Sonny Rollins Waiting on a Friend, from far, but I'm not a saxofone fan, actually. Of course Bobby Keys is huge too, but I dont' care too much no. It seems to me sax doens't match with rock...
What do you think?

jazz legend Wayne Shorter's solo at the end "How Can I Stop" is just INSANE!!! Its blistering. So emotional and powerful - esp against Charlies manic cymbal crashing.
hands down the best.

Too long, at least for my taste. I wish that song were a little shorter... |

Brown Sugar is the quintessential R&R sax solo IMO. |

What are you guys talking about? Yeah, those jazz guys are fantastic - I liked Josh Redmon's take on "Waiting For A Friend" also - but the best sax solo EVER, at least in a poll on a STONES board, can be found in Brown Sugar. Bobby Keys' solo is etched on the entire world's brain. It's iconic. |

Exactly, young Joey. It's the Johnny Carson of sax solos! Sure, Dick Cavett was smarter, Conan O'Brien's a lot funnier...but Johnny was the icon.
We won't even mention Joey Bishop. |

Out of all of them , it was Joey Bishop who most fervently gave Johnny a run for his money ( circa 1967 - 1972 ) .
The skinny Nebraskan defeated him too !!!!!
I believe Joey Bishop is still alive .....No ?!?!?!

Sonny Rollins on "Slave" (his work on Tattoo You is the best on any Stones album)
As a matter of taste, I actually prefer Mel Collins' work on the "Some Girls" and "Emotional Rescue" albums to Bobby Keys' style of playing...especially on "Dance"/"If I Was A Dancer".. |

Well, he's about 87 so it's close. I never knew he was from the Bronx. That makes him extra good. |

I have to give Sway credit for that one. Wayne Shorter did really kick ass on How Can I Stop. I actually wish there were a little more from him though instead of just bringing him out for the end of the song. the way it is the album kind of ends in the hands of Keith(which I'm amazed enough has become a formula by now) Wayne Shorter, Charlie and Bernard; or as most people know them; not the Rolling Stones. never quite sat right with me even though I think its arguably the strongest track on the album, and a great song to end on. as I've said before Bridges to Babylon would've been better off a Keith solo album leaving Out of Control as a holdover for a Stones record. I'm sure Keith could come up with better lyrics for Flip the Switch than what it got. sorry, end tangent.
personally I have to give it to Brown Sugar and Waiting on a Friend. getting Sonny Rollins for Tattoo You was really cool, but I really think Bobby Keys is a perfect fit for the Stones |

man- i saw Phish open a legendary two night stand at Hampton Coliseum with a SICK cover of ER. They took it into a nice long funky jam...
no good reason why the stones never made this a "warhorse." |

Waiting on a friend is killer. The sax on that is ART!!!
I also liked the sounds Ernie Watts gave on the vid for the 81 tour. The "honks" on Just my imagination are superb.
Here's a question i never thought about. Did he play on the 82 Euro tour? |

The Wainting On A Friend one is the best, but i like the one in Coming Down Again a lot too.
It may not be a "solo", but I really love that "den dan dan, dan den den" in the end of Tumblin` Dice.

Great idea for a thread Jair!
Although I adore Bobby Key's sax on Brown Sugar, I'm going to have to go for his playing on Live With Me |

There`s another great to me, the one in Casino Boogie, that always makes me play air sax. |

First off let me respond to the initial post re Sax not being fit to rock. Quite the contrary mon ami. It's one of the cornerstones in Rockmusic. A cool honking Tenor is vital. The Stones have some superb horncharts thru the years "I got the Blues", and especially the exhuberant horns at the end of "Rocks Off'.
I also very much liked it whem they had the horns in 71 on "Stray Cat" and "Love In Vain".
The solo in "Brown Sugar" by Bobby is the archtype of all Rock Saxsolos Followed closely by "Can't you hear me knockin". Sonny Rollins was superb on "Slave". In "Friend" he staretd with Jagger's falsetto line and took it to dizzying heights.
IMO I HATED Ernie Watts in 81. He had no cooth, no subtlety. He NEVER shut up.
As I Type I am hearing in my head Bobby's entrance on "Live with mne", "Casino Boogie" and "Rip This Joint". Bobby has this classic way of sliding into the fray. he arrives with a bang. A bit ahead of the count. he starts blowing to check in on the 'one' already at full steam.

Ernie's solo on 'Let it Bleed' at Hampton in '81 is one of my favorites. |

The sax on Waiting On A Friend is just pure genius. Enough said.
The solo on Brown Sugar isn't even a solo really. It's integrated in the song... it plays like a guitar riff. Maybe the best ever in a rock song.
Finally the end on HCIS is magical as well... truly a classic song in it's own right.. |
