Do you guys and gals think "Don't Stop" will be a staple in Stones' setlists to come or will it be like the last couple of tours were they have songs from the most recent album and just forget about it after the tour?
From what I've gathered, it's a good sing-a-long for the crowd. But is it strong enough to go on the next tour???

I thought Saint Of Me would be an anthem but no such luck. I think Don't Stop (which I like more) will meet the same fate. |

this song should be buried, buried fast!
And while they're at it maybe the could bury 'keys to your love' & 'stealing my heart' as well.
it's time to shape up and record something serious. |

I like it better than Start me Up |

But isn't "Don't Stop" a relative of "Start Me Up"? It has a chance to stay in the set for that reason. It has meaning, if you know what I mean.
A lot of people don't like "You Got Me Rocking," either, but that one keeps coming around. You have to try to at least include a couple of songs that aren't over 15 years old. |

Next tour? Nice to know that there are people with optimism.

I prefer Saint Of Me, for me it's the answer to Sympathy for the Devil as I think that in this song Mick is now more accepting for himself and he doesn't court any sympathy from anyone anymore.
I really love the Bridges to Babylon album, love Anybody Seen My Baby, Out of Control, Flip the Switch, Saint of Me, Might as well get Juiced and of course Thief in The Night.
SAINT OF ME
(Jagger/Richards)
Saint Paul the persecutor
Was a cruel and sinful man
Jesus hit him with a blinding light
And then his life began
I said yeah
I said yeah
Augustin knew temptation
He loved women, wine and song
And all the special pleasures
Of doing something wrong
I said yeah
I said yeah
I said yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
You'll never make a saint of me
Oh yeah, oh yeah
You'll never make a saint of me
And could you stand the torture
And could you stand the pain
Could you put your faith in Jesus
When you're burning in the flames
And I do believe in miracles
And I want to save my soul
And I know that I'm a sinner
I'm gonna die here in the cold
I said yes, I said yeah
I said yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
You'll never make a saint of me
Oh yeah, oh yeah
You'll never make a saint of me
Oh yeah, oh yeah
You'll never make a saint of me
Oh yeah, oh yeah
You'll never make a saint of me
I thought I heard an angel cry
I thought I saw a teardrop falling from his eye
John the Baptist was a martyr
But he stirred up Herod's hate
And Salome got her wish
To have him served up on a plate
I said yes
I said yeah
I said yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
You'll never make a saint of me
Oh yeah, oh yeah
You'll never make a saint of me
Oh yeah, oh yeah
You'll never make a saint of me
Oh yeah, oh yeah
You'll never make a saint of me
I thought I heard an angel cry
I thought I saw a teardrop falling from his eye
I thought I saw an angel cry
You'll never make a saint of me
You'll never make a saint of me

I remember when I first heard Saint Of Me.
It was Tuesday and the boss made everybody stay late that night because of the 3rd quarter udate we had to do.
Got home around 1200 AM, popped open a nice bottle of wine, and sucked it right out of the bottle whilst on my way to the 24 hour Wal*mart to get Bridges. I must have played SOM 30 times and felt so alive and that anything was possible! It was so fucking good.
I stayed up until 4:30 that night, woke up at 6, went back to work, then came home and did it all over again... |

Have you seen the video to it? Oh My God, Mick looks so gorgeous in that! I love the way Keith is using a sink to prop his leg up so he can rest his guitar on it in the background. I think Saint of Me should definitely have been a staple song like Satisfaction, I think we can pretty much forget Honky Tonk Women, not one of my faves I must say, always skip Country Honk as it's called on the Let it Bleed album.
I have an idea for a new topic, your fantasy set list, listing 20 songs. |

Yeah, it's too bad they didn't play things like Saint Of Me much, this tour. I think B2B was a pretty strong album, with lots of good songs. Funny coincidence, anyway, because I had just put that album in the CD-player before logging into the board today!  I like Don't Stop a lot, too. Good singalong tune, nice solo from Ronnie, and as for the lyrics... Vintage Mick! 
"The way you bit my lip and you drew first blood
It warmed my cold, cold heart
And you wrote your name right on my back
Boy, your nails were sharp
But don't stop
Honey, don't stop!" |

"Don't Stop" a anthem? Yeah at least for a few more months then gone like a much better "love is strong". I loved Saint of Me and thought for sure it would be a hit and a classic. I don't know if this has even has a thing to do with it but Keith had not a thing to do with it. Didn't co-write it or even play on it. The single from Steel Wheals was good also I thought. Why these songs die on the vine is a intersting question. As for "Don't Stop" put me down in the it's horrid column. Wimp pop rock with horrid lyrics. Who is playing the guitars on that one the boys from "The Knack". |

A song they should play it Too Tight. I cranked that song up in my car earlier today and it was great. |

Stones should write another primal blues anthem...like they use to! They can still pull it out... |

Egon, are you a Bran Van 3000 fan? |

Don't Sto[ isn't strong enough to be an anthem..... it will fade into oblivion. |

I danced with Linda
I danced with Jean
I danced with Cindy
Then I suddenly see .............
Mary-Anne with the shaky hands
What they've done to her man
Those shaky hands
Mary is so pretty
The prettiest in the land
Guys come from every city
Just to shake her shaky hands
Linda can cook
Jean reads books
Cindy can sew
But I'd rather know ...............
Mary-Anne with the shaky hands
What they've done to her man
Those shaky hands

What makes you think I have great taste? hehehe
Mick and Keith can do things on their own and still sound top quality.
Sympathy for The Devil was all Mick wasn't it? |

The words and the melody are all Mick, but in the studio, Keith changed the rythm to a samba groove (it was a kind of folk song ala Bob Dylan in the beginning). Which, of course, completely changed the "feel" of the song.
For a classic song that Mick wrote on his own: Brown Sugar. And Keith wrote Gimme Shelter pretty much on his own.
