Quoteretired_dog Quotesnoopy2 Just received mine and in the book it states that No Use In Crying is the only song off Tattoo You they haven't played live, but wait a minute, does this mean they've actually played Heaven live ??

QuoteBowieStone Since when is Neighbours a Jagger/Richards/Wood song? I think he confused Neighbors with Black Limousine.
Forum: Tell Me

Did the intense humidity play a role in the tuning? It happened to me with my guitar and it wasn't nice at all! However when you play underwater and in the cold strange things always happen it's really hard to be precise in those conditions and the Stones are not a precise band by nature.

I liked SSS, glad they played it is a song that I love. Listening again from the video posted above, it's not even that bad, some inaccuracies that the Stones usually do especially on songs that don't often play live, but all in all I liked it.

For me it's one of the best tracks on Tattoo You deluxe ... it's played beautifully and the slide guitar here is really cool! But the text is beautiful too ... and takes us back to the golden years.

I wanted to take some time, before making a judgment, well I have to say I liked it a lot. The best things for me are: - Troubles A 'Comin - Shame Shame Shame - Drift Away (I've always loved this cover, which is superior to others versions, nice text). - Fiji Jim (fantastic song, great lyrics, fantastic guitars above all the slide Ronnie I guess ...) - It's a Lie -

QuoteMaindefender QuoteRobertJohnson I had the chance meanwhile to hear Wembley on a good sound system. The old Sam Wheat-disease: Mick upfront in a grotesque way. The guitars in the background. It is the same messed-up sound like on Miami. A great performance and a lousy sound. Is Bob Clearmountain too expansive for a deluxe-project? So they pay for an absolutely deaf man. We haven't had

Mick is really great, because getting to that age that way doesn't happen by accident. Mick I'm sure he makes a lot of sacrifices to still be Mick Jagger. The thing that amazes me, however, is his voice, when I attended a Rod Stewart concert a few years ago, I thought that it is really true, of Mick Jagger there is only one, let's say that Rod was embarrassing, while Mick he is al

Thanks to everyone for their valuable contributions. Looking at the videos the result is what I expected, Steve has given this band a great energy and he is also good, so I liked it a lot. Of course Charlie is Charlie and I would have liked to have him, but life is also this .... Charlie is a drummer who has given us so much, but who has also had to compromise because of his age.

It goes without saying that the sound is different, Charlie and Steve play differently and Steve tends to hit the drums harder, so the volume is higher. But Steve doesn't have to imitate Charlie, he has to be himself and sound like he usually sounds. I hate that Charlie is no longer with us, but the world goes on.
