QuoteVoodooLounge13 And I forgot The Cult in that listing of 80's bands. Not sure how I did that, since they have their own thread on here now! LOL

Cocked & Loaded is a great album.
Forum: Tell Me

Thanks VoodooLounge13 for this great great post. I was indeed pointing out that there is a before and after 1981-Tattoo You and that (supposed) creative decline is also true for the Stones...as for so many other bands and artists. So objectively, I do believe that their best years were with Mick Taylor and the sweeping solos that he brought to the band : we agree.
Forum: Tell Me

Here is a precise and well-argued analysis. Thanks. I propose you another subject just as fascinating, for which I expect the same level of requirement and (relative) objectivity : the discography of the Stones since 1981 and the album Tattoo You, which contains the last MAJOR hit of the band, SMU. Since 2005, and the expectation of a new Stones studio effort, I don't think you're
Forum: Tell Me

Are we talking about a new album or a old Stones album to be remixed/overdubbed with unpublished tracks ?
Forum: Tell Me

Power Up is a solid and inspired album, in my opinion far superior to Rock Or Bust. Realize, Shot in the Dark, Through the Mists of Time (nostalgic and quite new in spirit), Demon Fire, Wild Reputation, Systems Down and Code Red are excellent tracks. One of the best albums with Brian, which has its place next to the classics, obviously insurmountable.

Happy birthday Brian, 75 !

Yes, a new album in 2022 with a song Mick singing with Chris Martin.

Don't worry, a negative review of Mick Taylor's playing calls for 50 of Ronnie's one.. Unless you're deaf.

QuotePaddy Quotetomcat2006 There seem to be a lot of (younger) people who wear Stones gear without seemingly even being aware who the band are - hard though it is to believe. (And sacrilege too ;-) Do you think there'll ever come a time when they (or their descendants) make more cash from monetising the famous lapping tongue on clothes and other merchandise than from music and streaming s
Forum: Tell Me

You're right about all those DP tracks of course. But with Ronnie there is no good live solo, no matter what period the Stones are in, you have to forget the solo of the studio version or the Taylor years! And of course the song loses its magic (unless a solo is useless only since Ronnie is here).
Forum: Tell Me

With Ronnie for sure ..
Forum: Tell Me

I was listening to Hand of Fate this morning, great great song.I love Wayne Perkins guitar solo. He would have been a perfect successor to Mick Taylor. And yes a good Stones song with a good solo is still a better Stones song. Which is sorely lacking today with Ronnie on stage (for many years now).

Wow, I don't remember reading such things about Keith and Ronnie in 2003 or about any of the concerts this year. Anyway 2022 is better than 2003, everything is fine, we can all sleep easy. The Stones (better better better) cycle continues. Can't wait 2023, better than,..,............
