Quotedrewmaster An utterly captivating track, so gentle and yet menacing. The mood is so vivid, it’s like being front-row in a theater, watching a scene that you can’t take your eyes off of. And Mick’s harp … ohhhhhhh baby, it doesn’t get any sweeter than this. Dark, mesmerizing, and sublime. Little Rain is a perfect example of the Stones’ genius at taking a simple musical idea and transformin

QuoteHairball And the prices would be much less expensive, along with the possibility of many setlist changes from one show to the next- not just one song here or there.

QuoteHairball Due to the writers block and/or Mick and Keiths inability to write together anymore, maybe they could record some new and updated versions of some of their early originals. Contemporary cover versions of their own tunes! Might be farfetched, but consider the writings already done...just give the tunes a facelift, and they could almost sound brand new. Probably not the best idea, b

Quotebakersfield As I've often said before, DW was seen as a return to form after the sterile Undercover. Even Keith Richards agreed with a journalist that Undercover was 'dull'.

To my ears side two of Undercover sounds phoned-in compared to side two of Dirty Work which is a solid run of good songs I

I think the irony of that Slim Harpo cover quote by Mick from 1968 - that Hairball repeats again and again and sounding like hitting a wall with it - is that the Stones had been a couple of years a band based purely on releasing original material. AFTERMATH, BETWEEN THE BUTTONS, SATANIC MAJESTIES... (yeah, FLOWERS contained one years earlier cut cover soul song). But just after the quote the band

What Einsteins here. Is it some kind of self-therapy or what is the point of stating the obvious? That almost 80 years old Keith is not the young gun he once was.

QuoteEasterMan Both Mick and Keith are relying very much on backing musicians these days. Just think about how would Gimme Shelter sound today without the backing vocals? This is very true.
