QuoteMunichhilton Drums were a bit loud...? Listen, Mick is currently steering the ship through the icebergs... Have you HEARD the drums on Doom & Gloom? Haha, yes. Mick also said in '81 or '82, regarding Michael Jackson selling concert tix for over $20, "you just don't DO that" :-) But the drums on the Talk is Cheap rockers are in your face, imo.

Will always love it. But I agree with Jagger's assessment when asked: "I thought the drums were a bit loud. Alot of it was NICE" (emphasis Mick's). I guess Keith wanted a changup from Charlie's sound, which is fine, but they are mixed way up in general. Minor complaint.

QuoteMILKYWAY Which do you find more frivolous/unnecessary: Keith's singing on a song or two per album or Mick Jagger's guitar playing? Neither. I mean, sometimes, but rarely is it frivolous. I was initially annoyed when he played live on "sad sad sad", but it really does fill out the sound to make it more like the studio version, which is what they were aiming for. Same with &quo

You summed it up pretty well. But after seeing live clips of Taylor solo, sweet though it is, I don't know why anyone would have expected the "glory of '73". He's doing a better than expected job (for me), and should be utilized a bit more. But when he's playing, he ups the ante. Rambler has been stellar through the last decade, but he does lift it higher. Ronnie does the first sol

QuoteBärs MT seems to have trouble playing tight. He's often in front of the beat. I noticed this on the first night at O2, on Rambler. Way in front. Totally corrected it the second night, as if he realized it. Haven't listened to the recent versions, but someone should tell him if it's the case.

Quotesabata You can hear the MT's sound very well Holy hell, yes you can. I assume it wasn't that loud in the arena, cuz he's cuttin' through. And he's noodling high speed.

Maybe he's underrated by Keith Richards, who told Rolling Stone Mag in like '89 that his idea of torture was being locked in a room with a singing Daltry. Funny, but odd to say. Anyway, he's always been considered a great vocalist, I'm not sure you could call him underrated.

QuotePalace Revolution 2000 Way too many folks here completely ignore the albums before Banquet. I am not a judge here, but I honestly can not understand how someone can see himself as a big hard Stonesfreak, and not be aware of the early stuff. Undercover - great album btw.

QuoteShug Neil Young doesn't cater to his audience, he plays what he wants for whatever reasons and people still go see his shows because they know no matter what he plays, he's going to do it passionately. It can be done. This has come up in other threads, sorry for repeating, but Neil, Bob and Paul are solo acts. They have the luxury of being able to tell the band what they're going to play

Quotededospegajosos LIS is a new classic that should be played often It is a great song, but it always dragged live on the VL tour, they just couldn't replicate it or build on it.

QuoteMore Hot Rocks I never heard Blondies guitar with the Stones. I could never hear him live or on bootlegs. It's like he was never plugged in. That's his job, just fatten up the sound without really being heard.

Nice pics! OK, regarding Sway, good job guys, but slow that sucker down a bit. Sounds like Stray Cat Blues (not that there's anything wrong with that). When they did Sway in '03, the new tempo sort of made sense but with three guitars there now, that "bounce" makes the vocal rushed, as well as Taylor's solo.
