What has become of music? These guys could do this while strung out.

No one could do it now - sober, w/ an athletic trainer, voice coach, guitar filters, auto tune, and on and on.

Come on man. Ronnie Wood was born to be a Rolling Stone. I think Rod Stewart is playing old folks homes now.

What I’m saying is that a guy like Mick Taylor lifted the Stones to another level, easily their best level musically.

Ron Wood is good, don’t get me wrong, but the Stones haven’t grown with him in the band. They’ve just become a cover band of themselves - not a bad thing, but they haven’t come up with anything new that’s memorable since their Some Girls album (1978), and that’s being generous.

And I never said anything about Wood staying with Stewart. Although if he did, I think Stewart would have stayed more rock/blues. Stewart and Wood together were rather special, IMHO.

My favorite from that show is Jumping Jack Flash. The entire concert was bare-knuckles rock & roll.

"Rocks Off" (from Exile On Main Street) is my perennial favorite Stones song. This was when they were at their raunchiest and sleaziest best.

Agreed about Mick T, Ronnie, and Rod. I would push Some Girls to Emotional Rescue maybe.

Perhaps. I just hated the title track. Although, I do love the Stones’ slower, quasi-country stuff. Memory Motel (Tattoo You?) may be my favorite track of theirs (I play guitar a little and sing, and I love this song), but they rarely play it live anymore.

In the early 1970s, Anthony Burgess, author of "A Clockwork Orange," and also a composer, a film script writer, and a theatre critic, said Mick Jagger was the greatest actor he had ever seen.
