I like to love over 300 of thier songs. This is one of rare songs I do not like. Sounds like "punk rock thing". Actually some of that I quite like but not from yhe Stones. Know what I mean? One of 2, I skip on Steel Wheels. I'm sure you can guess the other as well. Anyhow Sorry Stones & folks to me its a D or 3.75 - 4.
Only 1 diehards humble opinion. MEZ

Love it! Loud raunchy guitars and Jagger spitting out the lyrics. Punky, yes, but I like my Stones that way. 7.5

Nothing special but not THAT bad!

3/10.I don't like it.

I don`t like it. It`s one of the Stones` crap songs. -Reminds me of "Neighbours",
-crap that one too. Stones of the eighties.

A (mostly) forgotten gem.

With all the enthusiasm for the new record, does anyone really think that "Oh No, Not You Again" or "Driving Too Fast" is superior to "Hold On..."?

What a suprise! Shall we rate this poll on a scale of 1-10. Ehhh...

1!!!!

i prefer both "Oh No, Not You Again" or "Driving Too Fast" to "Hold on to your Hat", but i don´t consider it a bad song. my rating 7/10!

The best of "Steel Wheels" besides "Almost Hear You Sigh": 10 Points I guess it's a work of our "Holy Trinity" (Keith, Mick, Charlie). Great lead guitar ...

crap 2/10

Can't really rate it b/c I haven't heard it in years and years. But I recall it sucking hugely. Such a tame title, something an old person would say. Maybe for non-english speakers that wouldn't matter.

GREAT SOLO BY KEITH, PERHAPS HIS BEST SOLO...(IF I REFER TO TECHNIQUE)

technique and stones don't go together well

I think this is a good rocker, I like it not my favorite but still I give it a 6.5

cc, I am sure I have all Norwegian readers with me when I say that translated to Norwegian, it would be called something as stupid and trite as "Hold på hatten din".

It reminds me of Had it with You. Both 9/10.

not one of the Stones best - 4 out of 10

The worst song on SW.

I think it's a killer song...the guitar work is absolutely smoking. @#$%& the lyrics...it's all about the rock'n'roll.

Keith wishes he could still rip out solos like that.

haha -- if I only I knew how to pronounce that!


"Had It With You" is much better than this song -- captures a lowdown mood and has an unusual sound (no bass). This song has nothing to say.

Hard to @#$%& the lyrics when the vocals are as high in the mix as they are on stones albums, post-exile.

I still wan to know what the other song on SW is that James Lynn skips over. He assumes I know this but I don't. But I need to know.

Reminds me of Look What the Cat Dragged In. Its worth a complete listen but I'll skip past it every time. Its the only truely weak song on SteelWheels, as is LWTCDI on ABB.

Cool song with a bitching lead.
As for "Cat" - that's the best song on ABB.

And I love the way you assume we would know the other song you skip - I don't have a clue.

Have you ever lent somebody $20 and never seen them again? It was probably worth it.

10 out of 10. It's perfect. A rockandroll song can not be better.

Bad song. Awful sound on Keith's guitar. Don't like Mick's rythm playing either.
