I don't mind showing my influences, and I enjoy being around people knowledgeable enough to spot them. I knew when I wrote that song that it was pretty unoriginal, and it didn't bother me at all, because I wanted to do my take on riff-rock, which is not the most original subgenre. I still get a kick out of listening to that one, mainly because the way we got the crescendo at the end to build so smoothly -- that, and the fact that both guitar solos were one take with no punch-ins, and completely improvised except for the harmonized line at the beginning.
Anyway, the LC reference was in the guitar's tone, and in the oddball Phrygian-dominant lines after the little breakdown.
