And his first signature riff if memory serves.
Apparently it doesn't! Memory, I mean. Doesn't serve. Go refresh

Satisfaction and JJF aren't signature Keith-riffs?

I understood you the first time However, his first classic riffs weren't in open G like SMU and BS. Thought I'd better add that.

Keith's last great signature riff.
And his first signature riff if memory serves. Amazing how many great Stones songs are based on that one, Start Me Up included.

There are at least two of us. I've never cared for it. It just seems like a riff with no actual song underlying it, and the riff itself is trying too hard to "sound like the Stones". It's crossed way over the line into self-parody territory.
Also, the lyrics are just terrible. "If you start me up I'll never stop." Really? That's the best Jagger could come up with?

Yeah, maybe nowadays, and many years and tours prior, but when they first did it, in STEEL WHEELS tour, it was a gas gas gas, and I think its best live versions come from that tour. But none of them touching the simple, archaive but capturing groove of the original.

Just LISTEN to the Start Me Up "1"! It is the Pathe Marconi Studio (room) sound and Chris Kimsey sound. Very much 1977. Unbelievable people still think it is from 1975.
There may still be an unreleased earlier jam from 1975 though, but that is uncirculating.
