QuoteHMS They won´t do that. To much time has passed, no overdubs can be done anymore. YaYa´s is loaded with overdubs, so it seems they didn´t like the original material. And that is why they probably won´t release anything from that period in the future. Such an absolute rubbish conclusion!

QuoteMileHigh GYYYO rules, simple as that. Not a bad song to be found. The tension-release, tension-release vibe of Street Fighting Man is brilliant. The whole album is brilliant and the "signature Stones swing" song on the album is Little Queenie. There are very few albums that I can play back like a tape recorder in my head, and most of GYYYO is like that for me.

QuoteHonkeyTonkFlash SFM on Ya Ya's doesn't rock? Funny how we all hear things differently. I think it rocks like crazy, especially the ending section. Indeed.

Anyway, back then, live arrangements of many songs were ma

QuoteHMS QuoteGasLightStreet QuoteHMS Indeed. MT gave even rocking Stones-songs a mellow touch. Very unfitting most of the times. With MT the Stones were in danger to end up sounding like any (american) rock-band. Playing melodic, not too hard rocking songs and having a guitar-hero soloing the usual stuff. They´ve almost lost their identity while Taylor was in the band. Of course Taylor isn´t to
