again from the Stones' Facebook page

Mick hosts an all-new SNL with musical guests Foo Fighters, Arcade Fire, and Jeff Beck.

Not familiar with Arcade Fire, but Mick singing with the Foo Fighters could be interesting.

Arcade Fire's a Canadian band. They rock

[Mr Walker]

Foo Fighters are getting just as bad as Slash used to be... rock's "Uncle Tom's"

Well, it doesn't appear the Stones will be on SNL.... or will they?

I don't want to read too much into this, but isn't it odd that Mick Taylor shows up on the New York based Jimmy Fallon show the same week that Jagger is hosting SNL? Fallon is an ex SNL cast member (who usually shows up on the season finale) and I believe Lorne Michaels produces his show.

It could all be a coincidence, but it's a damn big one.

saw them on the Grammy show two years ago, i thought they were awful.

[twonabomber]

well...that wasn't so great. a couple decent sketches but overall i give it a "meh." didn't really have great expectations, it is SNL after all. maybe i should have said i got no expectations.

when Mick said "i wrote this song about the upcoming election" i cringed.

liked the Foos better than Arcade Fire.

Not exactly Mick's best lyrical work here, but it sounds like something he probably just wrote this week, and didn't put a lot of thought into. But what the fuck, it's still got Jeff Beck in it......

One of my absolute favorites.

.....abruptly cut off for JJF near the end, but I like this version.

[fourthcoming]

Man, I know I'm probably way late to the party with this but the new, re-mastered version of Some Girls with bonus tracks is amazing. Just finally got around to buying it the other day.....some really good stuff on that second cd.

[Jérôme Frenchise]

Great stuff indeed, especially "Claudine", dedicated to the Canadian Prime Minister's hot wife, Margaret Trudeau, who in the end of the 70s was strongly attracted to the Stones...
Ronnie Wood that is, and maybe Mick Jagger, even.

Maggie "Claudine" must have been Hot Stuff...

She used to wind up at Studio 54 with Ronnie and then (supposedly) Mick by 1979, triggering scandal in Canada.

[Jérôme Frenchise]

What I find no good in the "Some Girls" reissue is that Jagger indulged himself into re-recording vocals... What a pity...

Mick committed that in too many of the "Exile" bonus tracks. It pissed me when I heard that - spotted the trick at once.

[Satan]

That's all true, but that's not what Claudine was about at all. Claudine was a real person.... actress Claudine Longet, who was married to singer/TV host Andy Williams. She had an affair with an Olympic skier named Spider Sabich, and she shot & killed him, claiming the gun discharged accidentally. The jury bought it, and she only served 30 days in jail on the charge of "misdemeanor criminal negligence".
