B-b-b-b-b-but that doesn't open with a guitar riff. It opens with an ominous series of odd hums before crashing open wide with a riff largely anchored by Ian MacDonald's saxophone.

And no mention of "One Vision". Surely, even more awesome with those sci-fi effects at the very start, but the riff is brilliant too.

haha 'rock 'n' roll singer' does indeed have the exact same riff as featured in 'wildflower'. hard not to think about astbury howling 'you're an angel, baaabeh!' when you've got that early ac/dc tune going full pelt

'live wire', also from TNT, has a pretty familiar sounding guitar intro too. think it cropped up in some john mellencamp tune. can anyone identify it?

haha 'rock 'n' roll singer' does indeed have the exact same riff as featured in 'wildflower'
I'm also 75% certain that "Edie (Ciao Baby)" is cribbed from Metallica's "Fade To Black"... note that I do not love Billy Duffy any less for any of this.

haha the cult seem to have a knack for recycling riffs that are well and truly ingrained in the average rock fan's consiousness. at least 'aphrodisiac jacket' (my favourite cut of the album) has a unique and distinctly cult feel to it.
