I was reading the thread about Mick playing on Sway. I always assumed that was Keef. I know Mick has done a bunch of other stuff and if you don't really pay attention, you assume its Keef.

Anyway, he doesn't get anywhere near teh credit he deserves.

don't give me that ole one two, one two three four

Also, the opening to "Sad, Sad, Sad". Ditto the chords to "Brown Sugar" - often (almost always) credited to KR.

And the main riff on "Winter"? It's a similar sound to "Sway."

He played lead on Livin' Lovin maid with Zepplin too






kidding.

Chris Kimsey gives the credit to the re-energized sound of SOME GIRLS not to "clean" Keith or new-guy Ronnie but rather to Mick's guitar playing.

>> Ditto the chords to "Brown Sugar" - often (almost always) credited to KR <<

uh ... Mick wrote Brown Sugar, but Keith is the one playing it.
but generally: yeah, the cat has been makin progress for 36 years!
smile: one of the sweet quotes from Garden State 78: "Keith says i can play this if i play it quietly - so i will!" :E


"What do you want - what?!"
- Keith

He's done sone nice things live too. The way he plays on Streets of love is, to stick with the pattern of too little credits, 'nice, but i'm sure it is inspired by Keith'.

Joke. It's great! He's carrying the warhorse of the 21 century entirely on his own: great vocals with lots of passion, and inspired guitarwork, that structures the song and sort of guides the listener from verse to verse to chorus etc. Thats's where his true age shows itself: the man can go on for decades in this shape.

mick has said himself that he stole the feel of brown sugar from palisades park by freddy cannon... if you watch gimme shelter, mick's only commment is "it should be more relentless somehow"... but keith is dancing around the room listening to the playback of the track... mick might have learned the open g from keith, but it is purely keith's playing... or does ry cooder claim he wrote this too?

Does anybody have Freddy Cannons Palisades Park?

mick also played the accoustic in moonlight mile i think, don't forget back of my hand

I loved his rhythm guitar playing on "Stop Breaking Down" Bone crushing riff that.

Mick plays more guitar on ABB than on any album he's been on,mabye not his solo work but mabye'..anybody know anything about that??

Really? you learn something new every day - never read that before

Fantastic song (it was the PA music used immediately prior to the start of Springsteen's "Tunnel of love" shows) although I cant hear the link, personally speaking.

This is one I wonder about. It's hard to discuss without turning into yet another taylor discussion. But that acoustic is very beautiful and delicate, unlike say "Sway" or "Stop Breaking Down." If it's mick, bravo, and if it's taylor, bravo--and if he wrote the part--double bravo. What a song.

I thought Stop Breaking Down was all Keith. Surely the Riffmaster must be proud of some of Mick's chops.

And, I love the little riff on Rain Fall Down.

isn't mick on Highway Child? Fingerprint File.

Mick works his ass off

GAZZA , here you go

And heres a little known tid bit

Freddy Cannons Palisades Park was written by Chuck Barris the former host of one of the funniest shows ever on American television " The Gong Show " . It was Fan - F*cking great !!!

watching mick play live, he plays extremely fast, and edgy, on the steel wheels dvd..hes really attacking the guitar on Rock and a Hard Place and Sad Sad Sad, and seems in-audible, but nowadays on miss you, he takes it down a notch

Ive also heard Aout Palasades park influincing brown sugar. I forgot where I read it.I might have been in According to the rolling stones. It was in a pretty "main streem" book. If you listen you can really hear the similarities. brown sugar has the same bounce as those freddie cannon songs. Watch four flicks MSG show, you can see ron wood doing this 50's boogie kind of dance during the first part of brown sugar, it really fits the groove of that type of music.

many thanks for the Palisades Park youtube link. Listening to it again I can hear a few similarities indeed.

it could be argued that its mick's guitar playing driving that punky feel that made SG seem like such a return to form for many Stones fans in the late 70s. wasn't that also the tour where mick started playing electric on stage as well?

According to the 33 1/3 book about Exile on Main Street, Stop Breaking Down is one of two or three songs on Exile that Keith does not play on at all.

Yep, and one of their hardest rockers, like "Sway," also without keith on guitar.

keith is not really into heavy rock, I think. "Satisfaction," if we believe him, wasn't really envisioned as a riff-rock tune, but more in the way otis redding performed it. "JJF," amazingly, is almost all acoustic.

Dirty Work and "999" stand out as exceptions to the rule I'm proposing here, though. Hmm...

Well, couldn't Gimme Shelter, Midnight Rambler, and Paint It, Black be described as heavy?

credit 4 dat 75 tour playin , his guitar upfront & Loud

The first two, yeah... "PIB" I think is dark w/o being heavy.
