TheSavageYoungXyzzy Uhhh... is it just me, or does this remix suck?

First off, taking out the drums, the heart and soul of the original, and replacing them with this horrid noise... no good! No good!

And secondly... right before "Just as every cop is a criminal", they completely rewrite the backing track. As in, it switches to a minor key. And then there're strings.

I think it deserves a hearty round of whathfaaaaahk.

If you're gonna make a dance remix of "Sympathy For The Devil", be smart. Find the good parts of the song and leave them there or turn them up a bit. Then find the bits that're kind've dead air and replace them.

So what does that leave you?

The original. Turned up louder.

-tSYX --- So if you remix me, have some courtesy. Have some sympathy, AND SOME TASTE...

egon and it was the stones' (i.e. mick's) own idea!!

savage, what do you mean by; find the bad bits?
bad bits... in sympathy??!! i do not think so.

most fans will hate this mix,
and it's not 'hip' enough for the kids.

just a waste of time.

That was kind of the point. I said "In a remix, you take the bits that aren't absolutely awesome and make them better, and turn up the good bits so they're louder. So a real remix of "Sympathy" would be the version from Beggar's Banquet, only louder."

-tSYX --- Might as well get juiced...
