When this song was released as a single, a few weeks before the album, I thought wow! a great album to be looking forward to. But alas, the album was a total deception. The single, great!

Priest on their Point of Entry tour and Saxon touring for Denim and Leather album. Saw Priest in 82 in Vancouver on the Screaming For Vengeance tour and Saxon in 83 when they opened for Iron Maiden. Actually it was still Saxon's Strong Arm Of The Law

QuoteRocky Dijon I just read through the last few pages and realized is right. Mick has sucked since he went solo nearly forty years ago. The only good Stones songs are Keith songs. Keith should have stayed solo. I hate The Rolling Stones. I don't want the new album. I'm not even sure why I get up in the morning. Or...I could look forward to a new album in 2023 and be positive.

I'm not sure if Andrew Watt would be the right person to produce this record, considering the weight that both fans and the band are putting on this undoubtedly last effort. From what I can see on wikipedia anyway, his resume as a producer is not that impressive. Maybe I'm missing something? I can't imagine that for instance Keith would be impressed by two albums by Ozzy Osbour

QuoteKingbeebuzz The Last Time is indeed a great, catchy, radio friendly song.......made a hit imo due to Brian’s riff throughout. However, it can be well argued that it is not an entirely self penned Jagger/Richards song. It is in fact a clever interpretation or rewrite of an existing song.....which is what they did with ALL their hits up to that time. The first genuine self penned hit was Satis

I think that this story was originally mentioned in Tony Sanchez's book Up And Down With The Rolling Stones. To me it does make sense, personally I think that The Last Time is way above their earlier compositions, their first self-written smash hit record, pointing out the 'definitive' Stones sound, confirmed a short while later by I Can't Get No. Apparently Keith remembere

My guess is that, had Primitive Cool been a top ten chart hit worldwide, he might have pursued a solo career further than he did. But then I'm also pretty sure that, at some point, he would have worked with the other Stones again. I mean, that happens to other bands as well. In the end, we have a couple of solo records and a couple of Stones records (and tours!), since.
Forum: Tell Me

A few minor details here. Jagger indeed didn't actually leave the band. On the other hand, he might have done so, had Primitive Cool been a success (Mick hinted at that in '87, himself, in the interview he gave to one Boudewijn Buch on Dutch tv). Because he was not bound by the then current contract with Columbia/CBS. They had a contract to deliver four albums, but were to be paid per a

QuoteDandelionPowderman He probably said that he played the leading riff. It's a rather unique riff in the Stones cannon, not really a Keith-sounding riff, imo.

Usually The Stones credited the original writers on their early records and what they did back then was give attention to the vast wealth of blues music that was already there for decades, that had remained largely unnoticed by the broader public, due to the peculiarity of the American music industry (I am carefully avoiding to make this a political issue). In short, The Rolling Stones gave t

In a normal tour setting it is hardly conceivable that they'd play much of the new album, let alone in its entirety. But maybe they could do a few shows a la, what do you call it, residency or so? Say, five shows or so in one place, each show with an emphasis on different songs, or albums. Or a tour like 2002, with stadiums (mostly warhorses), arenas (mixture of new and old) and thea

Regarding ABB I could do without She Saw Me Coming, Dangerous Beauty, Look What The Cat Dragged In, Driving Too Fast and Infamy. Thus, the album that would remain is about 47 minutes long, but there's Under The Radar and Don't Wanna Go Home too. Blue & Lonesome Pt II would be nice, but still, a covers album wouldn't be a proper, new album, although the same could be argued

I would prefer a concise record of about 45 minutes, indeed. If you would trim down the last four original studio albums to that size, each of them would be rather good, depending on which songs one would want to leave out. Note that in the seventies all Stones albums were rather long: 40-48 minutes, when a lot of artists made 33-38 minute long records. And of course Aftermath in the sixties
