Wow. Even though I'm a long-time Stones fan, I just picked up 'Let it Bleed.' What an underrated album! 'Gimme Shelter' is a great opener--this should have been an anthem of the 60s! 'Love in Vain' is okay even though it's a little too "reggae" to me. 'Country Honk?' Kewl--I can't believe they did a version of 'Honky Tonk Women' that long ago! I think that I like the new version that first appeared on '40 Licks' better though.
I was shocked to learn that Ronnnie wasn't on this album. My Cousin Joe told me that Woody was in a band with Rod Stewart around this time and after. I don't know if I should believe him because I can't see Woody playing all those old standards. Plus, Joe is a little burnt-out, if you know what I mean.
'Midnight Rambler' might be my favorite. I hope that they remix it like 'Sympathy' and 'Rubberneckin' so that I can dance to it while out clubbin!' That would be kewl! |

RE-discovering?!
1st sticky fingers and now let it bleed...
WTF?
these 2 records should never, i repeat NEVER, be more than 0.5 meters away from your cd player. at least 1, but prefferably both, should always be in your car and you must have back up copies just in case the house burns down.
If you have to re-discover these diamonds than you're doing something very very wrong.

And hopefully you are talking about the remastered version of Let It Bleed. Even without SACD equipment, that disc is absolutley incredible. Worth every penney. |

I am saving Let It Bleed for a full blown, no one else home, drunkenslobberchibathon!
Let It Bleed must be played loud (I always follow the instructions on the album) and it is one of their best when rip-roarin' blasted!
Maybe tonite!

One of the reasons I had to re-discover Sticky Fingers was that it was lodged between Exile and... yeah, Let It Bleed.
THIS RECORD SHOULD BE PLAYED LOUD!
Truer words were never spoken. "Gimme Shelter"... oh, man. Words can't describe it. And it just keeps going from there.
Let It Bleed is one of those albums where I feel guilty about skipping a track.

PS: I WAS JUST KIDDING WHEN I POSTED THIS GODDAMN THREAD!
I bought my first 'Let it Bleed' back in '79 while at the ripe old age of 15! I kind of miss having music sequenced for two sides . . . ! |

Let it Bleed is maybe the most important Stones album. It pretty much ended the whole 60's hippie generation of thinking(with 'Gimme Shelter" alone), and then gave us so much more great sounds that would follow the Stones through the 70's. (question-is 'Let it Bleed' the first Stones album that Mick Taylor appears on?) |

No wonder. Listen to the live 1969 tour shows, and subsequent 1970-73 shows to get the real gist/flavor/feel of the songs on Let It Bleed.
The one-guitarist versions found on Let It Bleed are great
beginnings - but pale in comparison to incredible versions
performed live during the next five live Rolling Stones' years.
Plus the joke-versions of the Let It Bleed songs performed
with Ron Wood these past 25+ years, might also be considered
for comparison. Gotcha. |
