Last week I started a Exile On main Street versus - versus.

I will try to place every week a versus-versus form Exile on this board (just for fun and to know what you think about the songs)


Part 1

Ventilator blues Versus Soul survivor (you can check it out on the link below)
[iorr.org]

Part 2

Rip This Joint versus Turd On The Run

For me those songs sounds verry alike, although I go for Rip This Joint (a quick rocking song with great sax) but I also like "Turd On The Run" is this country ??

So what's you opinion ?

__________________________

Tough battle man. I say Turd On The Run.

-Drake

Rip This Joint.

Rip This Joint

yeah, I like turd on the run. Its definatley country. It dosnt remind me of Rip this joint, It reminds me of Hip Shake. Both those songs remind me of that ZZ top song "La Grange"

Rip This Joint - the sax solo's makes it swing like hell.

Just like comparing gold to platinum... but I´d go for
Turd.

Rip this joint; one of my all time faves...

they did it a time or two as ABB started up...
did they charge on thru it? make it really work?
anyone know?

have seen this live with original exiles line-up...
curious.

To be honest, first I want to do Rip this joint versus Hip Shake.

Turd on the run, love the piece where when: lost a lot of love over you.. @#$%& great.

after some consideration im REVERSING my desicion. I think that maybe, although I like Rip this joint, its a tremendous song, its a little to "jumpy". turd on the run or hip shake are a little bit cooler actually.

>> they did [Rip This Joint] a time or two as ABB started up ...

did they? i know they've done Rocks Off a few times,
but i don't think they've done Rip This Joint on this tour.

Keith, be well - all the way, baby, all the way

Rip This Joint - a great rock 'n' roll tune with a sax that comes directly from hell!
Give it up Bobby!

i know it was done in 75/76, 95 and 02/03.
i don't see it on nzentgraf for 05 or 06: [www.nzentgraf.de]

Keith, be well - all the way, baby, all the way

ty ryanpow
with sssoul is right as rain...as per ze usuaal...

could not find it (rtj) in any of the ABB setlists, i went thru the first dozen or so gigs quickly...setlists and a bit of each review...
sorry me wrong again.

mebbe they had rehearsed it..dunno...
DO remember hearing something about it as things were gearing up...
mebbe just in my hot sweaty rolling stones dreams.

how cool to sorta 'follow' the tour again.
all those pix of keith with big huge smiles...
jeesh.

uhmmmmmmm....I'm gonna vote for Rip This Turd...I mean Joint

I like your thread, Nico! It's much better than "what's the worst.....something". I get furious to see all the great songs listed there.

Agreed.........

Wham Bam Birmingham Alabam' don't give a Damn

why can't people write stuff like that anymore.

"Wham Bam Thank You Ma'am " that's almost the same....

Rip shreds Turds

?????

of all the threads ever, this is the most moronic one...BOTH ARE ESSENTIAL TO THE LP...

What is your point here...>??? I cant even believe I am responding to this...

JR

love both of 'em (hell, i love every track one exile), but in a pinch, i'll go with Rip This Joint.

The three musketeers all three are my favs!!!

CLose call...gotta go for Turd, one the title! Fantastic. The frantic riff, and Mick's harp is amazing!

what he said

RTJ is much more of a "song" proper. Probably that is why they played it in concert a good bit. It has those two lethal solos by Bobby and some great lyrics. Wnder that Jagger rememebrs most of them live. My favorite part on RTJ is coming out of the first Sax solo, Mick Taylor does this one guitar line underneath, right before the vox comer back in. It sort of sounds like a car downshifting. Like he is reeling the out-of-control train back in, before the singing commences again.
But it's songs like TOTR that IMO make Exile the incerdible album that it is. There are countless albums that have superb hits and signature tunes on it. But then the filler willd rag them down. On "Exile" the "filler" (or what is widely considered the filler) only makes this album even stronger. TOTR, one can safely assume came out of a jam on that riff, with maybe the uprite Bass plucking away. (Both those numbers use the Uprite). My fave part on Turd is the way the 3rd verse comes in. because it doesn;'t come in on the beat, or after 8 or 16 measures; it just kind of appears. "I boogied in the ballroom..."

"...no longer shall you trudge 'cross my peaceful mind."

Same here...

TOTR has a more bluesy feel to it...RTJ was always a tad fast for me...
