I could just about stand his voice until about the mid 70's but it has been a straight drop since. I cannot beleive people still think he is good today. It would be an improvement to hear Townsend sing the songs of the Who these days.

Quotestonehearted QuoteChaz50 Anyone else noticed that Bill Wyman and the Rhythym Kings are also playing at Glastonbury? Maybe Bill will hook up with the Stones again? No chance. This is proof that those two-song appearances last year were it. Bill will never appear with The Stones again. It ends as acrimoniously as ever. Maybe the Bill and the RK will blow The Stones off the stage. I th

I have not liked the song live very much, but I thought it was much better in 2012, the best since 81 anyway. (I still think the studio version was one of the best singles they ever did though) Also are you guys sure that was a yawn and not just a guy singing along with a terrible voice?

QuoteDoomandGloom His mellow stage persona was all his own as he made his own way turning a pop band into a blues powerhouse. Yeah I hate those fluffy pop tunes like Sympathy for the Devil and Midnight Rambler they did before Taylor joined.

Jimmy Page is a great player, Bonham fantastic drummer, can't stand Plant's voice but the thing with Zep is they were plagiarists of the worst kind. Yes the Stones copied some riffs, copied the Staple Singers chorus in The Last time. But Led Zeppelin were into wholesale thievery both from past blues greats and contemporary artists alike. I lost a hell of allot of respect for them when I found it

He had many bum notes, didn't pay much attention to the rest of the band, (Pretty much like Jeff Beck...) and has certainly played much better, but it was very nice seeing him with the Stones again.

I was there last night and the only low of the night was Jeff Beck, way too loud and over the top, I thought Ronnie's and especially Keith's solos on the song were so much better and they much better received from the audience as well.

QuoteDuane in Houston The only thing that can save this thing, for me anyway, is to bring in Taylor and Wyman immediately for EVERY song for EVERY show. Am I crazy? Yes you are crazy, have you heard Taylor lately? he is absolute rubbish, much worse than Ronnie. I would not mind him doing a guest spot but on every song? now that would be a disaster.
Forum: Tell Me

Quotefrankotero I think it would be a perfect tune to alternate with Tumbling Dice in the setlist, it has the same swing to it. If Taylor does indeed guest on a song this one would be the logical choice.
