Drake, a lot of stuff seems beyond you indeed. Don't blame us for that.

Bayou, I so agree! That was just what I said in a post on great Woody moments, pointing that ONE note at the end of Let Me Down Slow. And I don't think it's call-and-response, which implies something like a bar for the call, a bar for the response, in a gospel-type thing. This is somehow more subtle. I do believe this is one of Woody's finest arts, in most every thing he reco

Very good call, 2000man. Eminem is indeed extremely talented (as Charlie often acknowledges, which pleases me a lot!) and rap is a very interesting genre, although 90% is crap - which is probably the proportion of crap in any genre anyway. It is true that the criticism is very similar - i remember my father saying rocj is not music because it's repetitive, heavy, vulgar and these singers

When a theatre company tours, do you expect them to change the script every evening in order to diversify the show? No. Same with a revue. I think it's absurd to expect the Stones to do different setlists everynight. They have set their "2005-2006 review" and that's it. It's already quite something that they modify it when playing many times in one city, which they don�

Perhaps there are more for a sociologist: Factory Girl Mother's Little Helper 19th Nervous breakdown Satisfaction and so many others in fact. I don't think stones are mainly about cadillacs and easy lays. They really are depicting society by creating microcosmos. Even Grown up wrong is one of them, "You look so sweet when you're in your jeans but you've grown up

I very much like Keys to your love, mainly because of the vocals - the rest feels a bit like a demo to me. But Don't Stop has grown into a favourite, I just love the slick, sleazy sound, raspy vocals and the break. A classic.

A mistake seems to be to assume that everyone goes to see 5 shows. I'll see one and I'd be really annoyed to hear them play second rate stuff for the one time I'll be there.

On ABB, for instance, just one note: after Jagger sang his last adlib on Let Me Down Slow, Woody punctuates with that high note, 'squeek!' and it's so vocal, like it was Jagger himself who had went 'woow'. That's one thing I think a good Woody does better than anyone: counter-chants, playing as one sings - some sort of guitar skat.
Forum: Tell Me

Yes, I ment recent moments of course, as there surely is no shortage of great Woody moments up to 1995! However, just to say I still think he's great in the studio and in fact I prefer all the tracks from ABB on which he is, the other I think lack something. I also think that the guitar 'weaving' is at its best on Voodoo Lounge, as good as on Some Girls, in a neater, more cont

I don't think anyone said it's out of key - but it's completely out of pace. I'm a great fan of Woody's raggedness, but now all this noise and delayed notes seem pure mess. Many of his old - super cool - blue notes now sound to me like false notes. He used to be this amazing hybrid of a rhythm and a solo player, now - can anyone honestly say that this solo has any dynamic

Seems I'm talking with myself here, never mind... But still listening to Boston; there are horns on Sympathy, had never heard that before. Was it always like that in 99? How odd! Sounds completely out of place to me.
Forum: Tell Me

By the way, a great show, Boston 99. Jagger is actually more creative than usual, varies adlibs here and there, anybody noted how he quotes Prince at the end of Brown Sugar? "Yeah, everybody's gotta party, we're gonna party like it's 1999"

Thing is, I love Wood's playing and at his best he's perhaps my favourite rock guitar player. Something so jazzy and constantly creative in his Some Girls playing, never heard such minute, subtle licks. Now just to highlight a fairly recent moment I love by Woods: Start Me Up, Boston 99. It's cool that he's up in the mix for once and man, is he funky. Him and Charlie a

I'd certainly buy a live album from this tour, hearing what smoking versions they gave of: All Down the Line, MrPitiful, Night Time, Shattered, Sympathy, Back of my hand, Rain Fall Down... Only overdub some guitars and I'll be fine.

stone-relic, I just notice that's not coherent with Jones' own complain. He said they'd never play him - if what you say was true, he'd complain of being ripped off.
Forum: Tell Me

Oh common, Mathijs is right, this solo is just dreadful, completely out of time, like a stumblin' man's walk... Jagger is fine though, and his harp is excellent on LIS. Answering a question asked somewhere else, my guess is, YES, Jagger gets frustrated by the mess played behind him...

Since you've been gone is one of best rythmic track i've ever heard. That's on Motherlode, by the way, along with There It Is and another absolute masterpiece, as long as it's title: People get up and drive your funky soul, you know with the wonderful horn bridge?

Forum: Tell Me

Some really good points and some surprising bad ones: Overall, Jagger seems much more at ease than before in high register, which is simply amazing as he's been recovering steadily since 1981! Check All Down The Line, Sympathy and many others, he has fun going up in the adlib. His voice is incredibly sharp, and some frequent muddles of the past "if I don't GUT SUM SHUlter"

So let's compromise: I vote in the stripped Miss You of live licks small stage, shorter and with Mick on harp.

Hey come on, Live At The Appolo is mind-blowing! Perhaps what's unsettling at first is that the real killers are the slow ones - I lost someone - whereas when we get a Brown CD we actually look forward to the fast ones.

IORR is still just 7 seconds long, apart from that all fine - and really enjoyable! I love to hear Mick relaxed in rehearsals, he shines when he doesn't try too hard. Also, although his solo line up makes me cringe a bit (Satriani! urk!), I am surprised at finding them quite bearable. Thanks a lot man.
