Do any of you long term IORR'ians know if this is the most pages on here for a Stone on a given topic ??
Also is it possible to find all the get well wishes for Keith when he fell from the tree. That was so emotional at the time, it was touch and go for a while

I don't recall but SuperTurd was up to quite a few pages...

I can't recall any other Stones topics, solo or band wise, having as many pages.

Might as well keep it going until his birthday, December 18.

Was it recorded by Keith during 70s? Atually his voice sounds more or like 1970s, more like sing me back home

No it was recorded about 2012, 2013 . That's a calculated guess, but i know what you mean, he sounds young.

About 230k copies sold (3 weeks)

How does this compare to other band members solo efforts?

Keith really hit it out of the park with this one.

I just love the sound of this record. Have been playing it non-stop for the past couple weeks.

It's damn near perfect,if you ask me.

The only blemish could be Keith reliance on cliches to fill out his lyrics. It doesn't bother me the least bit.

Riffhards: The "what are you listening to..."-thread must be it.

Sorry but i meant the most pages on a 'Stone' meaning Mick or Keith topic, albums etc , not the longest thread about anything. Thank's anyway

The "stash" in Robbed Blind is probably a metaphor for something of value such as the affections of the platonic woman to whom Keith's friend wrote a song

That thing popped up this morning. 61 pages? I thought it was way more than that. 61 pages of garbage though. As it was pointed out by Rocky, no one went to see Damian Marley.

I'm 52, have almost 300 Rolling Stones albums and singles and been a dye hard Stones fanatic since 1973. I don't expect Mick to sound exactly like he was in 1972. Of course his voice will change. But the way he sings he has control over. It's not so much his "phony" affectations (he did it on Dear Doctor, Far Away Eyes) - he's done that for a long time - for certain songs it works great. It's his recent effort (most notably on A Bigger Bang, Alfie and especially SuperHeavy) where he uses vocal inflections, trying to "Sing" - you know like trying to pull a Mariah Carey in spots. Maybe hard to explain, but it is squirm inducing. I play every stones related release to death, but Mick killed SuperHeavy and it's actually got good songs on it. He makes it unlistenable. Alfie also get's ruined. Old Habits Die Hard is an AWESOME song with a shitty vocal. And yes the mix is important. His vocals are now way to prominent and high. Should be back low in the mix. My favorites are SF, EOMS and GHS - I like that kind of mix - and it has nothing to do with Mick's age.

I sit and listen to Alfie right now and must admit that I enjoy like crazy just because Mick sings so fantastic, a perfect mixing of his voice, ' Angie '-class on it all .... we hear different stuff simply ... what you describe I can feel for how Paul Mc Cartney sounds these days ... a bit too high tones .. he sounds really poor sometimes ...

Anyway, I'm gonna grab that Superheavy album tomorrow already..

Mick sounds thin and whiny on the Alfie-soundtrack, especially the stripped-down version of "Blind Leading The Blind" ist hard to bear.

Really strange, on stage he still delivers quite good vocal performances of the standard warhorses, but when it comes to singing new songs in a record studio, he sounds completely awful most of the time. He sounds thin, hollow, weak & metallic-cold.

There are a handful of songs on that one that I.....

DW is my 6th-favorite-Stones-album.
No way one could compare Micks voice on DW with his voice on the Alfie-soundtrack. On DW he sounds strong, powerful and vital, on Alfie he sounds very weak. Dont know which songs you mean.

Yes, if one were to base their opinion on that criteria, then a majority of Tattoo You would be considered a 'negative'.

As has been stated already, the 'older' songs from CH were probably in their embryonic state - incomplete and unfinished.

Yes, but either way, a song's a song. If it was from the 70s, and I didn't hear it until now, and it was great, why would I (or anyone) care?

I was actually agreeing with you - was just giving an analogy and explanation of the CH tunes in question.
I also agree with the above part as well.

The song, "I'm a Roustabout," originally was written and recorded for the 1964 Presley film "Roustabout,"
co-starring Barbara Stanwyck, but the song was rejected by producers and never used

Article from 2003: Elvis- I'm a Roustabout

A great song!

Okay but there is a thread for that.

Remember when you hear him on stage his voice is woven with Bernard and Lisa's excellent vocals. Bernard follows Mick's voice like no body in the world can. Mick is hard to follow but Bernard Nails it night after night, He is so underrated, Mick would sound empty without Bernard and Lisa imho

The Mick bashing is totally unnecessary, but why on earth shouldn't the fans be allowed to celebrate Keith's album - the first new Stones related release in eons - here in a thread dedicated to that very release?

I'm sure both Jane Rose AND Mick are happy, btw.

Cheers to an excellent album, and may we keep on celebrating it for as long as we enjoy it

"Celebrate"? "We"? So the point of discussing a new Keith Richards album is to celebrate it? And those who don't hail it as a EXILE-like masterpiece - there starts to be a consensus about that among certain suspects here - should stay away and not spoil the party? Like what that LongBeachArena guy did? Usually this kind of mass psychological phenomenon, which externalize differing opinions, is usually is a bit scary.

Besides, there is a a typical double standard among Rolling Stones discussions. If there is a Mick Taylor thread, it is perfectly alright that about half of the posts are critical - if nothing else but making fun of "Taylorites". Or think about that Jagger/Taylor S. thread... But when it is a Keith Richards thread, any differing - critical - opinion is destroying all the fun of the majority, and should be rejected, banned or whatever. There is nothing wrong with liking, if even adoring Keef Richards, but the amount of fanaticism - with the power and justification by this new album - directed most clearly against that horrible Jagger (the reason for all bad things) makes at least myself feel a bit uncomfortable as a Rolling Stones fan. "Keithettes" in this sense seem to have a lot thinner skin than "Taylorites" (and since there are so many more of them they have more power to dictate the opinions) or even Jagger fans (a bit like their idol?). That's why I made the Jane Rose remark in my sarcast pos tabove - she has done her living for making that distinction within the masses of Rolling Stones fans (naturally, serving the best interests of her client). But not all of us do think that Keith Richards is The Rolling Stones.

Anyway, I have probably discussed enough of CROSSEYED HEART in this thread (some 150 pages ago or so), so I don't really feel adding anything, especially taking the supposedly achieved 'consensus' here. But in principle, I don't like the idea that critical, differing opinions are not accepted or even allowed. Or if one does not hail something, one should not say anything. That gives a bit biased picture of the whole thing, and leads to a rather one-sided account of reality, when the 'truth' is dictated by a community of 'yes-men', that is "we".

But yeah, go on with your celebration, folks... "Best Stones Ever". etc. etc.

- Doxa, not one of "we"
