The Rolling Stones have often been the soundtrack to every crazy journey in my life...what a ride, to Hell n back and everywhere in between! You cant f*** with perfection...
Ever hear this on a 5K watt surround sound disco floor? Feels like you've just did a tablespoone of coke and your head's about ot explode... Outrageous fun.
this is all the proof ya need, that keith is by far one of the best rhythm players to come down the pike..(just ask Jimmy page). hell, 95 percent of todays "supposed" Guitar Gods cant play rhythm at all.sad really.
@stevebeagle - Yes!!! Actually, I believe Keith is the best rhythm guitarist I've ever heard. I saw him live in 1979. Folks, Keith is way, way, way better than people say he is. Mick Taylor was great, true. Keith could match him note for note. NOBODY can lay down a riff like Keef Riffhard. Just my opinion.
It may be. Not sure. Never looked it up. I would have no idea ow to tell you how to pull it up on youtube. Just try Chuck Berry/Keith Richards. Good luck yo you! Rock on!!!
My best memory of this tune- December 1989 in the Pontiac Silver Dome...Steel Wheels tour. The weed smoke was so thick you couldn't see.
Mick was belting this out as his microphone-free hand was running up and down the thigh of the back up girl singing behind him...while large phalic symbols inflated on both sides of the stage...what a night...
There's nothing to quarrel about from my point of view! "Music is the most erotic of all Fine Arts" and besides there's 'political correctness' as Americans call it and Russians call it 'good manners'. It's like a discussion about love: the more minds, the more sentiments!
@prober45 And you write this to me, why, exactly? What drives you to defend your beliefs about the Rolling Stones? Surely, if you're confident in their skill as musicians, you would lack the need to argue and defend them.
@TruthAxe well, everyone but you seem to know they're the greatest rock and roll band in the world. They've earned the title... so why must you drop by and mouth off about one of their songs? Go back to Abba's videos, where you belong
@prober45 Ah, I see. So your argument is "everyone else says ... so that's why I follow the crowd." In short, lacking any musical training or discerning ear except one made of tin, you're going along with the crowd.
I guess that'll keep you from getting beaten up in life, but that isn't going to make right, prober45.
@TruthAxe actually, TA if you want to know the truth I have plenty of musical training. I'm a songwriter, a pianist and a father to a very talented musician son. But, the fact is... just because the majority of the world loves the Stones doesn't make us sheep... I would think you might fall more in that category. You know, people who feel the need to ridicule something good... simply because they are BAAAAAAD at critiquing! lmao
You amuse, @prober45. So drive around with a bumper sticker "Proud parent of an ordinary child but we believe him to be extraordinary"?
Exactly how is my critique bad that the Stones work even with a couple hack guitarists -- which the entire world of learned guitarists would agree -- and a crappy singer -- again, all true voice-as-instrument vocalists would agree?
What is bad? Is it the truth-telling on how mediocre the Richards and Wood are as guitarists or Mick as a singer?
@TruthAxe tell ya what, if you can even play a guitar... I challenge you to try and play this song or anything pretty much that Richards does. And do it in the same scale.... he has a little secret, amongst only that which REAL guitarists would know and I bet you don't fall in that category. Vocals are something that people differ on... depending on what you like. I mean you could say Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, Johnny Cash and many many others can''t sing but they've sure made a fine livin
Man up. Say "I like the Rolling Stones. I matters not that the guitarists are hacks or the singer can't sing. It works for me."
Billions served enjoy the mediocre food of McDonalds. Such popularity does not elevate the culinary standing of such hack food. However such food works for many.
So too is it with the Stones.
Preferences are fine. Living is built on preference. Preference is not truth of skill, however.
@TruthAxe lookit asswhole, I'm a Texan we talk funny alright? You? Talk about "manning up" jeez... admit it, you're one of those trolls that hasn't a clue what real music is yet you get your rocks off slamming those of us who do! Whatever floats your little boat
@TruthAxe nah, really you're too void of intelligence AND musical knowledge to waste anymore time with... frankly my dear clueless troll... you bore me. Pretty sure I can speak for the masses there. Yes, we are Stones fans here. We know great stuff when we hear it!
You amuse, @prober45. Again! "too void of ..., " as opposed to what, can someone be partially void? In what alternate reality do you live that there are degrees of void?
Keep amusing thogh, prober45.
Keep living in the long ago past, listening to old fogies' music. Dance Little Sister is 37 years old. When the Stones released it, Bill Haley's Rock Around the Clock , a mere 19 years old.
love the stones. this one i just flipped on because my lady is about to go out the door to her dance studio. there she goes...looking back at me with a big smile. ha ha!
I recall an old Jimmy Page interview, late '70s, after Keith had been busted in Toronto for possession of heroin "for purposes of trafficking", no less, 'cause the Mounties found a whole ounce. Page was asked about it, & said: "Just listen to Dance Little Sister, & you can forgive that guy (Keith) for anything."
Of course, Jimmy was a junkie back then too, but had been able to keep the fact mostly quiet.
@prober45 It's the sound!! The Guitar tone, it is addictive!! I could be wrong, but it sounds like vintage open tuning with 5 string(low E dropped) open G perhaps, I don't know, I'll have to figure it out!! Peace Brother!!
Steel Wheels Tour...Pontiac Silver Dome, November(?) 1989...Mick sang this with hand on the upper-frontal thigh of the background dancer/singer/whatever she was
standing behind him...kind of a "Reach Back". The pot smoke was so thick in the row in back of us...or was it the row in front?
31-24. Utah St. Jesus. But I gave my word today, and I intend on keeping it. My best and only friend deserves that. Before I really do bend things over. Give me a reason, and do not use religion.
YE KNOW....IM THE BIGGEST STONES FAN...AND I KEEP FORGETTING THE DIFFERENT VARIETY OF MUSIC THE STONES HAVE DONE THROUGH THE YEARS....AND , TO ME, THIS IS IN THE MIDDLE OF THERE JOURNEY.......
@Mistake4AHeartbeat Nuh uh I'm the biggest Stones fan! How many cd's do you have? I have 4 lol BUT THAT DONT MEAN A THING I'M STILL THE BIGGEST STONES FAN AND MICK JAGGER'S MISTRESS.
actually, Ronnie Wood was working with the Stones partially during the recording of It's Only Rock and Roll, he was full time when they did Black and Blue. Actually listening to it, this sounds more Woody than Mick Taylor...but who knows..
Positively blistering slide guitar from Mick Taylor, arguably some of the choicest to ever fly from his golden fingers. A superb complement to Keith Richards' deliciously dirty riffing.
@joev872000 without a doubt, i agree that it's got to be MT...lead guitar phrasings here remind one of his solo/fills on "dead flowers"...his signal is a bit more processed here and he sped it up somewhat. he went for a similar sound on the "heavy tune" session he later did with the band "gong"...there's a real powerful example of taylor's brilliance, too. if anyone reading this is fond of taylor's work and has not heard that piece...i highly recommend it.
