taking that reasons we can say the same about bass guitar riffs from 81 - 85.

agreed, but that goes for 75% of the early Sisters stuff (and 95% of the post 2000 songs :lol: )

Apart from different chords, rhythm and progression, there are similarities.

Instead, try comparing Alice & Body and Soul. Or anything written after 85...

Sumarizing we can say it's all the same, except for the differences?
Thanks for that discovery! :lol:
The similarities are called "style" if I'm not mistaken. You recognize a Sisters tune during the first three bars for that reason.

...And neither is Blood Money.

Wasteland on t'Mish Resurrection CD featured a blantant Marian riff in it, IIRC :lol:

BTW it must be easy to play 'cos even I have learned it and I'm a drummer...

All the right notes, just not necessarily in the right order.

Yeah, but the same bloke wrote them both so it's probably allowed.

And he used it again a few times after that too.
