"Classic Ronnie" ? While we're discussing possibilities and bouncing ideas off of each other, here comes another DP sweeping statement backed up by...? Like "The SOL solo is obviously played by Mick on the record since he played it live"?...Where else has Ronnie played a solo like that? And it was certainly not a "filler" for FP, Sexdrive was a filler for Flashpoint.
It didn't do well in the charts although it was banned on the BBC, hehe...the last time a Stones song was banned on the BBC I think. It was quite popular in France though at the time with many people who had normally no interest in the Stones finding it pretty catchy. I liked that, hehe...I think describing it as the "Don't Stop" and "Doom & Gloom" of its time is pretty appropriate indeed.

"We sell 'em missiles, we sell 'em tanks" - a correct and unfortunately up-to-date message. And the music is beyond all critics - a perfect rock song with great heavy guitar work by Keith and Ronnie. Qualified extraordinary for being played live ...

It IS classic Ronnie. Just like the funky countryish themes on Crazy Mama and Don't Stop, to name a few.
Before ranting, you should listen more. Ears can be trained, and identifying playing styles within the Stones is something I know a lot about.

The "heaviest" guitar (open G) was played by Mick, though.
I like the song myself - for what it is: a classic rocker. Keith's licks and Ronnie's lead guitar improves it a lot, imo.
