this is not "the greatest rock and roll band in the world". this is a group of old men who have completely surrendered any semblance of passion and enthusiasm for rock and roll. yes, there was chaos during the making of the record, but so was there during "satanic majesties" & "some girls", and at least there was a hint of creativity on the former and some decent tunes on the latter. anytime anyone says the stones are legendary, i shove this in their face. because it is [junk]! there is not one decent tune on the entire album!! (quick gripe: i understand the original chorus for fight was "gotta get my bodyguard into a fight", but mick was conviced to change it to sound more "street") ugh this is awful. even what could've been a sentimental farewell to 20 year bandmate ian stewart is reduced to 20 seconds during the fade out. thanks for sticking with us, buddy! this proved the stones as they once were, rock and roll at its sleazy greasy heartfelt best, was gone forever...
