I love the 12" mix of OHTTB a lot.

Horrible song. Overproduced 80's junk with the ok intro the only redeeming feature - barely.

This is the song they needed for Voodoo Lounge. If it had been written in 93/94 and produced without the influences from the mid 80's...then....it could have been a true Classic.
This song BELONGS in the '80s. I think it sounds great as is. I'm not automatically opposed to '80s production style...remove the reverb and the big snare sound, and it's not the same song.Quote

Lovely guitars, though. I use to like this song a lot, but eventually I got tired of the slickness of the background vocals.
It's a nice testament of the time, imo. The Stones's answer to the poodle metal and pop music going on. They still sound like the Stones (as always), though

Come On
but the guitar-sound is indeed good and raw Dandy!
"One Hit", and DIRTY WORK altogether, is a good argument that a good guitar sound, or even a good guitar playing, is not enough to make great music. It needs more. The Stones, if any guitar-driven rock and roll band, has understood this better than no one else.

On Dirty Work they lost the "roll". It started on UC but there was enough groove in the songs to cover for it. But by DW even the grooves, for the most part, were MIA. The "roll" returned on SW, though the glossy production muted its effect somewhat. DW also started a trend in Stones albums where it could be argued that the outtakes or earlier mixes were superior to the finished product. "One Hit's" intro hints at that crashing acoustic/electric dyanmic used so effectively in the past-JJF and BS immediately come to mind. But where that dynamic acted as a springboard in those two songs, on "One Hit" its all there is, the song, despite the guitar fireworks, doesn't really go anywhere after its effectively jarring intro.

I'm so tempted to say "especially the guitar solo"....

Yup - Opinion nailed it.

I disagree with all these opinions. There may be an ear infection that could possibly be distorting this crazy song. I recommend medical help who differs.
