Thoughts on this song? Good album opener I like it a lot 8.75/10 B+

Kind of straight ahead run of mill rocker. Liked it more as time went by
Really liked at Rehearsels in Toronto Gig. Never hear many praise or trash. Guess its viewed in general neither great nor stinks. Solid all the way Baby

Anybody passionate or hate with passion? MEZ

Totally love this song and have from the first hearing over 30 years ago. One of Keith's best riffs imo.

IYCRM is one of those songs that are better live than the studio-version. Another is It's Only Rock'n Roll.

another reason why I prefer Licks over Bigger Bang tour....

hope that they will play it in europe next year

great track....always loved, if you can't rock me somebody will!
sounded so great in the 1975/76 tour....do it again!

I love the album track and thought the Licks version was pretty hot but the '75/'76 version was awful, putting it into a duff medley with Get Off Of My Cloud. Thank God they resuscitated the song in 2002/3.

really? wow....i thought it was a burner in 75! and it was a rare, clever stroke of the Stones to medley-fy it with Cloud.....

great rockin tune a- or 9.175

What tuning is Keith in on this?

The first of the "Start Me Up"/"Flip the Switch" cookie-cutter model. Not a promising sign. A good model if there's a touch of genius to the arrangement, but this doesn't quite have it. I also prefer the live '75 medley version.

Very good tune and great album opener imo!

Should be a warhorse along with Monkey Man

Also like to point out Taylor's lean controlled opening licks which are damm
great.

Fu%#in' great song! This one could be the definitive concert opener for this tour...I mean, "Start Me Up" is way overused for this purpose, nowadays.

"got to be worked on
don't have no bark nor bite..."

I don't like Taylor's playing at the beginning - it gets in the way and adds nothing.

You must not be hearing what I am hearing -

I'm pretty sure I am.

Its a controlled lean vibrato try to play back that lick like taylor does good
luck

I used to like Mick Taylor until I started visiting this site and reading your posts.

Another satisfied customer!

Love the Bass break.

You can hear a great live version from 1975 at the LA Forum at this Web page:

There is Hope and Joy for all - Happy Holidays

Great song, particularly in the version 75/76, where it is connected with "Get Off Of My Cloud".

Great song, great guitars, great album opener and for me the best song on IORR. i rate it 9/10.

...The band's on stage and it's one of those nights, oh yeah...
great song

The drummer thinks he's alright.

You lovely ladies in your leather and lace
A thousand lips I would love to taste
