Doesn't he use the Baba O'Reilly power chords in the Bat Out Of Hell introduction? Jim was without doubt influenced by that particular song. I have heard its influence in several Jim songs. Although he does not directly plagerise. I can see why Jim likes Baba O'Reilly. To me its the best Who song. Not only do you have the wonderful power chords in the introduction but also there is Pete Townsend's unique use of the Moog synthesiser (well, unique for the early seventies). If I had to pick a rock writer who was in the same league as Jim, I would say Pete Townsend. | |
