I agree with you, Proudmary - the book sounds promissing. Rockjournalists way to take Keith´s perception for granted and to idolize the man has needed balancing for decades.

QuoteDoxa Quotewhitem8 It would have been so much better if Mick would actually let someone produce it! And if they would have steered clear of the digital tools, and went more analog. Not a terrible disc and as a whole probably better than Steel Wheels and Voodoo, but I prefer Bridges over ABB.... As far as Keith's account goes in LIFE, Jagger would have really mixed and probably even re

QuoteDandelionPowderman Quote71Tele QuoteCousinC Great song! Especially the studio version. The Brussels version took it to a whole other level. Unbelievable that it has never been officially released. A crime. Maybe Mick wasn't too happy about the vocals, which were a masterpiece on the original recording, imo. Yes, that sounds like a reasonable explanation. But of course I hope they

Of course it doesn't match Wandering sprit, but it's his second best. I listen to it regularly - the first seven tracks that is. These seven tracks are rather magnificent - and marks an interesting difference to Stones-output. I think Goddess is a brave experiment - and yes much underrated.

QuoteRocky Dijon "Angel Eyes" was a counterfeit. It's not any of the Stones, just soundalikes. I think it might actually be listed as "Angel Girl" on the boot I heard it from. When it first circulated I thought it was going to be "Zip Mouth Angel" but the bootleggers insist it was a GOATS HEAD SOUP outtake. You are correct that they worked in a bit of "M

QuoteDoxa QuoteErik_Snow I found his autobiography to be real explendid - got a renewed respect for the man. Can't understand why some folks choose to judge the book and Keith harshly because of his critisism againts Jagger and Jones.

Most of those songs are situated just before the relation breaks - or after. And therefore they are not nice portraits of the nicest girl in the world (the table's turning/ now her turn to cry/ I used to love her, but it's all over now). Or they might be versions of Fairy tale charaters - like in Stray Cat Blues where MJ impersonates the wolf and the girl little red riding hood.

He was great in Performance. I had the worst exspectations before I watched Ned Kelly, but didn't think it was a disaster at all and he did okay I think. But Freejack was very bad indeed. The Man In the Elysian Fields was not as astonishing a film as Performance, but Jagger did well. Bent and The Nightingale I will look forward to see. I didn't notice him in the Bank Job.

QuoteBlueranger We can with no doubt expect 'finished' tracks ala Exile's bonuses. The Stones will not present half-baked backing tracks with mumbled vocals. I enjoy every second of the Exile bonus disc, mainly because we are pesented with finished songs.

QuoteDoxa Honestly, I'm not so thrilled as many here. I think the intersting and capturing thing - unfortunately - in Mick's performance is just the age card - "for his age" his dancing is incredibly energetic, and his physical presence defies the aging process. Well, for long the age factor has worked nicely for him, and makes him unique. He seemingly knows that what is his b

The guy who publicly talks about music indeed, things like his BBC jukebox and the blues playlist he's just done on Rolling Stone show him to be still quite passionate and discriminating about music (not chasing club trends as keith would have it... though his own solo stuff is of course disappointingly bland for the most part).

I think the songs and the procuction (the sound) of BTB is more coherent than ABB, but I think the highlights on ABB equals the highlights on BTB. When I listen to the three albums now, I find VL the weakest. Good, but to my ears not with as strong highlights as BTB and ABB.
