"The Rolling Stones" Thread

I assume most Stones gigs would be outdoors and in the US not so many people go to shows on public transport. An older audience will be more vaccinated so sounds like it's relatively low risk.

Was there some burning need for the Foo Fighters to remake Bee Gees songs?

There are two types of act, the band and the dictator with sidekicks. The former usually eventually argue until they split, the later like the Foo Fighters, DLR or Prince are always under the threat of the boss doing some crazy emperors new clothes shit.

Following up a disappointing album with Bee Gee's covers definitely gets filed under crazy shit no one else wants.

Nobody sounded like Bill Wyman but Darryl Jones works and nobody plays fills like Charlie Watts but a good drummer can make it work. A new drummer will throw the band because they played with Charlie the whole time. The only two people in The Stones you can’t replace are Mick and Keith. They are too up front and unique.

Steve Jordan is a great drummer in his own right, and he works great with Keef. But it's a totally different vibe than the Stones. Keef & Charlie ARE the Stones.... in the sense that it's the musical foundation that everything else is built on.

I'm getting a sinking feeling that the Stones are going through with this, so they can make up the cancelled 2020 dates and then pull the plug for real. And if that's the case, it would truly suck ass if they played their last shows without Charlie.

A band is a recipe. Each member is an ingredient. You change an ingredient you change the recipe. Nobody likes a classic recipe they like changed but sometimes you can't get the original ingredients and have to make the best substitute you can. it won't be the same but it still might be good and worth having.

I remember seeing The Stones in 1981. Some of us lifeguards and greenskeepers drove to Phoenix to see them because we thought it might be their last tour. Ha! Ha!

Excellent analogy.

2022 is the 60th anniversary. I haven't looked too far into it but I'd guess they will play some shows in the UK next year to celebrate. Get Watts ready for that.

Ha! Charlie is a homeboy. He never liked the road much. Keith said they all get road burnt but after some time home they all get hungry for the road except Charlie. Charlie never wants to go out and all they have to do is talk with Mrs. Watts. She always can get her man back out there usually by saying you don’t do much when you are home dear and that shoots his excuse of being busy down in flames.

[FORD]

Keef & Charlie - the foundation on which all else is built. They made this one up pretty much on the spot.....

Yeah, Mick in there too... but he wouldn't be improvising a random vocal over nothing.

(BTW, this little jam eventually became "Bitch" on Sticky Fingers..... but that was a long way off from where they were here!

[FORD]

Woody & Mick Taylor playing the blues......

[FORD]

Hell... how about another....

Sticky Fingers turned 50 this month.


No one cares.

Rolling Stones Drop Previously Unreleased Track ‘Living in the Heart of Love’ From ‘Tattoo You’ Reissue

40th-anniversary edition of 1981 album will come with rarities disc, live album recorded in London in 1982


The Rolling Stones will mark the 40th anniversary of their 1981 album, Tattoo You, with a reissue featuring a bonus disc filled with previously unreleased material. The set will arrive on October 22nd via Polydor/Interscope/UMe.

To accompany the announcement, the Stones released “Living in the Heart of Love,” one of the nine previously unreleased songs that will appear on the bonus disc, Lost & Found. The nine songs were all originally recorded while the Stones were making Tattoo You, but were recently completed and enhanced with additional vocals and guitar by the Stones.

Along with “Living in the Heart of Love,” Lost & Found will feature a rendition of Jimmy Reed’s 1963 track “Shame, Shame, Shame” and a rendition of Dobie Gray’s 1973 soul tune, “Drift Away.” The disc will even include an alternate version of one of Tattoo You’s most famous tracks, “Start Me Up,” that incorporates some reggae influences.

Along with Lost & Found, a super deluxe edition of the Tattoo You 40th-anniversary set will come with a live album, Still Life: Wembley Stadium 1982. The concert was recorded in June of that year on the London stop of the band’s Tattoo You tour and boasts a 26-song set that includes plenty of Stones hits, plus covers of songs by the Temptations, Eddie Cochran, and the Miracles.

The Tattoo You 40th-anniversary set will be released in several physical formats. The two-CD set will feature just the remastered album and Lost & Found, while the four-CD box set will include the original album, Lost & Found, and the Wembley concert. The album will also be pressed in several vinyl formats, including a five-LP boxset that also comes with a hardback book featuring rare photos and interviews with producer Chris Kimsey and photographer Hubert Kretzschmar.

Nothing here that I haven't heard before, but it's good to see "Drift Away" and "Living In The Heart of Love" finally get an official release. As well as the original "Start Me Up" demo from 1975. Seeing some of the other titles on the bonus disc also brings into context that earlier leak of three albums worth of outtakes a few months back. Mick's clearly been busy in this project for a while, and he took his one bonus disc out of that pool of material.

Only thing missing here - the original mix of Neighbors that's all about the guitars, instead of too many keyboards, sax solos, and Charlie's drums mixed WAY too loud. Sadly, I guess were stuck with the muddy bootleg version of that one.

The other thing that could really improve this album? Use the fucking FULL versions of "Slave" and "Worried About You". But I'm not holding my breath.
