DoomandGloomI could swear I've heard a version of BS with Clapton, no?Quote

The Stones used it as an audition tape for guitarists including Clapton, then they released it with a sax solo, probably so sick of hearing guitars.
No BS-audition for Clapton. Only a jam when celebrating Keith's birthday. A good one, though.
Why would you confuse it for a guitarist audition when Taylor was in the band?

clapton would never need to audition for a job with the stones. the opposite is not true, however.

True, they probably wouldn't even consider him after that whole 'Clapton is God' stuff.
The Greatest Rock and Roll Band in the World with God on guitar prolly wouldn't have sat well with Mick...or Keith.

Well, you're making a rather transparent reference to the PPV I see. The only way that would work, if you said it was featuring Ga-God.
BTW, why are so few out so far this year practicing their new material?
Where is Munich? I heard he was really getting into Ovaltine lately.
Why do they call it Ovaltine anyway?
The jar's round, the mug's round, why don't they call it Jarmugtine...or something?

DoomandGloomyeah man so many of Mick's lyrics would get banned today... Stray Cat for example. Brown Sugar is a dangerous song by any standards, I wanted to play it at an inauguration party 4 years ago but the band wouldn't do it. The Stones used it as an audition tape for guitarists including Clapton, then they released it with a sax solo, probably so sick of hearing guitars. The Juliard version is hysterical where Woody cops the sax solo and Keith starts congratulating him. I still think Wild Horses is a comp lead track with snippets of both guitarists mixed as one performance.Quote

Brown Sugar is just a nasty, smoking track with a groove and chorus that are so good that it went straight to no. 1 because it was about slaves and S&M and oral sex.
fixed your post.
I'd like ti think that's true, but I think most people didn't get it. Mick's vocals are a little buried in the mix, and he garbles as usual. I remember seeing the lyrics "how come you DANCE so good, just like a black girl should," which is hilarious because by today's standards, it would be considered just as offensive as the original lyrics. But, in those days, that was fine.

That's a great version. One of my favorite Stones moments in Gimme Shelter is where they're in the hotel room listening to the playback of "Brown Suger". You can see it in Mick and Keith's eyes - they know that they have a great track. Another great scene is the band in the studio listening to "Wild Horses". Again, you can see that they love the track.
