But are/were these solos done by Mick really soooo bad?

hell yeah! some of them were downright embarrassing and probably wouldn't
have sold at all had they not had Mick's name on the label. I might buy
every official Stones-related release too...but I also won't blindly defend
bad songs.


IORR............but I like it!

Its a Shite song,I had the misfortune of seeing him doing it on "top of the pops"I squirmed all the way thru .

Doxa, I'm glad that your understand my perspective on this; I find it hard to sit back and listen to those critics who characterize Mick's solo efforts as " garbage " and simply Mick's attempts to destroy the band. As we both agree, there were so many other factors that figured into what went down during this period and to be fair, and historically correct, you DO have to go back further in time to the root of the discontent. Keith sure was " a spoiled child," reaping all of the benefits from Mick's hard work, thus the need on Mick's part to do his own thing.
