Icnarf, it's fair to say that Brian Jones had talent and made a substantial contribution to the band's sound and arrangements until '67-'68... but come on, he isn't credited with a single composition in the entire Stones discography. The two party-loving boys should get some credit for the four legendary albums from '68 to '72, right? ;)

I agree with 47 about the album. This Judgement reminds me in some parts of the arrangements of Porcupine Tree and Damnation by Opeth ("one last goodbye"), which I consider far superior to this... for me it’s a decent album, absolutely not the absolute masterpiece you’re talking about. The best albums of 1999 in my opinion: Yume Bitsu - "Yume Bitsu", Botch - "We Are the Romans", Tarentel - "From Bone to Satellite", Mogwai - "Come on Die Young", Fu Manchu - "Eatin' Dust", Cul de Sac - "Crashes to Light, Minutes to Its Fall", Susumu Yokota - "Sakura", Low - "Secret Name", Nine Inch Nails - "The Fragile", The Black Heart Procession - "2", Built to Spill - "Keep It Like a Secret", Neurosis - "Times of Grace", Opeth - "Still Life".

Alright 47, maybe we want to say the same thing :) anyway, I clearly prefer them to Allman (they don't resonate with me) and Creedence (great). But it's a matter of personal taste...when I play Beggar's Banquet or Exile, I enjoy it like a hedgehog :D

The Stones were rebellious in their attitude, in the way they presented themselves, and sometimes in their lyrics, but not in the content of their music... that's why I say they were conservative. I am the first to acknowledge that they inspired thousands of other groups, some of which were extremely innovative, but they themselves did not innovate anything at the level of musical and artistic meaning. They expressed themselves beautifully, but through already crystallized canons of the American blues and country tradition. Formally, they could be rebellious, but in content, they remain conservative. The same cannot be said for the VU, who instead completely overturned everything.

The Stones are truly great, but they have been the epitome of conservative rock. I literally adore their records from 1968 to 1972, but they had little that was brilliant or innovative. They deserve credit for playing the blues and country like few other rock artists have, yet one could say that if there were a "book of rock," they would be the binding, the paper, and the ink—in short, the structure, the skeleton—while the ideas, musical and otherwise, written in that book belong almost entirely to others.

@there: I was mistaken, I didn't delete "Guitar Shop," I have that one and "You had it coming" in mp3 + the first 2 "Truth" and "Beck-Ola" in cd. It was "Blow by Blow" and "Wired" that I deleted, although they were the most praised, I never liked them.

Too kind, it's not exactly a great masterpiece this review, anyway Timmons is one of the "canonical" guitarists I still enjoy listening to very much.

It might be, however, if you want to play that kind of "shred" metal from the virtuosic long-haired '80s, then use an Ibanez, a Jackson, or a Peavey... Telecasters are wasted on that genre.
