I always thought it was 'Like A Motherfvcker'. Also heard it was New York gang speak for 'Let's All Make Friends' though.

An understated masterpiece! Love that 'In the bar you're getting drunk line". It's one of those really great Stones songs that sound so good Sunday Morning Coming Down 'when your friends all leave you in the cold grey dawn'. File next to Coming Down Again.

I always liked the one from Wembley Sept 8 1973. Early show. And Knebworth 76 was pretty cool too. Was at both those shows.

The Hot Rocks version is the Ya-Yas one. The longest ever concert version was something like nearly 14 minutes. Forget where though but it was long, loud and beautiful.

Ever heard the Go Home Productions version of Gimme Shelter crossed with Shannon's Let The Music Play? Pretty cool if you can take someone messing with The Stones' music.

The extra Hyde Park stuff has been around for about 18 months now. I picked up a copy in HMV for pretty cheap. Amazon have copies going from about £6.50 in their new and used section. Can't comment on the Milano stuff as haven't got my copy yet. Anyone else out there now if it was pro-shot or amateur footage? Anyone know if a silver disc including the Frost Show version of Sympath

Yeah by the way Helt, are there any more of those Sgt Pepper outtakes available for download somewhere or was the title track just a one off.

By the way, any idea when we can expect the remastered Beatles CDs. There was talk that their release would coincide with last year's 40th anniversary of Sgt Pepper. But that has been and gone and the next date in the anniversary calendar is 2012 - the 50th anniversary of the release of the 1st album. I have a contact in the biz who says the recordings have all been upgraded for CD and sound

The Stones could never have coped with such an undisciplined though brilliant drummer. Charlie Watts is so underrated for what he does and his genius is that he makes it all sound so simple. The Who thrived off that manic energy between Moon and Townshend which made them so exciting. They made more mistakes live because of it than The Stones, Zepp or any of the other A list classic rock bands but

QuoteGreen LadyI think Tumbling Dice decided to walk before they made him run - so he chucked his jockey at the third fence and went home. All those who looked at the weather forecast and had a penny or two on Snowy Morning got a useful third place (and yes, it's snowing this morning). Yes, it is snowing. Greetings from snowy Hertfordshire.

Fantastic. Many thanks Signor Skelter. That version of Sgt Pepper's Lonely Heart's Lonely Hearts Club Band is brilliant. Is there an album that I can download these tracks from? I thought I'd heard most Fabs' outtakes by now.

I guess not paulywaul. I noticed also that there was a Back Beat running and Iron Man so The Beatles and Black Sabbath were also duly represented. And neither of them in the top four. Perhaps with a name like Tumbling Dice we could expect a doping scandal?
Forum: Tell Me

Bollox. Tumbling Dice tumbled like a tumbling tumbleweed. Long shot kick de bucket as they say in Jamaica. At least I covered my bet by putting some dosh on the aptly named Slim Pickings which came in fourth. And Man City got beaten at home by Chelski - not a good day at the office for me today.

I'm bored with having to pay increasingly big bucks for their shows - £165 or $330 a ticket last year in London. For three shows that's a crazy $990. No other band charges as much. Plus the set lists for the 40 Licks and ABB tours were really similar. It's fleecing the fans. I don't expect them to make another killer album but at least live wise they could change the set list

Baboon Bro, The same concern over lyrics can be said of many Stones songs. Does Jagger really feel comfortable singing 'I'm called the hit and run raper in anger'. Does it worry McCartney that he may be construed a paedophile when he sings "she was just 17, you know what I mean". If it was Gary Glitter singing that last line then there'd be outrage. I don't t

I'm a huge Who fan but I can't get excited about this. There was a huge expectation for Endless Wire but it just ain't that good. I played it a few times but it's not even on the same planet as anything they did up to Quadrophenia. There's very few bands - the Stones included unfortunately - that can still make worthy albums that stand with the cannon of their best work.

Wasn't there a country album that he ditched just after Harvest was released - perhaps around 73. I saw him with CSN at Wembley in 74 and he played then unreleased songs such as Love Art Blues, Hawaiian Sunrise, Traces, which cropped on albums over the years.
