SG Deluxe-project...

That was a joke that Keith couldn't buy or listen to the UK single since he lives in the US. (You can't buy the UK single version if you live in the US on iTunes as iTunes basis what you can buy on where your iTunes account is registered)
The point being, it does seem like an odd coincidence that Keith was clueless MT was even on the song, AND that the US single and album version all but wipes MT's stuff out. Why two versions when the UK version is so much better?
