enjoy  :)



One of the few Stones songs I like (2nd only to "Under My Thumb" which is #1 because it is about women knowing their place)

Agreed.  Most of their songs leave me cold.  "Satisfaction"...oh, brother.  ::)

  What the hell was wrong with Keith's guitar on that song? It sounds like a busted vacuum.

  • Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do.
Paint it black, aka The theme song for Tour of Duty, is the only thing I heard from them that I think is genuinly good and rocks.

Terrible and WAY overrated band. Keith is truly a hack player and Mick is a prancing nancy. Oh, and nice drummer.

Yes! Great old song. I love the tripped out way it begins.

There's a certain version out there in file sharing software, it's from 1973 and it's live.  It has MicK Taylor on lead (the guy who came after Brian Jones and before Ronnie Wood).  Unbelievable sound.  This one version is what influenced all the heavy metal guitar style that came afterward from other bands.  It's almost impossible to believe it's a Stones song when you're listening to it.

Agree. I can listen to this song for hours, and hear something new every time. From the edgy violent/call for peace lyrics to Merry's sublime vocals. Just brilliant. This was the Stones at their louchest, their most swaggering, the most hide-your-daughters-away best.
