QuoteT&A i loathe most of the album, actually. many agree with me on this; most don't agree with me on the rj thing, so i will continue to hammer home my dissatisfaction with it until death do me part or something. The funny thing about that record is that the best song from those sessions imo (Under The Rader) didn't even make the cut. I wouold have made it the first single

Ha!! No chance!! But thats not probative of anything Mr. T&A! lol. I just listened to it before, I like its energy and I really like Ronnies slide work on it--there are far worse tunes on that record...

Reading this thread is hilarious. Some of these lyrics aren't just "bad" they are comically putrid. lol I will however stick up for Rough Justice--I actually think thats a great tune, Ronnie's slide tone is killer and it WOULD have been SO much better if they left "gonna break your heart" instead of "never break your heart"--I mean that line coming from

I understand that '71 was definitely "laid back" relatively speaking but that's the charm, gives it more character than if it had essentially been a repeat of '69/'70 with a couple of new tunes thrown in. And, it definitely does suffer from the fact that only 4 (and incomplete, at that) shows are out. I like Leeds and I LOVE what they did with Satisfaction, so coo

I always thought Jiving Sister Fanny was one of the coolest grooves they ever produced--awesome energy and really captures a "live feel", no doubt because they recorded most of it live. There's actually two versions of this tune with slightly different lyrics (if you want to call them that, lol) and a slightly different tempo. The Metamorhosis version is different from the one

QuoteHairball Mick should NOT have released Lets Work. True that! But, the other day I was listening to "Wandering Spirit"--what a GREAT record! Keith's solo records (and I like both of them) get, seemingly, the majority of attention from Stones fans, but imo "Wandering Spirit" is THE best solo record by any member of the band. Why it didn't fare better com

Hey there, sir!! I've been MIA. Not much on the Stones front (not sure thats a bad thing, truth be told) and more importantly became partners with this guy who had a solo practice (hence the matrimonial) and basically work 10-12 hours days but I LOVE it. We have 2 offices already and I am down on Wall Street. Its pretty cool. We also have a billboard up on the BQE (pretty chessy, no? LOL).

Voodoo--my firm does a thriving Matrimonial business. In NY one child is going to run you 17% of your gross income (meaning, pre-tax); spousal maintenance (NYs quaint term for alimony) is a whole nother kettle of fish and far too complex to even attempt to explain in this context. That said--my strongest advice....do it ONLY if you are your absolute wits end. Seriously, I highly doubt you hav

Will always have a place in my heart for this tune and agree that if they could do Worried About You, they could have done this also. It would have worked well during Licks or '81.

Impossible comparison, really. Practically 2 different bands given the difference in guitar players and producers, not to mention the passage of time. Some Girls IS "dirty, raw and edgy"--well put. It eliminated the excess bloat and cut right to the core. Plus, Mick playing guitar gave it a very different element. As for FAE....IT'S FUNNY!! Plus, Woody's steel guitar pl

Plant has said several times Trampled Underfoot is one of his favorite Zep songs. It will hardly be a shock if they play that one. Bwsides, they played it EVERY tour from the time it came out ('75) onwards.
