I love the new Stones song, Plundered My Soul. But I suddenly realized what I do not like about PMS. Mick Taylor's guitar work, as usual, is excellent, but at the same time it is too loud, incessant, overwhelming, and intrusive. It detracts from Jagger and the self harmonizing, the rhythm machine of Watts and Wyman, Keith's playing, and the piano. In fact, Taylor has been too assertive on many of the CD's he has contributed to.
I remember reading somewhere that Keith had threatened to punch Taylor at a live concert, because Taylor kept increasing the volume of his guitar. Keith apparently felt he was being slighted, since he had after all written most of the songs and believed he could not be heard.
Listen to PMS on more time. Taylor dominates this song and many other songs. He almost ruins it. PMS is too much Taylor and not enough Stones.

OK so this is getting hilariously loaded.
What are the mixes? The 7 inch. The album version. The video version is the album version?
Is the 7" on youtube for listening?
Goddammit!
Hmmm, since Mick was a Stone at the time the original track was recorded and one can asume that he did not engineer, mix and have final say on the the final released version, Plundered My Soul is just how the Stones circa 2010 wanted it to sound. Therefore, one could conclude that Plundered My Soul is all Stones, Care to debate this?Quote

Nothing's wrong with it, Except people nitpicking. It's an outtake, after all, but a damn good one. Personally I think a lot of the excitement is because it is a shock (a pleasant one) to suddenly hear a "new" song with the Jagger/Richards/Watts/Wyman/Taylor/Hopkins/Keys lineup, and it compares mighty well to the post Steel Wheels version of the band - even though it's an outtake.
