Yes,it does bring back memories and it never ever bores me!!One of the greatest !!Lurv the 94 voodoo version ...I can do without Dave!! The seventies!!!

ahhh yes, one of my personal favorites from black n blue, this and hand of fate are my top picks from there

Then one day she left me
She took everything that moved
My car, she took my trailer home
She took my Sunday boots
My nose is on her trail
I'm going to catch her by surprise
Then I'm going to have the pleasure
To roast that child alive





ROCKMAN

Oh yeah!!!!

wtf???

Do you say anything else than that, whore?

Anyway, great song. I love it!! It's one of the Stones' best ballads.

My favorite Stones song, along with "Under My Thumb". Dave M. blows.

i am w/ u that dave M,, oh my god i heard it live in amsterdam...and i am still in therapy for it!!!

Finally saw 'em do it in Charlotte 1999 - Just great, especially KR. No Dave in sight.

I've got a comment on this one. An irritating comment, perhaps.
You know that the drums should kick in the sec. before the 2nd verse?
Well, you know when Charlie starts playing (on live versions) at the last word of "her hair were all drenched in SPRAY"(THERE he starts playing). That's really the wrong place to start, it sounds like SPRAY is the important word. I'm really frustrated by that.
It's a great song, neverthless. I wish they had done it in US 1978, as they had rehearsed on it. That would have been magnificent!

to be honest, I don't understand the acclaim this song receives. it's got NOTHING on hand of fate.

I've only heard it live on once occasion (Hartford 99) and would love to hear it again.

nikki, just a great ballad, that's all. HOF = also excellent.

I can think of about 20 other Stones ballads that I prefer - Almost Hear you Sigh, Wild Horses, and Worried About You come to mind at tht moment.

Those lyrics above are from Melody, not Memory Motel.

A very good song, but I didn't like the live version on No Security because Dave Mattews is singin' on it.

I noticed that too!
Rockman, I can't believe you'd make such a mistake. We've had 2 mistakes from you this month! This and the CS Blues in red-light-district! Now, Come on!

Aw dont worry I know the lyrics are from Melody....it was just a joke to someone.

I think the No Security version with Dave Matthews is excellent, partly thanks to Matthews!

I think you're insane, partly thanks to your comment about Matthews!

Insane, PARTLY because of Matthews? I don't know who you are, and feel no need to know it either.

i like the memory motel. my favorite lines are "I hit the bottle, I hit the sack and cried" and "whats all that laughter on the 22nd floor, its just some friends of mine and their bustin down the door".

Not a big dave fan per se, but I like the way he sings this part too.

What about how Mick pronounces Memory Motel for the first time at the 37 second mark on the No Security version....cracks me everytime.

We spent a lonely night at the Mem..or...weeeee Motel

just checked that out - hilarious. thanks for the tip.

Lots of people dislike Matthews singing with The Stones, but not everyone: In an interview with Keith in IORR a few years ago, the interviewer complained about this. But Keith said he liked it. And these were not empty words, you can see that in the BtB-video, e.g. the way Charlie applauds Matthews.
