I didn't know what to make of it when it came out...and I still don't. It sounds kind of sterile to me, and yet, it has an undefinable something that is really cool. So I can't dismiss it, yet it's never one of the tracks I'm in the mood to hear. Yet, when I DO happen to hear it, I kind of like it.
If it sounds like I'm confused that's because I am.

On "Black and Blue" a little bit boring, too long I think, although the lead part of the guitar is very interesting, but in my opinion not loud enough. I like the live version from "Love You Live" with one of the quite good solos from RW; this version has more power and is more energetic.

It's a very nice groove - but it just goes on and on and doesn't get anywhere

But when the groove is so great......does it have to "go anywhere" ? I'm quite happy staying with that groove, instead of seeing it taking the bus off to somewhere else.

i agree ... and the guitar solos within the groove are priceless!

It's one of the few Stones numbers that just doesn't really work for me (as it clearly does for most people). My loss, I'm sure, but you can't like them all.

with the proper combination of drugs and alcohol, they can all be liked.

What combination did you use to allow you to like A Bigger Bang?

Transcended by the groove, perhaps?

not sure about hotstuff, it confuses me a bit, first time i heard it was on love you live and was getting into the stones then, was my first album and couldnt really figure why the stones would make this type of song. however after hearing the studio version i came to realize that the song had something to it that would appeal to many people.

Pirated this legally, but can't take credit, so thank you, much pleasure to watch for me as I had not seen; Hot Stuff 2002 rehearsal of a rehearsal at 7:40 in the video:

Very surprising when it came out. At first I was shocked, thinking the Stones had gone disco. But it's really more funk and it's got an infectious groove. I still like it quite a bit.

Did you know disco already in 1976, or was it more like funky pop?

This groovy funk monster is one of the best tracks the Stones released in the 70s. But it´s way too short, should have lasted for at least 22 minutes.

What an incredible voice Mick once had. They never did a better funky track after that one (although Sexdrive comes very close).

Besides DW the album I most oftenly listen to.

I am very surprised not to find Hot Stuff on 40 Licks. Should be on any seriously compiled sampler. It´s not even on GRRR-deluxe, what a shame.
