You have to listen to the music, not the song.
There's quite a lot of structure in SCOM and it's simplicity is belied by the manner in which it is woven together.

eg...Slashes riff is 8 notes played in essentially a stepwise fashion. McKagans line is more complex and is set more or less as counterpoint to Slash's riff.

The drums set a rhythm that is (to my ear) anticipatory in that the second strike comes in just a wee bit sooner than expected which gives the song an edge.

If I had the score I could really make your eyes glaze over.
