It always amazes me that, when another artist is showing his respect for the Stones by playing one of their songs, the only thing he/she/they get is a big bashing from the Stones fans. Of course Meatloaf and his band can not hold a candle next to our boys. What did you expect? But I would thank the man for bringing this homage and maybe he just turned some of those fans of his onto the Stones. In that case he added his part to carry on the good work.
There are great covers from Stones songs like LSTNT by Bowie (maybe even better than original), GS by Patti Smith is well done, JJF by Johnny Winter is simply awesome but this one has no taste, that's all !
Sorry for my english ; I'm a french little boy (but I like it)
Meatloaf is Tastelessness incarnated. But ya have to be like 41-42-43-44 y o to comprehend how kids back then (circa'82) could fall for this.. Slightly before Bananarama this was.. And Adam Ant.. Not much else rockandroll-ish music around these days ..
