I'm just listening to the extra songs from the Voodoo Lounge sessions and it seems the Stones had a lot of fun playing some good blues music.
Here are the songs I found on my "singles" collection from 1994:
"Jump On Top Of Me"
"I'm Gonna Drive"
"The Storm"
�So Young"
I just don't know if my list is complete... Can someone help ? Thanks ! |

Whoa, that's rock'n'roll writing!  Ladies and gentlemen, for your pleasure and for the information of the French-speaking minority, I'll try my hand at a translation...
"Chais pas pour les autres mais "Jump on top of me", �a fait bouger des p'tains de trucs inconnus de l'humanit�... P'tains de trucs dans une autre dimension... Les mecs de l'ombre et tout �a, merde alors... Bon sang, c'est fort!"

Actually "So Young" dates back to the 77/78 sessions and only has new vocals by Mick that he recorded at the Record Plant in December 1993 with 5 other tracks (Fiji Jim was another one) from the 70s for inclusion as bonus tracks on the remastered Virgin CDs they had lined up for 1994 but they got lazy and just stuck to the original tracklisting.
Ther other bonuses (Drive, Jump) are just play by numbers blues tracks (except The Storm maybe) and they probably might as well have not bothered! I think they were trying to push singles sales... |

Some people never fuggin happy, I'm damn gald they did bother, I think they all kick ass, they sound great have a great bluesy drive, I couldn't ask for anything more. I think the 4 aforementioned tracks are better than anything on on VL, and I love VL. |

Scottfree i'm with you.
I like VL, but if "jump on top of me" and one or two of the others had been on VL instead of some of VL's filler songs, I'd have loved it.
what a waste of a good songs, but its all good. |

The Storm? Should've been on the album. I love Voodoo Lounge, but it could have been even better, and that's a song that could've made it so. So Young and Jump On Top of Me kick ass, too. I haven't listened to I'm Gonna Drive in a while, I suppose I should.
And then there's the songs that didn't get released... Zip Mouth Angel, Honest Man, You Got It Made, Randy Whore, Slip Away, etc. |

Merci, Monkey Woman, I had a good wake-up reading your translation |

L&A what do you think? IMO Fancyman Blues is one of the best Stones songs in 20 years.

Hi, F505 (the only dutchie in France who never lived in France, lol). This morning I came at work listening to my new compilation including all those great blues songs from the last 20 years... also with the fantastic "blues" from the latest solo effort from Mick. Damn, this guy can sing the blues better than anyone !
Stones !!!! |
|

| F505 |
I totally agree with you L&A. Mick + harp = the blues |

I agree with godablouse on the play-by-numbers comment. not bad songs, but the Stones aren't even breaking a sweat on these kinda tunes. throwaways - but nice ones at that... |

Didn't I read somewhere that these were specifically recorded at "b-side" sessions and that not much attention was given to them at all? They're obviously little bones thrown to fans and little enticements to pick up singles. Still, the groove on Jump on Top of Me Baby proves that the band often does better when they're not trying to hard than when they're really "going for it". I like this song better than several on Voodoo Loung.
The Storm is another thing altogether -- a freakin' modern masterpiece and probably the best "blues" song the band has recorded since they rode around in long black limousines.
I love the harmonica sound on Fancy Man blues, too.

Those b-sides are better than at least 3-4 of the songs on "Voodoo Lounge".
"Suck on the jugular" especially isnt worthy of official release.
And as for putting them out just to cater for the singles market, well give me a proper, previously unreleased song any day rather than those hideous remixes,dubs or dancefloor mixes that they usually did during the mid 80's to mid 90's. God knows who THEY were aimed at. For the most part, I never listened to them |

I love Zip Mouth Angel. I think its going to be right up there with Blood Red Wine with everyone wondering "why didn't they finish it/mix it?"
Anyone know where the title on Zip Mouth comes from. I'm not catching it in the lyrics.

>I love Zip Mouth Angel. I think its going to be right up there with Blood Red Wine with everyone wondering "why didn't they finish it/mix it?"
maybe they did, Tap.
Dont forget, the version bootlegged may very well not be the final or most complete take that was recorded.

The way Mick recounts it, those songs were indeed written just as b-sides.
"I wrote the B-side of the single Love Is Strong (on demand). Don Was said, Well, you know, we should have the B-sides done this week. It was always, like, next week we were gonna do the B-sides. And when we were there the last night in Dublin, Don said, Well, we should really have done the B-sides. I said, Well, I didn't do any B-sides. I didn't write any B-sides. He said, Well, couldn't you just go and write them? This is like at the end of the 6 weeks. And I said, Don, I feel, like, really tired. I do not want to write the B-sides. And he said, Well, why can't you just go in the corner of the cafeteria and do them? I said, Okay, I'll try it. So I went in and wrote The Storm and the next one, which is called Jump on Top of Me, and the next one, which is called, ah... (laughs). I forget what I called it! It's called Drive something - I don't know - Ride All Night or something. I can't remember; I changed it. But anyway, I wrote the three of them in one go. Walked in the room and just sat down and played them. And then we did them all in one take. So they were written and played all in one take. So that's writing on demand. And then I'll finish the lyrics up later.
- Mick Jagger, 1994"

I think Nasty touched a very important thing here: sometimes, the Stones are probably trying too hard to do a "good" song, but when they just let the juices flow, they come up with fresh and outstanding material. Too bad they didn't think again and decide to use those "b-sides" as albums tracks in the end... |
