Not my cup of tea...doesn’t even remotely sound like a Gnr song.
Same with me, I had to listen to it to even remember it. Still pretty awful imho. Axls "I don't believe there's a reason" is the only redeeming clips (solos etc aside maybe). That lyric should've been used in a diff song.

Despite my bitching I managed to get a second shot today.
Very happy to be on the road to getting things normal, can't really rest until the rest of my family is eligible though. But it's a happy start.
Things are really starting to reopen here. Aside from supermarkets/grocery stores, no one really wears masks much & all is reopening. People still work from home alot, but it really went from 0-100. One thing thats a bit skeevy for me, is being indoors or among crowds again. I went down the shore & walked the boardwalk & it was a bit of a challenge, I spent a year alone & hardly seeing anyone, my antibodies for anything are quite virgin, I could tell my body/nose was having a challenge keeping up with regular old germs & people

Ten, Vs and Vitalogy are the holy trilogy of Pearl Jam albums. After that, they were a bit hit or miss with good and bad tracks. You could kinda hear that they were starting to run out of steam on some Vitalogy tracks, but overall, it’s still a great album. And I actually prefer Vs to Ten. Such a great album, front to back, with the band let off the leash, pun intended.
Yeah, I heard the next album skips (No Code, 1996), but the one after that was good again (Yield, 1998) but I never bought or got too into either. Vitalogy was great when it came out, but lingered for about a year before it kinda was a different era in music. The Whipping is a pretty cool song. Like you Metallix I liked Vs more than Ten, although Ten is legendary & great album. I think Vitalogy saw Eddie Vedders musical preference taking over and doing away with the long Hendrix style songs & solos, and injecting himself with his lofi & three chord rock. Kinda ruined a special thing. I should give Vitalogy a listen. I think Ten is a better 'summer album' and Vitalogy & especially Vs sound great in the Fall.

Wow, thanks for posting. Didn't know they ever covered it. Great cover, pretty obscure Stones song for them to choose, although, I'd think they were big fans.

Does anyone use an app for acoustic guitat? Kinda like for playing out but mostly for the lyrics. Having trouble with ultimate guitar and wondering what else is out there

I love how the whole girls rock/girl power/riot grrl thing almost exploded into the stratosphere and changed the game.
Yeah, this was great & 'almost exploded' really summarizes it well. Around 95 they seemed unsure, trying. You had early alternative like L7, Sonic Youth, Pixies/The Breeders, and Four Non-Blondes etc. Also more underground like Liz Phair, Ani DiFranco, Juliana Hatfield maybe. So 95 it segues and pinnacles at Alanis Morrisette, along with less-riot grrl Jewel & Sheryl Crowe. Legitimate Musicians.. it waters down a bit into vanessa Carlton & Michelle Branch (I always mixed those two up lol), then MTV really shit things with the rise of BackStreet Boys & NSync. As great as MTV was in hindsight with 80s & 90s music, they effed it all up when they sold out there & TRL. Which led to, thru no fault of her own, Brittany Spears. She should've been kept to a side audience, or MTV try to better handle 'Rock' and 'Pop' (MTV/MTV2?). Instead they doubled down on a teen pop sensation, followed her up with Aguilerra & Jessica Simpson etc, and it was all over.
From L7 to Brittany Spears, sheeez.

Ah that brings back memories. That long Halloween (2007) thread, an exciting time to be a Halloween fan back then.
I can’t get the thread to load. Just the header.
I think that's all it is, the old ROV logo. Ahhhh, 2006. Good times!

Wish you well Axl S. Wasn't bad for me, like APE I had a sore arm, but worse than I assumed it would be. Felt really good tho the week after, like super immunity or something. Drink a bit of water leading up to it.
Mostly, life stayed the same for a couple weeks after, still felt unsure but now a month or so later (plus summer/warmer weather) I'm feeling more confident & safe about things. Still wear the mask in the grocery store but outside feel ok.

Discovered this song on the radio about 10 years ago. It's been tossed aside as 'album filler', as it's 'the long song' opposite Sympathy For The Devil, kindof a Dylan-esque attempt which, is pretty good. Goes to show you a band like RS can have this song completely buried & unheard of anymore.
