Soul Survivor ( Alternate Take ) Rolling Stones

[peterquillo]

raw voice. absolutely superb guitar. awesome pure music

[GuitarCoverForMyself]

etcetera, etcetera

[Trace76er]

Is it just me?Do I hear a little early Bob Dylan in Keith's voice?

[GuitarCoverForMyself]

@Trace76er thats lou reed i think:)

[Trace76er]

@GuitarCoverForMyself Come to think of it,you may be right!

[nomadtraveller100]

Like the rawness of this and Keiths voice! Thanks for this.

[EvilAnticsLive]

What the fuck is a Young Jeezy?

[elleng222]

Interesting. Obviously Keith is playing around here with the vocals, lyrics, etc. but I do like the sound of this version better. Much funkier, Charlie sounds great and Nicky Hopkins sounds even better on this, especially at the end. Much less clutter, no backup singers here. I really like it.

[Cthulhugoat]

good ol' keef, doing his best imitation of Lou Reed

[WaldoJeffers25]

@Cthulhugoat there's something there, yes!

[wellergilardino9]

Love this.

[yappapie]

Both versions are great!

[loht773]

Keith Rules!

[Richards67]

In my idea, this vocals are actually a plain joke. Not 'cause they're not good or something, but more of a demo or something alike.

The final part saying "etcetera etcetera" is a pretty nice clue of the actual try of this. Maybe jagger wasn't around, or keef wanna just do some for a change.

@Richards67 raggedly beautiful...whether it's Mick or Keith singing..it's the Rolling Stones at their zenith....

[305bigdad]

Charlie's a beast!

[niggaT42000]

LOVE BILL WYMAN'S BASS PLAYING

[JimBowie1133]

Love Keef's voice

[chriskellyart]

Hate to be contrary to most of the comments here but Keith obviously realized he had half a track before Jagger added his lyrics and vocals. I love Keith to death but the original Soul Survivor is quiet close to being their greatest track ever and this alternate version is only half way to being there.

[305bigdad]

@chriskellyart This version is a lot of fun, but I agree with you. The lyrics are better on the original too. But I'm happy to hear these alternate tracks. Hope they keep letting them out.

[Staggerbaroque]

@chriskellyart Agree. This is a work in progress, more of a fan curiosity than anything else. The finished version is far superior.

[socalmax]

Gotta' love Keef. The ultimate "Soul Survivor."

[matias1962]

Ear the two versions at the Same Time! It is difficult to accommodate the two batteries in the same time, try it;)

[cherrybomb2600]

it gets better each time i hear it! fuckin A, man!

[NYCWOLVERINE]

The version with Mick Jagger singing is way better, since he's got a way better voice and much more polished style. Including the original lyrics are sick.

However, this version with Keith Richards is great too. Especially when he says "I just can't fuck it."

[vicmal2112]

@NYCWOLVERINE Micks version is ok, i've listened to a lot, but this so far better because it sounds so bluesy, loose and Keith is just rocking the song!

[TheDenny2]

This how it SHOULD sound, not the commercialized slickness of the album one, great as it is-this is the real soul survivor aka Keith Richards...

[MrSuedehead72]

excellente version chanté par keith richard!!! génial!!!!!

[Paulinkebink]

de melodie qua zang is dan van Jagger, ze vullen elkaar goed aan.

[kcuhcsniknej]

just makes me wonder how much more material, how many half written songs are there from these guys??

[Mrjjflash1]

@kcuhcsniknej Probably would boggle our minds if we knew !

[1955Bradpitt]

LOve Keith , but come on !!!!!

[sydferret]

yeah, i prefer this one.

[hotrod2c]

damn! this song is cool as hell. I had no idea keith had his own lyrics to this song

[cherrybomb2600]

this is so great!!!

it kicks so much ass! my fave song off Exile!

it makes me high!

i can't stop listening. I love Keith so hard.

[MrSuedehead72]

@cherrybomb2600 yes!! you're right , its the most great song for the classical exile and this keith 's version is absolutly great!!!!with "torn and frayed"!!! clément the dreamer...

[FORDCOUNTRY7885]

Heroin.... what a helluva drug. Hard to believe Keith is still standing. And I doubt he was when he recorded that vocal.

[cherrybomb2600]

@FORDCOUNTRY7885 w/e gets him/ you thru the night. a lot of musicians are better intoxicated.
