'''The Stones at their pinnacle......''' - - - i mean the 78 version is ok, but like the version taken from the 1971 Leeds show and the B side to Brown sugar (I think) a million times better. keith's guitar work is nastier, and Jagger didn't flub the lyrics. and its got Stu's boogy woogie. very cool version of this track as well, on Bob Seger

today's style of digital computer generated music often does sound like crap. no warmth. i think it often sounds like crap, because it IS crap. if you use lousy digital equipment it is inevitable the sound will be harsh, cold and distorted. analog tape certainly had its limitations (copying / tape degradation, noise or hiss etc) but there are still sounds that were produced on analog, ie oft

i'm a big Neil fan; already got my tickets to his upcoming show here (Canada) next October. be great to see Neil and the Horse again. what Young is doing with Americanan isn't particularily new; both Dylan (Good As I Been To You, World Gone Wrong) and Springsteen (The Seeger Sessions) have done similiar things. some of the inspiration for this dates back to last year's Bridge Schoo

i like the inclusion of prodigal son and you got to move; obviously they weren't included on the original release of Ya Ya's because of the time restrictions on single disc vinyl; both are great fun to listen too, if not a little out of tune. i guess my question is why were these and satisfaction etc put on a whole seperate cd disk in the more recent re-release, instead of being include

axl rose is a boob. G&R are possibly the most over rated band ever...lets face it, one decent record (first one) and then the illusions, which were spotty but decent in spots. i prefer the izzy stradlin solo stuff, whch he is still churning out, over any G&R; its way cooler and way more Stones-ish

yeah so aerosmith brought in hired song doctors ...

********Sorry, but Def Leppard sucked in the 80's and they suck even worse playing the local Holiday Inn in 2012.

****It's in F.***** - well yeah, because of the capo but it starts with an arpeggiated descending run based on a D chord (with a capo on 3) that takes a detour through an A before getting back to the D. it repeats itself, then the detour is through an E minor, also played twice so if you mean with the capo, that its in F (in that the D becomes an F) well then yeah
