Free Music Notes for Stripped
Free Music Review: best of the 90's
Hit: 5 Stars
This is the best "UNPLUGGED", album of the 90's.......Period !!! It is also the best stones cd, since the 80's.....Period !!! I wish it was longer ( ADD BROWN SUGER, HIDE YOUR LOVE -which would be great, because it's a missing gem and a blues song ). Maybe on a remaster ???? Man this album is to good not to add a few more songs ( length is a little short ), and re-sell it again................" I know I would buy 4 of them ". Thanks STONES for the best album of the 90's....." at least with ROCK-in-ROLL ".Free Music Review: WISH IT HAD 2-3 MORE SONGS.....BUT.....STILL GREAT
Hit: 5 Stars
The only thing wrong with this great listening cd, is it's length. I wish the STONES would have added another old hit ( like "brown sugar" ), and a old blues, hard to find song ( like "hide your love" )........TO THIS VERY WONDERFUL CD. !!! To be truthfull, it's the best of all the unplugged cd's on the market....and frankly the best stones cd of the 90's. THERE REALLY NEEDS TO BE ANOTHER ONE.....just like this- old songs, hit songs, rare songs, blues songs-------------SO LISTEN-UP MICK. "This is some good stuff ". HECK !!! Go to the same places over again and record a SECOUND STRIPPED album.It's worth every dime, I paid for it. Thanks for makeing one of my favorite CD's of my LIFE.Free Music Review: Rolling Stones-Stripped
Hit: 5 Stars
The Stones are doing small theaters on the CD, as well as recording rehearsals and just messing around a bit. Since they usually are finely produced, this cd is a little peek behind the curtain. It is great fun.Free Music Review: Yes another live album, but this is diferent.....
Hit: 4 Stars
There are interesting facts about the released of stripped:
- Basically it is an "unpugged album" from the Stones.
- It was the very first interactive cd.
When I first bought this cd, it was the very first interactive multimedia record ever done (booklet came with instructions, intercative material, etc...also appears the very first Rolling stones site, by 1994 whe the internet was so new, the site shows only merchandise in just a few pages, all those years ago), it is very interesting looking and hearing "hidden tracks".
Also, during the Voodoo Lounge tour, the Stones perform some "surprise gigs" in some cities.
In the time of the Unplugged records, this is a testimony of great tracks recorded in a different way we used to hear the Stones.
It is a great album, quite diferent, and of course "Like a Rolling Stones", a classic made a classic.
Free Music Review: Far Better Musicianship Than Get Your Ya Ya's Out
Hit: 5 Stars
I own three live releases by the Rolling Stones. "Got Live (if you want it)", "Get Your Ya Ya's Out!" and "Stripped". As a musician who has been playing for over 40 years in various bands from reggae to rock to jazz I can tell you that Stripped is a far better set of performances than those on Get Your Ya Ya's Out and, to state the obvious, "Got Live...". For some reason, many people think Ya Ya's is the greatest live record of all time. That's highly debatable - see my "Get Your Ya Ya's Out" review that gives the reader an objective dose of reality (and people, I AM right about Get Your Ya Ya's Out). I'm pleased to tell you that Stripped has far better musicianship and the sound, while preserving that "loose" Stones feel, is much tighter that the performances on Get Your Ya Ya's Out. These guys used THIS release to strut their musicianship and it is excellent. Better than I'd thought, that's for sure.
Most of the tracks on Stripped were recorded in front of a live audience but some are taken from rehearsals. This is basically an "unplugged" release (though there is plenty of electricity). In general, this release has an acoustic flavor to it though it's by no means a couple of guys strummin' guitars with Jagger singing.
Some of the tracks on Stripped are actually better performances than the originals, Shine a Light for example. The version of Street Fighting Man is by far the best live rendition I've heard though no live version will ever remotely even approximate the original from Beggar's Banquet.
In summary, there are no "stinker" tracks on Stripped, they are all very good and some I dare say are truly great (and I don't tend to like the Rolling Stones' live releases)! There's even some friendly word play among the performers between tunes and a humorous false start of "Love in Vain". Stripped is far more entertaining and enjoyable than Ya Ya's in my opinion - regardless of what all those Ya Ya's die hard fans might tell you. Ya Ya's is good but this is much better.
