Requested move

The article should be located at Loaded (song) (where it previously was) according to Wikipedia:Naming_conventions#Album_titles_and_band_names. "(single)" is not a conventional disambiguation term. InnocuousPseudonym 22:13, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

I agree Although this isn't formatted as a poll, I'll throw in my support. -Justin (koavf)·T·C·M 22:34, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

"Sympathy for the Devil"

It's been a long while since I listened to "Loaded", but I clearly remember thinking the bass line was almost exactly the same as The Rolling Stones song "Sympathy for the Devil". Certaintly the chord progression is the same (E, D, A, E). I had been in two different bands with people who insisted on covering the song, and had had it drilled into my head. But can this be said in a Wikipedia article? For example, 'The bass line may remind the listener of the Rolling Stones song "Sympathy for the Devil'." Does this sort of thing need a citation? --63.25.102.10 (talk) 15:33, 26 November 2008 (UTC)

I think that would come under personal opinion or POV, certain similarities between songs might remind one listener of something, another, not. The chords are the same, and no doubt the Primals were going for a Stonesy feel ( as they did on a few tracks in their career). But the EDAE chord sequence is older than Sympathy anyway. (Off the top of my head, Fortunate Son by Creedence Clearwater Revival and I Can't Explain by The Who also uses it). Saying "This may remind the listener of" is the sort of subjective trivia stuff that a encyclopedia shouldn't bother with. I also reckon that "The bassline may remind the listener of..." would qualify as weasel words. Bear in mind that#'s not meant to be an attack on you, I'm not calling you a weasel, but Wikipedia is quite clear on this stuff. If there had been evidence that there had been sampling like in Bitter Sweet Symphony, or plagiarism Dazed and Confused by Led Zeppelin, that would be historically and materially relevant - there were court cases and settlements in both cases, not for basslines I should add. Inspiration might also play a part if you could show a reference, for example, Geezer Butler said in a BBC documentary that the riff in Black Sabbath by Black Sabbath was inspired by Mars from Holst's The Planet Suite.
