Easily the nastiest bass line in rock... it truly set rock and rock off on a trajectory in the metal zone. The funny thing is if you listen to metal covers of this song, for instance Motley Crue, it sounds like a Saturday morning cartoon versus Sir Paul's soul shattering performance on The White Album.
Hard rock and heavy metal definitely were influenced by this song, IMO. Maybe they even came out of this song, this sound. Just like the Kinks predated punk rock.
Thumbs Up 4 The First Metal sOng!!! When I wnet tO the Concert In Mexico City, My Mommy covered her ears with her hands, The nOise was sO Hard! But then I Realized that It was The best part Of The Concert!
-Wanna Keep Rocking ammh?. Yeah? sO will be Rocking 4 You!!!
@SaintCheerio I dont think so, this is heavy metal. this is where it started. its not considered heavy metal anymore, but just think about back then, this song was heavy.
blisters in mah fingers!

@Sambarre ,Yes ,he wanted to make a dirtier sound than "I Can See for Miles" which isn't very heavy on metal,but is a classic in it's own way.
