Speaking of Sway, Keef didn't even play on that track. It was the Mick and Mick show. Took me years before i realized that Jagger played rhythm guitar instread of Keef.
But it's one of my favorites anyway....
Jagger did a nice job there. But again, he had the ideal teacher. KEITH.

Get Yer Ya Ya's Out is a great album.
My favorite guitar solo is the one in "Sympathy For The Devil" on Get Yer Ya Ya's Out.
There"s a great live version of "Sway" on Too Hot For Snakes, an album by Carla Olson with Mick Taylor. It has a beautiful guitar solo at the end. You keep wanting Taylor to hit this certian note and then he finally hits it. That's beautiful.
I have that cd! Gorgeous guitar work.
I got to meet Mick after a show in 2000. Great guy. And the show he put on was magnificent. Pity he can't hook up with the Stones again, even as a guest musician. Let Woody go take a 2 hour break.

I'm Glad you like Keith. I get a kick out of what he says. The guy has a nice wit about him. It's one the things I like about the guy. He's smart.
The people who get upset about what he says need to lighten up.
Thanks for the reply.
Keith has always been my favorite Stone. Even way back in the 60's. Always will be.
-
Keith Richards is my favorite Stone and I really don't care if someone has a go at him. I'm not that insecure .
AMEN!!
No Keith= no Stones. I've said it a million times, but I'll say it again. Jagger's solo albums make good beer coasters, but Keef's discs are priceless.
And I'm sick of all these people gettting all butt hurt because Keith made a flippant comment. Big fucking deal. Grow up, kiddies. Jimmy probably had a chuckle over it.
-
I agree but we see examples of just the opposite of that on this site (and others) each and every day. Their loss.
Agreed. Led Zeppelin certainly would not have been what they were without a lot of diverse artists providing inspiration. If they would have ignored the values of soul and country for example, imagine what we'd be missing.
-
I'm the same way. There may be some artists out there who's music I don't particularly care but that doesn't mean I hate them. As I've mentioned, I'm also no fan of rap but if people think of ways to ingeniously work into their music, I have no problem with that whatsoever. Am I supposed to hate Roll the Bones just because Rush makes a nod to rap during it? Hell nah.
You don't have to LIKE an artist to appreciate their abilities.
-
I'm pretty sure folks felt the same way about the hippies and any radical change in fashion but none of that is my point. I'm referring to the way diverse musical styles (including rap) have been fused over the years. If there were no such innovations or pioneering in music it would remain stagnant and pretty unexciting to listen to. I never thought I would ever care for scratching but the way the North Mississippi All-Stars do it, it doesn't bother me at all. Plant has also used elements of trance and trip hop in his work with The Strange Sensation (influenced by Portishead, no doubt). It's that sort of thing that keeps me coming back and forever interested in music. Having a closed mind about rap (or any other type of music) would get me nowhere.
I must admit I'm impressed by your open mindedness. Alas, I have no such patience. But I do try to be respectful of all artists, even if I don't like them. That's something, I guess...
-
The buttom line is rap is not pleasing to my ears. I think it sounds down right dorky. Even the hip-hop Fashons look dorky to me. The drooping pants thing for example. They would look cooler wearing a pink tu-tu.
I'm with you on that one. But with that said, there are people that think Zep sucks. They're wrong, but just sayin'...
-
There is NOT one single song/album that i don't dig by the Stones, but that 'quirky' album is my fave......psychedelically!! :)
Nuthin' wrong with that! Cheers!
-
Anyone for this album by the lads??!!!!!
This is definitely one of their quirkiest albums, with plenty of filler. BUT- songs like Citadel, 2000 Light Years From Home, Dandelion, She's A Rainbow (with JPJ, no less!) make it well worth having. Citadel is my personal favorite. It's a real barn burner!
-
She can post on my thread anytime.
I'd rather thread her on my post.

I can't say I get that impression from that record at all, same for their live shows. Then again I find that most of the people that think the Stones should hang it up haven't even seen them in concert, they're going by what the press says without actually forming their own opinion.
That's true to a large degree, but I did see them live in 2002, in Ft. Lauderdale. And of course I enjoyed the show. But would I spend the kind of coin they charge to see them again? No. Their live show basically hasn't changed since 1989, save for the setlist.
Now- if they played in a small venue, and ONLY THE STONES THEMSELVES without all the Sideshow Bob stuff, I'd still go see 'em. No question. That would be a fun gig.
-
While Voodoo Lounge definitely has some good songs, I still think Steel Wheels is the best of their latter day material. Then again, I also like A Bigger Bang. It's no masterwork by any means but I still enjoy listening to it.
None of those are really BAD as such. Steel Wheels does have a couple of killers- on "Hold On To Your Hat", Keef really tears it up on LEAD guitar where he now belongs, "Terrifying" is a real cool groove. But a lot of the album sounds rather tinny to these ears. Voodoo Lounge is a much warmer sounding album, and Mick sings LIKE HE FUCKING MEANS IT on this one. A close comparison would be like comparing Robert's "Manic Nirvana" with "Fate Of Nations". The latter is a warmer, more soulful body of works.
A Bigger Bang? Not really a BAD album per se. A fun listen. But it sounds like they're now just phoning it in. On autopilot.
It's time for Keef to fire up the Winos and get back to the GROOVE that is Keith Fuckin' Richards.

Oops, I was thinking of Paint It Black. It's on the US release of Aftermath.
Ah, there ya go. Paint It Black is the opener on the US version. With that said, the UK version is better otherwise.
-
I recently listened to Aftermath and acquired these:
Black and Blue
It's Only Rock and Roll
Goats Head Soup
Voodoo Lounge
I'm really starting to enjoy the Stones A LOT. Aftermath was pretty damned great, but I downloaded the UK version, and I wanted Satisfaction...but that's ok. It was still great.
Satisfaction isn't on Aftermath anyway. It's from "Out Of Our Heads".
Those are all very decent choices, even Voodoo Lounge. VL is the last great Stones album. You'll enjoy those!
-
The only thing post Taylor that was great was Some Girls. Really a great album. Rock Action, if you read this, what did you once refer to as better than Get yer Ya Yas out? I assume it must be a boot? Because Im sure nothing in the stores is as good. Of course Hot Rocks is the all time must have if you are into the Stones. Covers everything big in studio except for Some Girls and Cant you Hear me Knockin and a few others like Angie.
There are two well known, superb professional recordings out there. One being the soundtrack to "Ladies & Gentlemen" from 1972, the other a KBFH show from Brussels, 10/17/73, commonly known as "Bedspring Symphony". Those will blow your mind. These are boots, but very easy to acquire.
-
You really think they peaked after Mick Taylor left ?
All I have to say is:
The Stones peaked in the studio in 1971/72, and as a live band in 1973.
"Ron Wood....but he can't so he won't." Those thin, weedy attempts at solos kill me...
-
It's a good cd, even excellent in spots. It doesn't deserve the thrashing it gets by the press.

EXCLUSIVE!!
CAPTURED! An actual photograph of an Evster in his natural habitat!
And RICKY, please! All this self-loathing will get you nowhere! She's out there buddy! Go find her! I never thought I would, and now look! We even have a cat (such as it is)!
YOU know what a good beer is, I see. Cheers!

Gots no baby pics...just as well. Sepia photography wouldn't look that good.
But what the hell. Here's a recent one.

With all due respect, Neil and Crazy Horse were doing "grunge" long before Ragged Glory. Same for Jimi Hendrix, it just didn't have a name back then other than saying his music sounded "grungy". That said, Ragged Glory is well worth mentioning. Yet another Neil album I need to add to my collection.
Point taken. "Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere" is as grungy as it gets. More so than 'Ragged Glory" in fact.
-
Not ONE mention of Ragged Glory??
This is prime Neil, rockin' out down and dirty. This CD has been often credited as one of the first true "grunge" albums.

Well, since Jason told a poster on here that he doesn't visit this site, then I'd say nobody. Of course, I'm pretty sure Jason would say his dad, too.
No question about it. Not only is Jason a humble guy, but he has nothing but the utmost respect and admiration for his father.
-
No offense to Jason or the creator of this poll, but....
ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING??
Jason did a GREAT job, no question. But the Drummer God Of The World is
JOHN HENRY BONHAM.
Nobody will beat Bonzo. Ever.

OK, I'll bite.
Keith's comment wasn't necessary, I'll give you that. Definitely not needed, but you should also know how he is by now. He's always spoken his mind, whether we agree or not. I'm not going to become a Keef hater because of it. Fair enough?
Let's smokem peace pipe, OK?
