Tell Me :
Talk
I swear, if Keith hadn't said what he said about "a lot of people rock but don't roll" or whatever the hell it was he said, a lot of you wouldn't have the mind to be able to come up with your own thought.
Hell, Fire, and Brimstone!
Are you kidding? Do you really believe Keith has anything to do with it?
Go through your history books, and find out when the term rock music started.
Christ, they played rock´n´roll in the late 40s already. It is a unique musical style - and has a lot to do with rhythm, you know...
Keith´s "roll-remark" is really a humorous take on it.
Or Little Queenie off of Ya-Yas
You seem to have missed the point entirely. And I'm talking more about the way people interpreate Keith's remark and use it as a way to elevate the Stones and put other bands down. I know damn well when the term "rock music" entered the lexicon, but that has nothing to do with anything.
I liked 19th Nervous Breakdown. Now, that was refreshing.
But that is the basis for what Keith is saying, really...
You can turn the volume to 11, but it won´t roll any more than bands who swing.
I'll take a shot at it....Charlie Watts
I disliked the SNL version of It's Only Rock n Roll.
I thought Jagger was great.
I like the Foo Fighters a lot.
Jagger singing It's Only Rock n Roll with the Foo Fighters, not so much.
The drumming was wrong for the song (for the reasons already stated) and I need a piano on it.
Talk about your favorite band.

Hmmm... It may "rock but it does not roll", as Keith says. I much prefer the original or Ronnie's version from Atlantic City.

The Foo Fighters are ham-fisted. They reminded me of the muppet drummer Animal - whatever they lack in subtlety and talent, they try to make up for in enthusiasm and volume.
That excuse for a guitar solo was *sad* and then Mick had to call them back into the song. Amateurs.

I thought it was really good, Agree one of the better Mick vocal performances in long time, Thought the foo's were rocking pretty well but the drums were a bit too heavy handed for the song. Overall really good though

There's more to music than just "swinging". You can play rock and roll and not swing and it's still good. Enough already with using "it didn't swing" as an excuse to downplay the Foo Fighters' performance!

I just watched it on Daily Motion.
I think that's pretty great!!.
And that IS the groove that the Stones should have played it live in (although I think they nicked it from Get In On - T Rex).
Mick's singing is fine and I wish he always kept it straight like that. No silly vowels.

Finally watched it....It was fantastic!
This is my Mick Jagger, the one i've missed for about 25 years.
He seemed to be really enjoying it and you have to wonder if Keith/Ronnie can sustain that much energy anymore.
Mick seemed liberated from what has become the tired and by-the-numbers performances by his own band.
And for those nitpicking the Foos' performance - It's Only Rock an Roll -
this is what its supposed to be...fun and passionate.

Mick was very good, but for some reason I don't like seeing him do Stones songs with other people. My wife felt the same way when we watched SNL together this past weekend. Musically it was fine, but I just like seeing MJ with the rest of the boys. This is not a knock against the bands supporting him either.

Mick & The FF nailed it! Nailed it like the original. They should tour together. I would be more excited about that tour than another Stones tour unless MT and Beck were involved and unleashed.
I want that Mick and FF on my mp3 player.
Any ideas on how I could get that done?

I thought it was some of Brenda's best flat, monotone off key shout singing I've heard since he sang the Last Time with some kooky accordion player. What's next, rocking a version of Miss Amanda Jones on the sousaphone?

Dear Mick, ditch the Stones and go solo.
I've HATED the way The Stones have played this live from 1989 onwards. HATED. As in, I'd take Keith's death-croak singing over hearing them do that awful wrong-key dumbed-downb-for-Keith version they've pooped out for decades.
THIS version is more like it! Screw what the old Foo-haters here say, that was awesome. Great job Foo Fighters!!!
There was a time when I thought the Stones were timeless. Now it's clear that Jagger is the timeless one. The other ones; meh - leave them at home.

I saw a nice kind of chemistry between Mick and the band. They appeared to be enjoying themselves
with these great songs and their enthusiasm infected me. I was quite amazed to see a band perform
these songs so close to the original and NOT become a slave to a note by note delivery.
The performance had a very natural atmosphere, the artists playing relaxed, yet very focused.
I liked it, yes I did.

Have not heard Mick sing with this much commitment or passion for YEARS, it's wonderful to hear Jagger sing the song in its "original" arrangement, high notes, quiet sections, change in tempos, and to hear the full blooded cynicism that the song can deliver.
Who was the musical director on these?
Also loved the other performances!
Wish he would tackle the Stones in the same way!
I liked 19th Nervous Breakdown. Now, that was refreshing.

I think the truth is that almost any band that gives a Stones song a try does it better. The Stones warhorses has sounded more or less the same since 1989.
And they haven't been able to put some energy in the "new" songs they have tried out live either.

It's almost sad to see how energized Mick was with other musicians, playing a song that I thought he must be totally BORED WITH...but alas, with the FF he brought a whole new ( or OLD) interpretation to....I guess it would have to be the old, original interpretation that they played, and it did SMOKE! YIKES! Imagine an entire concert with Mick fronting a different band for each Stones song...SWAY could actually song great! Can you imagine a tune like " Connection" or " She Smiled Sweetly" with Arcade Fire?? Or Loving Cup done over? It would be exciting, and that might be what Mick was trying to illustrate.
