    Apparently, Jeff is into turning crankshafts.

      Hmmm... long time Stones fan, and this song is only - mehhhh...

      Sounds like a Voodoo Lounge leftover. The music is generic, lacking any of the rawness and bite that Keef and company used to bring. On the bright side, Mick sounds great in my opinion (although the lyrics were apparently penned by a third grader - makes you appreciate DLR's effort on ADKOT!)

      I could live without this song - it's okay in an average kind of way, but definitely not enough to make me want to buy yet another Stones greatest hits package. If they were smart, they would have hired Mick Taylor to write it - or at least lay down a memorable solo.
      My karma just ran over your dogma.

          I kinda like it...

          Sounds more like an Alice Cooper song but it's cool...

            Well, it's definitely not a Voodoo Lounge leftover.... because there's about 10 discs worth of bootleg material from those sessions, and nothing like this song is on them.

            More a continuation of their last album "A Bigger Bang", which was also very good. It's got a classic 70s feel to it, which is probably the result of the Stones spending so much time in their own archives lately, between the authorized live boots, the bonus discs on Exile & Some Girls, and the concert videos from 72 and 78.


            Oh.... and here's something from the Voodoo Lounge archives.....

                I kinda like it. Not something I would really seek out, but great background tune when shooting some pool or something.

                  It sounds like Jagger solo, not the Stones...

                  Who can frankly recognize Charlie's drumming? The guitar sounds?

                  Definitely not stonesy to me, but pretty good stuff, though.

                    I disagree. Bigger Bang was horrible.

                      Sounds a bit like You Got Me Rockin.

                      which isn't a bad thing in itself.

                      I like the rawness of Keith's rhythm playing on this.

                          Everybody assumed that this song was about ex-wife Anita Pallenberg when it first was released. Keef has since said (in his autobiography) that it was actually about Mick!

                            Never get tired of hearing this one. Obvious why it didn't make the cut on Goats Head Soup and had to get a completely redone vocal before it finally surfaced on Tattoo You. But in it's original state, probably Mick Jagger's funniest vocal performance ever.......

                                Interesting that Mick plays the opening riff on gloom and doom.Its gotta be brutal on Charlie Watts for sure.
