I can not believe that video of CYHMK. That was the real deal. never seen someone take over the stage from Jagger with Jagger still on it. Taylor siding up to DJ, then at 6:36 beautiful phrasing. Jagger was actually digging it! Pushing Taylor on, and for the first time saw Jagger and Keith share a laugh. the best moment since '89 for me!

I liked the song's performance, and have become a FF fan years ago. But it was..I don't know. Rubbed me a bit wrong. DG very obviously stayed away from Keith. In the Lemmy film he said some things about Keith. Don't know if the two have straightened it out since...The first time DG steps up to mike, you see Keith inching up; like checking on his song, his baby. Then seems to retreat; not pacifie

"Happy" has acquired this bizarre rhythm. And I mean 'bizarre' in the true sense of the word. It makes no sense to me the way it flows; has that '89 type of guitar-less glide. Where Keith is mainly just stretching the "Ba-a-aby" and "Ha-appy" words. A real guitar by Ron is needed. Would love to see Keith do something with some real sirloin in it. Like "Sure the

SG comes off like a much more finished project; even a product. But I have to take Exile over it. While I don't like the modernized lead vocal of "Following the River", I dislike the new "No Spare Parts" eve more. Because NSP already had been done, existed in near perfection; and was brought down.

Yes - "Rocks Off" (studio) comes close to being my favorite Stones track ever. There are many, but it is all perfect here: the horns, the tricky arrangement. But it has never IMO worked on stage. This is one cut that could have drastically benefited from a key change. the reason the lead vocal works so well in studio is that Jagger manages to infuse the song with much personality and

QuoteNoCode0680 I've been around many band message boards, and the behavior on all of them, including this one, is the same. The old "Complainers vs Non-Complainers" has been going on for AGES.

Look, I hate tribute bands; I mean - I loathe them. But these guys are easily the best ever. They actually make you laugh a bit. the Keith guy even has Keith's profile down. The Ron guy is just a LITTLE too good on guitar, but just a little. Nice wig. The Jagger is the only Jagger clone who doesn't bother me. But the best one IMO was Bill.

QuoteVoodooLounge13 Not to turn this into a political thread, but I do firmly believe that the drug companies here in the US are part of the controlling element really running the country.

I was just thinking about '89 tour while driving; and about the thread re. Charlie's drumming being boring now; no more ride cymbal. I think after '89 they learned a lot about the stadium shows. They must have wanted to bring the guitars back front, and get rid of excessive click-tracks (anyone recall 89 SFTD?) Now Charlie's hi-hat is the main meter on stage. So if he gets subtle, or plays ride,

Incredible version of "Satisfaction". Never thought that I would get goosebumps one more time watching the 2013 Stones. Taylor actually started out on far left, and then inserted himself smack in the middle of it all. His restrained playing was perfect; everyone solo-ed a bit. Looks like Keith was aware of how good it was. Even Jagger was more in the '69 version of himself. At ca 4:30

QuoteGlammy All his cymbals do sound like shit in my opinion. He uses china cymbals as a crash, thin ride cymbals (which are usually used in jazz combos) while he plays rock, and now he doesn't even play a proper ride cymbal anymore but uses a crash cymbal for that matter. All these odd choices doesn't make him sound better. Watching him play makes me sick. He's stiff, there is no swing or groove

It is very different than NMTB, i will say it this way:, NMTB is a punk classic, the Swindle is a time classic. Really took the words out of my mouth. It's a great release - it's just not the archetype Punk-Rock album that NMTB is.

It's the age of a Stones crowd. But more than that IMO it is the over-exposure to rock and pop music; the Net and I-Culture that tells us virtually everything at all times about anyone, that has taken any mystic and surprise out of the equation; made the crowds jaded. It has rendered the crowd comatose, when each audience member has seen the band 50 times, knows their life story and shoe-size; h
