Say what you like but Mick Taylor leads are the best. He just nailed it every time. Keith is the riff master, but MT take every song to another dimension.
it's my favorite guitar solo. i always thought that ronny wood was born to be a rolling stones and i love him. but mick Taylor on lead guitar was just perfect for the stones
The Stones hit a plateau with Wood. No more ascension to the heights that were denied them with the departure of Taylor. The Stones with Wood are boring has beens.
if you play the Flip Side (B Side of the 45) of Wild Horses you'll find a different version of SWAY that's noticeably different from the LP. Mick screams his arse off on this version
My favorite Stones song. Absolutely sublime solos and Bill's bass is so lively, I couldn't even try to play it with the feel Bill Wyman does. No tabs can really teach you to play the guitar, bass, drums, horns, piano on this. Mick is at top passionate energy too. It's a band giving it their absolute all at full pedal to the floor. I get chills thinking about them in the studio, everyone at their best and you can hear it
Could you just imagine what it was like in that studio at Muscule Shoals? The Stone's snagged the in house piano player on "Wild Horses", Jim Dickinson. He's the father of Luther and Cody Dickinson of "The North Mississippi Allstars"! If you're familiar with that band you know the acorn didn't fall far from the family tree!❤
Great song. I used to come home to my parents' house in the wee hours of the morning with wide open eyes and play this song over and over again on headphones. The lead guitar solos in it took me to the Moon and back.
I did the same back in 67. Get home with a bad case of munchies, devour the food my mom had left on the stove for me and go sit in the living room and listen to music on earphones.
"Ain't flinging tears out on the dusty ground. For all my friends out on the burial ground. Can't stand the feeling getting so brought down." I sure feel the pain today. Rest in peace Charlie and God speed.
Andrew Brennan "Every track is a gem"???? ..... I only remember from this 1970 album "Brown Sugar" and "Wild Horses". That's it! P.S. same year (1970) CCR -"Cosmo's Factory" beat this album hard 😁 song by song!
Nicky Hopkins on keys. This has become my favorite Stones song over 50 years of listening to them. But for nearly that long I thought it was “evil eye” not “demon life.” Got a real feeling I’m not the only one, lol. Fave Stones era with Mick Taylor. And that Jagger vocal is among my favorites.
Peter Mills uh..I hate to say it but I have loved this song since it was first released and dammit did not know the complete lyrics until now. We are in the same boat my brother..go figure✌😁
Una canción que siempre me ha impresionado y gustado a lo grande, el sonido roto y distorsionado Le da aún más encanto si cave. Deliciosamente preciosa.. Stones forever
Flatwin4ever I discovered it long ago, I am 33 years old and I dedicate this version of mine t th-cam.com/video/3GR5YPt8tW4/w-d-xo.html&feature=share o you
I was invited to the small private show at the Fonda Theater in Hollywood when the Stones played the album Sticky Fingers in it’s entirety. I was on the edge of the stage. Later they released a dvd of it and I was shown in it many times.
This song is like a blueprint to my life and never fails to put my thoughts into perspective. A testament to the power of music and wordsmiths the Stones are and continue to be...🎶😎💫
Thanks for posting the lyrics. I've always loved this song and loved Jagger's impassioned vocal, but damned if I ever knew the words he was singing! I finally looked at the lyrics in a song book in a music store. I think Mick got into a bottle of Keith's Rebel Yell just before he recorded this vocal track. Love it, and Mick Taylor's glorious lead guitar!
“Sway’ belongs to Jagger and Richards but it is very much Mick Taylor’s song! “I think he had a big contribution. He made it very musical. He was a very fluent, melodic player, which we never had, and we don't have now.”……”Mick Taylor would play very fluid lines against my vocals. He was exciting, and he was very pretty, and it gave me something to follow, to bang off. Some people think that's the best version of the band that existed". - Mick Jagger . 🤘🏻RocK LiVeS!🤘🏻
One of my all time Stones songs. All guitars are great. Bass and Charlie are great. What is truly great in this song are the lyrics and vocals by Mick Jagger.
Mick here looks like JORDAN PARKS,the young STARBUCKS employee in the Pac.Palisades with a Tibetan VAJRA dagger tatoo on his right arm who served me cappuccino each early morning (sometimes at 6.30 am) together with the NY Times (loved the STYLE section) His smile will forever bring me back to life...
I have not heard this song for about a year & all I can say is: Oh My God. I am thunderstruck by Mick's voice in this rendition of the song. He has one of the most powerful, blues-based voices in all of rock. Then, of course, there is the unmistakable guitar work, especially by Mick Taylor. As others have said, Sticky Fingers is one of the greatest albums from the Stones. BTW, seeing the lyrics helped. I always thought it was "that demon wine" but now I see it is "that demon life."
Ive always called this the "drug album". Its beautiful even though I stopped all substances in 1973. Moonlight Mile is so strangely mysterious. The opening notes have a Chineesy sound that makes me think its about opium.

After all back in the days when this was written I'm sure they drank gallons of demon wine, (chuckle). 😊
Yes, and sadly Mick played rhythm on this but he never brought the Stones back to that heavy sound after Taylor left. With Keef and Ronnie, the live shows are this fast tempo mess sometimes. I read Mick didn't like the tempo of the '69 tour, (to me the best sound too) and convinced Keef to speed it up. Maybe the coke caused that mid 70's.

@@danieladams6972 Yes brother, the lyrics Jagger comes up with on Sway are some of the Stones best & Taylor just is sublime & Watts & Whyman all locked on the same groove on this song man :D
G. I hope you're doing fine and I can't believe you don't miss all of that yourself. Simply can't believe you never look back and cry at times. It's just that demon life that got me in its sway
I do tend to like some of the "slower" Stones tracks more and more. This and the likes of Wild Horses and Dead Flowers. They are often a bit morose sometimes, but they did that so well. And Mick Taylor is always fantastic.
No doult this was the best era of the Stones . With Keith on guitar, Mick , Charlie on drums and Bill on Bass and Mick Taylor when rock and roll was in its blues stage ( no disrespect to Wilson's 60s era ) . Taylor's guitar licks along with the others made this bands title as the best rock and roll band in the world.

Say what you like but Mick Taylor leads are the best. He just nailed it every time. Keith is the riff master, but MT take every song to another dimension.
I love Micks lead on this song...and I think what really makes this song great is that Mick Jagger played the Rythem guitar!!
it's all Taylor on this song...Richards only contributed the backing vocals
@@frankdiscussion2069 Mick Jagger played Rythem guitar---- it even states that in this video.
Agreed 100 percent
Mick Taylor's time with the band was the Stone's golden era in my humble opinion, wonderful guitarist!
it's my favorite guitar solo. i always thought that ronny wood was born to be a rolling stones and i love him. but mick Taylor on lead guitar was just perfect for the stones
👍🤸
The Stones hit a plateau with Wood. No more ascension to the heights that were denied them with the departure of Taylor. The Stones with Wood are boring has beens.
Never bettered, agreed 100%, cheers.
Taylor 10x better than Wood. Dumb of them to have basically kicked him out. Mick and Keith egos got in their way
Best outro solo ever.
With a great Hopkins!!!!
THE STONES were just on a completely different level at this time nothing in rock history compares to their brilliance never to happen again sadly
The best Stones song ever.
if you play the Flip Side (B Side of the 45) of Wild Horses you'll find a different version of SWAY that's noticeably different from the LP. Mick screams his arse off on this version
Yesssss
Agreed
No doubt. The opening song off Sticky, man, you would not believe the memories I have of this song. Love this band as I do the Grateful Dead.
agree 100% , faces should never broke up

"Ain't flinging tears out on the dusty ground. For all my friends out on the burial ground. Can't stand the feeling getting so brought down."
I sure feel the pain today.
Rest in peace Charlie and God speed.
The Stones got to heights on Sticky Fingers that no other band ever has before or since. Every track is a gem.
Could it have had something to do with Mick Taylor's influence?
Still an album I play on a regular basis. Not one bad track. Sway is a masterpiece!
Disagree.. Exile is every bit as good...first to last..no one else is close thou...agreee with that.
@@huascar66 they're all great but Sway just does it for me!

It’s widely accepted that this is Mick Taylor’s song. Brilliantly written, played, sang & engineered.
Awesome Mick Taylor guitar solo
so nice
Charles Steenburgen. It's all Mick T. Keith didn't play on this track, dont know why.
He composed the song with Jagger.
@@benbeck1 true.
@@danielgolus4600 Jagger on rhythmic guitar.
Charlies' drumming.... all the way through is a joy by itself.
Mick Taylor- what a guitar solo! MJ very credible on the rhythm guitar part as well.
Jagger is playing the rhythm part fellow Stones Fan. 😇😇😇
I have so adored this song above all others on Sticky fingers. The lead, the lyrics, the passion...insurmountable aural bliss especially tripping!
Love Mick Taylor
This reverb on the vocals sounds so good!
and drums too i think !!??
@@timjames72 Yes, absolutely!
Maybe some kinda like delay? Real light do it seems like reverb idk tho
Just amazing song. The whole thing and everything it says. Brilliant. 💜
Second best Stones song, and in my top 10 of all time......Mick Taylor is an incredible talent
Ok, what's the first?
@@roadrunner7218 You Can't Always Get What You Want
Jasper Lufkin nah mate, shine a light, finest moment of the stones

In the words of Bobby Gillespie - 'whilst the rest of the band are in the swamp, Mick Taylor is in the heavens'.

Guilty as well.
Never knew Nicky Hopkins was on y favorite Stones cut.
I only know him from playing with Jerry Garcia in JGB.
Bloody hell !! I've loved this song for over 45 years and did'nt know all the words, until now ! Thanks so much for this!

Don't beat yourself up. This is a very hard song to decipher from just listening.
Richards is one of THE preeminent song writers of our generation.
Same here. But have lived the words the whole time

What a life these guys had all songs came out at the right time, glad I was there
I don't usually comment on these things but c'mon, lets give it up for Charlie! Sheer Genius on this song!!
i love this song

Heavy sway. Bill rocks. thanks for sharing this sound.
Folks.......
I don't know about anybody else....
But Mick and Keith have written about everything I have ever learned!!
This is such a BAD ASS TUNE I love it kudos Mick Taylor ! I would give my BALLS to play this solo.
Amo a los STONES.

One of my all time Stones songs. All guitars are great. Bass and Charlie are great. What is truly great in this song are the lyrics and vocals by Mick Jagger.
Sticky Fingers one of the best albums hands down
Mick Jagger played the Rhythm guitar on this song....I think this song has got so much soul he should have played guitar on more of their songs !!!
Mick here looks like JORDAN PARKS,the young STARBUCKS employee in the Pac.Palisades with a Tibetan VAJRA dagger tatoo on his right arm who served me cappuccino each early morning (sometimes at 6.30 am) together with the NY Times (loved the STYLE section)

Wait a minute, what?
the greatest in rock and roll history STONES
the legend is MT wrote this but never got credit. Love his guitar
Doubtful
Since he never wrote anything worth a damn in the next 50 years I’m thinking, no, Taylor didn’t write this.
Taylor didn’t write this, just developed it a lot in terms of guitar to make it what it became today.
Now I'm 54yrs ..but still make the Stones 1st band..since I'was 12years old..so I want live as long as the Stones live....🙏💪💪
Dude you have all the good Stones stuff. Thanks for posting. Sub’d

Moonlight Mile is so strangely mysterious. The opening notes have a Chineesy sound that makes me think its about opium.

Moonlightmile is another Taylor/Jagger song, waiting for Keith to come.
Excellent

Really no one else except for him or the Band have case's that could force precedent and are quite so relevant

But, Keith did not play any musical instrument.
