ROCKMAN

i was a light weight fan until i saw them live in 2002 in toronto...
during the show i saw midnight rambler... it took me to another world and dropped me off.

ever since seeing that one song live, i have been converted

I Wanna be Your Man, by the time Not Fade Away showed up I was hooked

those were the songs that got me too, but it was nearly 20 years after they came out.

Under my thump live 82 wow that intro tatata tata tatata tata under my thump there's a woman....

time is on my side
(the 'organ version' released in u.s. less than four months after being recorded.) i didn't know they put out two versions of this...according to Keno:
"Organ version recorded June 24, 1964. Guitar version recorded November 8, '64. Organ version released in US in October '64 and on LP 12x5 in '64. Guitar version released in UK on Rolling Stones #2 in January 1965 and in US on Big Hits (High Tide and Green Grass) in March '65.--Vocals: Mick Jagger Guitars: Keith Richards and Brian Jones Bass: Bill Wyman Drums: Charlie Watts Organ: Ian Stewart Backing Vocals: Organ version: Bill Wyman and Brian Jones; Guitar version: Bill Wyman and Keith Richards"

She's So Cold

Time.. like Beely & Satisfaction, JJF, Shelter, Sympathy,
2,000 Light Years along with Going To A Go-Go.. And..
To be perfectly honest the triggerin' song was Silvertrain.

Brown Sugar/Wild Horses

Well, Satisfaction was huge when I was nine, but I didn't really get it until HTW about 4 years later...Since it's become such a warhorse, we tend to forget how fresh and powerful that intro sounded at the time...I was into Clapton and Hendrix so I had an idea what a guitar player could do, but here was a musician who happened to play guitar using his instrument to toss power and emotion around like it was kid stuff... oh, and Charlie...

Probably "Fool To Cry"!!!!!!

Black and Blue came along about the time of my parents 2nd divorce and my first broken heart (15 at the time). I still like it best.

"No Anchovies, Please"

My dad made a tape of Stones songs for me, when I was about 10 or 11, and the only song I really liked back then was 'Have You Seen Your Mother...', so I guess that must be the one

first song i heard by the stones was miss you and really loved it but i didn't really get into them as a fan until tattoo you

JJF

It's not just the organ intro, Mick's phrasing is different too. On the "organ" version Mick sings "Ti-ime is on my side" until the end, when he finally lets loose a "Ti-eye-eye-yiiime is on my side"-- which is what he used throughout the more popular guitar version.

She's so Cold....Summer of 1980...10 years old

JUMPING JACK FLASH(the original version) In 1975 I was aware of the stones without knowing too much about them but one day a friend of my father lent me one of "l'age d'or des stones" albums with the band on the cover, Mick center stage stepping on a huge "star" designed on the floor. That is my memory of the vinyl cover. Each time I hear that version of JJF, I am thrown back to that day in 75. Proust had a madeleine, I have my Stones.
Rock and roll,
MOPS

I remember Mick singing Jumping Jack Flash with all that war paint on his face on TV once.

But the song that really started to attract my attention was hearing Honky Tonk Women on the radio. Back then it used to get a lot of airplay.

Miss You got me into the stones
my 1st record i bought was Tattoo You

Damn Elmo????? Do we need to talk??? Cheers and GO DOGS!!!!

NO one song for me.
It's the SOUND of this band that got me.
That's why I've never had problems with the set lists I suppose ;^)
No matter what they play, it's the glorious noise they make that kills me !

I think the LP "flowers"? Can't remember. But my first gig really got me on the Stones - wagon. But after 63 concerts, their last gigs almost get me off of the wagon....

At first: Flashpoint, especially Brown Sugar and the way it goes into JJF: "Tokyo, let's rock this mother to the max!!!" and then Keith kicking major ass... First time I heared these songs I guess, and it blew me away. In fact, it's the same thing Mick and Keith do during some live songs, for example on No Security, during Flip The Swith, at "come on, yeah, flip the switch!! (3.20) or during Out Of Control when Mick says: "gimme a little bit of that something now" (4.38) the supressed energy and tension in a song is released at those moments, afterwards the song or show really takes off. A little hard to explain here, but it's those moments you'll always notice, however hard you're concentrating on the things you're doing while playing some background music. Slowly drawing your attention with the rising excitement, and then BOOM. Anyone can say anything to me when the second half of OOC live is blasting out of the stereo: I wont here a WORD.

What got me hooked forever, has been No Expectations, but maybe Worried About You even more... Still I find songs or fragments that have before been heared but passed unnoticed, but at a certain point grab your attention and never let go again.
The same things one finds about a girl: if the only thing left of you would be this little thing you have, do or are, I'll stay with you forever...
