I get that Stones not the lead guitar band, but that 'weave' thing is just not working out for me sorry. I think it makes Keith sound kind of lazy, not the rhythm machine he was in pre-Ron era. That's my perception. I just can't dig sloppiness.
And I should say the albums are ok, it's the live shows I have a problem with. There is really no edge, except of course Mick Jagger. Mick is doing all the work basically. Also the absence of Bill Wyman made it even worse! He had such a presence sonically. So all we have now is nostalgia and Mick

I got that album when it came out, but it has never been a favourite. Nice solo, though.

Just found out today that it's Jimmy Page playing the solo on this one. (Where have I been?)

Phil, they were perfectly capable of soloing over that piece. They just thought it would be fun to have their friend JP do the honours. His solo is nothing special, certainly nothing the lads weren't capable of doing themselves. Nothing sad about it at all.

good lord...50+ years of "its only rock & roll"
the soundtrack to many lives...I can not even imagine how much they have traveled .. how many concerts..
Jagger has kept himself in great shape..
Keith gets alot of bad press about his habits ..but I loved when he did his own band XPensive Winos...I then realized Keith IS the Rolling Stones
Ron Woods is a much better artist than a guitarist..
say what we will...they are still working..
Ladies and Gentlemen,,,,,,,The Rolling Stones

The stones are perhaps in a category of very rare rock band. That is bands who are driven by the rhythm guitar and not the drums. The bands I’m thinking of are the who, Ac/dc and Metallica. It’s possible the stones are in this.
