Listening to SAL sampler. The title track and SFTD are awful! Same with JJF and SHe Was HOt! He has no power in his voice. I also can't stand the fact that he still sings "Hope you GEP my name" during SFTD. You'd think for a lvie album released to the public he'd be able to properly pronounce words. "Gep" isn't a word in any language that I know of. His voice was strong early on in the Bang tour, then it went to crap in Europe. Embarassing! I also hate when his voice goes really low to sing certain parts of song. Sadly, he sounds nasally and old. Please don't use the excuse that he still sounds good for his age. That may be true, but it's NOT good enough to do justice to the songs he sings.

I agree with you. Fact is he focuses more on being a frontman/hypeman than he does on his singing. He doesn't have enough wind in him to sing strongly AND jump around like a madman.
It's the same with Keith and Ronnie. They would play A LOT better if they just stood still during the whole show and concentrated on playing guitar instead of interacting with the crowd. That's something that differentiates the Stones from other really old rock n' roll bands. While other bands concentrate on making their shows sound as good as possible, the Stones concentrate on showing the audience the time of their lives.
Frankly, I prefer it this way. |

If you want correct English pronunciation, better go put on some more Journey.....cause you know, they're way more rock 'n roll than the Stones are.
Seriously, your comment about pronunciation is retarded. It makes me wonder if you've ever listened to the Stones at all.

I think Streets Of Love is enough with the over-pronounciation.
no thanx |

What's retarded about it?? The verse is "hope you guess/ed my name" not "gep". It sounds silly. Gep is not a word. Is it that hard to say guess or guessed as opposed to gep. I think that is stupid or as you put it, retarded. I don't know why you overeact and bring Journey into this. When did I say the Stones didn't rock?!?!? SheeseH! A little sensitive are we? |

You're criticizing the man who wrote the lyrics to "You can't always get what you want" because of how he pronounces the lyrics?
You, sir, are a first class WANKER!!

I understand not liking the mans voice, but criticing the way he pronounces a word, that is just weird. |

He's not singing "Gep." It's "Geh," like Howlin' Wolf. |

I don't hear the "geh" in Howlin' Wolf.
Wolfgeh?
Is it a silent "geh"...?

I wonder where that voice comes from, certainly never heard him like that on record or audience tapes, it's at its strangest on SAL in fact, so "airy"...odd |

This is the man who got famous singing "drive my 'magilation" and "tryin' to plake some girl" 40 years ago. He geps a pass! |
|

I see your points, but its not that he is a terrible live singer. I think that at times he gets so caught up in performing that isn't really focused on singing. He was actually pretty good during forty licks and a bigger bang. |

You should hear some of the mid 70s shows, then... |

Yeah, Gazza, that was my first thought, too. A fuckload better than the Love You Live arena sides in terms of enunciation, and I rather like the part of SFTD when he keeps saying "TEDDY BEAR".

It's a case of Mick attempting to preserve his voice. Much harder on the vocal cords to pronounce certain consonants--I assume his vocal coach has given him some suggestions for making a few substitutions in order to ease the strain on his vocal cords.
The mid-70's Gazza?? oh boy, I think that was merely being "under the influences" and doing back to back to back shows. |

I think that the "gep" we're referring to is actually "GET" or "GIT" and not "GUESS".
Mick can mess with the words a bit. It still works just as well.
If you don't like Jagger's singing, then don't listen! |

I'm not so sure its that simple, Luxy.
Mick learned to 'pace himself' a lot better from around 1989 onwards. Its reflected on a more consistent performance level from that time onwards, whereas on any given night before that he could end up sounding knackered and winded after concentrating more on running around and wiggling his arse for about two hours.

Yeah that used to be half the fun. Deciphering the lyrics to find out just what the hell he was sayin', this is before the internet had it all laid out. I listened to stuff like that 70's live stuff for years before I came close to figuring out what on earth Jagger was on about. Part of it, of course, is affected accents of southern blacks, cockney, and jamaican patois and probably a number of other sources all mashed up to create Jagger's unique phrasing. Some of it probably just Quualudes and brandy. (to wit: Shattered = Shabber). I'm sure we've all got our pet peeves when it comes to the live stuff (one of mine is IORR never gets the groove right), so Gepgate falls into that category I'd say. That said, I get a chuckle thinking of all the places you could put Gep in a Stones song. |

well, i suppose his singing is lower than the 70's when he could reach the high notes - see lower octave singing in recent versions of Rocks Off and most other songs |
