QuoteThe Sicilian I think they sounded really good from the Periscope clips I heard before falling asleep when Miss You started. If anything, I think the band's playing has surpassed Mick's singing. I've come to believe that he will not sing a lot of the songs because he can't sing it with the growl or earlier high pitch that he used to. But lets be honest, many here are gr

QuoteNaturalust That's it? Don't get me wrong I love the acoustic and electric slide guitar approach but give me all the guys crowded around a couple of mics with all of them singing in the old blues tradition over Jagger and Lisa and Bernard any day. It sounds ok, but a more group vocal approach, warts and all is what I'd prefer. I've got the feeling this is the last

Wow, now I'm conflicted. I parachute into this thread and what's this I read about riff songs being boring? I love fighting the good fight for MT but good lord, Keith's riffs are everything to me. Oh my word, I think I have a touch of the vapours...I need to sit down.

Yeah thanks Cristiano(and Tumbling Dice) Accentuating the positive, the bit from 2:20 through where they nail the landing into "Chinese girls are so gentle" (3:30) etc. is especially good.

From the latest interview in Rolling Stone: "One notable absence was former guitarist Mick Taylor, a key collaborator at the original Sticky Fingers sessions. In 2012, nearly 40 years after quitting the Stones, Taylor returned as a guest on their 50 and Counting Tour, but he won't be appearing on this run.

The stones are energetic enough to do a real tour, but not ambitious enough to get in the studio for 1-2 months and try and come up with a new album.
