Go on.. tell me it`s boring and gay!!

IT ROCS!! It rocked live, and the album version rocks.. it`s modern but still classic Stones!!

Wadda y`all think?

it's boring and gay. should have stopped right there

NO!
I loved that song from the moment on, I heared it live for the first time in Munich last year. Wish, I'll hear it again, after I heared it for four shows last year.

It's neither boring nor "gay". It's one of A Big Turd's few redeeming features. Plus it's superb live.

I just loved it the moment I heard the live version. It's fantastic, powerful ballad. Now I even like studio version although when it first came out I hated it. Yes, I must admit I was awful bad.

I was shocked at how good it was done on stage in '06. Really enjoyed it.

It´s a really good live ballad (I´d prefer it to the overplayed
Angie any time).

But the studio version (put out as first single after 3 years
of silence!) is a Jagger solo achievement....way too cheesy and
overproduced....Matt Clifford, shiver...

THe live version beats the studio version a thousands miles.
I'd give the live version 1,8 out of 10 stars - studio gets 0,8

The studio version is awful. The live version however always worked great when I saw it!


Belgrade-Bucharest-Budapest-Brno

Think it's one of the best songs on ABB- along with Biggest Mistake.

I like it, putting in a ballad makes for a good concert. Its the first new ballad they've played live in ages, if im not mistaken? I think you have to go back to Fool To Cry or Memory Motel for that. Unless you count almost hear you sigh, thats more mid tempo though, like bOb.

Sigh.

While it's probably futile to post this request, I'd like to ask people to avoid using "gay" as a pejorative.

Thanks

ALmost Hear You SIgh and Out Of Tears comes to mind...and Allready Over Me

i'm not sure how a live version of bad song becomes anything other than....er...a live version of a bad song. polishing a turd only results in a ....well, polished turd.

Out of Tears was FANTASTIC too.. both album and live (as is Streets Of Love)..

yeah, I mean who would Choose to be happy in our society? that would be insane!

"Streets of Love" is up there with "Let's Work" as one of the worst songs ever.

only played already over me,a few times live.
