unfortunately whoever took the solo at 2:55-3:45 sounds better than Mick T. at least to my ears

the arrangement of the song is interesting. kinda cheesy but laid back. but seriously, what the hell happened to mick? he's hitting wrong notes. bum notes. this sounds like one of those "shreds" videos on youtube. clearly his wrist and fingers are weak, he can hardly play. what's the story there? has he had a stroke?
Where's Lightnin' to explain? He/she has told that during the Germany gigs Taylor had an infection in his jaw, I remember. But he does make a rather good impression to me, his hair being natural grey, communicating with the band members, moving around. The last part of the piece certainly is better than the beginning is my comment after one quick listen.

Doubts about what, A? If he still can do it? I guess when he would perform this with the Stones we would hear something totally different.

Anyway, hearing Taylor playing this piece is ten times more attractive and interesting than what I heard on that rehearsal clip of the Stones. Bad singing as well, btw. And Wood simply doesn't have it. Taylor at least shows during some moments that he has it. A bit out of tune, bump notes, some mistakes, that all doesn't really matter in music. The special moments matter. They are present on the Taylor clip but are absent on the Stones clip. Sometimes it seems I'm one of the very few here who really has any feeling for music. Guys like HM, JMARKO, audun-eg etc. don't have it. They don't understand that the 10 seconds in the Taylor clip I mentioned make up for all the 'wrong' notes. Btw.: ever heard of dissonance? When Mozart let his string quartet K 465 start with some heavy dissonances people thought he had become crazy, because that wasn't possible in music. I see the same thing in Taylor sometimes. That makes him more interesting and clarifies partly his talent to move and touch if you're able to be touched and being moved. But narrow-mindedness can stand in the way, doesn't it HM? Anyway, fan or no fan, Ron Wood does not have the capacity to move and touch by his playing. At least not with the Stones, and I doubt if he can in any other setting. If he could I would be the biggest fan of Wood.

Stop making a full out of yourself with posts like this. And to add: posting here is about quality, not quantity.

But we all know he has lost weight recently and made a much healthier impression. So quibbling about a performance of one song from more than a year ago seems rather futile to me.

I remember a post of you in the thread Who is Who. Is that what you mean by "Stop making a full out of yourself" and "posting here is about quality, not quantity"?
Come on Mathijs, don't act like a mediocre schoolmaster please. I won't repeat your own remarks.

850 posts in 2 months time is just too much, especially since it's this continuous stream of how you understand it all so very well. It just makes IORR a bit less interesting to go to. It's about quality, not quantity.
Concerning my Who is Who post: I would say that 1 or 2 OT posts in 7 or 8 years (when did IORR start?) should not be too much bother to anyone.
Mathijs
You should post that on a Doe Maar forum.Quote

Do you have a TV? Well, when you are looking at a program you're not interested in any longer then you zap to another channel or you switch off your tv.

You are not the one who decides how many posts are allowed in how many time and neither the one who is managing the threads here. Accept that. Just skip my posts. Do you have a TV? Well, when you are looking at a program you're not interested in any longer then you zap to another channel or you switch off your tv. Switch off my posts and be happy. If you think you can set standards for others, then you must stick to them in the first place, no matter what. But you don't set any standards here and you are not the one who decides what is quality and what isn't. The same as for quantity. I find many of your posts below my quality standards, but I don't tell you what to do or to not to do, Mathijs. You suggest to have more rights than I because you're longer on this site. But that's only an idea in your head. Well, read this post and leave the following ones alone or read them and be annoyed. That's up to you. End of discussion.
