Of course it is and later played in Studio 54 and other discoteques. Meanwhile Ramones and Dead boys were playing at the Bowery,CBGB and me and lot of other young freaks converted to those kind of things. Btw Hand of fate is my favourite black and blue song

I prefer Hey Negrita to Heartbreaker. Many of the songs you mentioned are repetitious as well.
However, it would be boring if we all liked exactly the same stuff
True true. I like steak but every now and then I love a nice greasy fat cheeseburger. Variety is the spice of life after-all.
Well a cheeseburger is just ground up steak... with cheese. You need to come up with something better. Like a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
Did you miss the greasy part? Should I have gone more for certain cuts? My analogy was to say that sometimes I love these looser sloppier songs hence the use of cheeseburger. Peanut butter and jelly is someone covering a Stones song.

Hand of Fate has always been my favorite too, but still, I can't help but love the guitars and drumming of this track. People keep saying funk and/or punk, but what about reggae, certainly Negrita has some of that in this song as well.

So sad to see how bad ronnie's guitar skills went downhill once he got "comfortable" being a Stone..
Love his work from 1969 - 1976...

Why haven't I heard an outtake version of this??? Outtake or semi-finished?
Kinda like the long studio jams they cut down to make Some Girls tracks.

He is comfortable here AND plays fantastically. It was more like he stepped down because Keith took over, imo. That eventually resulted in a horrible decade for him in the 90s. Luckily, he was back playing really well on the 2012-2014 tours.

Of course you can find the odd moment he played well post 1976..most guitarists have flashes of brilliance..gone were his great shows where he played consistent high quality guitar work....but hey im sure you will argue otherwise..

The shows became different, and the need for guitar gods vanished. Ronnie was partly a victim of that. It wasn't until the 90s his playing sucked.
Two different things.

The shows were hardly different...so you mean The Stones didnt require a capable guitarist in 1978, 81/82 and 1989/90 tours?

Not in 78/81/82. Long guitar solos were out of fashion.
In 1989/90 Keith was back in top form and took care of most of the extended solos brilliantly.

Err.. then someone forgot to tell Eddie Van Halen, Randy Rhodes, Eric Clapton, Carlos Santana, et al.
But I agree, the long noodling was starting to get a bit old by that time and I think it ended for the Stones as soon as MT left the group. I can't remember many extended solos by Ronnie, I don't think he has the attention span to pull it off.
peace

Both Clapton and Santana had shortened their solos considerably by then The other two had yet to make it really big, right?
But what I meant was the long, long, uber-extended blues/fusion solos for rock bands. Eddie and Randy played hard rock. Punk came and went, and the synths and the new wavers came...
PS: Ronnie had a several minutes long solo on every show on YCAGWYW in 75/76. Maybe he used up all he had back then

Since this particular track talk thread has been up for a little bit I've been listening to this song a lot more - as well as BLACK AND BLUE. This song is fantastic. The raunchiness of it is supreme. I don't find myself running to the bathroom to cry about how it's not EXILE or whatever like some elitist Stones fans seem to do when dismissing anything else they've done that's not what they like.
Just put on BAB and play it loud.

Worst track: "Melody". Least appealing song of the album apart from that, to me: "Hey Negrita".

For that view to have been presented by at least one poster: To me: espicially BLACK AND BLUE contributed to a comparative slump in the career of the Rolling Stones.
