The Rolling Stones-Still A Fool

[wincanton2]

The slide guitar here is by Brian Jones, another great performance akin with No Expectations..

[modsoul49]

Must be Nicky Hopkins on keyboard, this is not Ian Stewart´s kind of stuff.

[langfordjay]

@southwriter.. get a life.. who the fuck ae you to judge me, you worthless piece of shit..wasting my life.. ha ive made more of my young life than you ever will and i enjoy doing cocaine and listeninv to the stones from time to time...

[tubesteakbooky]

Mick's best Muddy impression.

[MrJsmyers]

This is Brian on slide.....there is no other credit saying he was not on this track.

[RodRollingStone]

Great version, a true Stones blues classic from 1968 and never released, even to this day it remains a bootleg. Great slide and harmonica and the keyboards are nice and bluesy too, must be Ian Stewart? Jagger's vocals are suitably menacing and strident but low and soulful when needed, he nailed it.

[imaStonesFan]

@RodRollingStone Thank you!!! Love it :)

[JoshSwartzberg]

If you know stones and 60's music then you'd know it's Brian.

[MrJsmyers]

@JoshSwartzberg Word!

[Spiderrico123]

definitely Brian... he was the best british slide guitarist of the 60s by far

[mybrucespringsteen]

hadn't heard this in yars & yars, thanks fir the tipoff kaybee

[langfordjay]

 nothing like a good fat line and some cool smooth stones on a thursday night in which work dont follow... hows about a thumbs up to that!

[southwriter]

@langfordjay Yeah, nothing like wasting your life away doing cocaine.

Originally called Two Train Blues bought this on a Double Vinyl Boot about 25 years ago. Down in the Bottom - High Heeled Sneekers, alot of great songs that were really rare and obscure at that time were on that boot, most likely recorded at Chess.

[sakalan]

It's Brian on slide playing it Elmore style, one of his idols. Not the same style as his riff on Little red rooster or I cant be satisfied.

[rubyrose456]

....back into the blues.........thanks a lot for the tunes, I love 'em, for sure!

[rockhi66]

The slide guitar here was played by Brian Jones.

[aaronmonkeylover]

@rockhi66 Are you sure? Ry Cooder use to help the Stones out a lot with the slide guitar.

[rockhi66]

@aaronmonkeylover In 1968 Jones was still playing with the band (see "The Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus" December 1968, this song should be June '68).

Mainly, the slide sound looks Jones' style e.g. "Little Red Rooster", "No Expectation".

Cooder's style is different e.g. "Sister Morphine", "Memo From Turner" (The Very Best Of Mick Jagger's version).

[italianforu1]

this is a cool version of this song, the original from muddy is better, but was banned from youtube on copyright grounds. greedy assholes!!!!!!

[Goagapper]

i ahve the stones-bootleg where this song is recorded, but i´ve forgot the name and have no time to look for it now

[lewisdeb1]

I believe it comes from the Jamming with Edward Sessions. i don't think its the Sones

[robin14669]

@lewisdeb1 Yes, this is The Stones playing, around June 1968. They recorded a whole bunch of various songs in 1968. Brian is playing slide.

[aaronmonkeylover]

@robin14669 sure it wasn't good ole Ry Cooder? He was a session player for the Stones. According to Ian Stewart, the last real thing that Brian did for the Stones was Ruby Tueday ( 67). He was so out of his skull after the busts that he didn't do much but show up. I guess it depends on what interview you read.

[sakalan]

@aaronmonkeylover No its not Ry. Ry's main contributions were huge and underrated but has more to do with his riffs and style. Keith ripped a lot from him.

[b3n2p1]

it's not ry cooder's style at all.he played on Sister Morphine,and his slide doesn't sound anything like this.Even assuming how young he would be,listen to Feeling Bad Blues.it's not him.

[aaronmonkeylover]

@b3n2p1 ry cooder played slide on the Let It Bleed album. Look at the credits.

[romibluesmotel]

exelente,hermoso tema,increibles fotos....

[wincanton2]

It Brian on slide all the way, one of the best..........

[ElmoLewiss]

im tempted to say its brian but, its not, because in 1968 brian couldnt play a note, you people fail to realize that, he was gone ok, he was a vegetable, he even had to take guitar lessons, its not keith either, that leaves ry cooder who can cop anyone's style, and here he is copping brian's style, have a nice day.

[devinmillermedia]

@ElmoLewiss That is simply not true about Brian ... He could still play, I think you have read too many rock biographies ... Having been friends of folks who have been in rock biographies and press (etc.) I can tell you much of what you read is hyperbole.

[ElmoLewiss]

@devinmillermedia i didnt read it, it came out of jagger's mouth in an interview, its no secret.

[neverindoubt]

@devinmillermedia "hyperbole", a polite way of saying "B U L S H I T". Actually, most of what we read in the paper or see on TV is "hyperbole".

[lewars1912]

@devinmillermedia  I've also been friends of those folk. So has him over there.

[Fpili125]

Definitely Brian. Just listen to Little Red Rooster 1964, it's the same style. Great song.

[rollingstones2011]

Great song and job !

[peithkichard]

defenitely brian on slide

[steveconn]

This is Surrey, March '68. Could be Brian, but Cooder was around by then, so who knows...

[MrRocker04]

Believe me, it's Brian. Listen to the accents. Same used on the Rock 'n roll circus version of "No Expectations".

[pabloplacenti]

[MadderRoseRulz]

This piece is also named as "Two Train Blues" on "The Trident Mixes/Demos" bootleg vinyls...Awesome.

[metyuewb]

Sucks

[MemphisBlueAgain]

Thick and raw, just like they used to be.

[wammzy]

[paolomanueldec]

He plays some minor chords, so it cn't be Stew.
