Today I learned that Billy Preston toured with the Stones for five years.
Hmm.
Learn something new everyday.

My absolute favorite Stones tune.

So many classics it's odd that you like the 80's version of the Stones. Not that this isn't a good song, just a lot of older stuff I wouldn't rather listen to.

more fitting today than when Leonard Cohen wrote it.

Everybody knows the dice are loaded
Everybody rolls with their fingers crossed
Everybody knows that the war is over
Everybody knows that the good guys lost
Everybody knows the fight is fixed
The poor stay poor and the rich get rich
That's how it goes

Everybody knows the boat is sinking
Everybody knows that the captain lied
Everybody's got this broken feeling
Like their mama or their dog just died
Everybody's hands are in their pockets
Everybody wants a box of chocolates
And a long stem rose
Everybody knows

Everybody knows
Everybody knows
That's how it goes
Everybody knows

Everybody knows
Everybody knows
That's the way it goes
Everybody knows

Everybody knows that it's now or never
Everybody knows that it's me or you
Everybody knows that you live forever
When you had a line or two
Everybody knows the deal is rotten
Old black Joe still pickin' cotton
For your ribbons and bows

Everybody knows you love me baby
Everybody knows that you really do
Everybody knows that you've been faithful
Give or take a night or two
Everybody knows you've been discreet
So many people you had to meet
Without your clothes
And everybody knows

Everybody knows
Everybody knows
That's the way it goes
Everybody knows

Everybody knows
Everybody knows
That's how it goes
And everybody knows

Everybody knows
Everybody knows
That's how it goes
And everybody knows

It's the bass hooks on "Undercover" that just reels me in.
I'm a sucker for a bass riff, which is why I say it's my favorite.

A lot of my all-time favorite Stones tunes have lost some of the glitter due to overexposure, like "Gimme Shelter" for instance.

I personally think Led Zep is the greatest rock and roll band ever, but I can't even listen to "Stairway" anymore, and it's getting to the point where great Zep tunes like "Immigrant Song" is getting played out.

My opinion is Zep is the greatest ever, Queen is my all-time favorite with my absolute still touring 20 years after dropping "Hot Fuss" Killers.

The Killers may not be every one's cup of tea, and I get that, everyone can't love everything at the same time, that would make life really dull, but the casual listener doesn't realize how groundbreaking Hot Fuss was in 2004, and they sure as hell don't realize how incredibly difficult it is for a band to sustain excellence for 20 years, no less 50 like the Stones.

You want to hear some incredible bass, and I mean incredible.
Give this a listen, fast forward to 2:52.
*Not for nothing* I always liked Concrete Blond as well

Yea I hear you. The radio over plays everything. Stairway to Heven was overplayed when I was a teenager. Best part of Gimmie Shelter is the black girl screaming Rape Murder. Still a lot of Stones not played on the radio.

You will never hear this on radio. LOL

I know that bass line from somewhere just can't place it.

Here you go if you like a good bass line. Tom Bolins: Post Toastee, he played with the James Gang and Deep Purple. Guy produced a lot of music for dying at 27 years old.

The bass line opens the song.

**khicks26** · 01-21-25, 08:36 PM

It's also a good song to watch people react to.

**stevenash** · 01-21-25, 08:52 PM

Good stuff!

Riddle me this, is Tina playing the bass or is the bass playing Tina.
Tina Weymouth was not just good, but a great bassist, still is.

Well one thing for sure, she's not out of place with all those brothers on the stage. That says a lot.

You like Sick Puppies? They had a good female bass player.

**stevenash** · 01-21-25, 09:28 PM

Sick Puppies are OK.
Aimee Mann has serious game too.

Just my opinion, women on the 90's and 2000's had much better talent than the women of the 80's.

**JIBBBY** · 01-22-25, 12:13 AM

^Talking Heads were underrated as a band in my opinion!

**stevenash** · 01-23-25, 11:28 AM

Not a dollar
Not a nickel
Not a penny to my name
I'm the king of tap city
And I'm out of the game

A nickel up
A nickel down
Another nickel gone
Ain't got a nickel left to carry me on
If I ever get back on my feet
I'll move from Saturday Alley up to Sunday Street

Don't know why I loved this song as a kid

**JIBBBY** · 02-05-25, 10:41 PM

Real music lovers this song is Robert Plants best creation so he says and his personal favorite. It has variation and riffs, stops and starts. It's a creative tune from Led Zepplin. Just sharing for music lovers.. Check it and turn up the volume base!

^ Bush was trying to be Nirvana, grunge light but same voice IMO..

**JIBBBY** · 02-06-25, 09:26 PM

An acoustic masterpiece.. Best ever made. Listen it thru entirely as it picks up and you'll understand. Old school and bluegrass..

**JIBBBY** · 02-06-25, 10:16 PM

Back in the 80's I was security for concerts for the Santa Barbara bowl for the Furs. Solid band with Pretty in Pink and this song. Dude looked drugged out and wasted I can't lie. Heart beat song was decent...
