So in addition to nearly destroying The Rolling Stones, Mick Jagger's dreadful solo music seems to have put High Definition TV in a 20 year coma. Jump to about 1 minute mark:

Because his solos are a song unto themselves. Lyrical without words. Melodic without accompaniment. Rhythmic without a beat. Can't You Hear Me Knocking, Sway, Time Waits for No One, Winter. I bet I am not the only ones who have found themselves lost his solos. Thank you Mick.

YES!!!!! Nailed it.
Forum: Tell Me

YES! They slowed the tempo down so it doesn't sound like they just want to get it over with. It's hard to tell from the amateur video/audio, but Keith's tone is great! Very 1972. Sounds very analog and not processed through a million pedals/filters. I can smell the tubes heatin' up! I LIKE IT!!!

Thanks for posting that Tie You Up demo. It has a Slave vibe to it. But I can also see why Mick may have bored with the basic track. Their demos with scratch lyrics from the era all sound the same to me. Too bad Mick chose to go with production trickery and faster tempo over better lyrics/vocals. Just my opinion. Tie You Up is still one of my favorites off this not so great album. Undercov

I was trying to stick to the rockers for my list, but Undercover, how did I miss that! Good call. Next I will do mid-tempo and slow/ballad playlists. I urge others to consider these playlists and listen to these late-era songs outside the context of their classics. I was surprised how much I was rocking! I never felt that when most of these songs were initially released because "they w

Its interesting how Mick went from mostly singing about sex, drugs and rock and roll up to 1981 to lyrics that are mostly about doom, gloom, despair, hell, frustration and pain. Who does he think he is, Morrissey?
Forum: Tell Me

The quality of the Stones' output over the past 30 years is open to debate, but I spent some time creating a playlist that has been rocking my commute lately. It's kind of fun to imagine that the band formed in 1983 and try to forget all their classic songs. If that was the case, would you still be a fan of the band? I think I would. Anyway here is the list: Oh No Not You Again Under the Rada

And when everybody is kissing your ass, you start to believe you're a bit too precious. I sort of wish the Steel Wheels tour would have failed as bad as the album did. Perhaps we'd have a very different band today. It's my belief that Steel Wheels through Bridges to Babylon is just Jagger's solo career in disguise. Sorry for all the negativity. I do love the band, but my goodness times have be

It pains me to say she has some valid points. At least from my perspective as a fan since late 70s. And I dare say the band took this criticism to heart in the same way the learned from the punks in 1977. Bridges to Babylon was the last of the big vertical stage set ups, right? I know in 2005 their indoor stage was bare bones and the show was better for it.

I picked up How Music Works on a whim at the library and am pleasantly surprised. It has a ton of info on the music industry (record companies, labels promoters, studios, etc). After reading Byrne's book, I feel like I better understand how and why the Stones went "Vegas" beginning in 1989. Makes me think it was needed to pay back CBS Records when the Stones failed to deliver album

This sounds a bit like Emotional Rescue sped up or Letterman's house band jamming. Doesn't sound like the Stones at all to me. Mick must have been off growing his beard.

You know, I never really took the Stones' forays into reggae seriously. In the same way they sent up country with Faraway Eyes, they were just having a laugh. Cherry Oh Baby probably should have been kept off Black and Blue, but oh well. At least they helped introduce me to Bob Marley, Peter Tosh, Jimmy Cliff, Sly and Robbie, etc... Poor Charlie and Bill can't escape their umm... non Jamaic

Just learned this is a cover. I never paid attention to songwriting credits for this song. I always assumed this was something Keith wrote in a ganja haze or just a casual reggae jam they recorded with scratch lyrics that were good enough.

Happy to share mops. In 1988 Marr spent some time with Keith Richards. According to Marr, "That was a fantastic experience because I was so young (24), and he was so gracious and encouraging and quite philosophical, too. That was a very private and quite intense period of about a week. It was an incredibly generous thing that he did, because for 30 years he's had skinny little guitar pla
