For me, the album version is the ultimate Stones' song. Not the best but in a way the the essence of Stones. Decadent, overproduced, over-overdubbed, crazy, wild... I love it. They were never able to get anywhere close to the studio version when playing it live.

Quotecaschimann Reading through all this is so different like back in 2003 for instance. Even during the last tour it was different. More open. More good tempered. More relaxed. But with this new record coming out something happened to this board. And I am not talking about the Waldorf & Stadlers. They belong to the show. I am talking about those dry, analytical, soulless and cold comm

QuoteSpud I'd wager that Mick copped that tuning from Keith right from the start of him using it.. Even if for no other reason than it's being such a fun way to play the guitar... [...especially for those of us perhaps lacking a little technical virtuosity ] yeah, and once you have it in open G than the riff is the most natural thing to play

QuoteMathijs Quotedmay I'm shocked, shocked I tell you, that Keith is pictured with a Gibson guitar and not a Telecaster. What is this world coming to? In all reality until 1981 Keith only used a Tele on a couple of open G tracks (mainly Tumbling Dice and JJF/SFM), with the Ted Newman Jones 5-string guitar as main open G guitar in 1973 and the Zemaitis 5-string as main open G guitar in 197

QuotePalace Revolution 2000 I think the Stones did really, really well with bringing Andy Watt into the fold. Their sound has been updated in a clever way; not forced. IMO it's okay that Lady G, has the bigger moments of the song. I am a little surprised how little Steve Jordan is mentioned in all of this, b/c the mix is a logic continuation from Keith's solo albums. (without Keith eve
