I don't really like "All the Way Down" much, but one thing in its favor is that it doesn't have the bad/sad/mad rhymes of the songs you mention. Sure, the title phrase is a lame Aerosmith-y crack, but in the verses mick at least tries to say something, though in an oddly clipped manner.
there is a body of fans who like this song and the next 2 on Undercover, which are all straightforward, and don't like the rest of the album. I'm not one of those.
the answer, my friend, is a-blowin' somewhere in this statement...
I am in strong agreemnet with your assessment! The outtake is slower, more reflective in nature, it's interesting to hear how it changed. Let's give 'em a listen then!

Nope. It stinks. Just listened to it. Has that 'Sad, Sad, Sad' throwaway vibe to it. Done in five minutes to pad out an absolutely awful album.

I've always liked the song a lot. One of my favorites on the album. Mick rushes through the lyric for some reason. Much of the album feels speeded up and it is the first appearance of the dreaded click track.

Yeah it is just good old fashioned fun rock n' roll! Good stuff, with some great guitar, and Mick sings wonderfully on it! LOVE IT.

Just curious - some people think Mick's lyrics for Rough Justice and mostly or more so Oh No Not You Again are atrocious and whatever coming from a 60 something year old yet some comments about All The Way Down are similar.
So is there...what's the term I'm looking for...dunno. Double standard? Some kind of bar that was crossed? Is it more of a wink and a giggle with All The Way Down than ONNYA? Just as bad? I like All The Way Down much more than either from A Bigger Bang but I've never thought of the lyrics to be so - I won't say the usual but it is/they are just some obviously entertaining rock'n'roll songs.

'Rough Justice' belongs as one of the better B-Plus singles in the Stones chronology. Depending on how much longer they can tour, it has the ability to grow in stature as 'You Got Me Rocking' from Voodoo Lounge did. They've even opened concerts with YGMR. 'All The Way Down' has that hurried up, let's get this over with thing to it. I hate songs where they go immediately to the Chorus and pile drive it into the ground. I just listened to it again and we get at least 16 'She ran all the way, all the way, all the way, all the way downs'. The more I listen to it, the less there is to like. There's one part where mick's singing where I swear he's just going to give up and start mouthing nonsense syllables.

Undercover has always been one of my favorite of the Stones LP's. I think it is their smartest record of all, lost on many fans, but just a great, rocking, evolved and slightly heady LP from a veteran rock and roll band. Their last serious creative effort, too, in my opinion. And this song, ATWD, is terrific. I want this album reissued with outtakes some day.

A terrific rocker from an era when the Stones still felt dangerous, and still created cohesive albums, as opposed to collections of songs. All The Way Down, with its rollicking beat and naughty, violence-tinged lyrics, fits like a glove on Undercover. The whole song, and indeed the whole album, feels so organic and effortless, and as a snotty little fool, I used to listen to it over and over, trying decipher what Mick was actually singing.
Speaking of the lyrics, the reference to "suicides", of course, now seems eerily prescient. Perhaps the lyrics in that whole passage were crossing the line, but pushing the bounds of respectability was what made the Stones a dangerous band back then.
How the years rush on by, birthdays, kids and suicides
But still I play the fool and strut, still you're a slut

One of the good tracks on U. Remember liking the lyrics because it actually had substance. Never a hit-song though, but it had other qualities.
