Pretty good essay in Vanity Fair. By the way, have any of you been watching Vinyl of HBO? I think it's pretty fun to watch. Don't care too much about what is going on with the lead character, but I do really like the direct and indirect allusions to the rock stars and peripheral people we all know. In places where the could not use the actual name or image of a person, it's fun to figure out who they are alluding to. www.vanityfair.com/culture/2016/03/mick-jagger-keith-richards-rich-cohen

I like the nudity in it!! Great article, thanks! I like Keith Richards the more I read about him and even Mick comes across as pretty cool by this writer who befriended them.

If it was a documentary, maybe, but seeing the scenes from "Empire" is bad enough.

We have an official Stones Thread somewhere but I could not readily find it. But here is an interesting article ranking every officially released Rolling Stones song from 373 to 1! www.vulture.com/2017/05/whats-the-best-rolling-stones-song-of-all-time.htmlClearly subjective but fun to read. For me "Gimme Shelter" is perhaps the greatest Rock and Roll song of all time by anyone. It has a vibe from a whole different universe.

It has a vibe from a whole different universe. 369. “Harlem Shuffle,” 360. “Hitch Hike,” 344. “Off the Hook,” 318. “I Wanna Be Your Man,” 275. “Stupid Girl,” 223. “Little Red Rooster,” 208. “Little T&A,” should all be up the list further. I especially like Harlem Shuffle. I can't go along with You Can't Always Get What You Want being number 1. Beast of Burden seems pretty light weight to be at number 3.

"Beast Of Burden" does seem high and I would have "Gimme Shelter" at #1, no question there.
I love the studio version of "You Can't Always Get What You Want" with that satanic sounding boys' choir starting the song, sounds like something from The Omen movie a few years later.
"Wild Horses" would be close to the top for me too, a rare time I think when Mick Jagger was sincere in his stated emotions, I think Marianne Faithfull had just had a heroin overdose. Great song though.

I've never figured out my Stones top five before. Sympathy for the Devil would most likely get number one. Filling it out, off the top of my head would be Do Do Do (Heartbreaker), Paint it Black, Brown Sugar (the think the writer of the article thought it was a pro-"beat your female slaves" song), Miss You and Emotional Rescue, in no particular order.
Make that top six.

Who went back to basic rock and roll first, the Beatles or the Stones? Hey Bulldog and Lady Madonna were fairly early 1968. When was JJF?

Bulldog wasn't released until '69. I doubt the Stones heard it prior to the release. Lady Madonna is more of a boogie-woogie kind of song. It doesn't strike as basic Rock and Roll.
This version here is better than the released version because it sounds live, not as produced.

I visited the Rolling Stones official website recently and noticed they have about 16 live albums in their catalogue now, not including the forthcoming On Air set. Surely Paul McCartney and his people can let us have live albums covering Wings' early and 1979 concerts at some point? His new studio album is apparently now not likely to be available until sometime next year. Let us have something appealing in the interim; reissues are not enough!

The original bad boys of Rock?
The showed up in my new music playlist from The Stones' Past Masters disc I picked up recently.
