There is no proof what so ever that Brian Jones wrote the main guitar riff. (Heteren (talk) 22:45, 11 December 2008 (UTC))

There is no proof what so ever that Heteren is going to leave any positive comment on Brian Jones undeleted ... (LOL) Thank me for giving you the hint ... (Zapspace)

Keith said Brian "played a great riff". That probably means Brian came up with a riff. If it was Keith's riff he would have said that.

Almost no doubt that it was Brian playing the main repeating riff on the studio recording; many sources have said so and any archive footage of the band playing, for example on British pop-music TV shows of the era and live performances elsewhere (as on the 1965 tour featured in the film doc "Charlie Is My Darling") shows Brian playing the riff, while Keith strums D, A, and E chords in the verses and choruses; however, the main text of the article is in error when it says parenthetically that Brian plays the solo on the song. The instrumental break, after the second chorus, features Brian still playing the main melodic riff while Keith (not Brian) solos over it. This is pretty obvious also from the fact that the song, as the article indicates, disappeared from the Stones' set list for 30 years (1967-1997) coinciding with the last time (ha!) that Brian toured with the band, early spring 1967, on the European continent, and not returning to live performance until the "Bridges to Babylon" tour of 1997. Ronnie Wood takes over what I call the "Brian Jones riff" on that and subsequent live performances. Maccb (talk) 12:59, 21 December 2015 (UTC)

Legal Disputes
Is there any better info on the legal disputes over the Verve's 'Bittersweet Symphony'? The account here (and in other relevant Wiki articles) seems to be based on confused sources. Supposing that Andrew Loog Oldham gave the Verve a licence to use a sample from his orchestral version (as claimed, though Oldham later disputed the extent of the licence), no-one with any legal knowledge would suppose that this would cover the Verve against copyright claims from the owners of copyright to the orginal composition. (Even if the Verve themselves didn't know this, their record company's lawyers would.) Maybe they thought they could get away with it under a 'fair use' argument? But I would be interested to know from anyone with better knowledge of the case.109.157.227.44 (talk) 17:25, 15 October 2011 (UTC)

Genre
Is there really no source proving any genre on this song? I‘m sure there is some. I think most will agree that the song is Rhythm and Blues. Roooooon (talk) 10:40, 9 May 2019 (UTC)
