What about If You Can't Rock Me?

Well? It's a great song. It's got the nice riff, and then it has the groovy part in the middle, and then Ronnie's super cool wah solo. What if we replace You Got Me Rocking with this one? It's such a nice song. They showed they can still pull it of in 2003, so come on, do this one again!

Or, if anyone liked the way I typed last night:

Well? Its a bootylicious song. Its gots tha funky ass R-to-tha-izziff, n then it has tha groovy pizzart in tha middle, n tizzle Ronnies snoopa coo` wah solo. Wizzy if we replace You Got Me Rock'n wit this one? Its sizzay a funky ass song from tha streets of tha L-B-C. They showed they can still pull it of in 2003, so come on, do this one again!

Anyway, what do you think?

Great song, live and studio. Don't know why they dropped it, but it sure is lots better then You Got Me Rocking?

BTW: What's up with the "Doggy Fizzle Televizzle" style writing?

Het REPTILE, if they love it so much why'd they drop it off of the LIVE LICKS CD? (it's only on the Japanese one as a bonus track)

BTW, I Happen to LOVE that song, it totally rocks

Point 3 , Comics NEVER repeat a joke twice....

IYCRM: the warhorse that never was. Open shows with it!

I agree nikki....i think the Stones should experiment with more songs as openers...........

Re: What about If You Can't Rock Me?
Posted by: T&A ()
Date: April 13, 2006 20:09

...but they won't....they have settled on warhorses as openers since the B2B tour - 10 years. as much as many of us like songs like IYCRM, there ain't a chance in hell of a relatively obscure song like that opening the show....

that's so stupid, though! everybody's standing and excited when the stones first take the stage - why waste the momentum on something as predictable as "satisfaction," as they did in melbourne?

.............can you imagine if they opened a show with Star Star, or Around and Around, or etc etc etc etc etc.........

nikki - yer preachin' the choir...it is what it is and from where the Stones sit in their ivory tower it's a matter of "if it ain't broke, don't fix it."

Wood can,t come close to Taylor's controlled opening VIBRATO when he plays wah
wah - kind of sad in a way

ronnie sounds pretty damn good on the FF version.

of course, OpenG - that's a given. However, there are versions of it from the Licks tour where Woody plays credibly on it - wah-wah is one of the tricks that he can use to "mask" his left hand problems....

No, no. Ronnie rocks that song since they did it in 1975. He gives that song a real push!!

one of the worst versions of the song - the show before was nailed, though. On the FF MSG version, Keith screws up the bridge part, which throws Ronnie off...they do manage to finally get it together, but overall, it was not one of the best....

No man, the Forty Flicks version is really good! And imagine, if that was one of the less good versions, I wonder how their good ones sound.

check out the prior MSG (great soundboard) version to find one that really cooks

The Staples Center '02 version is excellent.Honorable mention goes to Toronto 8/16/'02 ,Boston '03,Oklahoma City '03,and Brisbane,Australia '03 if I recall correctly.I would prefer Dance Little Sister or maybe even I'm Going Down from the Metamorphosis lp or I Go Wild or Tie You Up or Sad Sad Sad.Well,I actually would like to have You Got Me Rocking replaced by anything at all.Beggars can't be chosers.
