I like him to be Jagger.

One of Jagger's relatively few tunes of great vocals, imo. He's really singing here, not just being Jagger.

Saddened to read that, OTB.  All of the flics you mentioned were excellent.  "Performance" is still my fav, although the others are contenders, mos' def'.  And "Memo from Turner" is my only "10".

Good question! My fave director back in the day. "Bad Timing" was nothing short of (very dark) genius. Walkabout, Don't Look Now, The Man Who Fell to Earth, Insignificance . . . all great. And then somehow, mediocrity crept in and he became just another director, making forgettable and occasionally quite bad movies. Alas, like so many musicians who burned brightly for a few years and then started churning out generic "product", we'll just have to be grateful for the good stuff, while it lasted.

This is the hippest tune for 30 years on either side.  You frickin' pups never got the extreme rock-n-roll satori of seeing Jagger in his prime dance with a 4 ft. dark light and sing this in the movie (which was way cool in and of itself - what ever happened to Nicholas Roeg, anyway?).  "When the old men do the fighting and the young men are the cause and young girls eat their mother's meat from tubes of plasticon."  That's what I'm talkin' 'bout!!  There were GIANTS in those days.  I agree w/ "Gone Dead Train" comment below.

That was one of the first songs I tried uploading and it was rejected without even a spin on the LRC.   That was five years ago someone should try it again.

1. What planet are you from criticizing Rolling Stone's guitarists?
2. Ry Cooder is a terrific guitarists but Ketih, Mick, Brian and Ronnie can play a bit too.

Much better lip gloss control re comment earlier today on Robert Smith's rather lack of a steady hand.

Ry Cooder on (slide) guitar, if I'm not mistaken.

I'm your best funked up fan..."

This was my favorite song off Metamorphosis, (along with "I Don't Know Why") although that version is faster than either this or the movie version. I'm curious if Keith played on that version because the riffs seen like Keiths. I have no idea how I ever ended up with that album, but I thank God I did. I don't know what happened the Stones over the years...but early Stones connected with me.

How come RP doesn't play any of Keith's solo stuff? Main Offender is rather good.

Mick solo, eh? That explains why the guitar's better than usual. . . .

Mick's "note to self" the day after Altamont. 

If this was on Let it Bleed, it would probably be in the 8's

OMG, one of my favorite movies of all time!  Worth checking out this scene on YouTube!

Very reminiscent of Stray Cat Blues and Live With Me.

classic nasty/nice mick!

Funny - thought it was Beck at first...

badass

damn, i love this.

 A great song and a wild story about how a love triangle between Mick and Keith's girlfriend, at the time Anita Pallenberg, leads to a falling out between Mick and Keith. Keith refuses to play on the track and Ry Cooder gets brought in and the rest is tasty music history.
