Time Waits For No One - Rolling Stones

[Yellow4494]

I love this beautiful song by my favorite band.

[Malachy896]

This song stands the test of time ~ MPJ ~ Glimmer Twin ~

[tony196728]

mick taylor is pretty fucken good

[beantownbig3]

@tony196728 replace the word "good" with "great" and get rid of the word "pretty" and that statement is more truthful :)

[MrZeldalove]

Eric Clapton aside. I've rarely heard anyone put his heart and soul into an electric guitar like Mick T. does on "Time Waits For No One".

[MrZeldalove]

John Mayall brought forth a lot of great lead guitarists.

[audiojim2hank]

Mick was a fabulous guitar player but his decision to leave the Stones showed absolute total lack of vision. He must still be kicking himself in the ass over that move! I know he made Ronnie Wood a happy man!

[jbstonesfan]

Underrated? You think? Mick T was the greatest

Lead player of his generation . His leads and

Keith's rhythm were the greatest combo in

rock. Listen to some of 69-73 boots and you

will hear Mick T play lead with more agility

and style than ant of the popular guitar heroes

of that time.

[MrZeldalove]

@jbstonesfan I totally agree. Mick T and Kieth were great together.

[kpzrocks]

Mick Taylor is a true genius in this song. What a shame he is no longer with them. An underrated guitarist.

[MrZeldalove]

Wonder how Mick Taylor got his guitar sound.?

[Edsdesk]

@MrZeldalove Years spent with John Mayall years before the Stones.

[musikaNeues]

@MrZeldalove direct cable into a SVT Ampeg bass amp. He used SGs, Les Pauls, & a slew of acoustics. Mick in concert.... you had to be there!! His ability to endlessly spin melodic lines just put a crowd into a trance.

So much going on in this song, you can listen a million times & still hear more, old blues 6th holding back holding back then finally the sublime tonic... raggedy piano, Jagger's leathery voice, the jazz drums & the block's ticking clock , guitar layers....

genius.

[tony196728]

great song best stones song ever

[Yellow4494]

Mick Jagger has just outstanding vocal abilities. I'm always amazed.

[MrZeldalove]

@Yellow4494 Yeah, Mick Jagger helped to make "Time Waits For No One" happen.

[Yellow4494]

@MrZeldalove Sorry, took me a minute to understand your odd, sarcastic remark. Mick Jagger is actually pretty underrated. Lots of people just talk about how "girly" he supposedly is. I'm sorry I didn't mention Mick Taylor or Eric Clapton in my original comment. How foolish of me to mention the lead vocals.

[MrZeldalove]

@MrZeldalove Wasn't being sarcastic. Mick Jagger is great in this song.

[karlmoles65]

5.44 after that it's godly

[Yellow4494]

@karlmoles65 AGREED. I'd also say the piano glistenings beginning at 5:26 are gorgeous. I could just listen to the last 2 minutes of this song and be satisfied but the whole thing is a masterpiece.

[karlmoles65]

One of the most awesome outros I've ever heard

[glimmertwinsproduct]

Time can tear down a building, or destroy a womans face. Hours are like diamonds,don't let em waste!!

[bakula1976]

I love this song! This is the music I grew up on.

[Patsyjo37]

Mick Taylor makes the song ... Very tasteful guitar solo

[MegaAndreNo]

Parfaite maitrise de son art

[Gruntol5]

Mick Taylor, Nicky Hopkins, all of them - thanks a million. This is a "once in a lifetime" recording that will go down in rock history. One of those pinnacles in music that stands above nearly all others.

[muzi5150]

So beautiful and chilling at the same time.

[Yellow4494]

I listened to this song for literally like 4 days straight. It's like a drug.

[jkallboys]

@Yellow4494 listen to sax and violins by the talking heads...same thing

[MrZeldalove]

@Yellow4494 Yeah, "Time Waits For No One" just stays in your mind for days.

[leela1970]

this is my fave rolling stones song.....something about it is so haunting....i get quite nostalgic.

[makalavena]

does anyone know what kind of effect mick taylor is using on his solo?

[Yellow4494]

Just listen to that damn piano. My god I'm in love.

[Yellow4494]

Every time I hear a Stones song it's a little different than the last version, but it's always simply incredible. This song is ominous, beautiful, deep, relaxing, eerie, and wonderful.

[TheMaz1964]

today most of the women on the cover are either dead or in nursing homes and some of the little girls are grandmothers . time waits for no one .

[TheMaz1964]

the saddest song i ever loved

[beantownbig3]

a synthesizer on a Stones song?? wow...that's pretty interesting and it sounds cool!

[brandonlace]

@beantownbig3 they used them on "Their Satanic Majesties Request" as well.

[zosimfr]

@beantownbig3 -just fantastic

[sprophetelijah]

2013 is the end for the USA 4 nukes, The UAE will kill us then, see the will of God, and he is the wolf dressed in sheeps clothes see the truth, we all heard of it

[Henry8544]

This is one of The Stones' best songs they ever recorded. The first time I heard it, I had to hear it again and again.

[Yellow4494]

@Henry8544 I heard it today on the radio, with a long piano solo, and when I got home I listened to it. That was hours ago, and I'm still listening to it.

[guitaristz1]

I would rather have spent my life with True Luv than in Misery

SomeOne that gave me the Sparkle ..Stars

Best Guitar Solo

Luv u Birdie Boy

[HealthRecordsGroup]

Anyone else hear the beginning as a heartbeat?

[newday0531]

@HealthRecordsGroup .....and the end.

[probrojeffro]

How classic, how perect a song.

[VoodooPolitico]

TOM WAITS FOR EVERYONE!!!

[JohnGrant2011]

I read somewhere the Stones have never done this song live. Its a really good tune. I heard Mick Taylor wasn't given songwriting credit for this track, too. It was one of the nails in the coffin before exiting the band in 1974.

[lynlarouche]

Very polished for a stones song: That's what distinguishes this gem from the rest of their catalog.

[juscurious]

Mick Taylor's guitar solo on this tune is one of the best in rock and roll. I'm not a guitarist so I'm not sure it's the most difficult to play (maybe one of you guitarist can say) but it's the most beautiful guitar solo I think I've ever heard.

[bearvsbeargrylls]

@juscurious the thing about the blues is it's not about how technical you can be or how fast you can play your scales it's about how you use your guitar as an extension of yourself to express how you feel. In this song just like so many others he played on mick taylor does an unbelieveable job at that. it's just a shame that my generation has all this great music at their disposal and yet they couldn't be more put off by it.

[Yellow4494]

@bearvsbeargrylls I agree. Give me Stones and Beatles and classic rock and 70's ANY day over Gaga, Bieber, Perry and all that pointles, meaningless crap that people call music.

[bustballz]

this song is not only the best Stones song, it could very well be one of the best pieces of music ever recoreded.

An absolute gem,.....timeless, haunting.

[rickring81]

@bustballz yes it could

[LarryRickenbacker]

Mick Taylor can play a Gmaj scale so beautifully. Lovely song; kind of a Latin feel..

[SuperMegaUberGenius]

priceless

don't hold me back son

[matt605]

I understood this ablum cover after learning that The Beatles were done in by fans' interest in the John-Paul conflict over who was leader of the group.

It's only rock and roll, but I like it.

[Malachy896]

GLIMMER TWINS @ OUR BEST MPJ :)~

[bustballz]

one of the stones best...we miss you mick taylor so much.

[purpleskycalm]

Mick Taylor, ...... right before the days of desperation when Ron Wood joined them

[tritone12]

favorite stones tune. nothing else even close.

truly a masterpiece.

[sgontz1]

anyway, could play this stuff all day. love the guitars.



[hswatnik]
