QuoteGJV I think he ment he expected an album like E.R. (more rock orientated) much earlier but instead het got an album like G.S. and later B&B and years later he finally got it with E.R. Thank you GJV for translating. English is my first language.

QuoteGasLightStreet QuoteplusplusjamesFour out of five dentists who read IORR.ORG will agree that they wore the grooves out of Black & Blue. That's why we're here. The point remains that, upon release, B&B was thoroughly slogged by the critics. It reminds me of the lukewarm reception accorded GHS. Everyone was expecting a hard rocking record like Emotional Rescue. Inste

On the Berry jam it's very evident that he was a bad fit for the Stones. I agree with Bill «Harvey Mandel had too many effects, echoes and foot pedals. Keith ended up saying: “Bollocks to all that, just play the @#$%&a

I bought the English version after visiting Nellcôte in March 2023. This is a great book about Exile's venue in the South of France.

It was great to see in person the storied location of this mansion on the Mediterranean in a beautiful French town on the Riviera. Wh

One thing about I Love Ladies... Mick sure sings those lyrics like he means them! I can't imagine for the life of me why "I Love Ladies" and "Shame Shame Shame" were not originally included in Black 'n Blue back in 1976. That album only had 8 songs on it. They could've have filled it out with these additional tracks. Keith would've gotten over the

QuoteRacca1962 I respect everybodys meaning. But if you follow the Stones for decades, it was Ronnies guitar playing for the 2022-tour that kept the Stones-ship afloat (spotted by many fans and the press). But there are no guarantees, so maybe this tour Keith guitar playing is razor sharp again. I wish all of you visiting the upcoming tour lots of fun. But please stop the conversation about songs

WHERE HACKNEY DIAMONDS FITS IN THE STONES CANON The band’s last studio album, A Bigger Bang, released in 2005, struck me as a competently made rock and roll record. In terms of my comment made in the Giant’s stadium parking lot, “every part of my life, there’s been a stones album that’s been a soundtrack,” that album was no exception. I knew exactly who in my life was “Oh No, Not You Again,”

“You need time to really get into it to be able to sing as if you know it really well,” Jagger says. “Because how many times have I done compared to how many times I’ve done ‘Paint It, Black’? You don’t have to do it 2,000 times, but you can’t just do it on take three, because you don’t really know your own song. You have to learn the song, how it would be if you’ve done it onstage a few times.
