I never listened to Black 'N Blue much (and this may have been posted here before) but Gene definitely stole this opening riff for Domino... BUT @ 2:42 Tommy's Kiss influence shows thru as he rips off Only You from The Elder!

Then years later, Buck Cherry turns the Only You riff into "I love the cocaine, I love the cocaine" and throws in the riff from Shock Me...

Promises made, crying in vain, all empty. Never accepting the blame and not letting go of the shame. A river of tears, as months turn to years, all wasted. On someone not willing to change.Now only a shadow remains!

the track was cowritten by gene,Jaimie explained this recently.
Btw,domino to me always sounded more of a ZZtop rip off anyway.
