A lot of fans praise Slave, but despise Suck on the jugular. I can not see the reason. In my humble opinion Suck on the jugular is also an interesting jam, based on Charlies groove.

A Dirty Work deluxe would be an enormous challenge! A lot of studio time Mick was not available, working on solo projects. So it would be some sort of Dirty Barbarians kind of issue.

Quotebobo Agree with most of this, but never leave Tumbling Dice out of a setlist. The way it was played in NYC at the club gig was really really great. My worst fear is that we all think they start playing Tumbling Dice, but it appears to be Driving Me Too Hard....

With all respect to Ronnies contributions, I am convinced that the solo on Driving me too hard is from Keith. Or wasn't it suggested that Ron did the solo? The solo reminds me strongly of Slipping Away.

What made The Stones my favorite band, is that they combined so many different styles of music. And exactly that is what makes Hackney Diamonds such a great record!

Would they consider Chanel Haynes as a back up singer if they tour again? It would be a nice gesture after she was fired from the Tina musical because of her appearance with The Stones in Milan.

How about Saint of me as a gospel inspired song? I think Billy Preston (he went to church in Brussels?) is the first one to bring some gospel into the music, as he did on Shine a Light and Saint of me. And isn't Salt of the Earth also an example of the Stones flirting with gospel?

I'll wait for the album and think about it again in a couple of weeks.

QuoteDandelionPowderman To record enough songs for two albums, like Ronnie said, is NOT the same as having a second album ready. Wrong interpretation And let's be thankful for that. We heard Mick say they wanted the album to be outstanding! From earlier outstanding albums that came with deluxe extras from the vault, I can honestly say, that I liked the songs that made it to the origina

Haha, don't get angry with them. I only think it is the formula that was used on recent videos. Have you watched Ride em on down, Living in the heart of love, Criss Cross? Is there even a need for videos these days, when even old chaps like me listen to Spotify?

It seemed to me it was planned to have 30 minutes of them on stage, but somehow there was not enough chemistry between the band and mr. Fallon to keep it interesting enough. The "Off the hook" singing and the poor impression of Mick showed mr. Fallon was somehow thinking this was HIS moment of glory. It is odd what the presence of The Greatest Rock 'n Roll Band In The World doe

Is there any chance they will put up those singles from the last decade on the album? Songs like Doom & Gloom and Living in a Ghost Town?

Frankly, I feel there were many turning points in the first 20 years that defined the "new" Stones. From basis Blues and RnR going on with Soul, R&B, Pop, then adopting influences from Dylan/Kinks and flower power. But yes, maybe Beggar's Banquet was the first album where they found their unpolished selves. It was an interesting ride to get there though.

QuoteRnT In the reviews many complaints about the so called 'Dutch disease'. Lots of people hardly paying attention to the artist. Talking and boozing instead and thereby spoiling the concert for the people who DO want to listen to the music. Happened in the Arena as well though the sound there was so bad that it hardly mattered. Modern times I guess. I was there with my son, and all

Basically Petty is paying hommage to all his influences. The Stones being one of them. The Heartbreakers are a fine coverband. It's a nice album, with no really outstanding performances. Mike's interpretation of Keith' wild solo on It's all over now shows us how great Keith really is.
