50 years of the Stones.

Big Stick · Jul 12, 2012

Here are a couple of Stones track that are great but I've never heard on the radio.

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=thZ__Ak8PyA&feature=related]The Rolling Stones - Shine A Light (Subtitulado/Traducido en español) - YouTube[/ame]

Jennifer Warren does a great cover of Shine A Light. When I heard it the first time I went to the Stones version.

Below is an old new Stones song that was released on the Some ..... deluxe CD last year. It is vintage, perverse, stones. Just like we like them.

that's yuk.

why we ever gave up sublime music and exchanged it for jobbing troopadore nonsense of the popular music variety, the rise of big business gave us i don't know. but you can keep it.

Then thank God for jobbing troopadore nonsense! The Stones are one of the icons of my youth. I still love the scene from Apocalypse now where they're skiing behind the gunboat to Satisfaction.

I forgot about that scene and agree it is a good scene.

Good call Von. I like Rocks off and Let It Loose. I think Let It Loose might be the best track.

Is it really only 50 years? It seems a lot longer than that.

Ah! Louise our first .... to take part in the thread but I sense a note of disapproval in your post. Bear in mind one of the Stones' biggest musical influences was Howlin Wolf and he wrote an interesting song

I only like a few of their songs; the band just never has thrilled me.

Aye Tj same here, they just wernt that good musically, not enough to spark interest from a guitar head like myself

The secret's in the interaction between the two guitarists. You won't get pyrotechnics or brilliant solos from keith, but you'll get amazing, twining, intersecting guitar lines, unlike anything else on record.

(And in fact, an excess of musical professionalism is a huge turn-off for me. No artist in history is as dull as Eric Clapton, for my money. I like it rough around the edges - feels more truthful!)

If you are truly a Guitar head get yourself some live Stones during the Mick Taylor era. Get Yer Ya's Ya's has some great, great guitar from Taylor. There are plenty of boot legs out there out there as well.
The only two guitarists that I've heard play as well live are Hendrix and Clapton.
Knopfler and Page fade in a live setting but Taylor, along with Clapton and Jimi sound better live than in the studio.

Although ugabug has already posted Gimme Shelter it is worth showing the live version in order to highlight just how good Mick Taylor was :

My favorate story about them. Under contract to produce a certain number of songs the stones released .... Sucking Blues to fulfill there contract and screw the record company over.

Gudenrath · Jul 13, 2012

I'm not much of a fan of their later (post 1970) stuff, but the 1964-65 Chess Sessions (recorded at the famous blues studio in Chicago) always gets me going:

They really knew their blues, and that alone is a great foundation for any band. And of course they made one of the all greatest cool and spaced out songs. The stoners anthem everywhere:

Absolutely true and I think it was Keith Richard's idea. No surprise there .
