HANG FIRE plays at the 1:25 mark in this movie preview
the otherwise fine track is somewhat tarnished by this overexposure, imo.

Fantastic song, even better live in '81. Hated the '82 version with the horns though.

82 horns version is better than what would transpire with a chorus background in the current act

The backing track on this one was recorded way before 1979? Didn't this song follow them for three album sessions: BAB, SG and ER, before winding up on TY?

There are several early versions of the song floating around on bootleg. One of these more-bluesy early takes includes the line "My old lady is a lazy bitch" and refers to her "hanging around the swimming pool". In some kind of way these politically incorrect lyrics sound much more like the real Stones than Jagger's rewrite to make a comment about the UK's political and social problems in the late 70's. Perhaps one day they might even release the 'Lazy Bitch' version as part of a bonus disc with the 'Tattoo You' album.

Great performance on an otherwise forgettable tune.
The stones have the ability to squeeze a surprising amount of quality out of material that is otherwise not worthy of their canon.
You can hardly call this a 'great' song, but on the other hand it's great to listen to...much better to have it, than not.

hangfire is quite a catchy song.
but i dont see the similarity with all down the line and silver train, in my opinion i think silver train is much better, all down the line is quite overrated, its not really that good.
