Quotefranzk A nice, lenghty interview with Billy Wyman about his childhood, early Stones, Brian etc. "And Satisfaction. I’m the only guy that goes to the four chord.". Very interesting. I always wondered about that. I always thought that Keith was going to the 4th chord too, with his thumb on the 6th string, or something like that.

Quotebobo If the song vote was up to me it should be album themed, just that, 3-4 songs to choose from. No stuff that has been released as singles. Different albums every gig, then start again when they were through the albums, but then with 3-4 other songs. Alternatively, they could do a set where they started with a song from their 1st album and then chronically go forwards in time (skipping

I don't know exactly *why* the well turned dry, but I agree that it did. Their last absolutely great album was Tattoo You. That makes 6 albums that were spectacularly good, better than any other band. Plus some other previous albums which were still pretty damn good. Their output after TY was in sharp decline, varying between mediocre, "nice try", meaningless or "has a few gre

Ever since Tattoo You, their album covers have been much much worse than ER. I guess the same goes for the music. Not as great as Some Girls.

I saw the movie last night. Well done, and at times very moving. Remarkable how Marlon came through all that.

I didn't really understand what you meant with "At least in regard to the year/not album of that song. In other words, don't say Doctor if you say Jumpin' Jack Flash. Don't say Gimme Shelter if you say Honky Tonk Women." Did you mean that I cannot name two songs from the same year, even if they are on different albums? Anyway, I only looked at the official new-relea

QuoteBarkerboy2 I definitely still listen to the album. I see it as a very worthwhile addition to the back catalogue, and I am eagerly awaiting the follow-up, should we ever actually get it. One opinion that hasn't changed in a while for me though is regarding my skippable songs. Dreamy Skies and Tell Me Straight just don't fit for me. I know those songs are a lot of others favourite

- "Flip the Switch" 7/10. They should have worked it a bit more. - "Anybody Seen My Baby?" 7/10. Not bad at all. - "Low Down" 6/10. Filler, but nice. - "Already Over Me" 5/10 Meh. - "Gunface" 5/10.

QuoteDan [...] And as far as what a typical fan can afford - how about this - Oasis tickets aren't meant for people who can't afford Oasis tickets. Which is a nice summary of why this whole Oasis act of "being from the the working class, just one with the lads" is just a load of ... nonsense.

Tattoo You is the last time they truelly produced a master-piece. The A-side is already wonderful, full of steaming soul and rock n roll. The B-side is an absolute marvel. I like to think of the B-side as one single unity, a bit like the Exile album: you can't take anything away or add anything to it. Worried About You is one the gems along Tops, Heaven, No Use In Crying and Waiting On A

They blamed the Sex Pistols when they got back and started touring that they only did it for the money, which was probably true (they did't like each other and weren't able to make new songs anymore), but still, maybe they deserved making some money and getting some new recognition. Also, Johnny Rotten, as moronic as he often is, especially the past couple of years, was a fantastic fron

Their last truely great album. The only weaker song (Hang Fire) doesn't take away the overall brilliance of it. The guy who dug up all the out-takes that ended up on the album deserves a medal (or, rather, at least 50% of the copyrights).

QuoteDandelionPowderman Actually, ER seems to have become better rated among fans in recent years, from what I've read here, there and everywhere. Black And Blue, however, must be one of their most overlooked albums regarding the quality. The problem with Black And Blue is that Cherry Oh Baby really is very awful. The rest of the album is alright, but it lacks really big highlights, apa

I think "Emotional Rescue" seems rather underrated. It normally doesn't end up high in lists of great Stones' albums. TSMR is 50% extreemly good (much better than Pepper) but 50% very very bad, Undercover is occasionally great but it has 4 shit songs on it and Between the Buttons is not even bad, just boring, meaningless and - worse of all: - fake, unauthentic.
