Quotetreaclefingers QuoteIrix Quotetreaclefingers And if you happen to be watching clips of the Stones from the 60s, they would in fact be mostly black and white! But that's not what I meant. For younger people, decades-old films/music might feel old. Yes I know, it's just ironic. Isn't that ironic?

Mick sang flat on all of the HD songs live in 2024. Bizarrely. As in, he wasn't flat anywhere else. In 2012-14 he rushed the words for Doom And Gloom. So what's Mick's issue with singing new songs flat? Overdoing it? Maybe. Are the songs in a key that doesn't work? Unlikely. Mick's range is nothing like Bono's and Stones songs don'

Quotetreaclefingers Quotegeorgemcdonnell314 There is a difference between unfinished and left over. None of us know.

It's both. I can't find it but Charlie does talk about it, following Keith. There have been exceptions, like She's So Cold in 1982 ha ha.

So bizarre, someone thinking Keith's writing on HACKNEY is "kinda weak". Some songs are obvious what Keith wrote, the rest are on the fence or Jagger with Keith's input regarding styling. Driving Me Too Hard vs Live By The Sword and Get Close vs Mess It Up are perfect examples.

Rocks Off has always been a waste of time live - they ruin it every time. There are long songs, studio wise, that they've played live, perhaps within even the album time, like CYHMK and Worried that work but Miss You, JJF, IORR, Brown Sugar, Tumbling Dice and, at least in 1989-90, Satisfaction - ehhhh, extremely extended live, one tour is enough.

HD is their best and most interesting creative album since BRIDGES and prior to that, UNDERCOVER. It's not an album for clown posers. Angry is fantastic - for The Rolling Stones in the 2020s. Better than Don't Stop, which is asleep at the wheel in comparison, and there's nothing pre or post Don't Stop that compares bombastically except Start Me Up: big memorable riffag
