Yeah. Saw them in Melbourne straight after Springsteen in March 2013. God they were great. Just out of this world brilliant.

Some great songs, some truly wonderful songs. The production is so awful though. Somehow it sounds thin to me, and, even for back in the day, so soft, no punch to the production at all.

This track just sounds so out of place on the album. It jars, it jangles my nerves. It's rushed, it's hyper, it's a crash. Why oh why is it on the record? Yes I know the Stones are successful at music, and that I should not offer them advice. But Tattoo You would have been so much better without this shouting crass song.

FANTASTIC song. One of their very best. Side 2 of Tattoo You is so exquisite. Just unlike any other side they'd put out, back in the day when you would get up and flip a record over! Happy to say, that's an exercise I am more into, having got back into vinyl about 4 years ago! WHY did I ever leave it, and give all my albums away, when I went CD ...

I dig this track. Micks all over it. Bill too. Just fantastic groove. Not your typical Stones 'blues', but then The Stones aren't your typical band!

With editing this should have been, could have been, a contender. Some great songs, and some dire tunes. That they left off both Don't wanna go home and Under the Radar yet included Look What the cat Dragged in and that equally abysmal She Saw me Coming is a complete travesty. Seriously poor judgement. Driving too Fast should have gone as well. And then it would have been a stone cold

It sounded nice in the day, only, just nice. But this is The Rolling Stones we are talking about. It's just so ordinary as an album. Almost all filler with the very odd exception of the title track, and the pretty Indian Girl. I personally don't like ER the song either, but at least it was off the charts stylistically. They Tried something. Some say it works. Me, I don't. Indian

Never understood the dislike of this one. Breath of fresh air musically. Wonderfully played, beautifully sung, nicely produced. Lyrically, ok, a bit naff. Not quite right. But overall, a sonic guilty treasure. It's one of the things I truly adore about the Stones, and the one thing that absolutely sets then apart from all others. They can, and do, try and then brilliantly bring off, a

Like the music. Like the lyric. Hate the vocal delivery. One of Jagger's all time howlers.

Love Keith, have all his official solo stuff. Really dig this record. But somehow, hiding in plain sight, I "rediscovered" 999. That is a great opener. Always loved Wicked... So probably just jumped straight to it. Today in the car though,999 kicked my drive off. Fantastic song. Just love it. Top album, apart from that whiny Eileen.

How is that aussie going? Haynes at the 49ers? Really? We are being fed down here in Australia with how great he's going. Is he?

QuoteStoneage Yes, it's alright. But you hear so little new Stones material these days that you tend to lower the bar. Many Keith songs has great riffs and groove but tends to lack serious songwriting. They sound like they have been recorded during jams in the studio. Few of these songs will hit the charts, I'm afraid. They are too sketchy and lack composition. Yep. This is exactly
