green manalishi - master of sparks

[dino]

All is quiet on the greeny front...hope he's doing OK.

Anyway, I've been thinking of this for a while . Has anyone heard "Master of sparks" by ZZ TOP? From the "Tres hombres" album. In my opinion that song is VERY derivative of Green Manalishi, basically the same riff.
In fact, you can hear a lot of Greeny influence in Billy Gibbon's playing, at least during the early 70's. So maybe it's more than a tribute than a rip-off.
