“Something happens when we play together. It’s impossible to copy. Every band follows the drummer. We don't follow Charlie. Charlie follows Keith. So the drums are very slightly behind Keith. It’s only fractional. Seconds. Minuscule. And I tend to play ahead. It’s got a sort of wobble. It’s dangerous because it can fall apart at any minute.”
– Bill Wyman, Crossfire Hurricane
I recently watched the 2012 Rolling Stones documentary Crossfire Hurricane which confirmed for me yet again the Stones were one of the first punk bands. In the archival black and white live footage from the band’s early days, the Stones are raw, funky, and electrifying and their performances whip young girls in the audience into a shrieking frenzy and set boys fighting with cops. The ‘60s studio recordings are good but if you want to see the Stones tear it up live in their prime- the live versions are so much better with the famed “wobble” in full effect- then check out the documentary. Here are some more of my favorite Rolling Stones songs- up to and including their 1969 rock masterpiece Let It Bleed. Enjoy!
