Hey, thanks!
Like those interviews, haven't seen them before. Mick doing Cyril Davis is one of the coolest things I've seen him doing in interviews

Well, just found out it's more than just 2 videos - those interviews are really good. Both Mick and Keith are very focused and I think insightful.

Last think about this now - both Mick and Keith are asked about their favourite cover version of a Stones song. Keith says it's Otis Reddings version of Satisfaction and Mick says it's Devo's version of Satisfaction. Now, if you watch the video and hear how Devo's version sounds - I no longer wonder why Mick put out that disgraceful Charming Life song...

.........Devo's version.......whatever you think of it...is breathtaking for 2 reasons. They dared to take a huge risk with an iconic song and transform it into a statement/anthem that embodied a musical movement that Devo was in the center of....they made an icon (Satisfaction) iconic again...but in a different way/context...... Very few can lay claim to that.......another example may be Hendrix with Dylan's All Along The Watchtower........... Seminal moments in music......so rag on Jagger for Charmed Life all you want but I wouldn't rag on his intellect. He's a lot smarter than you think.

You know, might be I miss the greatness of Devo's cover because I wasn't even born when they released it. But to my ears it just sounds very bad. Was it a big hit or why do you say they made an "icon iconic again"?. I never questioned Mick's intellect - but he has that undeniable preference for really shitty pop and disco songs that I just never understood.

Just great interviews by both of them!
Yeah Lorenz I agree on your point about Devo and Charming Life.
There was always a pop side in Mick BUT the brilliant rock n'roll side of him always prevail!!!

jp.M.......THANKS FOR THE LINK!!! Amazing!!!

........what's interesting about Devo is that they completely "wrecked" or deconstructed the song......doing so re invented it for their own generation. No small accomplishment.
When you think of new wave (shitty pop/disco music on a grand scale) their video/cover of Satisfaction is always one of the key examples of the era that sticks out and in retrospect probably sits way above a lot of original music written during that period.
I agree with you in the sense that the song to me sounds a little "kinky" when Devo does it....not my favorite version by any strecth....but it is original and very clever.....as far as Mick's intellect, maybe you weren't ragging on his intellect maybe just his taste or choices.......say what you will about the new single...perhaps it's not anything special......but it's one of the top new dance tracks in the market...it's already a big underground hit that's been re mixed and promoted by Junior Vasquez...so he did some homework.....but........,more importantly he is also responsible for writing a fair proportion of some of the greatest songs in pop/rock history with and without Keith............. I'm not so sure Mick is only influenced by shitty pop/disco choices so I'm giving him a pass.

Thanks for the heads up, that was a very nice view. Never get tired of interviews with Mick and Keith. They have so much to tell, yet the interviewers always go for the same boring questions. You`d figure Don Was would be different, but no, he too asks where their name came from and where Jumping Jack Flash came from.

What great interviews - and haarrummmppphhh for keeping me up past my bedtime - but could not stop watching - goodnight ;-)

Thanks jp.M...Truely amazing find...
Could watch 'em talkin' that stuff all day longggggggggg....



ROCKMAN

Devo & Otis might just note to much of each other's anti-podes.
The funky brass arrangements on Otis were also way ahead of their time.
Me, I lurv both: is that allowed?

best interviews, with good questions, I seen in a while

..one can find it in all the records by the Stones on Amazon.com...JP

wow thank you for a link
Can we have a boxset of four DVD's each containing Don Was
interviewing each Stone?

great job, not only interviews which are great but also the way videos were made with all those cool inputs here & there.

Damn, that was pretty damn good! What a find indeed! I wish he had asked about other songs than JJF, we all know the story already. But really cool stuff! Thanks for letting us know jp.M!

I'm right there with you. Plus you get a baby sticking a fork in a toaster in the video. What else could you want?

I'm tired, I'm tired of doing what I'm told.
Things are moving way too slow.

Keith talking about how they got the name Rolling Stones - and Jagger about watching James Brown in mid 60s....funny

what song is that at the very end? You can tell it's Keith's chords..

Thanks very much for telling us - the best half hours entertainment I've had since the O2. Brilliant clips from the past and Mick and Keith both in great form.

So how come Don Was / Amazon can get their hands on Ladies & Gentlemen and Checkerboard Lounge footage?

I was thinking the same - either bootleg DVDs or a dip in the archives. The best footage there, though - was the Around and Around clip from Münster
Where have I seen that one before....hmmm, somebody remember ?
