QuoteDandelionPowderman Which CH-songs would you have liked to hear live? I'd say the title track (imagine if Keith comes out alone with an acoustic doing this number!) + Amnesia, Love Overdue, Suspicious, Nothing On Me, Something For Nothing, Blues In The Morning and Lover's Plea. A setlist like this one would have been cool: Crosseyed Heart Take It So Hard You Don't Mo

QuoteDandelionPowderman QuoteRobbedBlind QuoteDandelionPowderman There are very good songs on both Dirty Work and Bridges To Babylon, hence none of them are the «very poor» records that some posters suggest. Both albums have 4-5 very good songs on them, and that amount of very good Stones tunes make them interesting, imo. Sometimes I wonder why people bother to listen to the Stones, if they

QuoteDoxa "Celebrate"? "We"? So the point of discussing a new Keith Richards album is to celebrate it?

I am actually a bit surprised. I always thought that in the beginning Brian Jones was the better guitar player and Keith just more enthusiast than actually technically good. For that reason, I always figured that Brian Jones did most of the solos (except for All Over Now, which was by Keith, and, admittedly, is a fantastic solo). About Brian writing songs with Keith or Mick, I think I read

Maybe things started to go wrong with Jagger, when he started to take singing classes? Back to Crosseyed Heart, I don't know if it's because of singing classes or quitting too many drugs or more self-assurance, but Keith is singing much better on CH than on his previous solo effors, as much as I like those albums too.

Great analysis. Now, I would like to see an in-depth study of "Gold" by Spandau Ballet and how it's actually about cunnilingus. And then "Take On Me" by A-ha, "Love and Pride" by Paul King and "A shoo shi shi" (or whatever it was called) by Kayagoogoo (or whatever they were called). The 80's: such a lovely decade...

It's good when played live by the Winos. It doesn't sound so good (to say the least) on DW. But nothing is as bad as Back To Zero. Even The Reflex from Duran Duran (which apparantly is something worthy to include in iorr discussions?) is slightly less abysmal than Back To Zero. But worse than Too Rude, so there you go: there are at least two songs worse than Too Rude.

Start Me Up because Ron looks hilarously bad and Mick Jagger is very funny on it. One Hit, because of the whole athmosphere. I even like the cheesy mise-en-scene of Mick and Keith fighting. Love Is Strong, it really contributes to the feel of the song.

Aren't there two versions of @#$%& Blues? The acoustic version (the most known one, and the better version really) and the more electric one. And the single version of One Hit is shorter than the album version but that's probably not what you meant.

When it came out, I kinda liked it, but I haven't listened to it much ever since.

Truth be told, if I could choose between Keith touring this and next year with the winos to promote Crosseyed Heart, or the Stones making another album and touring on that, I am inclined to choose the first. It's a terrible thing to say, and I hope I'm proved wrong, but I find the chances that the Stones will do something better than Crosseyed Heart are very small.
