Fantastic song, the perfect example of the essentials of the Stones: the groove, the swagger, the rhythm, Mick's voice, everything is perfect. It works great live too.

Quote24FPS Finally heard the CD last night, on loan from the local library. For this we have 232 pages? It sounds just like those Expensive Winos CDs from the late 80s, early 90s. No real stand out cut. (I like Bill Wyman's 'What & How & If & Where & Why single better). Keith can still play an impressive acoustic, and his bass playing is better than Darryl. That's

QuoteTurner68 People often do. Sometimes people even think that it was Taylor coming on board that was responsible for the greatness of the big 4, when that is clearly not the case since he wasn't on BB and just did a couple overdubs on LIB! I think you're right in that Jimmy Miller is big part of the answer. Reasons why the Big Four Albums were so good: 1) Keith made a huge jump

QuoteStoneburst I have read it. Not all 231 pages (having, alas, neither the time or energy for that) but the last ten or so, and I don't see what all the fuss is about. What did Doxa say that was so wrong? He did comment on the music, then made a pretty lighthearted and uncontroversial comment about a small number of Keith partisans. The OTT reaction to what he said just proves his point.

People who are criticising me for discussing songs from that album in this thread make me laugh. Isn't that why we're here in the first place? No agendas, no campaigning, no groupthink - just discussing the album. Wouldn't that be nice?

I just saw "Under the Influence" on Netflix. I thought it was a nice documentary. Nothing new, nothing particular deep, just a nice overview of where he is coming from and what moves him.
