its a fantastic song but like so many other great songs the stones made, they also made it unradio friendly which in my opinion has held the stones back a lot. i love the stones, have since 1987 but what i hate about them is the fact they have to be so vulgar at times, its not clever, it does them no favours and actually makes them appear backward at times. the stones were and still are a very clever band when they put thier minds to it, but creating great songs and making it unreleasable as a single is stupid and possibly one reason the beatles have outsold them.
Whats vulgar in one country is fully acceptable in another...
There's nothing vulgar about this track as far as I am concerned.

I don't think that a song named "een drol op de vlucht" would have a lot of chance in the Netherlands either.

This track was in the charts for 7 weeks, reaching number 3.

I listened to Turd 3 times last night. One time overall, 2nd time the melody guitar, 3rd time the vocals.
It's a monster of a track. A brilliant mess of intimidation, fantastic lyrics and a great punishing chugging riff run. As Ronnie said, it's great: DINNNNN A NOWW NOWWWWWWW....

How come you dont like Hold On To Your Hat? Not so much difference, except that Hat is clearly the better one.

Hold On To Your Hat is one of the very rare highlights on Steel wheels, it has that kind of Dirty-Work-Feeling that is missing on the mostly over-polished SW-album. It is pure speed, pure fun and it´s mean and dirty. Most bands try for years and years to create such a song but never come to a result. Indeed, any Rock-band would be lucky to bust out a song like Hold On To Your Hat.

Sure sounds like Mick Taylor on slide on this song, most evident at 2:20. Richards never played like that. I did an EQ boost at 271 Hz to get a little more definition, and I'm hearing an electric slide guitar.
The quest continues to reacquire Taylor's lost credits...

Which slide guitar? I only hear two open G-guitars by Keith. The main rhythm guitar and the one which comes in with the subtle licks. Those are not unusual for Keith when he plays single-string licks in open G.

Just listened: no slide guitar. There's a 'clean' guitar in the middle doing a single note descending melody amongst the haze of guitars chugging away but there's no slide.
