I was recently listening to "Mixed Emotions" and was trying to figure out what i don't like about Stones albums from 1989 and after. It occurred to me that it's because they all sound more like Mick Jagger solo albums with the rest of the band sounding like studio musicians. I'm guessing it is because they don't even write together anymore. I'm curious if other

Opening riff of Can't You Hear Me Knocking. The first time i heard it i kept stopping it as the song hit the chorus and replaying from the beginning - maybe 20 times in a row. I was forever hooked.

I am curious about what others think of opening this tour with Get Off of My Cloud. I very much like their current live version of the song but I just don't like it as an opening. It doesn't seem to follow the great drum intro they're doing as well as maybe SFM, JJF etc. would. I feel like they should start with a stronger sounding opening.

There are 2 guitar solos in SFTD. Today Keith plays them both live. I was just listening to GYYYO and realized Keith and Mick Taylor must each be playing one. Who is playing the first one and who is playing the second one? Thanks!

I am curious if the past 5 years has been the 2nd longest period of the Stones not doing a show of any kind. Obviously the 80's was the longest. Is this true?

Lead: Sleep Tonight (i think it is the most underrated Stones song as well) Backup: Time Is On My Side - from Still Life

I think that it is the best sounding opening riff that he has ever done. Not that it helps you any with your question. I have converted a number of non-fans to become Stones fans by making them listen to that riff over and over. I usually then give them an Exile CD and tell them to listen to it 4 or 5 times. Works almost every time.

Did Keith ever confirm or deny that the song "You Don't Move Me" was about Mick?

Koen - let me know how it sounds if you get a chance to try it. I'm going to give it a shot this weekend. I've always had trouble figuring out how to play the intro - but it is such a cool sound the way keith does it.
