Nobody claimed they were pure punk.

The original debate I think was naturalist saying some girls had a heavy punk influence and dandelion and me saying that it was just stonesy rock n roll and that to an extent their rock had always sounded a bit like punk.

A coin flip of dimensions! grinning smiley

No, you're not, at all, but nothing more to say here.

They simply weren't punk, they were a different kind of rebellion etc.

For you..

They just wanted to play the blues and do their own thing. That's not the same as punks of the 70's. So no, not just for me.

They wanted to play faster and louder, not just to play the blues, according to Mick. That's obvious when we listen to the music. Add that to their history of utilising musical trends, which they also did here - both musically and visually.

That's why many of us feel the punk influence on SG, and that's for us to decide.

No safety pins, mohawks or hair dye. But a clear influence, different than previous ones.

Well, we did get a DESTROY t-shirt and a swastika:

"And so at this concert, we witness the unseemly spectacle of Mick Jagger parading around in a t-shirt with the word DESTROY atop a swastika. (Back then, even provincial squares would have picked up on the shirt's punk rock style; today, Jagger would be accused of being a Nazi sympathizer.) The thing is, Michael Philip Jagger was born during World War II; the swastika had a much different significance to his generation than to the punks, precisely why the latter used it to twit their elders, thereby setting themselves apart from them. It's one thing for Sid Vicious to sport a swastika, but when Mick Jagger does it, it's a calculating and somewhat desperate pose. For the Rolling Stones, the writing wasn't just on the wall, it was on Mick Jagger's chest."

[michaelazerrad.typepad.com]

Did people interpret the message on that t-shirt as a nazi supporting shirt at the time?

I find that hard to believe since the swastika was crossed out and the word "destroy" was over it.

Obviously, it was some kind of fashion at the time..

No, I don't think people saw it as pro-Nazi. Some people did see it as wanna-be punk posing by a 35-year-old multimillionaire!

And they were right smiling smiley

I was on about the early years onbviously. tongue sticking out smiley

No one is denying there was influence on Some Girls, but it was mostly on gimMick. It's just that the influence didn't make as much a mark as the "stones going punk" waffle auggests.

It's very telling, given the broad time scale this convo has covered, that Mick had trouble with Keith regarding the bringing in of the punk influences. So it proceeds as Mick's stones trying to be more punk, but essentially they end up just rocking things up a bit more and Mick ending up doing pantomine versions of punk vocals.

That, I agree with smiling smiley

You guys are funny talking so much about this pretty pale album that had a half shitty disco-hit as highlight ...grinning smiley

In addition to all the brilliant punk and reggae album from 1978, so also, debut album by Dire Staits, Kate Bush, Devo to name a few high points Bowie made Heroes and Costello This Years Model ... But as I said, Faraway Eyes and Just my imagination is really good ...

So punk isn't about 99,99999% attitude?

The music is three chord rock smiling smiley

Mick and the stones didn't have punk attitude. More to the music than just three chords.

I could hear, feel and see the attitude within and without the music, you can't. Let's leave it at that smiling smiley

Then, you really misunderstand The Rolling Stones AND the punk rock movement.

What you hear, feel and see is Mick trying to be punk, to bring the punk attitude in to the music, but he never got beyond humourous imitation.

Comedy stuff.

If punk rock was a JCB, giMick's attempts at it was a Tonka toy. grinning smiley

It's not the point whether it was comical or not. You're now admitting that there indeed was an attempt of punk. Thank you - finally... smoking smiley

Um, I never said there wasn't. Mick tried, but failed, ended up just rockier with ridiculous vocals. Thus, even when he tried he still couldn't be punk. winking smiley

I never said it was pure punk. They were influenced by it, and you think so, too - no matter if they succeeded or not. I'm happy drinking smiley

Mick was influenced by it, but the influence didn't result in Mick being punk though, just ridiculous.

Good that you are happy that there was nothing punk about The Rolling Stones. thumbs up

I'm happy that you are finally also acknowledging that they were influenced by it, and that it was evident in their music, like I said thumbs up

Finally? Are you drunk? There was never a debate about whether it influenced Mick circa Some Girls.

No one has disputed that Mick tried... but, there's nothing really punk about the reults. Thus, nothing punk about The Rolling Stones. grinning smiley
