I noticed this during their live shows, and can kinda hear it in the official version. Sounds like Stone is playing the beginning of Michael Jackson's "Beat It". Anyone else notice this or am i just hearing things?

    The riffs don´t sound alike to me. Take another listen to both riffs and you´ll agree. DTE´s riff is much longer for starters...
    And he still gives his love,
    he just gives it away...

    lol wow. never noticed that, but now that you pointed it out i will every time i listen haha. they are very similar, not exact though
    My favorite Pearl Jam song: "Corporate Greed Boat Asshole Behind a Counter in the Oval Office"

    Oh, no, please don't ruin DTE for me. :( I love that song, especially live. :(
