Agreed for the most part. I'm a big fan of Ronnie's and I wish that he had contributed more. There has been much speculation as to why he hasn't. I loved his first four solo albums, and I prefer them to anything else that the other's have released outside the stones. I think based on their post 1989 output more influence from him couldn't have been any worse! No malice

QuoteElmo Lewis I submit that Ronnie's Top 10 would be nearly as good as these. I think this might be an unpopular opinion, but for my tastes Ronnie had the best solo career of the stones. He may not be as popular as Mick and Keith, but I like his albums the best. The first four albums of his are really good! IGMOATD, Now Look, Gimme Some Neck, 1234. One could also consider his contribu

I love this track and has long been a favourite. I'd love to get a copy of the extended version in good quality. I don't have any insight regarding who was on which sessions, but the below link is for a website that can do a pretty decent job at separating instruments out and producing individual tracks for them. I'm sure others have used this or something similar before so sor

Quotedcba Quotewoodyweaving The more I read about him, the more I develop the sense that aside from his heroin (and apparent alcohol/coke/weed use) Keith played up his image a bit but so did far more people around him than he himself. This established his mythos. Remember that on the 81 tour Keith acted as a drug counselor for Ronnie, as he forbade him to freebase coke. That did not work t

I'm glad that you (and others) have expressed similar opinions like this as I feel the same way. I'm a Bowie fan too and I've always appreciated how his son Duncan has protected his legacy and to the best of my knowledge not allowed his father's music to be licensed for these sorts of things.

QuoteGasLightStreet Ronnie established his Stonesism between the 1978 and 1983 albums in terms of what he does/offers, with some magical playing on each album. After that, not much. He had some excellent playing on STEEL WHEELS but since then has essentially been reduced to not much - until HACKNEY DIAMONDS. I've always felt like Ron gets the short end of the stock in some regards.

For my taste, the first barbarians gig to promote Ronnie's first solo album was superior. Better performance, good recording quality. Plus, there is video on youtube too.

I noticed yesterday when I checked out the wikipedia page for the album that three tracks have been credited to Jagger-Richards-Watt. The tracks are angry, get close and depending on you. I can't recall another person getting that many writing credits and also playing on the album. Does anyone know if there has been a precedent like that before?
Forum: Tell Me

Does anyone else feel as though they prefer Mick's voice/vocals without effects (not sure what to call them, feel free to correct) but instead just a clean, unaltered take? After first listen, only two tracks have grabbed me: tell me straight and driving me too hard. Regardless, always good to see them releasing new music. Nothing stays the same forever.
