Title: Springsteen cops "Wild Honey" riff -- who else? Post by: Aum Bop Diddit on February 19, 2012, 07:51:26 PM Was listening to the otherwise pedestrian new single by Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band "We Take Care of Our Own".... That opening riff! A straight cop of the theremin opening of "Wild Honey!"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-x8zBzxCwsM&ob=av2e Not much to add to that except maybe we can have an interesting discussion of any other riff lifting of BB songs -- did Led Zep ever do their thing to Brian and the boys? I know Blue Oyster Cult invokes "Good Vibrations" on "I Love the Night". Title: Re: Springsteen cops \ Post by: cablegeddon on February 20, 2012, 04:25:49 AM No.
I think that's his best song since possibly the 80s. (The album Rising had some pretty good songs though). Title: Re: Springsteen cops \ Post by: Rocker on February 20, 2012, 03:00:01 PM Brian's own "Night time" uses the opening of Wild Honey as well, although more chord wise
