The riff is composed of only three chords (G, F♯ and E), is played continuously throughout the song (excepting two brief 4-bar bridges).
The 3-minute-and-9-second-long song, with its distortion-heavy guitar intro, single-note piano riff played by producer John Cale of the Velvet Underground, and steady, driving beat, gave the cutting edge of the early heavy metal and punk sound.
In 2004, the song was ranked number 438 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the "500 Greatest Songs of All Time".
Pitchfork Media placed it at number 16 on its list of "The 200 Greatest Songs of the 1960s".
