it was the song that got me into the Stones - I saw them perform it on SNL and went out and bought Some Girls the next day. I still love it!

I think this is my all-time top Stones song

QuoteUrban Wheel ... Come'on this is defintely the last time the lads will go out and play! Not really ... you're paying to see Bernard Fowler & Lisa Fischer sing, Chuck Levelle on keyboards, and the horns section do their thing. If it were just the Stones, I'd consider paying $500 - but not for this big band crap that they now resort to.

i wouldn't have bought the $300 ticket in the first place - i'll wait on the $30 dvd set (like i did the past couple tours).

QuoteMore Hot Rocks Love the tune. The version on IORR is still the best. I too think the studio version is seriously kick ass! Even though a cover, it has always been my favorite track off the album.

when the price comes down to $2.50 then i'll consider it

QuoteIgotDbluez I guess I'm in the minority here, but I actually prefer the Stones version of "Ain't Too Proud to Beg." Howling Mick - I love it. I also much prefer the Stones version w/ Mick belting out the lyrics!

I saw keith & the Winos @ Tower Theatre - the sound was absolutely terrible. Soul Asylum (Grave Dancers tour) was the opening act and they were amazing - and their sound was equally amazing. I always wondered how a band w/ unlimited monetary resources couldn't get the sound right when a band that wasn't too well known can nail it.
Forum: Tell Me

A lot of eggcellent songs, imo - but the one thing about this album that always bothered me is that all the songs have almost the same beat/sound/etc. Still, I love tracks like Come To Realize, Worry No More, We All Get Old & Buried Alive.

QuoteWeLoveYou It's near enough impossible to tell the difference between a 320kbps compressed music file and a CD. Anyone who says they can either has bionic ears or they're lying. i have to agree ... i had the same argument w/ a co-worker about 7 years ago. He insisted that he could 'easily' tell the difference between non-compression & compression - I sampled 1 song (

iTunes has a She Said Yeah, 2 track single, where the 2nd track is a live video of the song. It sounds familiar ... I can't remember where I have a live She Said Yeah - it must be on Got Live If You Want It, I suppose.

QuoteGazza U2 certainly did it (Zoo TV tour, 1992) before the Stones, but as far as I know Bryan Adams was using one in the 80's. The Stones didnt do it until 1997 (although theyd done a moving stage mini-set as a one off on the Miami PPV show in November '94) Are you sure? I recall being at a Zoo TV show and don't recall a b-stage, although it was a long time ago.

Quotevancouver convert to wave . How would that eliminate the pops? You need to use a tool like cool edit - you can zoom in and highlight the area of the pop and then either have cool edit reduce that sound ... or sometimes if the pops are only several milliseconds in length then you can remove it completely without any noticeable sound difference.
