I'll start working on it in the morning. Just for you Neo.

Regardless, the country Rolling Stones are dull. They should have stuck to their wheelhouse.

Nah, they had quite a few very successful, musically speaking, stabs at it.

P.S. Growing up, my dad was all about country. He and my stepmom's favorite song was Charlie Rich's "Behind Closed Doors". The first time I tried to explain how awesome rock guitar was (14-ish) he pulled out a Chet Atkins record and shut me the **** up big time. He had a HUGE collection of stuff both old and new at the time (mid 70s), and spent a few years turning me on to a lot of awesome stuff.

I know me my country bros.

Spinning Chet Atkins records with your dad? That’s not a country music education. Whiskey fueled beatdowns with Ernest Tubb playing. That’s how you learn about country.

NO. It was a guitar education at the time. You swung and totally missed at my point.

^ Despite Norg's grammar, this comes closest to my uninformed opinion. Uninformed because while I grew up on their good-at-the-time 60s singles, I never commited to buying an album. My main problems are with how Jagger dominated the band. It feels like every song turns into a vehicle for him to project his faux-American bad-ass sexuality. That's not a celebration I find interesting tbh.

(nice gif, btw, MicShazam!)

After re-visiting these 4 albums I think the reason it's easy to label a lot of them country is the combination of Jagger's incessant "twang" in his vocals (really obnoxious after a while), and the heavy use of slide guitar by Richards and Taylor. The lists below are based on the songs - chord progressions, arraignments, tones, rhythm section, and basic vibe.

Each of these songs (sans Jagger and slide) I'd label either blues (mainly Chicago style), American Rock n Roll, gospel, pop, or British style rock.

Beggar's Banquet (the most Country of the 4)
- Sympathy for the Devil
- Parachute Woman
- Street Fighting Man
- Stray Cat Blues

Let it Bleed
- Gimme Shelter
- Live with Me
- Midnight Rambler
- Monkey Man
- You Can't Always Get What You Want

Sticky Fingers
- Brown Sugar
- Sway
- Can't You Hear Me Knocking
- You Gotta Move
- B1tch
- Moonlight Mile

Exile
- Rocks Off
- Rip This Joint
- Shake Your Hips (ZZ Top, I'm looking at you)
- Casino Boogie
- Tumbling Dice
- Torn and Frayed
- Happy
- Turd on the Run
- Ventilator Blues
- I Just Want to See His Face
- All Down the Line
- Stop Breaking Down
- Shine a Light
- Soul Survivor

I think the only thing that sucks about the Stones is that Fergie cover of Gimme Shelter.

hawt
Man, I did not think they were that bad that they were taken to court! :yikes:

Given the context I would very much like to cosign your joke, but I cannot. Eat ****.

I don't think I could eat four stars; three would be quite enough, thank you.

The grammar Nazism is incredibly solid but you needed a good joke to go along with it. You floundered like Ariel's best mate.

The thing that sucks about the Stones is that they have a lot of filler in their catalog. That said, when they put their minds to it, they made some really fantastic music.

The thing that sucks about the Rolling Stones is that they gather no moss. Lazy ****ers.

What else would you use when you come up against the word "arraign" then, Mein Fuhrer?

I would have waited for a better opportunity.

When ever I see your avatar I imagine it's right after Lui Kang beat him in Mortal Kombat, Batlord.

****ing nerd. I love that movie though.

I was more so referencing the game.

The eye beam thing made me assume you were thinking of Shang Tsung's death scene from the movie.

Mortal Kombat II.... Good lord, I could've spent days under the sheets.

She's from the second movie. Nobody talks about the seconds movie. And the first Sonya had vastly better Resting Bitch Face.

Like the first MK was any good, remember this guy?

Mother ****er that's The Machine from WMAC Masters.

:love:

:bowdown:

I completely forgot about this show, i luved that show!! It's all coming back to me now, i liked the tsunami guy.

I was all about that guy who was constantly carrying around his Olympic medal. I hated The Machine cause he was always kicking that dude's ass.

I've never cared for their attempts to make country music, either. The music isn't bad but Mick Jagger's phony Southern drawl always sounds ridiculously cartoonish to me.
I also don't dig their attempts at covering soul songs. Again, it comes down to Jagger's vocals spoiling the vibe. Soul without soul.

A soul divided against itself cannot stand.

:beer:

^ Ditto all this. Is it wrong of me that I enjoy the nod-and-wink Jaggerisms of Brian Jonestown Massacre more than the original Jagger:-



Come on, baby!

The suckiest thing about the Stones was they ****ed up their legacy by carrying on way too long. I actually like Tattoo You, but after that? WTF

Same here, "Too Much Blood" was too much for my taste I guess.

What sucks about The Rolling Stones?
Easy question, the answer is: Mick Jagger.
Not that he was a bad singer or songwriter, but his "I invented rock n' roll, babe" behaviour gets on my nerves every time i listen to The Rolling Stones. Don't get me wrong, they've got some great tunes, but Jagger was and still is so self conceited, that i can't stand him and I get annoyed with his music.

Trust me, "self conceited" gets on my nerves too. There are plenty artist I write off for the same reason. However I didn't get that from Mick. I just think of him as not talking himself too seriously and just goofing around singing. Even though he acts like he hot stuff he comes off as dorky. It's seems like all an act on stage, when he's not performing he seems like a regular bloke.

Yeah, I couldn't stand Robert Plant for the same reason, not because he was self conceited, but because of his attitude on stage, which consisted on wearing (ridiculous) floral blouses and saying "babe, babe mama let's go, woman" thousands of times while Page was doing a 20 minute long guitar solo with a violin bow and Bonham was doing an even longer drum solo. And they acted as if they were supercool, while I was thinking "Lord, this is so boring"...I know it doesn't have much to do with the topic, but I used to think about Led Zeppelin the same way I think about The Rolling Stones now. Now I'm a huge Zep fan, who knows, maybe I'll get to like the Stones, too.

They've been working on a new album for the past 5-6 years and they still haven't finished it. I'm not expecting much from them at this point in their career but I'd still like to hear it before we all die of old age.

If you're not a fan of Sweet Emotion by Aerosmith, then add this to the list of atrocities because it was the inspiration for it.
