Can you imagine playing the same songs for 40 years?
The boys really need an album of new material and like some of the B&L songs, it will sound fresh and great when they play it live.
Trust me, they still have a really good studio album in them, look at Tom Petty's "Hypnotic Eye" album, it was very good and the Stones are great song writers as well.

Here is a great little quote coming from theoretical physics:
"The easiest person to fool is yourself" -- Richard Feynman
I just found out that they did not write "Lies" from Some Girls. I am really surprised. I never liked the song but at least you could say in a way it was ahead of its time. Many people feel that we are living in an era of fake news and political correctness gone amok. There are some real systemic issues. I shudder to think how people in 25 years from now will look back on this era. Just like we look back on 80s fashions perhaps?
The point is we want to be honest, and of course we want to respect other people's opinions. If anybody knows the story of Melisa Click you know what I am talking about. The Stones don't need a safe space.
I have always loved the Stones, and I am proud of them and for what they have achieved. They meant so much to millions of people and they still mean a lot to many people today. They have done so much and covered so much ground.

Two links say this: Songwriters: RICHARD LOWE, CHARLES ST JOHN WADDINGTON, DANIEL JAMES BIERTON, DANIEL HENRY BARTON WALDREN, SAM RICHARDS, SIMON MARK DAWSON, JAMES ROBERT ORRELL
But other links say: Jagger-Richards so I guess it's a lie. Just like Jagger-Richards lied about writing Prodigal Son, right?

I actually thought about calculating the actual percentage, but decided not to.Quote

"Hell, 70% of the total lyrics is the word "Lies"."
You say lies, lies, lies, lies, keefriff99... The percentage is 39%. I just counted...

I see that too. Very bizarre. Looks like a database screw-up.
It's certainly possible, but Lies is such a silly and basic song that I doubt Mick and Keith needed to have it ghostwritten, or lift the lyrics from someone else.
Hell, 70% of the total lyrics is the word "Lies".

It's pure genius. It's the song the musical climate at the time begged for. Just like "Miss You". One of the (many) highlights of the 1978 tour, too. Straight in your face. Simple, but effective. The "Satisfaction" formula transferred to Punk.
If Lies is "genius", then what is Gimme Shelter or Sympathy for the Devil? Words have to have meanings.Quote

It's a great little punk rocker. It does exactly what's it supposed to do, but the lyrics ARE silly and basic.
That's a complete non sequitur. Again, if Lies is a "genius" song, then what words would you use for ACTUAL genius songs like Gimme Shelter?Quote

"Lies" was not written and recorded to please old fans. It was created to win new, young fans at the time.

You think Lies is the reason Some Girls was such a huge hit?
This entire argument hinges on the fact that I said the lyrics to Lies are basically a throwaway. Many songs have throwaway lyrics and can still be excellent if the music is kick-ass, and Lies certainly qualifies as a kick-ass rocker instrumentally.

lol, more LIES! Yes you got "pwned" on the other thread and I mentioned some stuff that's true that just fries your brain. The point is there is no reason to lie about Keith's situation, just like there is no reason to lie about what is taking place in society. And the motivation is altruistic, to improve our society for the benefit of all. That's a truth that is escaping you.
In no way did I get "pwned"...you posted a bunch of race-baiting nonsense and then the thread was closed. Take it to Breitbart and stop shoving your far-right politics into non-political threads.Quote
