@fisheatsteel Mick Taylor on bass in this song. The more I hear "It's Only Rock and Roll", the more I want to punch Jagger/Richards in the cock for letting him leave the band.
Just keep the SIS out of sight...because they are taking pictures of the ultra violet light...and, I can say that such technology exists today....Patriot Act and all.
@beantownbig3 Bill Wyman didn't play bass on this track--Mick Taylor did. Bill played some synthesizer licks, though. Some of the Stones' best bass lines were played by either Keith ("Live With Me") or Mick Taylor (several tracks on Exile on Main St.).
@dougliness oh ok thanks for clearing that up. i knew Mick Taylor occasionally played bass on Stones tracks, but i didn't know he played bass on this track.
Totally agree with 'underrated song' comment. imho Undercover also falls in to that category. I've seen the Stones almost every show they've played in the D/FW area since 1975. Great band and shows. Their ticket prices are high but they always have two or three support acts who usually headline their own shows. Stones openers I've seen live include the Eagles, ZZ Top, Living Color, Fabulous Thunderbirds, Trapeze, Montrose and other greats.
Seriously one of the Stones' coolest tracks... It belongs in the same category as all their other 'coked-out' classics... Like SLAVE and TOO MUCH BLOOD and MONKEY MAN and SYMPATHY FOR THE DEVIL and GIMME SHELTER...
TruthAxe you moron. This is one of their best songs, playing the blues they love. I cringe at Jagger bleating "Angie", I go "what htef" at "Miss You", their "disco" phase. They were the Donald Trumps of yesteryear, like Madonna, ingenious marketers and self promoters. But their live shows were electrifying. And some of their songs were great. Like this one.
@scientististheshit This is from the guy listening to Emerson Lake and Palmer. Too funny....tell us scientist...how do we reach your exalted level? Your taste is simply impeccable!
suprised science guy hasnt gone american phsyco on this day n age of poprock bullshit if he thinks "some girls" is crap ...what did he think of every top 40 release since "hip to be square" from huey lewis ?
What the hell are you talking about?? Some Girls is one of the great albums of the Stones' entire catalog. Tattoo You? The entire A side is classic. Then you got Black Limousine and Waiting on a Friend. And if you really want to dig deep, Hot Stuff, Memory Motel and Hand of Fate are all great songs, but on an overlooked album.
Name one good song after this? Who is this idiot. Memory Motel, Fool to Cry, Hot Stuff, Miss You, Shattered, Beast of Burden, Far Away Eyes, Just My Imagination, Some Girls, Hang Fire, Worried About You, Slave, Black Limousine, No Use In Crying, Heaven, Waiting on a Friend, Undercover of the Night, All The Way Down, Feel on Baby, Emotional Rescue, She's so Cold, All about You, Dance, (pts. 1 and 2), Indian Girl, I think I'm going Mad, Everything's turning to Gold.
well mr.know it all name one good tune after this album,it's all shit after this,they are living on their past fame,besides i know more about rock and roll,you should be ashamed of the videos you post,pure pop crap!
I DEDICATE this here song to ALL the women who support pathetic and LAZY pieces of shit like MyMadra who REFUSE to get up off their lazy asses and find employment! To you my Sisters, cheers! ;o) *waves*
EVERYBODY KEEP ME DOWN; KEEP ME RUNNING! KNOW MY RULES WAY AHEAD OF TIME; LISTENING TO ME ON YOUR SATELLITE! FUCK THE GOVERNMENT! SOME LITTLE JERK IN THE FBI KEEPING PAPERS ON ME, IT BRINGS ME DOWN!
@wkg55 actually it was none of the designated Stones, it was Willie Weeks. Bill Wyman in on the Synthesizer and Keith on pedal. No Mick Taylor on this track, which makes sense since he was pretty much out of the picture when they recorded It's Only Rock and Roll.
I agree. This is an underrated Stones song. Gotta like that atmospheric 70s vibe. It sort of reminds me of another unsung gem, The Disco Strangler, by the Eagles. Both should be acknowledged classics imo.
Actually, I wouldn`t be surprised if the FBI were keeping a file on Jagger given the extensive files they kept on other prominent public figures eg Lennon, Marylin Monroe, MLK, Elvis, Sinatra, Sonny Liston, Abbie Hoffman, Michael Jackson etc
@billyjo1881 they were there then...That's what it's ABOUT !!! It's just a common falacy to believe anyone "Won the War" or won anything in the sixties...Everyone was lucky to escape without brain damage...or a good heroin addiction...or both.
It's my favorite of their later stuff (as opposed to early sixties.) I was at the It's Only Rock & Roll tour! OMG, there was 100,000 people there & it was the wildest time of my life.
BLBetty, You're so in tune. Cathy OBrien's book Trance Formation tells it all. Mick, Lennon, and the following pop generations keep it rolling, maybe unknowingly. She predicted VA tech shootings because of the nearby underground trauma lab. Good call BLB. you're my kinda girl..
Look in the mirror. We brought this on ourself, by our greedy, selfish ways. We only care about our little egoes, no sense of national purpose. The immigrant will take over.
Oh, am I to assume that the current (thankfully) at death's door government were not responsible for the unprecedented, whole-scale spying on anyone and everyone???
Brilliant! This track epitomises everything the current American regime stands for. They will go down in history as the government which brought about the fall of the United States.
