Is it me, or would that song be total crap if it weren't for the bass. The bass riff is the best part of the song. Also, I thing the live versions are WAY better than the studio version.
Any thoughts? |

Check out Skrew's very Slayer-like and Tiamat's very Pink Floyd-like cover of this song. I like them immeasurably better than the original, which I've always found pretty annoying. |

I love the original.
The first truly sinister song, IMO. Dark and mesmorising. Brilliant lyrics and glass shattering leads. A true original. |

The originals a classic. The Stones were the first huge band to sound dark & sinister in mainstream pop-music. SOngs like this & Paint it Black had a veyr dark & somewhat evil feel to them I find (espeically when Drunk Hehehe). [img]images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img] |
