Rolling Stones-Sway

[juancortina64]

me gusta mucho ese principio de jagger , one , two, ect... como dejandose ir y luego la guitarra de Taylor

[88wildcat]

I agree that the Stones were at their peak when Taylor was in the band. However, I don't know how much of that was due to Taylor and how much of that was due to Jimmy Miller producing those albums. The Stones stopped working with Miller around the same time Taylor left.

[nicpier1985]

My daily musical vitamins in the morning!

[twinoak170]

The Stones at their best.

[kpzrocks]

When Mick Taylor decided that he needed to leave the the Stones he was only 25. He joined the band when he was 20. He said he couldn't handle the ego's. He was an unassuming musician who was with the band when they were at their best. Wasn't getting song writing credit where credit was due. I have read that the Rolling Stones cut him out of the royalties on the albums he played on in 1982. WTF???

Mick get an attorney and get your money!!!!!

[shelleyinthecity]

@kpzrocks Yup, many of the songs that are credited to being written by "Jagger / Richards", he had contributed to the song writing but didn't get credited.

[Kelly14UK]

Cleverly kept off the compilations to entice you to buy the brilliant Sticky Fingers.

[Weegeeisgoingtokillm]

this song sucks

[Michael1773196]

@Weegeeisgoingtokillm XD, that was sooo funny!!

[Weegeeisgoingtokillm]

@Michael1773196 It's called sarcasm btw.

[GlenDeanII]

@Weegeeisgoingtokillm You varry fonny indivijiro... ha ha ha....

[Weegeeisgoingtokillm]

@Weegeeisgoingtokillm /sarcasm

[kpzrocks]

Mick Taylor's Guitar work in this song is the Rolling Stones.... Nobody better;;;;;; A rock star...

[papablues050164]

My parents got me this LP along with John Lennon's Plastic Ono Band LP for Christmas when I was six. God only knows what they were thinking but I'm glad. That's one of the Stones best.

[oreokookie1000]

@papablues050164 kill your parents

[kpzrocks]

couldn't agree more 45spmindle. What a shame he is no longer with them.....

[nomadtraveller100]

one of my favorite all time songs. thanks my friend!

[blackflagdanny]

sang this with my best friend who died early saturday morning. i love you andy RIP

[nomadtraveller100]

this is one of my all time favorite stones songs. nice!

[jimmythecreep]

ty nuno...i always thought he sang..."it's just that demon wine that's got me in it's sway".

[jimmythecreep]

what is mick singing in the chorus of this tune???

[nuno22467]

@jimmythecreep «It's just that Demon life has got me in its sway». Enjoy! :)

[Freeskier475]

one of my top 5 favorite rolling stones songs. i love the last 50 seconds

[papafirelin]

I dont totally agree....actually my favourity Stones era was in those days....my favourite Stones album is Sticky fingers..I can say that I know all their material...but...but...my favourite era...is the early 70s era.....and Mick Taylor was the soul

[TinChoo222]

apleno amor con mi podotita :P

[dyedinsoul]

long drives .......... best scenery to hear this with. a pitch black sky with every star imaginable in plain sight. my favorite stage

[jazzyx828]

Talk about memories....I could listen all day and yes I'm pretty sure it is Nicky on keys

[cgraber]

@jazzyx828 yeah man, that is Nicky. The underated force behind Exile and Sticky Fingers

[MrJerryw08]

I love this song.

[Monkeyfurshur]

Damn, this brings back good memories.

[Trendmunger]

My favourite stones song.

[wudake]

FUUUUUUG... this is my all time favorite Rolling Stones song. I can listen to it 10 times per day

[bwh177]

Absolutely a groove and one of my Stone all-time favs. Always thought the recording on this was a bit muddy. Mick Taylor just never got just desserts. Keith Richard couldn't play that orgasmic ending-solo with a gun held to his head.

[crazycatlady68]

I'm pretty sure that's Nicky Hopkins on piano..brilliant work from everyone..MT is stunning as usual.

[rockerantsch]

1 Asshole

[AlexWolfking]

this last solo is so touching, and his the one how made want to play the guitar....

[corgi37]

This is my funeral song

[MrJerryw08]

Keeeef and Taylor rule.

[Mrstoid]

one of the best solos done Mick Taylor is so smooth and just feels his music, what a talent that sometimes may have been overlooked, just listen to this bloke go.

[cameltooth1]

My dad and I used to play this song out at bar's. I'm 24 now and he's 57. I would sing it and play lead at the end. It was hard as shit to do in the same key, but I love it so much. I swear we did it justice. Not as good as the Stones, but very close.

[jackmioff100]

Charlie doesn't get enough credit for his playing on this, either.



[jhohcable]

Kind of a happy and sad song at the same time.

[TheAKOmnicide]

I bought Sticky Fingers today at my local record store, and it really is something else listening to this while you drive home in the rain. BEAUTIFUL.

[twinoak170]

My ears brought me here.

[twinoak170]

Made loud to be played loud.

[twinoak170]

Kick ass from start to finish.

[samansun]

One of Wyman's best efforts too.

[leontraveler]

Chaulk me up to Ronnie B as well!

[reginasoldan]

thanks Ronnie B for telling me about this song!!

[defme01]

Ronnie B. brought me here!

[dan2buys]

@defme01 "I don't know why you gotta shit all over this,Pepper,it's a great song".

It certainly is Ron.

[SJ9336JE]

It wasn't Keef who made the song. Keef clinked out during the recording sessions because chord scheme was too complex. But nevertheless Keef is also my favorite guitarist of all times.

[therollingstone95]

@SJ9336JE what was too complex?

[peter93200]

amazing MT

[ForcastBand]

best song ive ever heard....

[Campinoccio]

the original song and sound of my youth as a young,now a forever young rebel;-)thnx 2 Keith

[JEANNEBOLEYN]

WOW a barrage of brilliant sounds and vocals created by the masters of rock

[wheelman1324]

Still a great song. Although it did not have Brian Jones and hasn't since.

[samatoid]

No question Mick Taylor killed on this song - my favorite guitar track from the Rolling Stones along with Gimme Shelter. Mick Jagger also created wheely powerful vocal which of course is just part of hith whole perthona.

[45spindle]

Ladies and gentlemen...

"Mick Taylor's Rolling Stones!"

[CARLOSMORA71]

@45spindle sí !!!!!!!!!!!

[R3dp055um]

Great song. Sticky Fingers was their best album.

Moonlight Mile is the other forgotten gem off this album, but every damn song was a killer.

[mortimerdf]

awful!!

[buttnut1080]

@mortimerdf Thank you troll, please go do whatever it is trolls do when they're not trolling about.

[mortimerdf]

awful!!

[SgtCasper]

Play it loud!

[karlmopmod13]

ronnie woods a great guitarist



[305bigdad]

Charlie's a beast!

[peterp21]

This is just the two Micks, Charlie and Bill right? No Keith, with Jagger holding down the rhythm guitars.

[cooldewd35]

Mick Taylor was the "silent" driving force behind the Stones best period. Before him they were a good ordinary band...after him they were a parody of a great band. With Taylor, the Stones were the greatest band in the world. End of.

[mcdubmeister]

@cooldewd35 totally agreed, Mick Taylor time with the stones was the bands pinnacle!

[holirobi]

@cooldewd35 After and before Mick Taylor was the Stones also a great band!

[00Jackacid]

@cooldewd35 think you're giving him a little too much credit man. they were huge before taylor and still were after. he was just a great guitarists. jagger and richards are songwriting geniuses

[1999wharfrat]

@00Jackacid I think you're not giving him ENOUGH credit. When the rhythm section (Watts and Wyman, especially Watts) state that he was the best guitarist AND the best musician the group ever had, well, that says it to me. Yes, Keith and Mick wrote great songs. Thegroup is still great, but not CLOSE to the caliber they were with Mick. A great song is a start, but without a great musician, a lead guitarist who can interpret that song and weave it through the rhythm and vocals, it's nothing.

[00Jackacid]

@1999wharfrat nothing? the stones were great before mick taylor and great afterwards. mick didnt write the hits and his solo album didnt set the world on fire. there are alot of great guitarists out there pal. song writing genius is truly rare. lots of great musicians simply cant write music. thats why pop classics arent written by session musicians or virtuosos most of the time. brian wilson tinkers on a piano and writes a masterpeice. the guitar hero was a fad and there are better players

[maddietorrie]

@1999wharfrat Well, maybe not "nothing", but I agree that a great lead guitarist is critically important. I enjoyed the way you put it..."...a lead guitarist who can interpret that song and weave it through the rhythm and vocals..."

[CornishCockney]

@1999wharfrat agreed mick taylor was a great guitarist,but the stones purists argued they were never the same band after brian jones left this mortal coil,then mick taylor leaving weakened the band,then it was the MTV age turned them into media whores....its ALL BOLLOCKS !! the stones are great in ANY era,with magnificent rock milestones in every decade due to the way they adapted their sound.quite simply,the greatest ever rock band

[jaynemercier]

@cooldewd35 ...truer words have not been spoken of the talented mick taylor.

[WeRnotSchizophrenics]

My favorite one recording is beggars banquet,sticky fingers and let it bleed. also everything else the stones have done. Living legends.

[david1956nz]

Have never figured why you never hear this song mentioned by that many people. Right up there in my top handful of Stones songs, and Sticky Fingers is simply THE Stones album, their defining work in my oipnion.

[barefoot191]

Ain't flinging tears out on the dusty ground

For all my friends out on the burial ground

Can't stand the feeling getting so brought down

It's just that demon life has got me in its sway

So well put, it is almost mind boggling. I wonder if Keith and Mick were referring mostly to Brian ? I have to agree that Mick Taylor filled the void Brian left with awesome results as the band peaked during his fabulous tenure.

[21XDxDXD12]

pure groove! =)

[terryorr]

Best rock guitar solo of all time. The Stones became the world's greatest rock band the day MIck T joined and ceased being the world's greatest rock band the day Mick T left.

[77shellbell]

first time me hearing this song ,

[AllOurYesterdaze]

Ronnie Lane, Pete Townshend and Billy Nicholls are singing backing vocals on this track.

[altcountryguitar]

Brian Jones was a damned musical prodigy and Ronnie Wood can rock with the best of them, but I still contend that the Stones hit their musical peak when the tandem of Richards and Taylor went to work. That string of albums was about as good as rock and roll is likely to get, and "Sway" is a perfect example of why.

[namey420]

mick taylor gotta be the most under ratted guitar player it's like us hardcore stones fans got our own lil secret but he never got his dues he should be mentioned way more when they talk about the great guitar players but it is kinda cool he's like our own little secret

[marktwain4]

@namey420 hear ya bro,,and it is cool

[namey420]

@marktwain4 lol glad u feel the same btw i;m a chick lol no worries every1 thinks i'm a guy on here cause i know alot about music for my age

[Flunder]

this song reminds me of my deadly meth days.shit. it was better then.

[Meatsexual]

I'm also on board with the "Taylor is GOD" clan. Yeehaw!

[shanehenning26]

great song

[Aldebaron9]

..... that's got........ me..............

[duffbrainard]

funny you should ask. Taylor wrote this particular song with Mick Jagger, along with another from this album (can't remember which... Moonlight Mile?) and got no songwriting credit. Zip, zero, zilch.

[clacksonracers]

@duffbrainard Marianne Faithful said in an interview that Taylor wrote Wild Horses as well and that Jagger and Richards stole it from him. The end solo on Sway gives me chills of pleasure down my spine every time I hear it. What a guitarist!

[namey420]

@duffbrainard it was moonlight mile tylor wrote it

[punk137ya]

Mick Taylor is a God.

[MrKirkenstein]

serious contender for best ever Stones song.

[MMRJL]

it grows on you...its matter is utterly what we know

[Yaz888]

I just discovered this song. LOVE IT! Thanks for posting.

[wellergilardino9]

@sciuto01 shut the fuck up, dont write on the videos if your gonna say that, keep your retarded opinions (which are wrong) to yourself, yeah ronnie wood wasnt as good as mick so what, you like the stones because your on this vid yes? So just respect Ron wood for being there, he's 20 times as good as you'll ever be at anything.

[merossi1]

got to be one of my all time favorites from the Stones....and...why? or why?? did Mick Taylor leave????????

[johnwaynepresley]

...nothing like white boy blues

[Kelly14UK]

This is like Stray Cat Blues from Ya Yas. Glad they did this. Top 5 for me.

[sciuto01]

Ronnie Wood sucks

[blitzshriek999]

@sciuto01 sure aint no replacement for Mick T, eh?

[Aldebaron9]

They took off the video version with Marianne all wasted and the poppy swaying in the wind..........

[bacardibum]

i cant agree more with a lot of the comments here. mick taylor was the greatest thing that ever happened to the stones. perhaps if the stones had given taylor credit for songs like sway, moonlight mile, time waits for no one and more, he would have stuck around. for the past 30 years the stones have been a joke, but i love the mick taylor years!

[dermotwalker]

@bacardibum Couldn't be bothered to read the comments leading up to this point but I would have thought there was long established, broad consensus for the Taylor years being regarded as the peak as far as guitar's concerned. Anyone who says otherwise, can't be familiar with the catalogue or the reviews. Or common fucking sense either, come to think of it.

[SuperMillions100]

3;54 long orgasm for the ears

[ChristianPaul75]

One of my favorite Rock songs ever. The intertwining play of lead and rhythm guitar (Mick Jagger is credited for rhythm, it says on my copy) could go on forever. I´m thinking hard if I´ve heard something like it before, but I think I didn´t. Oh what the Stones lost when Mick Taylor left.

[kakashitimesete]

2:38 - 3:50 for you hear the solo again, and after that comes wild horses. Great album

[RickBeall]

I had forgotten how good this song is. Wow! Blown away 20 years later.

[SIDIQUE73]

@RickBeall funny i was thinking the same thing

[pitzernaldo]

Sou simplesmente fissurado nesta música e em todo este LP!!!

[PENTADACTYLON]

Mick Taylor for ever...

[Fashizle20]

Remember this on eight-track:-)

[Maxnned]

Taylor was a beast at guitar. Too bad he couldnt stay on board

[cgraber]

@Maxnned never appreciated by the Stones. Funny how the quality of content dropped off noticably after he left in '74.

[langlaisfada]

A lot is said and written about Taylor on this song and rightly so. BUT just listen to Jagger. One of his very best (of many I know) vocal performances. You realise just how great the vocals are when you listen to the Carla Olsen/Taylor live version with a great Taylor but a tame-in-comparison-to-Jagger Olsen.

[LedZeppelin827]

happy birthday mick taylor, youre a fucking geinus man

[SOLISDEUS]

One of many Mick Taylor songs that Mick Taylor never received credit.  Jagger was worried of blemishing the Jagger/Richards brand. Shameful. They also lifted a Billy Preston tune, "Melody." Billy sued and won.

[Andy4315]

Fantastic , that track is worth playing over and over again .

[Kelly14UK]

@Andy4315 Yeah. Discovered it in '91 just after I saw Goodfellas for the first time...

[MrKirkenstein]

best stones song .....

"didja ever wake up to find a day that broke up your mind..."

[TheOneAndOnlyMcFly0]

yeah right ron wood is better



[fondofrory]

Mick Jagger / Mick Taylor .

[donnpatc]

My favorite Stones song, and maybe their best.  Man, what they lost when they lost Mick Taylor...

[kentucy9999]

This whole period should be renamed "Mick Taylor and the Rolling Stones." Mick wrote this song with Jagger. Keith Richard had nothing to do with it. {Just like Time Waits for no One and a number of other songs.} Jagger wanted to give Taylor the writing credits for the songs he helped write but not Keith. Tells you something. Keith Richard couldn't play this guitar solo if his life depended on it. What a joke.

[slem54]

Man, that last two minutes of Mick's bliss -awesome. slem 54

[GBPaddling]

Just absolutely awesome,the way the orchestra interracts with the bluesy guitar solo at the end is just Epic,with a capital E-P-I-C !!!

[jivechump]

did anyone catch them on Saturday Night Live back in the late 70's- Mick and Keith were basically tongueing each other t- I tell this to my die hard Stones friend and it just sets him off- lol

[Unflushablepiss]

what an amazing song. zeppelin used to be my favourite band (still good) but stones takes everything. these songs came out before i was born but god damn are they ever epic. people forget that stones are also a blues band. thanks for this song and cheers to all the stone fans!

[bucky468]

Who's playing guitar? Couldn't be Brian Jones cuz he died yrs before this album was completed in its entirety.

[piotreklll]

@bucky468 Mick Tylor solo guitar and Mick Jagger rythm guitar..Keith Richards was not them in studio..Taylor sad in an interview

[namey420]

@bucky468 mick taylor dude he was just a kid too only about 20 in my opinon he was the guitar player the stones ever had

[namey420]

@bucky468 it's mick taylor the kid was the best thing that ever happened to the stones too bad they wouldn't give him the credit he desserved thats why he left they kinda went down hil after he left he was on exile too

[jeffthrow6892]

Absolute overlooked masterpiece of a song.......

[Pagan72]

Where it's REALLY at now. LOL Good vs. Evil.. let's get it on

[sandrajagger]

que gran letra...no cabe duda que algùn dìa nos despertamos

con algo que cambio tu vida..

larga vida a jagger -richards y gracias por esta hermosa canciòn.

[MrSistermaryelephant]

@Rabbit1Lee--Haunting isn't it?

[WhyDoYouAskWhoIam]

Great drumming by Charlie Watts; it's his best. One of the best Stones tunes ever.

[Stoned69]

The best track off "Sticky Fingers" and one of their top 10 tracks ever!

[Rabbit1Lee]

@Stoned69 For sure. Taylors ending guitar solo just gets me, every single time ; )

[Unflushablepiss]

@Stoned69 indeed my friend!

[goodriddance86]

@Stoned69  Absolutely agreed!!!!!

[Unflushablepiss]

@goodriddance86 gives me goosebumps listening to this track

[David56583]

@Stoned69  TOTALLY AGREED!!!

[papafirelin]

@Stoned69 I agree...no doubt...you are right bro!!!
