    With this overwhelming set of review, interview and documentary on Voodoo Lounge you’re becoming a legend Justin. What a ride! The podcast we fans deserve and, frankly, the Stones owe some respect for! As for me, who have neglected this album for years (Bridges are my soft spot), you encouraged me to go and buy a copy to sit through and listen most carefully. Thanks man!

      @@HangFireStonesPodcast Had to wait until the weekend to be able to answer properly.
      I have remembered the first three tracks, Sweethearts Together (love ‘em all) and both Keef’s ballads (BC I’m a sucker for Keef’s ballads, like most of us.) The rest was pretty hazy, and what fun it was to rediscover it!
      Moon Is Up: I sort of vaguely knew that it was a cool track, but it turned up to be just magnificent! Top tier Stones, and their deliberately lo-fi approach here makes the song sound timeless. This is the track that you don’t want to ever end; I wish they explored these grounds more here. Then, shame on me, I kind of forgot about the existence of I Go Wild, which is a nice swaying rocker and omg, how good Charlie is! Suck on a Jugular: I’m on the same page with you here. I love the funky Stones, everything from Hot Stuff to Rain Fall Down. This is the essential track. Darryl’s tasteful licks during the final minute is pure joy. What a musician.
      I agree with you on Baby Break it Down: a chance wasted, at least partly. Still I have a soft spot for songs where you listen to Mick and hear Keith (if you know what I mean). It wouldn’t be out of place on Main Offender. Then, I will stand up for a song that nobody seems to care about: Brand New Car. The lyrics are silly, but I just love the gorgeous soul-inspired horn section; for me this song falls into the same category of undercooked, but promising stuff.

    • @podchauffe
      @podchauffe Месяц назад +1

      My ‘black list’: New Faces is awkward and simplistic, Rainbows is a sweet filler to my ears, Mean Disposition imho could be a B-side. But, then, speaking of B-sides: Jump on Top of Me is SO good, and I’ve never heard it before you and Timo mentioned it, thank you guys! Charlie is king, Darryl’s walking bass line makes you wanna jump up and dance, Mick does his best saucy vocals, pedal steel work by Ronnie is a killer. I need this on the album, too!

  • @AnwiLoveStory
    @AnwiLoveStory Месяц назад +4

    I Go Wild in terms of sheer power, energy, rock n roll, Keith open chords, vibe is up there with all the classics. It's just an explosion of the Stones dynamics where you can throw in any guitar mess, any open G variations and it will still carry the song forward like an unstoppable train.

    I must chime in- When Keith and the band played "Thru and Thru" in the Oakland Arena Nov 12, 2002 on the Licks tour- The whole Arena was locked in and listening intently. When the tempo of the track increased it seemed to raise the roof with the energy exchange between the band and audience. The Show was recorded, and the Stones had a recording of that performance on their website for awhile. So you knew the Stones knew it was a great performance. However, anyone in that arena that night, no video or audio recording could tap into that magical energy that rippled through the arena that night. "Thru and Thru" is an excellent composition and recorded performance on Voodoo Lounge. I would still love to see that live performance as a bonus track on an expanded Four Flicks BluRay that has been rumored as a possible re-issue now that the exclusivity agreement of the Best Buy DVD edition had expired a few years ago.

    Justin, your videos of Voodoo Lounge were like receiving a bunch of little gifts, one at a time, that made it all one big extraordinary gift !
    It's not just what you did, it's the way you did it. I've researched the Rolling Stones since I was 12, and my favorite part of it has always been learning how their songs were created, who played on it, etc.
    Your perspective is unique, and you routinely echo my feelings or give me a fresh perspective.
    I don't know if you can or want to, but I'm into this approach on any other Stones album you'd ever want to explore further !
    Thanks so much for the way you show love for my favorite band of my lifetime !

    After watching the 2 vids of "Inside Voodoo Lounge" I have come to appreciate the album in a totally different way. I also have revisited Voodoo Lounge a couple of times and listened with a different ear to the songs. One thing that stands out to me is the isolated tracks which give a whole new perspective on some of the songs. I think this album belongs very much to Charlie and his effort on this album. I think he is involved with a lot of the sound on this album. Then again one can't take away the fact that when the Glimmer Twins sits down and write songs together they are crafting a lot better songs than one of them on their own.
    After following the vids and post here on Hang Fire I have come to appreciate the Stones in a new way and even maybe more than I did before. To me it has always been a feeling I had that the Stones are the greatest band in the world. Nowadays I also have a portion of facts and more knowledge of the Stones. All thanks to the great work of Justin and also other Stones fans that works hard to give us input and background facts about the Stones as a band! So thank so much for your dedicated work and love for the Stones!

    I certainly agree the first half is the strongest on this album, I think the B sides on this album are very strong. I'd actually be fine with some of the lesser songs on the second half being traded for B sides like Jump On Top Of Me and The Storm. My favorite second half tracks are I Go Wild, Thru And Thru and Mean Disposition.

    I see “Suck On The Juggular” a bit differently. Critics bemoaned the Stones’ post-Exile work as no longer informed by traditional blues, as it was more current trends (funk), which they described as “less compelling.” Ok, :"Fingerprint File” threw them for a loop. But that track led to “Hot Stuff,: “Hey Negrita,” “Miss You,” “Everything Is Turning To Gold,” “Dance,”, Emotional Rescue,” “Slave,” “Undercover, “Pretty Beat Up,” “Sex Drive,” etc. Juggler is the next extension of this new tradition for the band. There’s a great playlist to be made with these tracks.

    Thank you for another insightful commentary. Great job, I am so glad I found your channel.
    I am also on team Jugular, my only complaint is the chorus which feels repetitive and monotonous . One aspect of the Stones I appreciate is the discretionary use of profanity but the verbiage here is a bit sophomoric and unnecessary, as is Brand New Car.
    Hate Rainbows. A depressing, hopeless mockery. Sad on many levels. Always skip .
    Break it down is in my opinion country, my least favorite genre unless done by the Stones. Love how it gently builds. Merle Haggard does Bolero. Never get tired of it. CD has been in my car for 2 yrs, that song and Sumatra coffee get me to work.
    What can I say about Thru that hasn’t already been said. It’s a masterpiece. Thanks Keith. Thanks David Chase. LOVE IT
    Sweethearts is a lovely piece, but it seems disingenuous coming from Mick. Out of tears was the same. Still beautiful .
