Opie Show - The moment you realize Mick Jagger is singing ANDY instead of Angie
These guys reference exile as the album Angie is on so take this to serious.
never heard this at 3.38 mark Andy ?
There's a difference between saying that Mick is still technically VERY good for his age, as I did, and critiquing instances where his vocal style, enunciation, hammy over-emoting, lack of effort, etc., led to bad vocal performances.Quote

I agree with Keefriff99 that there are very few men at the age of 76 who can complete an entire tour as Mick has done, singing on key 99% of the time with such power & energy. Considering that Mick has been a lead singer in the limelight for over 55 years, I think this is a really unnecessary thread and very petty. Take into consideration that not all of the " blame" should be put on to Mick...example: Dirty Work SUCKS all the way through and ANYONE having to sing that garbage would come under scrutiny. There are other examples of very sub-par material that Mick had to TRY to sell...if you think he failed, look at the material, not the singer! I also disagree about Wild Horses being so awful on Stripped...it's a bit over enunciated for sure but not his worst by a long shot, IMO. I do agree that that drugged up 70's influenced how he sang....the shouting and rushing through most definetly was coke related. A hazzard of the times. Still, to critique Mick in this way seems kind of nasty, for no good reason.

His singing on the "Sympathy For The Devil" version from Madison Square Garden in 1975 when Eric Clapton guested is just EMBARRASSING. I can't even put into words how bad he sounds. Again, I love Mick and starting the thread of his finest moments as a singer was a great topic of discussion, but he's just god awful here. Have a listen:

No video/footage of this remarkable rendition around?
d.f
At least there is a bootleg. In fairness, it was impossible for Mick to sing, as Keith is completely lost on bass. For minutes he's at the wrong place in the song... hence Mick is just talking/shouting his way through it - as I remember it.
Keith starts the song and they all follow him. Mick is the only one who's lost.
It actually sounds like Mick is quite far from the stage, and singing with the delay in sound.

But he's early, not behind.

I've always been concerned that he pronounces Augustine differently on "Saint of Me" than he did on "Family."
If I'm honest, I blame Jerry for the pronunciation.

I find it interesting to critique the Stones, and some of their less than stellar moments are flat-out funny. If some of you people can't handle reading anything other than blind hero worship, then avoid threads like these.
You are such a sage and a poet and you should be on a Pantheon or a Mt. Rushmore for your wisdom which never fails to delight me (serious , not kidding , such a great wit )Quote

You're the sensitive little soul who can't take seeing your gods critiqued, no matter how mildly. The rest of us are adults who recognize the Stones make a lot of mistakes, and that they're often funny.Quote

Never listen to anyone that says “oh please”. What’s next? Hitting me with a pillow?

Interesting in an odd way to see some fans offended by a bit of friendly/light-hearted critiquing of the band we all love - as if everything the Stones do is perfect!
Shame on those of us who don't worship at the altar of the God-like Stones who can do no wrong!
