Yeah, but did he play on this track?
I doubt it. The track is sparse enough to hear all the parts and I sure don't hear any additional percussion. peace

Killer intro, great song, fun video. From the great 1978-81 years in which they released 3 terrific albums and zillions of outtakes, most of which are probably better than their official releases since 1981.
Somehow when played live, She's so cold is just too fast for my taste. Same with Shattered and Let me go from these years. Always liked the studio version much better than the live ones.

Perhaps it was recorded but it sure sounds like it wasn't used.

If Keith and Ronnie recorded what they "played" in that video, it would be the weirdest recording ever...

Musically it's great straight ahead rock-n-roll... i wouldn't even call it stones by numbers because it's got this great feel that i don't recall them having before.
Lyrically, though... I think this is the bands' declaration that they intend to not be relevant any more. It's hard to believe that the same group that recorded "sympathy for the devil", "gimme shelter", "let it bleed", and "torn and frayed" recorded a song with these lyrics.... unless you go back to IORR and "short and curlies" and think "oh yeah, i forgot, they kind of gave up on themselves"

Why wasn't this track included on REWIND, JUMP BACK or FORTY LICKS when something... lesser or considerably worse was (Fool To Cry, Respectable, Rock And A Hard Place, You Got Me Rocking, Stealing My Heart, Keys To Your Love)?

I have never understood the preference to this track. Yes, it's a fine rocker but so is a lot else. To compare it to their finest achievements is beyond my understanding. I have seen them perform it once, in Roskilde in 2014, and it was among those tracks were it was clear they would just rush through it and get along. Keith looked bored and Mick rushed through the lyrics.

First heard it in a shopping center while strolling along a row of refrigerators...

Not Stones by numbers, because it's so different.

agreed!
if mick had just taken more time with the lyrics, it could have been a classic song.

I thought, except for rare instances, Keith wrote the melodies and Mick wrote the lyrics. Not true?

According to many people on this board Mick writes a lot of songs essentially by himself. Apparently Keith does the same. They bring their songs to the studio where the band hashes them out. I was just just wondering why it was possible to say with such certainty, for example, that Mick wrote the lyrics for "She's So Cold."
