His version of “The Mercy Seat” is fantastic. Way better than the original.

Also, I don’t think we’ve crossed paths before but thumbs up on the username. I love EW.

Ah I see you approach music with the same elitist **** attitude as politics. I don't care, the Stones should have stuck with black people music cause Exile on Mainstreet is boring dog ****.

I don't know. I think the Stones did pretty well with country, at least during their classic period

Cave's Mercy Seat is one of my favorite all time songs, but yeah, Cash's version is just about as good. Same with Personal Jesus.

Okay, so I'll sort of agree with you on this one. Exile is a bit overrated when compared to the previous three albums. Better than Goat's Head Soup though.

For some reason I like the song Sympathy For The Devil but apart from that I've never heard anything from the Rolling Stones that I liked. And believe me, I've tried many times.

I don't listen to the Stones either, but I enjoyed a documentary a while ago about a concert that they did in Cuba. On this song the Stones are really enjoying themselves and the enthusiasm of the crowd is palpable, singing along to a line I bet a lot of young Cubans can relate to: "I can't get no satisfaction."

Has anyone heard Cave's acoustic piano version?

Nah they were much better at R&B. Early Stones slaps.

Those english boys wanted to play the blues so bad, so they played the blues so bad.

Kidding aside, I love me some stones, fun to pop on in the background, not the best example of what they do but certainly easy to get along with.

I'm a garage rock fanatic obviously and I like all three of the bands you mention, especially the Remains (though I'd hardly call them a blues band).


But they didn't get their inspiration from from African American blues. They were bitten by the British Invasion and were influenced by bands such as... The Rolling Stones.
