Quotekeefriffhards Works both ways man, in the same clip you are bashing Keith for being out of tune like its sounds crap because of him. If you can't stand the heat get out of the kitchen. Well, I know how a video taken in front of the stage affects the sound of a band. Vocals are bound to sound weak and distant, but the guitar amps three meters in front of you don't lie. You have

I really like this one. Everyone of the principles seems to have put in a lot of consideration on their respective parts. Beautiful delivery by Mick and really dynamic and melodic playing by both Keith and Ronnie topped with a great background vocal and string arrangement. A true band effort!

Fantastic playling from Keith on this one! That's exactly how you want to hear him, having got used to his limitations and just focusing on laying down that chugging groove that makes so much of their late 70's, early 80's sound. Am I right that Keith plays the rhythm guitars to the sides and Ronnie plays the riff (with the solo) down the middle?

Everyone is talking about this track being a Sex-pistols kind of 70's punk track. Sure, but what put a smile on my face was when I noticed that it reminded me a lot of the proto-punk they did in the 60's like Miss Amanda Jones! Having a sixties legens and one of the pioneers of fuzz bass on there does help of course

I really like the verses but the chorus sounds like something you've heard a thousand times, a very generic early 2000's pop rock chorus.

The bridge reminds of a tune from the early 80s, I would have thought that it's something from Emotional Rescue, but I'm probably thinking of something from Undercover where the back beat is cut in half for the bridge. Anyway, I think the tune is a great tribute to their non-Open-G rockers!

It helps to have something to celebrate in these times, a bit of escapism. Even though I will probably be more critical in the future, at the moment I cannot imagine what a Stones fan could wish for at this point other than a song like Live by the Sword or Driving Me Too Hard. Many things can be said and analysed. Lyrics here, production there. One thing is for certain: The album has energy, life
Forum: Tell Me

Live by the Sword would fit right on Emotional Rescue! The chugging guitars, the style of the backing vox, the sort of half-time bridge. It's so far my favourite together with Depending on You, Get Close and Driving Me Too Hard. Great piano by Elton too. You can hear he had fun!

Fantastic that Mick and Keith share a lot of the backing vocals on this record! I think I even hear Keith on Bite My Head Off. ("chaaiiiin")

QuoteMelBelli Keith tells Paul Sexton that he wanted to write a song around the unusual chord found in “Tell Me Straight.” It’s a B minor with a sharp five. He’s been intrigued by that chord for many years. You can hear him work with it on “Part of the Night” from the Fully Finished Outtakes set. It's basically the same arpeggio of the same chord he plays in the verses of Wild Horses (l

SPOILER ALERT! On some tracks there is such a cool Undercover-sound to the backing vocals (Bite My Head Off, Get Close, Life by the Sword) while on others it's a autotuned kitsch-mess (Angry, Whole Wide World). But despite that, overall a lot of great tracks it seems! Great guitar sounds and playing from both Ronnie and Keith with each one having solo turns. Mick sounds fantastic when And

Driving Me Too Hard is beautiful with Keith's backing vocals.

Mostly, I enjoy watching opening acts, even if I don't like their music. The waiting time goes by quicker. Leon Bridges, whose music I loved at the time, had a great performance in Arnhem, but the mix was awful. BUT, having been to the first three No Filter shows in 2017, I have to say that Kaleo were pure torture. In Hamburg, I just didn't like what I heard and the pretentiousness

The horn players aren't listened either? So cool to hear the moog bass by Stevie on this one. In the bridge and the breakdown section it really gives it something else. Could it be that it's just the Moog bass on the rest of the song also and neither Keith nor Andrew played electric bass?

The Sax, the horns, strings, the moog. In the songs we've already heard there's a lot of instruments that didn't appear regularly for a long time on Stones albums!

Looking forward to this one! Lady Gaga is a good choice to have someone for a duett who is a massive pop star but also has a lot of artistic integrity. And Stevie Wonder doesn't need a justification

QuoteGasLightStreet QuoteRocky Dijon "Angry" has grown on me. It takes me awhile to get over my old fart mentality. What first struck me as nasal in "And I want to know why-I-I-I" then clicked that it's Mick incorporating a bit of Indian influence and wailing in the middle of a pop rock song. What first seemed like the unmistakable contribution of Andrew Watt and sounded

I find the autotune and vocal production not very well done on Angry. Not because I don't like autotune: It can be used artistically in many different ways and I think Ghost Town is a good example where it fits because that kind of dub sound carries a long tradition of effects and sound manipulation. On a Rock'n'Roll-tune like Angry it sounds cheesy and I get Angry because I know

Love the guitars on this one. Absolute pros: Ronnie's lines are very tasty and the doubled and panned rhythm guitar by Keith keeps it interesting.

Quotekeefriffhards QuoteMonkeyMan2000 Quotematxil QuoteMonkeyMan2000 I wonder whose idea it was to put overdrive on Keith's bass. This, I think, is what gives the bassline and also the whole instrumental a lot of character past the obvious Stones by the numbers riff. With my band in the studio, we sometimes use overdrive on the bass part to hide some inaccuracies, so that less editing needs
