Exile
Aug 6^th, 2012 at 8:34am

In many interviews, Mick has always expressed his disappointment at the double-album Exile On Main St.
He has never liked it, and who knows why ..? It 'was the album's most celebrated by all the critics, the media, by fans. It 'was perhaps the album that had more visibility in live concerts. The songs
more sung ever..
and he never liked it .. why?
It's theirs masterpiece at all the times. Many times I cant understodd Mick.. why he has to deny all this. It's a curiuos man. Oh no! not you again

Keith calls him, the freak control in his book.
I wasnt there, so I cant in no ways say something about.
But is the album I like at the most. Except Get Yer about Live albums.

Your thought? Doo'h

Many artists are not happy with their work 100% of the time, which is why they keep at it. Mick still has that hunger to be on stage and put out music even now as he pushes 70.

I love it...........
I wonder about his taste these days After revisiting Let's Work. Wink

Just kidding Sir Mick. Your the best.
I can always like something or for that matter, dislike something even though the Artist loves or in this case does not something.
I have that one particular album as the top of the 5 I have on an Island. Doo'h

Of course.......... I also like ABB, but it's not in the 5! Ouch!

Let the beatings begin!
I Love this place!

Yes Exile has a rather loose quality, which was intentional. Let it Loose, let it all come down! They pulled some all-nighters and all-weekenders with no sleep for days, according to Bobby Key's book. Then KEEF would start things up on a whim in the middle of the night, and just start playing and tell everyone KEEF's ready to go so lets play! And they all did, but MICK was staying someplace else with Bianca so he wasnt there for some of those middle of the night moments.

More a case that he thought the Stones made better albums that dont get the same adoration. he's entitled to his opinion, even if he is, of course, wrong - because its probably the greatest album ever made by anyone.

That's a good one, But I believe you think there's some truth to it.
Kind of how Lennon hated or despised The Beatles at the end of their time.
Or am I over analyzing your statement. Doo'h

Or do we believe this is the end and thinks will turn sour to rotten before it's all over.

Yes, true, he has the right on his opinions.. but why has not convinced yet that it was theirs best album ever made by them?
but should have known that they would never repeat the same chance to make another album better than another just as they did; he doesnt recognize that it is theirs masterpiece.. also Keith had handle it.
I'm enough stubborn, but cant understood why he acted so.

Early in the CD age, he said that Exile was best listened to on LP, as four separate suites, with some quiet time in between before getting up to flip the record. I've always found that to be true.
