It's never been one of my favs. Honestly, I never really got into that number. The lyrics are extremely weak, the riff's sort of okay but not more. I haven't figured out why it was used as opener for an album. Possibly the influence of Billy Preston ...

I've been excited eversince I'm a Stones fan, which started in the early 1980s. For me, every album, every new tour is like a dessert after the main dish.

I'd define a warhorse a song which is also known by non Stones fans. Many people I know who aren't particular fans know the biggest hits such as Satisfaction, HTW, Angie or SMU. Asking them if they knew "newer" songs they can't say. SMU was literally the last great successful single generating interest in the Stones also from people that hadn't been 'fans'

True, I wasn't there. But all the videos I watched on DVD/BR or at YT didn't give the impression of good concerts as the Stones were rather lame and played ... partly lousy.

The first Beatles single was the the first step towards a new culture, better saying a new pop culture. Honestly speaking, without the Beatles's success the Stones would have remained as a blues band. I don't see that major influence for James Bond films - maybe another genre but not more. Those films didn't generate the earthquake as the Beatles music. If one could compare at a

I once read (dunno the book exactly) that in certain places during the 1981 tour the band was announced as "Mick Jagger and the Rolling Stones". The hell knows why that happened or who originated that. The only thing for sure is that Keith was massively pissed.

Always loved the 1972/73 versions best because they are bursting with musical and sexual energy.

I just watched "Connection" from Liverpool at youtube. Horrible. A complete mess in the beginning, aweful singing, and an even more aweful Keith guitar solo. They sound like they just started playing as a band. Without the accompanying musicians they'd be completely lost.

Quotebakersfield Do you seriously think Mick Jagger will sing ‘what a drag it is getting old’ in public?? I’ll eat my hat if it happens… Mick changed the lyrics of "Spider and The Fly" for the Stripped recordings. Why shouldn't he change lyrics again? Maybe "What a ride it is gettin' old" ... ;-)
