QuoteMarkdog Generally Steve is doing a good job from what I've watched. The snare sound is odd to me and not quite right to my ears. Very thud sounding with Steve's hard hitting and lacking snares and body. I thought Midnight Rambler was way off the mark. Tough song to play with the slower and faster tempo transitions. This highlights how well Keith and Charlie locked in which is

QuoteWitness QuoteSend It To me It's possible on Brown Sugar that they asked the African Americans in the band how they felt about it. It's possible Mick just doesn't feel comfortable singing it at the moment. It's possible they just don't want to attract attention to it in a review and risk getting "cancelled." I do hope that it is your explanation num

QuoteThe Sicilian Thinking about it from that point of view, it didn't occur to me they didn't play the song to pander to the woke crowd. If that's true it's horrible. That being said, if it is true, we'll never hear "Slave" now. It's not horrible at all not wanting to offend a large group of people who have been on the receiving end of gross injustice.

Quotetatters QuoteNikkei I wouldn't overdramatize the lack of Brown Sugar, it's probably going to be back in a week (more than enough time for several cancel culture meltdowns of course) I don't know. It's not like it's a song that rotates in and out of the setlist. Prior to last night, it had been played at every Stones concert since Altamont. So, it was about time f

Quotejumpingjackflash5 Quotematxil I like the new version of Paint It Black. It's less a Polish polka now, it's got more menace, dynamic and swing this way. Also, Sasha Allen is a good replacement of Lisa Fischer. Overall, I think they sound pretty good this time. No, this new version is wrong, maybe it can improve. I guess it depends on whether you like folk dancing and polka

I never listen to it. There are at least 10 great albums and a number of other still very good albums to pick from, when I want to listen to the Stones. None of those are from the post-Tattoo era. Occasionally I listen to Thief in The Night, on YouTube.

It's really quite simple, and can be summarised in few rational steps. - Mick, Keith and Ronnie want to keep on making music (what else can they do? Mick can play in movies, Ronnie can paint, but I doubt it gives them the same satisfaction). - They could make solo-albums, and I for one wished Keith would have made more solo-work. Instead, they decided to continue together, which makes se

Interesting thread, but almost all YouTube links posted here are unavailable in the country I am residing (Spain). I have seen the Wimbledon "She's So Cold" wreck in the past, always a pleasure to watch. In a way, it shows that the Stones are unique in being a rhythm band. Like an analog watch: if one of the cogs fail, it all falls apart. The smile of Bill and the big grin of Ronni

Funny story. Neil Gallagher is a funny and smart guy. His brother is a moron. Oasis had a few good songs, but after a while the voice gets annoying. Their version of SFM, however, is not good: too much distortion which makes everything sound like a vacuum cleaner and lose the "spike".

As others said before me, reggae is not something the Stones always did very well. The big exception is Feel On Baby, which is a great song. One of the best on Undercover.
