MAD POLL, LOST YER WAY – ILM Artist Poll #16 – The Rolling Stones RESULTS THREAD

has anyone been to wyman's restaurant? http://www.stickyfingers.co.uk

Bill Wyman, Numismatist

Sticky Fingers Café was aptly named in tune to the infamous album released by the band and was the concept of Bill Wyman’s idea of what kind of restaurant he enjoyed and London should have some it too.

huh?

hope you all voted for je suis un rockstar

xp he's a bass player not a sentence writer! cut him some slack!

Menu sounds pretty tasty though

looooooool

oh je suis un rockstar

it should get a vote just for lols alone, oh that video

ahh yeah that video is some shit eh?

this is crazy too

just for posterity's sake

I mean...that video, that song...It's like the 40 Year Old Virgin talking about sex

youtube comments that he's the sexiest Stone is just, this is why I hate youtube commenters lol

Would have gladly thrown "je suis un rockstar" some points if solo jams were included. It's one of the most stupid fun songs of all.

it hurts, but it's a fun pain

she took off her hat, and she had lovely hair...

SHE TOOK OFF ER AT
AND SHE AD LOVLY AIR

jinx, lol

Jagger paid attention to Wyman for the first time in years upon "Je Suis..." becoming a hit.

she was a disco dawncah

always sound like 'she took off her rat'

is he wearing his metal detector headphones at the end of the video?

NickB you just made me irl lol

she took off her rat

I'm crying over here, loll

a reminder:

On 2 June 1989 Wyman married 18-year-old Mandy Smith whom he had been dating since she was 13. Their relationship was the subject of considerable media attention. The marriage ended in spring 1991, although the divorce was not finalised until 1993.[16] In 1993, while Wyman was still married to Smith, Stephen, his son from his first marriage, became engaged to Smith's mother.

His son would have been his father in law.

It's like a sexy disco song sung by Minder's Arthur Daley ...I can't stop listening to it. Oh the lols.

xxpost we should have it rephrased and added as a standard SAT question

This one was alright, though:

dating since she was THIRTEEN

I sure hope he was just making cups of tea

I've never seen Je Suis Un Rock Star before. Fascinatingly bad and then this: "They'll think I'm your Dad...and you're my daughter"

je suis un pedophile

yay Wild Horses, I had to vote for it because the guitarwork is just beautiful, and I enjoy it lyrically as well. I never get tired of it.

xpost lol Alfred

love that youtube, roger!

<3 Keith singing along...and Charlie has these funny slight faces at a few points, I guess listening to his own part...but his first reaction is almost like, 'whoa this is us?'

i'm glad! it was a tough choice bc the version they're hearing on playback doesn't include keef's lovely solo.

should start including these where possible now that we're in top 20:

^ wow, that site is great

all props to Alfred for posting it in the voting thread!

wait why does Taylor suddenly turn around in that and say it was all Jagger, after talking about Keith in the previous quote?

thanks! and continuously updated!

man that site is awesome

it's got a lol 1999 design but it's thorough

TAAAAAAAKE ME DAAAAWWN LITTLE SOOOOOZIE

love love love

Don't remember if I voted for it but so great

great townes van zandt version of this, my second fave song on sticky fingers

When literary critics praise the uses of irony -- its capacity for warmth and tenderness -- they need to groove to "Dead Flowers."

as much as i have forgotten about guitaring, i can always count on this.

really powerful reminder that while mccartney-type chops don't get in the way of songwriting, all you really need is a couple of cowboy chords and something to say.

I was thinking abut this in the car on the way home from work, that sticky fingers/exile and other albums that I'm not thinking of show how good the Stones were at what NOT to include on a song, when to be big and brassy, when to be silent, you know everything is so well crafted even though it always *feels* loose and off the cuff. I dunno. They have a talent for arranging, I think. Is that mostly Keef, or Mick, or all of them?

From the Hail Hail documentary I got the impression that Keef is actually a pretty good band-wrangler
