Kevin from Reading, PaI always thought this song was kind of a rip-off of T-Rex's "Bang A Gong." The guitar riff is pretty much the same.AnonymousYes bowie on bck up vocals,also watch film clip carefullyon HD,is that a trouser snake hanging frm mick?.I prefer advice & story lines in which the musician isn't the one w/ a shattered spirit. Nothing against the blues beat I won't say I despise even blues itself, but my eardrums' rock specialty is anything but tragedy. I know, Ferris, that it's only rock-&-roll, but I like this song. Drew from B\'ham, AlI'm not an expert guitarist, Kevin, but I know you're not going crazy.Ron Wood liked to play Blues power and the Stones were impressed. And why inspiration by Ron Wood ? For a simple reason, Ron Wood played Blues power with Clapton at Rainbow theater in january 1973. The guitars of Blues power have inspired the title of the stones, it's clear. Clapton talks about the power of blues, the Rolling stones change for rock'n'roll. Critics tells the story of the inspiration by Ron Wood, but strangely they never find that It's only rock'n'roll is an adaptation of Blues power.
Rock Spasm from Pembroke Pines, FloridaNot only does this sound like "get it on" by T Rex, but "gimme shelter" is even closer musically to it.And out of all this different music, all out these blues, out of all this country music, out of all this jazz and dance music and reggae music, you know, you make something that's your own." You start off with one thing, and then you mutate into another, but you still acknowledge the fact that these influences came from here and here and here. And I think that's what happened with this band and all the musicians that have played in it. Or an actor starts out by imitating someone else's style. And then they become the most famous abstract artist. In painting, some famous artist always starts out by being an impressionist. You always have to start out by imitating somebody. You can't really do proper imitations of people. It's a very Chuck Berry song, but it's got a different feeling to it than a Chuck Berry song. That version that's on there is the original version, which was recorded half in Ron Wood's basement, if I remember rightly. We had to lose one track, no way around it, and it’s still 23 minutes on one side and 24 on another, coming close to the mark of losing quality.Mick Jagger explained: "The title has been used a lot by journalists, the phrase has become a big thing. “You can only put 25 minutes on a side before you lose bottom and lose top (sound quality). The group was forced to consider the time factor when preparing the It’s Only Rock and Roll album. Some tracks you can cut a verse from and forget it, but we couldn’t on this one.” We tried to edit it, take out a chorus, but it just didn’t work. We didn’t realize how long this one was until after we recorded it. “It’s very hard now to realize the ones before were so short,” Richards explained. It is also their longest single, clocking in at just over five minutes. What the Stones had on their hands was “It’s Only Rock and Roll” (subtitled “But I Like It”) – a celebration of the genre that is their first single to be the title song of an LP. “Then Mick wrote most of the lyrics and it was like putting two or three songs together. “We had the hook line with nothing to set it to for a long time,” Keith Richards explained in the Rolling Stones‘ London office.
