Yes, I agree that ABB is a return to basics! |

Yes, ABB did mark a return to the more traditional Stones sound, too bad it didn't do better sales wise. Its just a different time now and their brand of raw rock and blues just don't sell anymore. If they put out Some Girls or Tattoo You right now, the sales would probably be similar sadly. |

I agree it should have been on Live Licks. Every tour has a few non-warhorse songs that stick out. Bridges had the new tunes plus Little Queenie, Last Time, Wanna Hold You and Sister Morphine. Licks included If You Can't Rock Me, Rambler,Knocking, Love Train and Don't Stop. It would have cool to have the other four besides CHYMK on Live Licks. |

If You Can't Rock Me was a bonus track on the Japanese version if you can find that one. |

I love Don't Stop. Still play it, best thing they have done in many, many years.
I didn't know Mick was a huge NBA fan, but that's great. Just another reason I love the dude. And I agree that it's the best thing they've done in many years. It rivals pretty much anything post-Some Girls in my book.

I've heard he was an NBA fan but I've yet to see which teams he likes. |

it did have that Keef signature guitar, and had the patented Mick "chanting break" (See I go Wild). It did the job of being a new song to feature while on the road. I do think it should be played at about the frequency of Love is Strong though. |

I like it, best song of the new ones on 40 licks. The video was horrible. |

Yes, it the best of the new ones on there, I'd like to hear the rest of the songs they recorded during those sessions. I heard they did lots of good uptempo stuff in the summer of 02, but they just put the 4 most commercial sounding songs on Licks as it was a hits package. |

They did pick the worst songs off ABB to use as singles. The true singles are Rough Justice and ONNYA as those two made it into the set list nearly every night while SOL was never played once. |

While I agree SOL and BM were poor choices for singles, I think RFD is a very good song, and not a bad choice for a single. While RJ and ONNYA are the true singles, RFD definitely has a place, albeit maybe not as the second single. Some of my friends who are casual Stones fans liked RFD alot when ABB first came out, and one of them who I went to the PNC Park show with expressed his desire to see it performed live that night. As it turns out, he missed it by about a month. |

True, RFD was the best of the three actual singles, and the only single from ABB they actually played live. Singles they've put out since 1981 don't make it into their set list all that often. From Steel Wheels, if they do anything from it live its Keith's "Slipping Away", from Voodoo Lounge its "You Got Me Rockin'", from Bridges To Babylon its "Out Of Control", from ABB its RJ, ONNYA and TPIE. None of those songs from the past 4 albums are singles and its the ones they play most often live.

Break The Spell, you are absolutely right. I don't mind it that way either. Who cares if they are singles or not, as long as they are good tunes, esp. when played live. Hell, Sympathy wasn't a single and it's arguably their best song ever.
PS - I thought YGMR was a single. I could be wrong. |

The official singles off VL were Love Is Strong and Out Of Tears. YGMR has just been played with so much regularity that it seems as though it was a single, but I can understand why, its a good live song that gets the crowd into it. |

YGMR was actually the 2nd single released from Voodoo Lounge
In order :
Love is strong (promo video was the 'Stones as giants' one)
YGMR (live footage from the official Giants Stadium video that was sold at the shows with the studio version dubbed on)
Out of tears (video filmed in Cleveland with lots of rain)
I Go Wild (video filmed in Mexico) |

YGMR, Out of Control and Rough Justice were all singles (although SOL was the "non US" single)
Out Of Control was the 3rd BTB single. The first two were Anybody seen My Baby and Saint of Me.

I own the I Go Wild Single...has four versions of the song on there and has not been listened to since the day I bought it, aside from the live version. |

I've yet to see the video for YGMR. Was there one for Out Of Control?? And I thought SOL was the official first single with RJ as the b-side, or was it meant to be a double A-side??
[Edited by Break The Spell] |

RJ/SOL was a kind of double A-side (although how you have an "A" side on a CD single has never been explained). Rough Justice was promoted more in the US as the single, whereas in other countries (most notably in Europe) it was Streets of Love.
Yeah, there was a video for Out of Control - it has the same idea as the promos for YGMR - the studio recording dubbed over concert footage. Its not bad actually. was released in time for the 1998 European tour. Sold about 3 copies, and I think I bought two of them. Theres a couple of remixes of OOC on it, one of which as I recall is pretty good by the standards of that kinda thing.
Do you remember when the Stones 'appeared' in an episode of "Beverly Hills 90210" during the Voodoo Lounge tour? They built a storyline around some of the kids going to see the Stones show at the Rosebowl and they showed a few clips of Not fade away and You got me rocking. The footage however is from the Giants Stadium show which was available for purchase at the VL shows. The video for the YGMR used the same footage but obviously the music wasnt "live".
I Go Wild was released as the 4th VL single in time for the European tour. Made top 30 in the UK as I recall. As Pug says it has 4 versions, including a good live version if I remember right, from Miami 93 and a decent remix by Scott Litt.

Thanks for the info, never knew OOC was ever a single, not many copies of it must have been pressed. Yes, I do remember that 90210 episode, I liked when the dad was rocking out to YGMR and IORR, I also remember the Not Fade Away live part. The one female chracter (can't recall her name, I wasn't a 90210 fan) said something like "let's see what all this Stones hype is about".

I cant believe how much people have changed their tune over the past year or so.
