Maybe controversial, but personally I do think though that the influence from the Otis Redding version on Stones later live versions of "Satisfaction" detracts somewhat from the greatness of the song, compared with the earlier live renditions of it from the Stones, that is, the few I have heard.
I guess that parts of the menace about the original song is lost that way.
Saying this, I was one when the US version OUT OF OUR HEADS was released in Norway, then liked the Stones versions of "That's How Strong My Love Is" and "Cry to Me" better than "Satisfaction". ( I love those two covers still.)

Keith and Bill countering each other creates the fantastic tension in the song. Brian's contribution is minimal at best. Tambourine? Acoustic strumming? The greatest song of the summer of '65.

A nice little read re Satisfaction coming out 55 years ago and blasting through the summer airwaves. I didn't remember the song featured for a moment in the movie Apocalypse Now. What a sequence from the movie. For some of us, a transistor radio was the Walkman of our time. It went just about everywhere with you. So, put on your fave version of Satisfaction, crank the stereo volume to 12 and have at it. It's 1965 all over again, baby.

I think its funny too. Its a bass line You dont have to have a hi IQ to come up with that. Genius? People that work on space programs and radar systems are very smart talented individuals. Some people may be in the genius catagory. You dont have to have an IQ score of 130 to come up with a 8 note bass line. I think it's a good line too. But genius? I've seen better players at local taverns playing covers.

"Another appreciation of Satisfaction"?
It took me years to notice the song has not a single drum roll or similar rhythmic embellishment. Just BANG BANG BANG till the end!
So modern!

Typical ignorant mind set about Brian.
By varying his rhythm and playing against the piano, drums etc etc he is part of the 'fantastic tension'.

I very much doubt that. Technically more proficient maybe but Bill was a legend. Proof of which is the fact they suck since he left. Sad thing is they know that.
