Bridges is one of my favorite albums.It’s their last excellent album.IMO Bigger Bang is up there with Dirty Work as contender for their worst album.Sounds like the new album will be a return to excellence

I would love to hear the June 251972 night show in great sound quality and the Wembley 1973 complete show or compendium of all 3 shows.I also hope they have the complete June15, 1975 Buffalo show.That was a great show

Isn’t Keith on the left channel for songs like Bitch, Angie, Dead Flowers, Silver Train.Although I really like what I have heard from the new album, the mix on Angry sounds like a Mick solo album.The vocals are way up and the great guitars are a little muddy.It sounds likeKeith wasn’t involved mixing it .

I hope when I’m 80 I look as good as Mick and am as mentally sharp.But during the interview he said Stevie Wonder, BbKing and Ike and Tina Turner were all opening acts for the Stones on the 1972 tour

So the guitar playing the great riff on Angry is Mick.And who did Mick mix the album with?

Quoteredkev Version wise Satisfaction peaked on th 1969 tour.Even with questionable guitar tuning and sloppy playing the Hyde Park 69 version was fantastic. I still love it but it’s never been as good as back then imo.Always liked the Uptite/Satisfaction medley they did with Stevie Wonder and Wonderlove on the 1972 tour

His sitar and tanpura are brilliant on Street Fighting Man. You can really hear it when listening to his playing without the vocals and other instruments

QuoteTheflyingDutchman QuoteDoxa What goes for the stressing the technical level of musicianship I find that generally very odd in the context of the Stones. None of them have been any master musicians in a technical level. Okay, probably Taylor's fluidity once was pretty exceptional, but hey, to shine technically in a lead guitar department of the Stones is not that big accomplishment. On

Mathijs , What is your opinion of George Harrison’s guitar playing on the early Beatles songs, 1963-1965? Like Hard Days Night or She Loves You in terms of simplicity or level of technical prowess.To me as a non musician they are great and perfectly fit the song , but deceptively,sound pretty easy to play .

I like both , so I don’t have to choose. If I disliked one of the songsthen Iwould choose the other.It’s like choosing between Exile and Sticky, or Some. Girls and Goats Head Soup. I will say I also like the songs Living in the Heart of Love, Plundered My Soul, and Criss Cross, which were released since Steel Wheels

Quotesf37 Quotepeoplewitheyes I didn't say it's hard to make a 7-min song, I said it's hard to make a long song worth listening to! I'm not sure the Stones have many 7-min songs in their oeuvre (excluding live, obvs) True enough. I would say their best example of such a lengthy song would be "Can't You Hear Me Knocking", mostly thanks due to its awesome jam

I like the song but think the mix is weird Mick’s vocals are very clear and mixed up high.And I think he is playing the riff.But the other instruments are muddy.

With respect to Brian’s guitar playing, I’m not knowledgeable about guitar playing like some on this site.But to my ears he was a really good rhythm guitarist.His sense of rhythm was great.Maybe had he not died he might have gotten back to playing guitar .Maybe he would have gotten better.

Quoteswiss QuoteDandelionPowdermanThe easiest way to distinguish Brian's and Keith's slide playing is to listen for vibrato, which is totally absent in Keith's playing. Love In Vain has soul and style, but lacks vibrato. Great point, Dandy! And His Majesty - yes, I hadn't thought of You Got the Silver similarities. Thanks both. -swissIs there vibrato on Jigsaw Puz
