I read somewhere that Mick Jagger (or maybe it was Keith Richard) wrote the riff of Satisfaction in his sleep.
He woke up, grabbed a tape recorder and went "Bum bum. Bumbumbuummm bumbumbum." And sang the one line "I, can't, get noo, sat-tis-fac-tion." And then went back to sleep.
Forgot about it the next morning till they were at band practice and someone found the tape and played it.
I too have written down riffs from my dreams. Also I am not a famous rock star.
Draw your own conclusions.
Obviously the main conclusion to draw is that you need more sleep
I'm struggling to determine what conclusion I'm supposed to draw
Satisfaction was a hit because Jagger has skill, not because he dreamt it.
I didn't say it wasn't both. If Keith didn't dream it, Mick's skill couldn't have made it a hit because it wouldn't have existed.
I'm trying to figure out what point you're trying to make and there doesn't seem to be one
That dreaming a riff is not difficult.
Okay dude. But what's your point?
Not sure what game you are playing, but it's become pretty stale.
was Keith Richard
