Talk
Keith said in an interview that he wrote it with Mick. - Mick wrote the lyrics. Keef wrote the music.
This would surprise me.
This has all the ingredients of a Jagger track.
He even plays guitar, mostly that's on his own songs.
...Nobody said they wrote it together (simultaneously, while being in the same room)... They just each took their part in it.
Or am I missing your point, here?
Yeah, I always remembered it as great live, but I went back to listen to B2B for the first time in forever and was kind of underwelmed by it. Saint of Me is much better on there, I think.
I had written a lot of songs coming into this project that I'd already done. I'd written them and they were all finished and completed. I didn't really necessarily know we were going to do a Stones record at that point... (I wrote) Anybody Seen My Baby, Saint of Me... Gunface, Out of Control, Might As Well Get Juiced.

Midnight Rambler is the only other tune that immediately comes to mind.
Agreed, great track, and better live than on record. The lyric always seemed to me not be to about alcohol but about Jaggers' sex addiction. Dark atmosphere and some great build up.
The album itself I think is the best post 1981 album, just love it. It has that groove, the dark menace, and to quote a memorable review of 'Anybody seen..' - it has that sensual slinky sound.
Love the track and love the album. I hated Anybody Seen My Baby when it first came out but quite enjoy it now.
Anybody Seen Your Taste?
sorry, had to.
Talk about your favorite band.

I was out in the city, I was out in the rain
I was feeling down-hearted, I was drinking again
I was standing by the bridges where the dark water flows
I was talking to a stranger about times long ago
I was young, I was foolish, I was angry, I was vain
I was charming, I was lucky, tell me how have I changed
Now I'm out, oh out of control
Now I'm out, oh out of control, yes, oh help me now, yeah
And the girls in the doorway and the boys on the game
And the drunks and the homeless they all know me
And the police on the corner give a nod and a wave
And they point me to my final destination
I was young, I was foolish, I was angry, I was vain
I was charming, feeling lucky, tell me how have I changed
Now I'm out, oh out of control, oh yes
Now I'm out, oh out of control, oh help me now, yes
In the hotel I'm excited by the smile on her face
But I wondered how was time gonna change her, yeah
I was young, I was foolish, I was angry, I was vain
I was charming, I was out there, tell me how have I changed
Now I'm out, oh out of control
Oh yes, oh I'm out, oh out of control, oh yes, I am

Starts off the greatest 15 minutes of the album: Out of Control - Saint of Me - Might as well get juiced.
Great track.
Always loved it when they did it live.

Surprisingly an amazing late track from them that I just discovered within the last 5 months. They were clearly capable of writing great songs if they really tried (even though they were all separate outputs at this point and this is very clearly just a Mick Jagger track) so at times I wish they just released one or two albums since Dirty Work of just good material. The very few good songs to come out of the last 25 years are marred by very mediocre albums.

One of those tracks that kicked serious ass live. It should have been played regularly since it came out, but sadly it hasnt. Really never cared for the studio version that much.

Good but by no means a classic, the studio version of Out of Control is nevertheless one of the better tracks on BTB. As everyone knows it worked much better live. In the studio version, the dark, atmospheric mood of the verses is quite captivating, but the production on the choruses seems a little heavy-handed, IMO. Interesting how this song is one of two from BTB that seems to be making a statement about alcohol.

Hmm. Very interesting to hear. It sounded nothing like Keith to me so I just assumed it was all Mick. I'm actually glad to hear it wasn't just that way. Just reinforces my point, I'd wish they'd work less frequently, and write together as opposed to separately, and create some excellent new music.Quote

It's one of the best songs they've written in the last 20 years. It's got a great tension to it and you know that from that low key build up that something is going to spill over and explode which it does with that great guitar solo. Kind of a sister (brother?) song to One Hit To The Body.

Really wish they would play this more live. I've seen the band really lock in the groove several times on this one in concert. Some really nice guitar weaving & Charlie beats them up. What more do you want? IMO way superior to say, Emotional Rescue.

The odd thing is that whenever I listen to Bridges to Babylon, I listen to it straight through, as I feel it to be a greatly underrated, good Stones album. I like Out of Control, both on Bridges and on No Security.

The highlight of the late '90s tours, IMHO. Love Keith's "brown sound" on that little Gibson.
I dig the album version but it fades out just as it starts getting good. Is it me or do the live versions from the Bang and 50 tours not stretch out as long as on Bridges/No Security?

Great song live.
On No Security, after the singing stops and they go into that groove, Keith's guitar is just howling.

I've always (kind of) liked the 8-minute long remix version that highlights Jagger's vocal performance...
There's a full length version available as an alternate mix on a CD single, known as "Danny Saber's Final Mix" : [www.discogs.com]
There was also a full-length demo version available on a bootleg.

Yeah, I really liked this from the late 90s. It turned into a really jazzy song, which, face it, is Darryl's better place.
