QuoteDandelionPowderman QuoteRedhotcarpet He sott of did it on Mercy Mercy which the Stones covered and copied That's a different lick. The Stones ignored chords and did an easier and simplified version of Covay's Mercy Mercy. Still funny to hear that Hendrix played these kind of intro licks in '64 already, and not in country style. In '67 he gave it a bit more of a roc

QuoteHis Majesty QuoteDonParker What would have happened if Jagger had become as succesfull with his own band in the mid-eighties like he did with the Stones ? The end of The Rolling Stones... until the big money offers came in to get back together again. Mwah, Jagger and his bandmates would have declined, just like ABBA.

QuoteTurner68 They got bored with one another after all those years (who wouldn't) but are so desperate for the fame and money that they cling to what they have. Not particularly complicated.

QuoteDandelionPowderman The question is rather have they ever played better than this? Of course they have: with the tandem Taylor an Richards in the early 7 tees, imo. The bass and drums are equal, musically spoken.

QuoteMathijs 100 Years Ago has the same problem as the entire GHS: it's a nice song, but it just doesn't grab you. It's mainly in the production, it just doesn't have the rock and roll and swing we expect from the Stones. Mathijs I feel quite the opposite : it grabs me, both in the studio and live.

QuoteMathijs He never was a talented rhythm player(Taylor) A very talented rhythm player I would say, lots of examples out there over the years, but with Richards aboard preferring simple straight forward grooves -re exile- and I love Keith's playing for that, there's is not much to add in this chosen field.

QuoteSilver Dagger QuoteDaveG The musical interlude after "It'll buy some time", at 1:02, with the organ, is sublime. It just carries me away to a pleasant, peaceful place. It did when I first heard it in '69 and it still does today. It is hypnotizing. That's nice. I like that. And Charlie's brushes give it a subtle/delicate jazzy extra.

QuoteHMS I´m not too sure about the Blues, even if it´s The Stones. Lol, who has to play the guitar then? Ron Wood is no blues player, Keith Richards lost it and was a mediocre blues player at best. Brian Jones passed away. It requires Mick Taylor if you want to stay in the Stones / blues departement.
