Hi everyone - I have followed this forum for decades but have only just joined thanks to an intervention from Bjornulf, who is the best!

In four lines, I am a bit weird in that I have never been able to listen to Satanic Majesties the whole way through (think there are good bits but also unlistenable bits); I also think Undercover is an unsung gem of an album and like "late period" Keith (How Can I Stop in particular).

Looking forward to the new album and discussions on here. Liked "Angry" but felt it needed doing differently to go from being really good to something more, but hey, opinions...

Thanks again to Bjornulf for finally getting me on here.

welcome

from one fan with eccentric tastes to another

Welcome on board

glad to have you with us.

hey

Welcome!

haha, I love it! Glad I'm not the only one. Also I should add I'm a lot less of a fan of pre-1968 stuff - not that I don't like it. But late 70s, 80s and even 90s/00s Stones gets the attention of my ears a lot more than anything before, say, Aftermath. Thank you for the welcome! :-)

Welcome!! Wow you and I will get along great! LOL My favorite album is my name sake, and though I do listen to stuff pre-Aftermath, it's mostly just singles, as one of my first purchases was The London Years, so I rarely go for the early albums. Man, it's so good to not be the only 'weird' one around here anymore! LOL I also love the latter day Stones, which many on here do not. Can't agree with the assessment of Undercover though - I'll take Dirty Work over it, all day, any day!!!

Looking forward to 10/20!! Loved Angry. Not listening to SSOS or any other song until I have the CD in my hands, and I'm still looping Angry on YT, trying to get it to 20MM views!!! ><

Excellent!

Another Stones fan that thinks UNDERCOVER is fantastic!

I love that album.





Go to 56:03 or so and you'll get the backing overdub session Keith and Ronnie did.

Which partially explains why Stones records take so long to get finished.

Taylor or Wood ? That is the only question that matters.

Hi & welcome.

LIV69-Welcome! And better late than never. Voodoo13-Always enjoy your comments. I think you and I being the same age means we experienced the Stones in a similar way.

Hi. I'm just the opposite... long time poster, first time lurker.

Well, If you've been lurking for years...

...You won't need any of us to explain how we're all as mad as a fish around here.

Welcome, it's good to be here, it's good to be anywhere!

Welcome!

It's funny how time passes; I was looking at my profile recently, and saw the date I joined - over 20 years ago!! Almost every day I check this forum for news/updates/discussions. I've been checking it almost each day for over two decades!

We all have our own eccentricities; I love Satanic Majesties, but also have a fondness for the most maligned of albums, Dirty Work (most of it anyway). Undercover and Emotional Rescue are gems. I'm also a big fan of the latter era from Steel Wheels to A Bigger Bang.

Yes, sounds like we have similar tastes, apart from TSMR. Not sure about Emotional Rescue - or at least, not all of it - but glad we agree on Undercover!

An excellent question and you got me thinking. Taylor is for me one of the three best British blues guitarists of all time. So there's that. Ronnie's work outside the Stones (except 78-83) is his best work (Faces, Rod Stewart solo) for me, but on the other hand he's a much better "Rolling Stone" than MT ever was so... complicated. In the end, though, Mick Taylor did the solos on Time Waits for No-One, Shine a Light and the rest so, yeah, I'll have to go with MT.

A final brief note to say thanks to all who have posted for the warm welcome. Roll on 5PM UK time tonight, I'll be listening!

Cheers -

That is the correct answer. You are now officially in (in my book).

haha, thanks so much!
