THE REVIEW
For my birthday, forgive me, I gift myself a nice duplicate (and send Wittgenstein to the attic, for a day). On the other hand, it’s the only vinyl I have in duplicate. The original, one of the few decent records in my parents' collection, along with some De André, with a zipper that goes up and down, I destroyed it, had to buy another copy. With the fake zipper. I wonder if it would have been better to have never heard it. How much has it influenced the last thirty years of my life. Did everything change the first day I was intrigued by that cover and put it on the old Grundig, with the plow model needle?
In general, I always skip " Brown Sugar ". Because rock 'n' roll, for me, is that "One, two, three, four," slurred, slow and endless from Jagger at the beginning of "Sway". The bastardized riff by Richards that starts. That supposed drummer barrel of Watts playing a kind of shuffle, that no one else would have had the intelligence to play. Taylor's solo, amphetamine-laden, with Nicky Hopkins' piano counterpoint. The lyrics are pure Nietzsche: "Did you ever wake up to find, a day that broke up your mind, destroyed your notion of circular time, it's just that demon life has got you in its sway

The Stones take the 'banana' cover of the Velvet Underground album and give it their own interpretation in their style.
The entire album is enjoyable even in the car, and we know that combining enjoyment and quality doesn’t always happen.

"Sticky Fingers possesses a rhythm and capacity, almost tribal, to envelop and embrace you even after countless listens."
"The dark period magically transforms into pure gold, pearls to sell to the highest bidder and extravagances as sublime as they are epoch-making."

"Just 'Sticky Fingers' would have been worth the thrill of living it in the 'moment.'"
"This classic big classic album... if you live for rock, this is a steak to savor bite by bite, leaving nothing on the plate."
By Giuseppe13
Sticky Fingers has (never) received the proper recognition, apart from the great initial success.
Mick Taylor represented the best guitar sound of the group, an incredibly underrated talent.
