Very interesting to read about the different feelings, experiences, etc. of fans during the days the sound of Satisfaction was filling our galaxy. Personally, I had just turn 17, there wasn't any dissatisfaction in my life at that time in 1965. Following The Last Time, Satisfaction for me was yet another proof that the Stones were BIG. In my country they even beat the Beatles' Help! T

Nice explanations for something that would not only embarrass the members of The Rolling Stones, but I think many diehard Stones fans would no longer be able to look anybody straight into the eyes. Bob Dylan felt embarrassed, don't let that happen to the Stones. "The greatest Rock 'n Roll band in the World" .... please, leave it with that!

I feel a little bit lonely among you guys ... Maybe it's because I grew up with the Stones as of the beginning of 1964. After the impact of a couple of singles (Not Fade Away hit me like lightning, for instance and It's All Over Now was a power shot ...) their first albums came out (TRS, TRS-2, OOOH) and completely transformed me into a Stones addict. And then they started to write co

One of my daughters told me once that she visited a concert of Metallica and the band was starting a popular song, but things went wrong several times, so they started anew. And apparently the singer said to his band mates something in the line of "hai, we are professionals, we can do this" and from there on things went fine. I am still looking for the live recording (1972) of Midnight

For me it's the use of the word "recent". Matt Clifford played horn on stage in the days of Bill Wyman, so in the early 90s. Tim Ries also has been with the band much longer than "recent". Denson replaced Bobbie Keys in 2014. Blondie Chaplin was on several tours. But well, the text just gives a very brief overview. No big deal.
