The Rolling Stones-Never Stop (Start Me Up Demo)

[GordonMorrice]

Sounds like a simple song, the riff, the counterpunctive (or is it?) bass, pause, chorus, but Holy shit is this a hard tune to lick and keep the feeling! A lot of the Stones' stuff is brain-meltingly deceptively hard to play. Charlie's shit alone makes me look at a drum kit like it's the hydron fucking collider!

[oldhiway66]

Watch as Mick tells Bill, "Hey they're filming, live'in it up will ya?" Bill doesn't seem to care or catch on. Out of frustration, Mick gives a mocking face, with bug eyes right at 4:17

[decristo1021]

this is ok, but it pales next to the finished version. To me, Start Me Up is a distillation of the elements of the classic Stones sound. It always seemed to me like them giving the people exactly what they want. I never get tired of hearing it. I think this demo is too poppy, too bouncy...it's not choppy, and stuttered like the finsihed track....just my opinion

YOU WILL LOVE THIS TUNNIG,ONLY IF YOU ARE A TRUE ROLLING STONES FAN,GHOSTRYDER8567 CONGRATULATIONS FOR POSTING THIS JEWEL MY MAN!!!!!

[kanelitwiniec]

It's interesting and nice to hear that even the Rolling Stones don't just right a hit right out of the gate. Just like everything else, they start with something and keep refining it until they get the song they like. I prefer "Start Me Up", to this version.

[chokicou]

mick has the same blazer in "Harlem Shuffle" video. Bill was THE man. What a bass player...

[chokicou]

really love keith's outfit

[bobino9245]

Love this version. Its way more gritty. What I expect from the stones. By the way, who`s little boy is running around in this. Any of the band members?

[colonelkirtz]

charlie watts

[willprich]

[robielv]

Gotta love ol' Bill, just not the same since he left. Cool to see Mac (Ian McLagan) with the boys too.

[yankees1965]

That gentleman in the sweat pants and sweatshirt at 3:03, just happens to be the greatest drummer in Rock & Roll ~ Mr. Charlie Watts.

[nethaeleth]

[robin14669]

@crackernumber2 Keith considered Freddie as his second father. Milk bottles full of cocaine? Those were the days..

[lookylooky2006]

@Eldryzif

agree and he always seems uncomfortable onstage with it

[rula42]

ron wood always has something crazy in his look...

[varietystore]

is keith singing?

[snksone]

its hard to imagine gatorade being packaged in glass bottles lol

[lBStrokin]

Yea, Mick trying to keep Keith sober.  No easy task.

[wiecbb11]

interesting how keef starts to drink whiskey but then mick gives him a gatorade that they share.

[HengistTheGreat]

I think Mick looks after people better than he gets credit for...

[HengistTheGreat]

Love it.

[gittahfiend]

This should be Ron Woods theme music

when he walks down the street.

[heliopolis29]
