fair enough. Had "Where the boys go" been the B-side, I might have had to reconsider my membership. "Down in the hole" is good, but its not as great as Emotional rescue is bad.
Blaze away! |

Dude, do you have any idea what "soul" music is?
Isaac Hayes is soul music. James Brown is soul music. The Isley Brothers is soul music. The Four Tops is soul music. The Temptations is soul music.
emotional rescue has nothing at all to do with soul music. It's shitty disco crap. There is no way around it.....long and loses it's momentum.
well, you can TALK about soul baby, and you can even listen - but until you can PLAY james brown's sex machine with the break and all, the whah whah syncopation on shaft - and throw in the groove on the isley's that lady and work to do..... THEN you can tell me what soul is.....HA!
and disco is latin soul, so don't even go there ..
ER is not traditional soul, but it's GOT soul - and a funky bass line....wyman's finest work actually....
disco only sucked if you couldn't dance....

I agree that ER is Wyman's finest work. And not even the main riff- but during the rest of the song. That bass just makes you want to get laid. |

Ronnie Wood actually plays the bass on "Emotional rescue", not Bill. |

Dear texile,
I was in a band called Sex Machine. We always opened with Sex Machine. I AM a Sex Machine.
What were you yapping about?
Oh yeah, latin soul. LOL!!! You are funny!
Disco sucks. Even after a 1/2 gram of blow up yer schnoz.
Oh yeah, and I can dance like a mofo. Even black girls like to dance with me.
You can yip and yap all you want. The fact remains that emotional rescue is a vapid piece of second rate disco trash. It is a silly, stupid song. It brings shame to the Rolling Stones back catalogue. It has cooties.
Now, if you are telling me that you like that kind of thing...I say more power to ya. It takes all kinds. But if you are going to try to convince me of the error of my ways by saying that something like emotional rescue is "funky" or has "soul"...well, then I have to call bullshit on it.
It is simple. White people cannot do funk or soul. At least not for real. We can try, but we tend to do a white people approximation of funk or soul. It's not the real thing. When white people try to play black music we get shit like "Play That Funky Music" by Wild Cherry, or some crap by the likes of Rick Astley or Simply Red. Yeah, I'm sure there are some exceptions, there always are, but one thing is for sure...emotional rescue ain't one of those exceptions.
And ain't it funny how a post that I started as a joke now has 5 pages of replies. |

yikes - a white band named sex machine PLAYING sex machine! lol....
but can you play the bassline to dance, dance, dance by chic?
a song can have soul as in....a groove - a feeling.....even john denver has "soul" in his annie songs;
as for humor - i have tongue firmly in place cos this whole thread is funny....
ER is sublime.....
and too bad about ronnie playing bass on ER - shit ...that was the nicest thing i've ever said about wyman and now i'm back to underestimating him;
but you're right GOOD - i love how the song picks up in the middle part and just starts to BOUNCE....i always wondered how wyman could have pulled it off, but now i love ronnie even more...... |

It will be our avowed mission to destroy all vestiges of the so called "song"....emotional rescue.
First order of business. From now on ER shall no longer be capitalized. It shall for now and evermore be in small case. emotional rescue. er.

Yeah, and because we were white, and couldn't really play it right, we rocked it up. Yep. A garage version of Sex Machine. Oddly enough it was actually pretty good. But what can you do? We didn't have a horn section, and we knew we couldn't do a soul arrangement any justice. So instead of trying to fake it, and disrespect the song, we just did our own arrangement. And if you call your band Sex Machine...you HAVE to play it.
On a different tack, Ron Wood is a real good bass player. Always has been. Remember, he was Jeff Beck's bass player before he went to the Faces. You better be good if you are gonna play with Jeff Beck! Woody is a great musician. He gets slagged on by all the Taylorites, but Woody can fuckin' play. The Taylorites are just pissed that Lil' Mick T quit, so they all pick on Woody. Whatever. Woody is cool in my book. Even if he did play on er. |

Yeah, its amazing. There have been times where I have listened to ER like 5 times in a row and just been lost in the bass lines. It really is a thing of beauty. Hats off to Woody. I agree Sir Stones, he has always been a great player, and that just makes it even more of a shame that he was so bombed in the past that sometimes he just couldn't play. But when he's on, he can tear it up. He kicked ass at the VET during the licks tour. |

>He kicked ass at the VET during the licks tour.<
Yeah, I thought so too. He played a solo on the B stage about 3 inches from my nose. It was intense...and I couldn't even hear it!
But I heard it on the boot...and it was quite good. He played well that whole show. Musta been the cheese steaks.

Bullshit. I like Wood better than Taylor that's to say Wood in the late seventies. But if you think Wood is still a great musician nowadays you have shit in your ears. |

i love taylor, but i love ronnie - i think he and jagger, more than keith, MADE some girls what is is - it is his crowning stones achievment.....
and yeah GOOD - that bassline is amazing - you notice how at the beginning of the song it has that strange, almost awkward, robotic rythym - and than when jagger drops to full voice it goes into this great groove.......than it goes back - and the coda picks the groove up to the fadeout...priceless!
well, sir that's right - a rocked out version IS better than a whited-out version.....but still - it's an almost jarring thought, unless you really ARE a sex machine...than at least it would have context. |

Jarring...yeah, that woulda been a good way to describe us. We were the house band at the nastiest dive bar in town. But that place was swanky compared to us. People thought that we were dangerous. We really were 24 hour party people.
The funny thing is that we were really good. But our front man died, and one of our guitar players went to law school. So that was that. |
