QuoteSwayed1967 extremely unambitious lyrics Well it's a love letter to Patti. The "I hope you find it funny That I've got no money" line is very revealing : he tells her he spent 10 years in a drug limbo, he did not manage his business well (unlike Mick) so he's "poor" (that is a poor rockstar). Fortunately, later in the decade, some lad named Michael Co

Morphine obviously! The cold acoustic guitar sound (how can you make an acoustic guitar sound cold?). Nicky's piano which is EQed to sound metallic and sinister and it does. Cooder's slide that sounds like slipping into death... we have a true gloomy masterpiece here!

I think your Dad was caught up in the terrible whirlwind of History but Leni knew perfectly what she was doing = she was a pure Nazi.

QuoteNashvilleBlues Pearl Jam is definitely on the level of Green Day and Foo Fighters. Yeah but Europe has a tradition of General Admission : I happened to see the Stones front row twice without coughing out the big buck. I just had to show up early and head for the rail.
Forum: Tell Me

Very strange... the band waited for Franco to croak to officially play in Spain yet Mick flirted with this pos. Maybe we can blame that on the trend of the times "nazi chic" which produced works by Guy Peellaert (the famous "Stones in SS uniforms" painting) or the shocker movie "The Night Porter". Anyway it's not Mick's finest hour.

QuoteStoneage I think it's partly an American phenomena. A large part of the Taylor Swift audience here in Sweden (Stockholm, 3 concerts, 150 000 audience in total) were flown in Americans. Apparently it was cheaper for them to fly to Europe and stay a couple of days at a hotel than the single ticket cost in the US... Same goes for the numerous (6?) French gigs. Lots of US fans.

QuoteRisingStone Who can prove the true value of an event? Tapes? The Bush one always left me cold. Mundane setlist, worthless one-off songs (Melody? Moon Is Up?

I'd put the album songs sung by Keef (always cool stuff) plus a bunch of almost-made-the-final-tracklist outtakes ("You Got It Made" comes to mind) and I'd finish the comp with some cool acoustic stuff (material from "Residue" or disc II of Brew : "Cocaine Blues" or "Make No Mistake"). Voila!

Live, the song (and its ad-lib end) allowed them to go "free form" and let the swing out. It's very notable on the (aud) tape of the end of the 94 tour : the fun was palpable. It's really one of these songs - much like OOC in 97/98 - that was meant to grow, expand and be explored/pushed to its limits live.

QuoteKurt What, do you think that all of his kids pay their own taxes??? So true and you raise an interesting point : Mick certainly does give a plump "advance on heritage" yearly allowance to each of his kids. So that money must be taxed according to U.S. laws, that is, what, 25%? Anyway the big news is, as Nils noticed, Mick has plans for 2025 and 2026?
