My bad (partly).
But I don't think he means the "you better get some sleeep toniiiiggghhttt-part"? At least, I can't hear the resemblance. The CDA-verses, however, are not too far off the bridges in ST ("they robbed you off your dignity..." vs. "slipped my tongue...").

The bridge in CMA is what Keith used for Sleep Tonight, it's the exact same progression. I haven't pulled out my guitar to find out if it's the same key but it sounds similar.
Never before or since have the Stones really lifted something from another of their own songs in that way.

Used for what, the sax-parts or the verses ("slipped my tongue...")?

The Stones pretty blatantly re-used Soul Survivor for It Must Be Hell, right?

The bridge, when the sax comes in at 3:55, is the main melody and chorus of Sleep Tonight.

C/F/G?
Pretty common chords Will have a listen.
It's fantastic if that part, too comes from CDA!

Right. I'm probably repeating myself here as we had this discussion a year ago or so, but some people repeat themselves also so as to make it seem as if they're the voice of many. It's what a critic wrote at the time: it's not really a good Stones album, but it's a STONES ALBUM, a lesser one is still a tad better than the rest. Or words to that effect.
I can sure think of a number of albums that I bought in '85, '86 that weren't as good as DW. Jimmy Page's Mean Business, Robert Plant's Shaken 'n' Stirred, Judas Priest's Turbo, Iron Maiden's Somewhere In Time, Ozzy Osbourne's The Ultimate Sin, Van Halen's 5150, Blue Öyster Cult's Club Ninja, Rush's Power Windows, Uriah Heep's Equator... oh and Mick Jagger's She's The Boss.

Maybe people like us are pretty alone even here (maybe HMS knows what I'm talking about) but I think DW is a damn great album. That’s the ultimate hard rock album by a great band. To those who believe that Steel Wheels, Voodoo Lounge or Bridges To Babylon are better: They're more predictable, more commercial, but not really better.

Nah, for me DIRTY WORK never approaches the quality of UNDERCOVER, PRIMITIVE COOL, TALK IS CHEAP, STEEL WHEELS, the two new FLASHPOINTs, MAIN OFFENDER, WANDERING SPIRIT, VOODOO LOUNGE, BRIDGES TO BABYLON, or the SOME GIRLS bonus disc. I do like it better than SHE'S THE BOSS, GODDESS IN THE DOORWAY, FOUR NEW LICKS, FOUR NEW ALFIEs, Charmed Life, the furry GRRRegory twins, or CROSSEYED HEART, though. I would probably say it's batting the same average as A BIGGER BANG, the EXILE reheated leftovers, and BLUE AND LONESOME.
It's the Stones, none of it is dreck. For Clapton's sake people, I'm not GasLight. I like "Honest Man."
