QuoteBig Al Tattoo You is not a compilation. It wasn’t marketed as one and no-one, other than yourself, ever refers to it as being so! It is. Similar to the SG-Bonus-CD. Old songs reworked, only one or two songs were originally recorded for TY as far as I know. Mostly early-mid-70s stuff, some ER-leftovers. No regular album.

QuoteWinning Ugly VXII They performed "Thief in the Night" at every second concert in '98 without any riots. Rotating with "You Don't have to Mean It". Very often in '99 as well. The same goes for "Infamy" during the first long stretch of the 2005 tour. Also no riots. Audiences seem to tolerate Thief In The Night or Infamy if it´s combined with o

QuoteGasLightStreet But... Start Me Up was track 1 on TATTOO YOU. Their last non-LP single was Honky Tonk Women. Start Me Up isn´t really a album-track like for instance Love Is Strong because TY isn´t really an album. It´s more of a compilation. I would say Highwire was their last non-LP-single, i think it was out long before Flashpoint was released. Doom and Gloom I think was also av

QuoteTravelinMan Mick Taylor’s solo albums have plenty of blues and rock. He never strayed away from his roots. So much of this anti-Taylor stuff is garbage. If Jeff Beck joined the Stones they would have crashed and burned like a Stone Zeppelin. MT has made more than one solo-album? Jeff Beck & MT should have joined forces. They are two of a kind noodlers. Another similarity: Like

That was a big problem indeed - the Riffmaster not at the height of his abilities and a non-Stones-like sounding smooth and fluid playing guitarrero trying to take over the band. Had taylor stayed, the band would have crashed within a year or two, maybe earlier.

QuotePhillyFAN MT is gone. The band rolls on without him. And the band imo rolls better without him, in hindsight MT became more and more a brake pad for the band, one can hear soome fine examples for that on GHS/IORR. Maybe yet another album with MT would have killed the band. He literally sucked the energy out of the band. The energy returned with Ronnie´s arrival.

Maybe YGMR has won due to voting fraud activity, but still I am glad that terriblehorribleridiculousbad OOC wasn´t the winner. I wish OOC would be buried deep on some forgotten deserted island so nobody would ever find it again.

I do not expect them to write and record 12 excellent songs within eight months, not even within two years.... But: It seems almost impossible that the two of them were not able to come up with at least one good song per year since 2005... If an artist does not manage to write one damn good song per year then he is artistically dead and gone... They are still a energetic, someimes even superb li

Sad Sad Sad, Harlem Shuffle & Mercy should be played every night instead of only throwing only one of them in here and there. And they should forget about Angie & Dead Flowers (big yawn).

The Stones are blessed with Ron Wood. He refreshed their sound considerably, with MT it all got bloated, not Stones-like anymore to the ears of yours truly. Some Girls although no fav of mine compared to lame GHS/IORR is like opening the windows and letting in some clear clean fresh winter air. And thathighly welcomed and desperately needed element of refreshment continues until today. Ron Wood

How many in the crowd do you believe to have TY in their rack? Not too many I´d like to say. Most of the crowd are just "tourists", seeing the Stones like visiting the pyramids or the Eiffel Tower. I guess only 15 % of the crowd are collectors of their albums.
