Thread Name: When is a riff not a riff?
Subject: RE: When is a riff not a riff?
gilly mor, the riff was originally, arguably, the composition of   Bill, regardless who played it on the recording
Bill Wyman played a crucial, foundational bassline on The Rolling Stones' "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction," a riff he felt was as important as Keith Richards' guitar hook, though he didn't receive songwriting credit, highlighting his subtle but vital rhythmic contribution that drove the iconic track's groove
