Was the riff changed? I notice the first one strums it a bit different but for the most part it 's the same idea.

EDIT: I've heard/read Jon say the "Now you have my attention" line and it's absolutely a douche thing to say.
Yeah, I just meant the slight difference in the intro. But it's not just that and the lyrics - the whole breakdown and the solo are different, too. I really doubt that it's even close to being the same take.

And I heard that bit before. I have no doubt that JBJ is probably super "down to business" when it comes to song writing "behind the scenes". I don't imagine him being very childlike and full of wonder; if he's impressed it's gonna be a very CEO-type of "impressed response".

On a side note, that podcast/radio programme also has an episode on Desmond Child, and... I've heard him on a different podcast a couple of weeks back, and he just seems so super glitter and a tad fake and arrogant to be honest. I love the guy's songwriting, but Shanks seems like much more of a down to earth guy.
