After a couple of spins today, I'd say it's a real bass, too. It's definitely only one guitar in there. I don't think Bill played guitar on Heaven.
Still, "Bell" Wyman played three instruments, like he said
Where you got this Kimsley-Quote from? It´s a lovely insight in song making.
better than rocks off/rip this joint?
That tape looks great!
Keith probably didn't know about Heaven until it wound up on the album. Just like he didn't know his title was changed to Tattoo YOU.
Seemingly, he paid the price for lack of involvement and initiative...
I like Heaven, though...
As a singer, yes - definitely!
Tattoo You without Keith would have been... duller...
I think that some Keith-tracks after 89 (Thief in the Night, How can I stop) are on par with "Heaven" in their boring-features.
that's great. very cool.
wow...my mind is blown. I never new this. I agree, great track and I guess maybe that's why it sounds so different to everything else, when the guitar players in a guitar band don't play on the song.
A fantastic track. And Bill had been playing around with synthesizers for some time. We only think of Bill as a bass player, but he took piano lessons growing up. I love his marimbas on 'Don't Be a Stranger'. I'm surprised they didn't use him more, but maybe he felt he wasn't going to get proper credit, so why bother. Paint It Black, and Jumping Jack Flash should have had Wyman as a composer. Very talented.
Agree, I love it. But I don't think it gets overlooked by many, most seem to love it, from what I recall of the track talk.
It's so soothing, it's just great to lay back and take it all in!
I don't think he's calling him a liar. He just recalls the session differently. Time and chemistry will do that. Lying requires that the false statement be made knowingly.
Talk about your favorite band.

Forgot about the bells/chimes, thanks.
Is there a real bass in there, or is it a synth?

In another thread our DP noted that Bill claims to play the guitar on Heaven.
In fact he is credited on guitar on timeisonourside.
After repeated listens:
- still hear only one guitar
- me thinks that guitar is JAgger
Kimsley: "I played on Heaven, I played alleged piano on Heaven. That was laid down with just Charlie, Mick and I, I think. I don't think anyone else was in the room. But the session was called for like midnight and Mick and Charlie were the first to arrive and Mick started playing the chord sequence and I sat down at the piano and started following along and next thing I knew it sounded really good. So I told the assistant to roll it and we put some things on it and it sounded very good".
So my guess is that Kimsey is right and Bill overdubbed bass and synth.
Your turn.
C
p.s. Whoever is playing the guitar, Heaven is WAY better than Stop Breaking Down. I said it.
Where you got this Kimsley-Quote from? It´s a lovely insight in song making.

I've always thought that Heaven - No Use In Crying was probably their best back to back track selection.

One of my favorite tracks. I know I say that a lot!
But it's true. I've always loved this song. It's romantic, sexy, mysterious, haunting... and it doesn't really sound like any other Stones song, in my opinion.
It's also the toughest one for me to play on guitar. Some weird chords I never use make it a challenge.
I've tried to woo the ladies with this song, too. Didn't really work out for me, but it will always be a special favorite.

Absolutely wonderful song. I'm a huge fan of the entire B-side of Tattoo You, it always amazes me how, so late in their carreer, to could come up with something that at the same time was so Stones and so different and new.
Heaven is one of their best songs ever, on the level of Gimme Shelter, although of course quite different in style. They have the out-of-worldness in common though.
I am suprised to see the guitars were played by Mick Jagger. The rhythmical approach shows he must have picked up a lot from Keith.

"Heaven" is the most boring piece of music the Stones ever released on an album. A complete throwaway, I cannot imagine why they lifted it from the can. They rather should have wiped the tape after recording. Awful beyond compare. Keith is not on it, not even overdubbed it, probably because he didnt want to waste his time on stuff like that. Really odd song and oh so boooooring. Such things can only happen when Keith is not in the room.

I've loved this tune since day of release.
It rolls along low and steady, and has an echoey atmosphere reminiscent of great dub.

FANTASTIC song. One of their very best. Side 2 of Tattoo You is so exquisite. Just unlike any other side they'd put out, back in the day when you would get up and flip a record over! Happy to say, that's an exercise I am more into, having got back into vinyl about 4 years ago! WHY did I ever leave it, and give all my albums away, when I went CD ...

Heaven is such a great song.Too bad it’s overlooked by a lot of fans.I think it’s unique in the Stone’s song canon since it’s the only song Wyman plays guitar,along with synth and percussion.Which guitar is he playing.And is it reallya Jagger-Wyman composition

I never knew he played guitar on it! It is a Jagger/Richards composition, haven't heard Bill mention anything about co-writing it.

come to think of it, I play synthesizer and three other
instruments on Heaven on the new album. That's just me,
Mick and Charlie on that track - only nobody realizes it
because there are no credits on the album.
