I've always been curious about the titles of the Rolling Stones' live album 'No Security' and Ronnie Wood's solo album 'Not For Beginners.' They don't make any sense. Does anyone know, or have a theory about, what they mean? I can't even guess.

My opinion

No Security, is from the lyrics of "One hit to the body" - "I dont need no security........"

Not for beginners makes total sense, only hardcore Stones fans or people really into rock n roll will dig this record

i think the album covers for both tell the story......don't you get it??

No Security is an utterly daft title anyway, especially for a band that usually plays the most "secure" setlists imaginable.

No, Tom, I don't.

EXPLAIN it to me.

Then--the No Security Tour (in keeping with the album cover design) had all these black and yellow security stripes around the stage...were they referring to concert security? Or the stripped-down stage and not having the "security" of a big stage with all the trimmings? Maybe I'm daft but I don't get it.
Just curious, that's all.

I had the same idea bout Ronnie's LP, but I thought it an odd sentiment.

I thought No Security was released before the 1999 tour began actually, so I believe the tour was named after the album and not the other way around. Don't think the Stones give much thought to their album names.

"Not for beginners makes total sense, only hardcore Stones fans or people really into rock n roll will dig this record." said Humanriff77. Must be it.

I get Not For Beginners, but I've always wondered about No Security. I don't get it.

Well, the version of Sister Morphine is just great, couldn`t be better.
