Anyone listen to the bonus material on the new deluxe edition? I'm not exactly a fan of the album - there's only a few tracks that I like - and so far I'm underwhelmed by the outtakes. I'll keep trying with "Criss Cross," "Scarlet" and "All the Rage," they're being hyped as the lost classics. They're okay for outtakes, but I don't feel they're on par with the better cuts from this era.

I would love to have that Brussels Affair live disc, but no way am I paying $150 for the super deluxe edition. I'll probably end up grabbing the 2CD version at some point.

The War on Drugs mix of Scarlett is horrible and the Jacques le Conte one is kinda good?
― 29 facepalms, Saturday, 5 September 2020 00:11 (three years ago) link
unless I'm reading it wrong, the alternate mix above drops 'Hide Your Love', so I can't get behind it.
― campreverb, Saturday, 5 September 2020 14:49 (three years ago) link
"Criss Cross" is good.

Yeah. Solid video too.

I just listened to this whole thing. I like the new songs just fine but won't return to them much. The first part of the Brussels show was good but older material like "Midnight Rambler" and "You Can't Always Get What You Want" didn't have the punch of the newer material, from Exile & GHS. "Happy" through "Angie" was very good, I can leave the rest.

Man, "Winter" would be such a great track without those dumb "Levon" strings.

This reissue is the bee’s knees. Other than the corny “remixes”. Page on “Scarlet” is just *wow*.
― SQUIRREL MEAT!! (Capitaine Jay Vee), Wednesday, 16 September 2020 18:46 (three years ago) link
The live set on the reissue is awesomely noisy and the most house-disrupting thing I've played during COVID since the Hendrix poll.

"Star Star" must be the dullest "controversial" song ever... the band sounds embarrassed to be recording it.
― Can Butch Vig not do "dynamimcs"? (morrisp), Wednesday, 16 September 2020 19:53 (three years ago) link
Without prejudice to the thread title/topic - the dropoff from Exile to this album is pretty extraordinary, IMO
― Can Butch Vig not do "dynamimcs"? (morrisp), Wednesday, 16 September 2020 19:57 (three years ago) link
Dropoff from this one to "Black And Blue" moreso. That one's just a plain lazy album, IMO.
― SQUIRREL MEAT!! (Capitaine Jay Vee), Wednesday, 16 September 2020 21:33 (three years ago) link
b&b has some choice cuts, "hey negrita," "memory motel," and "fool to cry" are as good as anything they've done, but it does feel tossed-off compared to the previous two.

Though It’s Only Rock’n’Roll actually comes after GHS doesn’t it? And that’s even worse to my ears.

Tying to imagine “scarlet” played by Zep and it’s damn near impossible

Bonham just wouldn’t be able to handle that Charlie beat lol

It takes more than having Jimmy Page on your sing for it to sound like Zep. Ask David Coverdale.

Song. Obviously.

I'm not a big Stones fan, especially their later era, but I once had a memorable night at a party (w33d) where I really vibed on Black and Blue. Now I feel like maybe I should try to reevaluate Goat's Head and Only R&R.

B and B has Memory Motel on it right? Untouchable
― calstars, Wednesday, 16 September 2020 22:38 (three years ago) link
Yep. B&B is my favorite b/w Exile and Some Girls, but, egads, "Hot Stuff" and "Hey Negrita."

you're right, i always forget about that one, which is a true step down.
― i got a homogenic björk wine farmer permabanned (voodoo chili), Wednesday, 16 September 2020 22:44 (three years ago) link
Yeah, Memory Motel was the track that really hit me at that party. Had somehow never heard it until 1990-something. (many xp)
― Orson Well Yeah (Dan Peterson), Wednesday, 16 September 2020 22:45 (three years ago) link
honestly, i prefer the loose emotionalism of b&b to the sludgy hedonism of goat's head.
― i got a homogenic björk wine farmer permabanned (voodoo chili), Wednesday, 16 September 2020 22:46 (three years ago) link
egads, "Hot Stuff" and "Hey Negrita."
I love both of these, gtfo.

B&B is so well engineered. It sounds great, especially the Virgin remaster.
― TikTok to the (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Wednesday, 16 September 2020 22:48 (three years ago) link
There's almost a whole good album divided between It's Only Rock 'n' Roll and Black & Blue. I'd probably sequence it like this:
Side A"It's Only Rock 'n' Roll (But I Like It)""Ain't Too Proud to Beg""Time Waits for No One""Fingerprint File"
Side B"Dance Little Sister""Hand of Fate""Fool to Cry""Crazy Mama"

“hot stuff” is sweet, great openerI do love those Rolling Stones and their music
― brimstead, Wednesday, 16 September 2020 23:01 (three years ago) link
For the life of me, I'll never understand what people like about the drippy "Fool to Cry" ("Crazy Mama" and "Memory Motel" are decent, though).
― A White, White Gay (cryptosicko), Wednesday, 16 September 2020 23:05 (three years ago) link
"Crazy Mama" is an example of why I love Jagger on electric rhythm guitar.
― TikTok to the (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Wednesday, 16 September 2020 23:27 (three years ago) link
I love this album even thought it's considered the end of a magical run from 68-72. Listening to it, I was thinking about similar albums by other artists. Thinking of a poll, but right now just compiling a list (mostly dinosaur acts):
The Rolling Stones - Goats Head SoupLed Zeppelin - PresenceBlack Sabbath - Sabbath Bloody SabbathThe Beatles - Let It BeCCR - Pendulum
Would Erotica fit in here? A Prince album?
Is this on some level the battle of the New Jersey's? Idk.

There are probably Pavement and Stereolab albums that fit in here too.

I thought CCR's "Pendulum" was still rightfully considered part of their great run of albums (despite "Rude Awakening #2"). Mardi Gras really signaled the end, a great double-sided single buried amidst dull and uninspired music.

Yes, but, I'm sure there is some Bon Jovi fan somewhere saying that's what New Jersey is.
Otoh, I'm not sure anyone is voting for New Jersey when you put it together in a poll with Presence.
