That honour IMO belongs to the absolute gem that is 'Hate It When You Leave'. He hasnt reached those heights since (arguably he did with Almost Hear You Sigh, but only with Mick's help)
'999' is a beezer, though. A riff so violent it tears your head off, shits down your throat and then kicks your bollocks into your stomach for good measure.

WOW!!! You really feel strongly about this, Gazza!!..The visualization of your statement actually causes one to experience pain.
Would gut-wrentching be a good term?
999 is a good song...but listening to it does not cause me that much discomfort |

I think 7 or 8 from his first solo work knock socks off this 999 song. Heck, even Whip It Up is better! |

999 pistol whips the piss out of the panzy-ass Beatle tune. Stomps on it and destroys it. Levels the crap out of it like the onslaught in the beach bombing scene in Apocolypse Now!
999 is a mighty beast. A musical tour-de-force. A rock-n-roll blitzkreig! Crank it up and get the fuck out of the way |

Well, I must agree that 999 is better than any Rutles tune. Of that, there can be no doubt. Quite frankly, Joey, I'm worried about you. |

soooo true...evidence of back when Keith still remembered how to rock
When I first came here I had lyrics from 999 in my sig
"Yea, my time exploded, space blew up
Need something in my dixie cup"

If you took the best of MO & WS, you'd have an album that would knock the balls off VL, and let's not even mention the VL outtakes themselves. The Stones could've made VL into one helluva an album in 94. Instead we get sharks will cry, suck on the testicle and dumfucks together.
Imagine what could've been and cry...alot
999 should've been a Stones song, is MORE a Stones song than anything they've recorded in two decades. Nice lyrics too, guess was Keith was jonesin' for a little brown sugah when he scribbled those. 999 is the equivalent of 911 in U.S. |

Thing is, as ballsy as that song is - I just cant imagine a) Mick singing it and b) the Stones doing a version that would sound better

good points...especially considering Don Was would've been producing it, but it would've been nice to hear charlie drumming on it. vocally maybe with mick and keith could've shared the mic sorta like they did on the "I Need You" outtake. |

LMAO. I don't know what a "beezer" is (and frankly, I'm afraid to ask), but the rest of that description is fuckin' priceless.

999 is an absolute monster of a riff, but goes on too long and lead's nowhere. The gems on Talk Is Cheap are Hate It When You Leave and Running Too Deep. |
