Rolling Stones - Hand of Fate (HD)

[@darrellcrowder4769]

The Rolling Stones catalog of great songs is is vast, sometimes you forget a song that you like only because it was released about the same time that other bigger hits were released. For me, such was the case of "Hand of Fate." I liked it when it came out on the "Black & Blue" album. Fast forward 30+ years. My wife & I were at a bar at sunset overlooking the bay at Charlotte Amalie, USVI, and the DJ put on "Hand of Fate." We both looked at each other and commented the song was so good it felt like we were really hearing it for the first time. It was a feeling we share to this day every time we hear it. What a powerful song!🤘

[@frankfarago2825]

Video is from the Super 8 footage shot for the Stones for the "Exile on Main Street" promo 4 years earlier. Guy who filmed it passed away not long ago. Song is from 1976. But the two jell together superbly.

[@68to72]

What a song.... The highlight of Black and Blue...... And Charlie's drumming is fantastic!

[@haysfordays]

I read a review of Black and Blue that said that it was the "first pointless album by The Stones." I just have to ask what kind of sad existence must one live to feel that way. Utter horseshit.

"the heat's off, because it's all over, they really don't matter anymore or stand for anything [...] this is the first meaningless Rolling Stones album, and thank God". Lester Bangs was a great critic, but he had it wrong here...

There are plenty of us start shine, so much my favorite that I sent in request for it on Charlie's birthday 7years ago on his 73rd birthday (Just gotune 2nd )to my radio stn in Ireland, absolutely thrilled to have it play RIP Charlie Watts PS : Isint it time we got a deal luxe special on Black n Blue with a Blu Ray extra of Paris Abbatoir & Knebworth ( I was there as well as 3 nites in a row Earl's Court London May 21, 22 & 24th right beside the stage) and promo vids of Hot Stuff Hey Negrita, Crazy Mama and Fool to cry

Hand of fate is a gem, today's youth don't know what they missed and have no inclination to even find out the greatest rockin rolling band alive...

[@MrJohnKellogg]

+Donnie Maxwell Some of us have brains, don't worry.

[@pasuloco]

Donnie Maxwell I do! Found Black & Blue recently. Hell of an album but THIS is the track. I'm 31 don't know if that makes me the "new generation" but was lucky to see the Stones and we were pretty close to the youngest people there. First time I heard Memory Motel. show was in Boston. imagine our surprise hitching up long island to Montauk later that summer...the Memory Motel...it's on the ocean, guess ya know it well

[@somegirls2002]

hand of fate is off of Black and Blue - not exile. Yes Black & Blue was a good album - recorded in same studio either before or after Jimmy Page did quite a bit of Presence.

[@thomasrobarge2171]

wayne perkins auditioned to be a r.s. - they didnt like him?

[@matt88008]

Yes, musically they did, but he was American and they decided, for the chemistry of the band, that Mick Taylor's replacement had to be English.

[@noahkozak3230]

The guitar solo is amazing, it sounds sooo good, I love this tune. The badass stones

[@kevinmcdonald4040]

@@therespectedlex9794 They play the same film footage of The Stones traipsing around NYC on a clip for Rocks Off which was the first track on Exile and awesome. Mick Taylor was lead then so it made sense. He had left before Black and Blue and Ron Wood came in. Not even close to Mick Taylor who was their best guitarist easily. As many have said this lead is by Wayn Perkins who had tried out to replace Taylor. Ronnie is ok but he could never play a solo this good nor could he ever match Taylor's work.

[@johnwilde6120]

Not that I need it but I’m reminded yet again why I luv the Stones. I feel like the music speaks directly to me, about me, for me. There’s a little something for each occasion and for each moment in life. No other band can do that on the scale they do. Their huge the world over but they come up with songs that make you feel that it’s specially detailed for you. This is definitely one of them...🎶💋🇨🇦

[@richardfweeler2939]

Yeah they have been my go to bible too , this is just another example of their tasty tribal sounds that stirs the soul , once the Stones get in your blood it's a life long addiction

[@James-zd1lk]

Remember when this album came out? And the controversy it created, with the billboard showing a bound women? "I'm Black and Blue from the Rolling Stones - and I love it!"

[@StudioZ7]

Then National Lampoon ran a picture depicting a bound and gagged Mick Jagger with a bikini-clad woman laughing at him.

[@outlawyer45]

Wayne's an AL boy, he and Emmylou Harris were born a few miles apart. The Stones wanted to keep the band all Brit, but of the guitarists "auditioning" on Black and Blue, Wayne laid down the best track. Those bends are not for mere mortals.

[@rutledri]

+outlawyer45 The real reason Wayne was axed was not he was not a Brit but his writing ability. Keith and Wayne were writing together and it would have changed the power structure of the band. Mick would and could not have that so Wayne got axed in favor of Ronnie.

Black and Blue was the 1st Stones album i was introduced to,i was 12yrs old. My sisters older boyfriend(16yrs old) and i were playing horseshoes in his backyard when he popped 2 speakers into the back bedroom window and played this album.Hot Stuff was the 1st tune i heard off this album and i was hooked.I couldnt believe what i was hearing.It was like magic.Then Hand of Fate and i was blown away even more.Then Cherry Oh Baby.Topped the 1st side off with Memory Motel. What a band i remember thinking.Then he played side B Hey Negrita,Melody,Fool To cry,and the amped up Crazy Mama.Ill never forget that day for the rest of my life.It turned me onto the Stones which i ended up buying every album they ever put out plus countless bootlegs(not counting cds and cassettes) over the years.That fella Jim McQuade, passed away recently. Its funny how 1 album can change a persons life.Thanks Jim!

[@donhanlon8090]

Sorry for your recent lost Jim, just like you after Goats Head Soup '73, IORR '74 couldn't wait for Black n Blue, my first Stones show London Earl's Court, 3 of the 6 nights May 21st to 27th followed by Knebworth Aug 21st Black n Blue featured prominently on all shows. This LP deserves the box set treatment with Blu Ray Promos of Fool to Cry Hey Negrita Crazy Mama and Hot Stuff Don (Ireland)

Keith RIchards was purported to say this album( Black and Blue) was basically a guitarist audition to replace Mick Taylor who quit the rolling stones circa 1974 . Wayne Perkins plays lead guitar on this song . Perkins , Harvey Mandel & Ron Wood play lead on or more of the 8 songs from this album . as you know wood got the job . Great in his own right keyboardist Billy Preston does yeoman's work on this album: piano (track or song numbers 1, 2, 5, 6, 8), organ (5, 6), synthesizer (4), percussion (6), backing vocals (1, 4, 5, 6)

[@daseguin]

As great as the Exile on Main Street vid is going along with the song, it's ironic that Mick Taylor is their greatest ever lead guitar player in the vid, but it was actually Ron Wood who was with them on Black and Blue. Wayne Perkins is the one who shined on the monumental lead guitar in this song, though.... not only a killer solo, but probably my favorite Stones song ever.
