don't you think there is some Stones feel in it? Maybe guitar riff....

He is a big Stones fan, so possibly.

It's almost Rock And A Hard Place, that intro. Just turn an Am7 to an A and there you have it

Think it was Cindy. And playing his best Keith Richards if I might add! Cheers! 5

I met Slash once in LA years ago. I asked him if he intentionally ripped off Dead Flowers when they wrote "I Used to Love Her". He laughed.

Nice guy (at least he was to me)

Maybe that's why he laughed then, because he thought I was an idiot!

I always thought he lifted the riff from Soul Survivor for this song.

Slash only plays the intro. You know the part where the son is putting his stereo to loud according his dad.

The guitar riff itself is played by Tim Pierce. But the riff is written by Jackson.

Always thought it sounded a bit like It Must Be Hell. And Jackson worked with Jagger in 1984 for State Of Shock. So he must have listend to what Jagger was doing at that time.
