tastes soo good, doesn't it?
I listened today to the Biggest Bang, weaving's top class.

it's such a nice summertime tune and they can really rock it.
and you gotta love the lyrics

Yep, love the lyrics, love the studio version, love the 1981 live versions!

This is a song I've never been able to dig...

Glad to see someone else agrees with me...

I'm also often confused about the weaving of guitars we all know Keith likes so much. Listening to Ronnie era boots vs Mick T era, it sounds the same to me...Keith plays rhythm (and solos on certain songs) while the other guy plays leads...

F*cking CLASSIC!

You mean the Ron era is the same as the Taylor era when it comes to guitar interaction with Keith?

No, but even in the Brian era, I don't hear the weaving so much as I hear two guys trading leads back and forth...

Keith ryhtm guitar= ok to me & you can hear Jagger sparing his voice.
But 13 in a dozen,no surprises.

Wonderfully awful. You've gotta love it.

I used to have a VHS tape of the Stones' worst moments compiled - it was excellent to watch and listen to. About half the movie was on it, ha ha, as well as some things from the SW tour. A friend and I would intently play Love You Live and LSTNT just to hear how bad they were and just love it.

She's So Cold is a perfect example.

The studio version is one of my favorite Stones songs and is great. The live version, not so much.

I do not like Ron Wood's playing and I don't like him. So, it is difficult for me to revisit the early Rod Stewart and Faces stuff even though I spent a lot of time there way back when. But I heard "Around The Plynth" on the radio, was impressed and revisited those albums. It is hard to get past my prejudice, but there is some fun and even great stuff in there. I will not get into my analysis of Woody's playing other than to say most of it is effective; a lot of it is derivative; his rhythms never quite grab me the way there're supposed to. But my point is with Faces he had a forum where he could express himself, musically, artistically, whatever.

For him to join the Stones and remain there all these years must be like jumping into a black hole. Can anyone tell me what he adds to this song other than to the muddle?

Taylor had a musical vision. If he stepped on Keith's toes, fine. If it doesn't work, quit and he did. Ronnie just seems to want to please Keith and play what he is allowed to play. He brings no vision to this band; or if he does he is not allowed to express it. It's disgusting. He is content with a pay check, being one of the Boys, looking and playing the part. Whatever he had going with Faces never translated for me in the Stones. This song is a perfect example of that. The fact that this type of RnR is "classic" Stones of the Woody era does not speak well of any of them, Keith, Jagger or Woody.

A relief I'am not the only one.

Are you kidding?

Kidding? I think listening to the worst moments of the Wood era could be quite humorous!

I prefer Laurel & Hardy...

It's actually very easy. Listen to Shattered, Imagination, Beast of Burden, Waiting on a Friend and Let it Bleed from Hampton, VA, December 18, 1981. If you don't like this you don't like the essence of Stones music. You might not like the sound, the clothes, the looks or the 80's in general, but what you hear here is true Stones music. It's the same essence that makes Aftermath and Exile such great albums, the essence that gives Brussels 73 its brilliance and Handsome Girls its pump and push.

It really is that simple.

Indeed,the tele-sound is not the RS sound I like.
To me ,it's MT & KR Les Paul sound.

I love she's so cold. That clip from LSTNT is awesome - yes it's fast and sloppy but it has a certain something the stones don't have today. Love the studio version too.

SAY WHAT YOU LIKE!
I'M HERE CAUSE I LOVE THE STONES, LOVE TO DEATH!

being after a shit party I feel like I'm dying to hear it one more time, thanks.

Well, don't know whether it is that simple!

Maybe there was some of the Stones essence in this early 80's stuff.

But to me there is quite a lot of difference between their best 60's songs or even the Taylor years - and their playin on that 81/82 tour.

I think many people like it that much cause it was their (first) big Stones tour.
And as an extravaganza that tour was really huge!
But musically . . ?

Why should this 81 be the essence of the Stones?!
Apart from that, "Cold" was never a strong song to me.

I like it too, Amused.

Thank you for echoing my thoughts exactly!

Don`t exagerate with this patethic Taylor`s era.As a live band Stones have always the same main quality - weaving guitars.The strongest points in their career were 73 Tour and then 75,81 , 89 and probably all contemporary tours which we know the best and they are essential for us ( i suppose) as Stones major avantage and fascination.For me 81 tour is a peak of guitar oriented true rocknroll band.
Wood plays significant role in this creation.
Anyway there are several other contexts of Stones creativityand image and Taylor plays his own part as sign of early 70`s times in Rock.
