When you hear tumblin dice after not listening to it for a while, its brilliance just hits you again and that riff has to be one my favourite in music. |

Exactly. Even Linda Ronstadt couldn't ruin that song. TD & HTW & JJF are their 3 best. |

The riffing starting at around 2:02 minutes into the song is beyond belief, how did they do this?, as is the way Charlie picks up the tempo. Their best song - its perfect, nothing will ever touch it. |

love the way keith comes in with the "keep on rolling" line in response to "you gotta to roll me" from those divine female backing vocals
pure bliss and as good a rush as i've ever gotten from any drug |

The whole song is a pleasure.
Interseting story about this song, see Jagger's interview on Rolling Stone during 1995:
Who wrote "Tumbling Dice"?
[Laughs] Keith and me. I wrote the lyrics.
And he did the groove?
Yeah. It comes back to that thing where I really don't remember who had the melody or not, but it doesn't really matter.
Why does that beat grab you so quick?
I don't really know what people like about it. I don't think it's our best stuff. I don't think it has good lyrics. But people seem to really like it, so good for them. |

I definately wasnt too thrilled with the way they played it on the LICKS tour, but overall it is by far my favorite of the War Horses. I never get tired of this one. |
