QuoteDandelionPowderman I'm pretty sure they could pull off both Driving Me Too Hard and Live By The Sword nicely live. They would have to take the risk that at the start of Driving, people think it's Tumbling Dice, start cheering enthusiastically, then realise it's not, and inflate all that energy. I've seen that sort of thing happening with other acts, and though it'

QuoteSilver Dagger Spot on Gas. It stands alone on its own merits. The most common argument is that it's not as good as so and so. Why do people feel the need to compare all the time? Do people really want the band to regurgitate the classic Stones' sound from the 70s? I certainly don't. That was then but this is now. It's a great album. This seems to be a misunderstanding

Quotedcba Quoteskytrench Gotta disagree with that, Not Fade Away was an great opener for Voodoo Lounge, It was keith's idea and Mick complained it totally failed at pumping up the audience and putting it in the right mood. In 97 they opened shows with the very fast "Satisfaction" which says a lot. Wow, if Mick really has said that, it goes to show he really sometimes misses

Quotevertigojoe I wonder if Mick really regrets his cheapness in not giving MT any songwriting credits. He drove him away by doing this i believe. Its a bit like a man having an affair with a beautiful young woman(Taylor), being inspired by her, wanting to be with her, but in the end opting to stay with his wife (Richards) despite the fact that the relationship is dead, he sure doesn't love

Quotededospegajosos Overdubbing with a new performance is one thing, copying and pasting from the studio version is a new level of mediocrity ...and also stupidity It certainly is not very "punk". If that word has any meaning at all, it must be the opposite of something like overdubbing a studio version onto a live recording.

You're making some interesting points. I might give it another chance. Also, the fact that HD is an album on which all of the three remaining Stones seem to agree about the songs is certainly something to applaud compared to previous albums, on which there were "Mick-songs" (which Keith probably didn't like) and "Keith-songs" (which Mick probably didn't like).

It is great if you enjoy Hackney Diamonds, Bakersfield, and you definitely have a point: Many Stones songs depend on the band's performance: Jagger's voice, the weaving of the guitars, the rhythm section.

Let me add that I like the Stones because they were special in the sense that they combined groovy American roots music (blues and soul mainly) with a certain pop-sense, but without loosing their rawness. As exemplified especially at their start, and later from late-60s until mid-70s, with a small revival at the end of the 70s. I recently read an interview with the former Police drummer, Stewart
