"Fields Of Regret" And "School's Out"

[Loveit2Death]

I'm new here so here I go. Maybe it's just me but about 1:53 or so into "Fields Of Regret" it sounds like you're playing the "School's Out" riff on bass. Did the band keep working with that riff to make "School's Out" later on or am I hearing things? Needless to say, I'm a big fan of the original band and I've wondered about this before. Rock and roll!

That’s a great spot

Others have pointed this out over the years. It does sound like Glen played my bass lick on guitar with a bit of a shuffle feel but, even though the band occasionally revisited ideas, this similarity wasn't conscious.

Welcome to Dr. Dreary's Secret Dungeon.

I always thought the “boneyard” segment of the live arrangement of “is it my body” sounded like a prototype for the riff too

That never struck me but I can hear the similarity - again it's that shuffle swing feel.
