the Stones got a lot of heat from the feminists for songs like Under My Thumb, Some Girls, and Little T&A. probably why they've been rarely played in the last 20 years but I don't recall any big brouhaha from the bible thumpers for Faraway Eyes when it was released. I always thought it was more making fun of rednecks and country music in general. especially Mick's over-th

I like black and blue. Hand of Fate is a Stones classic. Hot Stuff, Fool to Cry and Memory Motel are good songs, imho.
Forum: Tell Me

if we're talking songs here, then "Satisfaction" definitely qualifies in my book as a "heavy" early song. but it is an anomaly in the Stones' early catalog. the Who were more consistently "heavy" with songs like "My Generation", but it is still not what I consider "hard rock" I think: precursors to hard rock: who, kinks hard

I purchased the Red Square dvd this week and I'm rather disappointed. the bonus concert, although highly edited, is ok but the main one really sucks because all the songs are intercut with long boring documentary crap. I wanted to see one long uncut concert. that's certainly what I thought I was buying - there's no way you could tell from the front cover, or even the back for t

Chuck is the safety net for when Keith just decides to stop playing in mid-song to lean on his mike or do a smiley leg-kick pose or whatever he does these days. Same thing goes for Ronnie, to a large extent (rely on Chuck, that is). Chuck ensures that the songs keep on going and don't fall apart in mid-stream. Hey, I love the old band too, but Keith and Ronnie just can't hack it alon

if they played a "heavier" Under My Thumb, similar to what's seen on Gimme Shelter, I would be in heaven. Hell, all their songs should be played heavier. Even their famous "heavy" songs like Sympathy For the Devil and Gimme Shelter are a joke the way they play them these days.

Dylan, summer '88, Ottawa Civic Centre (opener - The Alarm. that was bad enough!) I was very excited to see him as he was one of my heroes. Dylan went through most of his hits at breakneck speed in an absolutely monotone singing voice, never once acknowledged the audience staring straight ahead into space and staying immobile during the whole concert. He looked as though he'd r
