Defend the indefensible: Mick Jagger Solo

my joke didn't work this time :/

ha, i see now

Let me point out for the record that Jagger's sports coat was fashionable in 1986.

Clearly Stewart is simply on the rebound from the disappointing failure of Platinum Weird:

Good god, what type of nonsense was that. Makes Chris Gaines look straightforward.

Basically, dude is like the British Don Was. Cred at some point, mostly known these days for being one of the few guys able to tolerate the whims of the rich and famous in the studio. Because I mean, God only knows what it's like to produce Mick Jagger.

Good god, what type of nonsense was that. Makes Chris Gaines look straightforward.

Wikipedia entry definitely a must-read for fans of failed elaborate memes.

I can defend Stewart on the basis of Curve alone, but that's about it.

hm yeah, platinum weird! never heard of it. an elaborate, fascinating backsto ....zzzzzzz.

You know the problem with Platinum Weird? Too weird.

It had to happen:

The Dave Stewart Search for Commercial Success and Vague Respectability In His Own Right Again Please Thread

i think dinosaur types pick stewart because the last time they were vaguely aware of contemporary music Eurythmics were big

"Him or Jeff Lynne, right?"

"Yeah...let me check..."

This is pretty much the culmination of everything Keith Richards was talking about wrt Jagger in the last half of his autobiography.

super heavy mk. I

that was sad

i thought the tubby bass player was brian wilson at first. also weird to see richard manuel

WHHUU-UH-UH-UHT THE FUUUUUUUCK IIIIIISSS GOOOOO--IIIIIING AWWWWN?

I thought that was Richard Manuel playing drums! Wonder why they didn't show pictures of him with the Band like they did with Sebastian, McGuinn and dude from the Rascals.

Waitaminute if that is Manuel, it was probably filmed right before he killed himself. That is sad.

My favorite Mick solo tune: "Throwaway," one helluva rocker from '87 with fiery Jeff Beck guitar.

xpost and, uh yeah, pics of Ronnie Spector too, duh.

kinda like that song.

^^very yacht.

jesus christ that video. I had to watch it twice now. I guess that's what happens when you form a band almost entirely consisting of singers.

maybe entirely? not sure about bass player dude from NRBQ

This needs Annie Lennox.

My heart is deep in the countraay

He'll always have Don't Tear Me Up, which is better than any Rolling Stones song from the last uh, 30 years.

Morbid curiosity about video with Richard Manuel upthread

Yikes:

I remember seeing this at the time, everyone was talking about it the next day.

This thread exists so that one of us can post the latest version of "Let's Work" some hardy soul uploaded.

And I am glad for that.

GUESS AH'VE GOT THE WINNIN' TOUCH

Eurgh.

The songs with the Red Devils (link above is dead) are actually pretty decent. Not great, not as good as the Red Devils' album without Mick Jagger, but decent.

I liked She's the Boss when it came out. Decent band line up too, Laswell and his normal group of cronies who also worked on the Burning World (Swans) and PIL's Album.

tears of laughter:

trenchant social commentary

Finally -- a worse song than "Let's Work"!

According to the comments, naysayers are just jealous of Mick's physique.

I haven't bought a record Mick Jagger has been involved with since 1992, and I kinda hate Dave Grohl and most of what he stands for, but I don't get what's so uniquely terrible about this. I mean it's exactly as not good as I would have imagined it would be, but it doesn't even crack the top 1000 most terrible things I have ever heard

It's fine. I mean, this track woulda fit on Too Much Too Soon just fine and even a weak-ish Dolls album is still the Dolls.

I'm just glad Mick (or Dave for that matter) aren't on the COVIDiot thread.

(I realize the anti-science faction of Foo Fighters doesn't technically include Grohl but he is the fightingest of Foos and he let that shit happen.)

Don’t know whether to FP you or report you to Robert Christgau for that comment.

Lol, Alfred.

Ripping off the Puss in Boots riff doesnt mean it sounds like the Dolls ffs.

Ah yes, nothing like having the 77 year old man worth 400 millions tell you everything’s gonna be ok and he wants to get freaky.
