WOW, such hatred of a body of work, from the Rolling Stones, The greatest. Nothing will satisfied the fans of this untouchable greatest rockin roll band
in the history of the art, or non art. "Get over it" and listen to it for what it is, MUSIC. Beer Thank you. By the way I'll listen again for the ? time. I will like it.
Unless the pain in my jar let's up, than I'll love it, but I'm sure I'll like it. |

I always have mixed emotions about ABB. I can't quite wrap my head around it. I just do.
ER is a good album, IMO. I'll spin that record 100 times before I would ABB! The guitars and drums (rhythm) are great. |

if you really, really want to know how bad ABB is... Then listen to U2's How To Dismantle An Atmoic Bomb, and realize that this album blows ABB away... How sucky is that? Very Sucky!
You should be careful, you must have really cool music to listen to after doing this experiment, or you may be convinced U2 is actually good.... |

You nailed it, U2's last album is mediocre at best but it has 2 or 3 strong cuts that blows away anything off ABB. City Of Blind Lights and Original Of The Species are clear examples, these tracks are better than all the songs from ABB together.
Take note: I hate U2 except a few songs and maybe Atchung Baby. |

I'll give it a spin tonight (been almost a year since last listen) but am not very optimistic - feel that ABB has for the most part a "forced" feel to it - would much prefer a slower, more soulful approach as things wind down for them. I like B2B for that reason, even though some of the techno touches seemed a bit forced as well. At any rate, ABB got a lot of play for me when it came out and I don't regret having bought it even if the contents didn't quite live up to the hype IMO - it was cool to have something new from the band to look forward to. |

Ok. Why do I keep hearing a reference to Emotional Resque when talking about ABB? It doesn't sound like it or give that vibe.
As an album I think ABB is much, much, better. Even LOADS better than ER.
Ian
LOL
Rescue got fun and great songs unlike ABB.
You can hear a band, I mean a real band..not a band with a guitar player called Jagger, a bass player called Jagger and a singer called Jagger as well.
You can also hear on ER something called creativity...guitar solos, amazing bass lines, Indian Girl, Punk songs, a majestic groove on Dance and ER.
If ABB was so good the Stones would play much songs live from this record.
But may be the members of the band should learn to play the songs of the boss.
My 2 cents for ABB: "What a drag it is getting old". |

i think i can remember keith richards saying one time...i like to get all they guys in one room and play..that's how i like to record. i don't think this happened with a bigger bang. i wonder if the cd would have been better had he had all the fellas in one room recording this?
maybe he sould practice this method again next [hopefully next] time.
get that eyeball to eyeball thing going again. |

My Dear fireontheplatter. What you just described is exactly how A Bigger Bang was recorded....
>See Micks house in France: Most of ABB was recorded in a room there. Even Charlie likes the room and it's sound. There was no major studio this time around when it came to recording the album for the most part. The album was mostly recorded in a room at Micks mansion in France.
This is not speculated. It is documented, and stated by the members in the group, and also shown on ABB DVD edition.

..yes, but without Ronnie
..and during part of the demos stage, without Charlie either. |

Recorded with no bass player and no lead guitarist.
We're far from the times they used to jam for hours to record, where everybody carried ideas.They did their best
records by working like that.Today Mick is the leader,but somethin is missed.
See some girls sessions , EOMS or ER sessions:Jewels,fantastic blues tunes,really dug into ideas.The spirit of our fav band is here.
For ABB they sold us this idea of the hardcore spirit.
More a lack of inspiration IMHO.

Yeah, but it's music THAT I DON'T LIKE. How the hell do you just "get over" that?
Are you suggesting that I have to like ABB simply because it was put out by The Rolling Stones and it is music? That is nonsense.
The Stones put out plenty of albums that I do like. I'll listen to those. Got a problem with that? |

NO, no problem! Back off and hear me out. You know I understand The Passion, and some of you guys I apologies for sayin get over it, cause you can't, cause it's to important to you. That's great, but Butt BUTT It's not that bad is it. UFUCKING 2 compared to the Stones give me a break. I mean get over it IT"S ONLY rock N roll. When I have a chance I'm going to listen to it and break it down and compare it to my favorite RnR album of all time.
there are really good parts and ................Sorry to say......... |

You know I reread what I wrote and it does come off as IT's THe Stones You got to like it. That is not what I meant. Don't ever get over it, it's not just music. |

I agree I like it I don't love it But I don't Hate it. MY opinion I miss spoke when I said GET OVER IT. I go back over these post and I see "Longer Been Here" people Than I , Some Like It Some Hate it. I say we, put it to the count again. Yes or No, type thing Yes Meaning it's acceptable, No Meaning it's pure Shit.
I'm Betting As I have Stated That the Yes will win, Which By the way means nothing. The more does not mean it's right or wrong now does it.

I realize not everyone's going to love it but the surprise comes when people say that it doesn't rock much. I just played the 1st half on my drive home & I still love it. |

I've always loved 'let me down slow' from the first time i played ABB all the way thru. Was hoping it would be the next single.. |

great idea!!!! sorry i missed this last week. I have not heard a single track from this one in a few months now. I will add that i do not like "we don't wanna go home" but "under the radar" would have been a great first track. i love that track.

I had Under The Radar come on my iPod last night, right of Dylans Masters Of War. a young girl in my cab asked who it was that was playing, I said it's The Stones. She was like Wow, and then commented about classic rock. I told her it was fairly new and kindly told her classic rock, was a bullshit genre, mislabeled and with no real defining aspects. Under the radar is the best tune of ABB, that isn't on ABB. |
|
|
| Sir Stonesalot |
I think that I read somewhere that "classic rock" is based solely on chronology of the artist. Literally ANYTHING in the rock/pop genre can be "classic rock" as long as the artist has enuff years under the belt.
For instance...The Clash are now "classic rock".
It don't get much stupider than that. |

labels and genre's are just plain stupid
but I gotta say that the labels 'psychobilly' and "hellbilly' sound cool as shit |

the whole point of this album , (leaving aside that it was clearly just a foil for the tour, and to get out of the virgin contract) is that its supposed to sound like a demo kind of rough and unfinished few of the songs went beyond 5 takes. 2 of the songs on the album are the 2nd takes!!!
i like it, ot all of it but some of it - infamy particularly, but maily beacuse it evolved so well on stage - that cannot be said for rough justice or ONNYA

'Infamy' was indeed a song I normally skip on the album, but which was quite good when played live.
Rough Justice and ONNYA basically evolved into the same song when played live to the point where they even became interchangeable in the set at times without being noticed. At more than one show (Rio being an example I think), Keith even started playing the intro to the wrong song before Chuck reminded him he'd already played it an hour earlier.
No wonder some folks referred to it as "Oh No, Not Rough Justice Again" |

And that, Gazza, is why I'm not crazy about either one of those songs. Any album pre-Steel Wheels...those songs are filler.
If what OldKR says is true, and I have no reason to disbelieve him, then The Stones did indeed execute their idea well.
It was just a terrible idea. Probably one of those things that looks good on paper, but doesn't work when put in practice. |

I did not care for Infamy live or recorded...a b side rocker if ever there was one...Keith eventually dropped it for BTMMR....It's a shame how boring Keith's set has become over the years....what was once a great time, has turned into a bit of an embarrassment ... |
