It's Roddy Lorimer, on trumpet, nor Corimer. He came to prominence in the 80s as a session man and was best known at the time for his work with The Waterboys and particularly their hit The Whole Of The Moon.

One of the few examples of the "more is more-approach" actually working.

Slinky! It shakes my tailfeather all right, and I got a real kick out of using it to teach grammar-teaching techniques.
I disagree with the first half of Blueranger's remark - I'd say it's one of many examples
of the Stones coming up with mighty fine music that isn't at all what people expect.
I recall feeling the same after 1 or 2 listens, but like others have said, this one grew on me to become one of my favs on the album.
I agree to a certain extent. Do you like a band like TOTO ? I think they could have created an exciting and burning product out of this kind of song, with the late Jeff and Steve Porcaro, even with Jagger on vocals, cause I think he's doing quite ok here. The Stones cannot do this kind of music in a convincing way...a matter of competence. They were too much of a garage band. And a good one.
I actually like the band TOTO, am friends with a couple members. They can really rock better than their most popular tunes suggest. Steve L. is a pretty amazing guitarist and they are all actually great musicians. Personally, I think they really were trying a bit too hard to put out commercially successful music instead of following any unique and real musical vision, stung by the success of a couple rather sappy tunes...always trying to repeat that success.
I agree Jagger's vocal are Ok here, it's just not the kind of thing I ever wanted for the Stones. Seeing Keith playing this song makes me wonder what happened to to Mr. Rock and Roll. I get the feeling Mick was driving this approach and the other guys were just along for the ride.
peace
you nailed it. i think the title of the track says it all.....
Talk about your favorite band.

I get these strange, strange, strange desires
Strange, strange, strange desires
Strange, strange, strange desires
I'm faithful as a swan, I'm darker than a bat
I'm friendly as a bear, but tougher than a rat, that’s right

Loved the 12" mix of this. It remains one of the Stones most adventurous departures from their usual sound and is none the worse for that. It's got a great momentum and sounded really good on the dancefloor.

Love this tune, a very nice soul-disco song with a great feeling and a very beautiful and soulful Ronnie's solo

Great track! I'd say unmistakably Stones with a few drops of jazz and pop thrown in the mix.

Wasn’t too jazzed about this track when it came out, but since then it’s really grown on me. It has a really cool, groovy vibe to it, thanks in part to the production, with those sultry, Caribbean-esque instrumental touches, and clever lyrics that bounce off each other through a prism of animalistic imagery. Love the sensuous whispery vocals that Jagger inserts here and there, and Charlie’s echoey jungle-drum breaks. Nice riffage from Keith and Woody, and very solid bass from Mr Perks. And the trumpet from the legendary Roddy Corimer (kidding about that … who the f*ck is Roddy Corimer??) adds a lovely jazzy touch to the proceedings. It all adds up to a track that is mildly spooky and a whole lotta fun; just have this strange, strange desire that they would have extended it out a few more minutes and kept the jam going.

For me, it's one of the few times were they succeded in really making something very different outside the "Rolling Stones-style". Those who claim The Stones has repeated themselves since 1981, should be played this track.

over produced...and better for it. love this track, definitely grows on you.
a highlight on steel wheels which is generally a pretty good album, although too slick on the production side.
but on this track, over produced works.

Best song on Steel Wheels (together with Almost Hear You Sigh)
Suffers a bit from it's production. Could have been a real killer it written, produced and released in the 1979-81-era.

This song and hearts for sale were my favorites from steel wheels when it came out. seemed like they were stepping outside of their comfort zone to great effect. my fan level stepped up right then too. I think it was because I saw them live and realized that they were a LIVE band. they could (and still can) fill a stadium with their presence.
cheers!
cheers!

I just had a listen to: "Terrifying Live in Paris 1990 from the fantastic Wembley boot ", this track was bonus and I usually listen this track on repeat for an hour! Charlie and Bill provide a great back beat on this track and Jagger vocals are used to terrific effect. It was a great concert in Paris "Parc des Princes" at the time and after the concert we got lost in Bois De Boulogne.

Terrifying is a good song but it's a bit too corny and nonsensical for my taste.
I prefer the rougher Stones songs.
Imagine if they would have played this song live in Paris 1976... And released it on Love You Live... People would have thought they were joking.

Stones light. Where is the tone and balls in the guitars? Where is the rock and roll? Where is the danger and excitement? This is about a far from what I expect from the Stones as I hope they ever get. It's like they are a top 40 band playing at a local dance club. Yeah it's slick and polished but it does absolutely nothing for me. A perfect example of the Stones who lost their way as a leading rock and roll band.

I agree to a certain extent. Do you like a band like TOTO ? I think they could have created an exciting and burning product out of this kind of song, with the late Jeff and Steve Porcaro, even with Jagger on vocals, cause I think he's doing quite ok here. The Stones cannot do this kind of music in a convincing way...a matter of competence. They were too much of a garage band. And a good one.
