But to see him shining and having fun as a guitarist on stage, that's great, but something completely different. Gotta say that I kind of agree with you, to a certain extent.

Back to undercover! Remember buying the LP in LA and not being able to listen to it until I was back in Italy a month later. Quite frustrating! The only thing that I don't like is the flow of the songs. The last 3 in particular individually are great, but having a more traditional sound all grouped up at he end always seemed out of contexts. But it's details. This is an album with hu

Never liked the idea of guest spots in general. But if you have to have them, let the guest be himself, otherwise don't call him. I mean, what's the use in asking Clapton or Lady Gaga or god knows who to guest if they are not allowed to do their thing? FF are not exactly my cup of tea, but who cares: Dave Grohl seems to be a nice guy. In his autobiography Stewart Copeland former drummer of

Best version is the studio. Close second the best 75 versions (LYL is one of them) - wild! Of the rest of the world, interesting how the song developed during the 69 tour. I like the first idea (Hyde Park). Ya Ya's version is, of course great (but the energy is not close to the 75 version, I think mainly because in 69 devil was too early in the set while in 75 it was the grand finale) Since

Most of the posts above miss the point I was trying to make. No argument will ever convince me that the 72/73 verion of the band was "musically" better (or worse) than the band that followed.

There is a sort of general consensus that MT's years with the Stones were the golden era of the band. If you ask me, if there ever was a golden era, it started with Satisfaction and ended with the death of Brian Jones. Actually the Hyde park concert sealed the end of the Golden era and the beginning of the Vegas Era. This has nothing to do with the musical consistency of the band. All the

I'm happy MT was asked to play Satisfaction and not Expectation. Satisfaction is now developed in a sort of guitar jam, and allows more space to MT's improvisation. The solo on Expectation needs to be CONCISE, otherwise the song is dead. Sort of like flooding a pasta with too much sauce. I am sure that MT can be concise, but what's the use of burning his second slot with only a few seconds of

OK, fair enough, it ain't exactly fluid or melodic, but I truly love this solo. It has something. The tone, the dissonances, it just sticks in my mind. Usually I get around it playing some odd solo in b major pentatonic, but every time I do so, something is missing! So yesterday I tried to understand what to do.
