Beggars Banquet is the pinnacle.

Let It Bleed and Sticky Fingers are less interesting variations of the formula laid down on Beggars Banquet.

That's a tough call. I love BB and the formula, but I think that the individual cuts off Let It Bleed and SF lead them to even higher greatness.

It's nice to have the problem of arguing over which is better. Wouldn't it be awful being a KISS fan?

live with me is great

great rock and roll song, not too long either; bass and drums are amazing

hits you and then its gone

the guitar and sax style was a true portent

pretty sure Mick Taylor is on this (recorded version)

kieth's bass is great, its a simple line but he never plays it the same and mixes it up, he randomly picks from 4 different melodies each time around, (like he does on sympathy for the devil) and uses major 3rds where you would probably figure he'd play a minor 3rd.

a major 3rd is four frets (or semitones) away and is like for example, an E is a major 3rd of C, or in 'live with me' how he plays A flat as the major 3rd of E (where you'd expect the minor 3rd, which is G)

The Stones doing what they do best. Sleazy, bad boy, rock n roll. Perfection in every way.

Who plays which guitar on this track? Like which guitar is Keiths and which one is Taylors?

woulda been nicer if we'd had billy "swingtime" wyman on bass...the song doesn't have near the swagger and swing of the live versions with bill...

TOTALLY disagree. Keith plays the bass with VENOM not swing - just as the song calls for.

On the studio version, I would say that MT plays the barré chords and licks at the end of the chorus, Keith bass, licks through out the song and solo.

I wondered.. why is having tea at 3 such a nasty habit?

I think Richards is on the left and Taylor is on the right (that is if the YT video is accurate). Richards does the Berry licks on the hooks, Taylor plays very similar to what he does live: the little rhythmic stabs and counter-riffs. Richards tone is cleaner while Taylor's is more overdriven.

Live, Richards combined his bass part with the Berry licks. Works quite well.

GYYYO version all we need to know - Although the studio version is very appeasing as well.

Could someone isolate the different guitar parts?

I have audio of the isolated guitar parts that I'm going to be posting to my YouTube channel soon. That's also why I was asking whose guitar parts were which so I can properly label them in the videos.

Thank you!!

LWM is a great kick a$$ song. Love it loud, love it live. A masterpiece IMHO.

I never liked that song - seem to be the only one...
For me there's melody missing and I hate the chorus.
To me: boring.
Live: also boring.

I'm sorry

That would be great.Thanks

Aren’t those two guitars pretty well-panned and clear on the studio recording already? And both are "playing to the band", not to shine.

Great recording just the same

I like how they revamped it for the 1969 tour with a completely different intro.

Great tune! I think it would have done well as a single.

I wonder if this great song was "B" Side at the time 68-69.

So, what is an appropriate time to have tea at then?

around noon ...when the cucumber sandwiches are ready .....



ROCKMAN

Not a minute before 4:00. Please. Shudder the thought.

T@3

that sounds delightful!

It would have not gotten much air-play with it’s ménage a trois message.Mick would have had to change the lyric. to”a place for two”, if he sang it on Ed Sullivan.But even then ,the lyrics shout”in between the sheets”,and maid stripping , would not have made the airways.Just like Sweet Virginia Star Starand Short and Curlies were not on the radio in America in 1972 ,1973 and 1974, respectively

I think the gist of the song is that taking tea at three is simply not done by English standards, as four o' clock is the right time. Still is, I suppose.

Exile,to me, is the combination -or variation as you say- of BB, LIB and SF.

It is my favorite line of the song. It is sarcasm because "nasty" is too strong an adjective to describe the break of the English "law" regarding tea drinking normaly at 4:00pm. Mick is making fun of something or somebody here.
