The Rolling Stones - Torn and Frayed

Verano de 1971. Los Stones se van todos juntos a vivir a Villefranche-sur-Mer, Francia a componer canciones y grabar. De esos momentos de inspiracion surgio un puñado de canciones como esta que quedaron registrados en "Exile on Main Street". Disco que capta perfectamente el espiritu de aquellos dias.

[@Tysoutdoorshow]

When your favorite song is rocks off, then it’s let it loose, now it’s torn and frayed.... I think we can agree that exile is the greatest album

It's not even in their top 5. Poorly recorded, unfinished songs and too many fillers. Sure, there are a few great tracks, but that doesn't make it a great album. Indeed, Jagger has said so himself.

the life of musicians and the curse of addiction culminating in one of the best outro's in modern music. this song truly cemented my love of the rebellious stones and their incredibly expressive music intoning the ascending melancholy that accompanies these country blues songs. this album was such an awesome display of musicianship and reflection of the tumultuous times in which we were living .

I think maybe a lot of people think its dressing rooms cause they are not from the uk so pissing rooms doesn't make sense. In the uk the word piss has loads of meanings but in the usa it just means angry. In the uk if you take a piss you have a pee. If you are taking the piss...you are taking the micky,making fun of someone If you went on the piss...then you went out drinking If you were really pissed last night....you were really drunk If you are pissed off...then you are annoyed GOD IM SO FUCKING PISSED...then you are really angry So pissing rooms means toilets but I'm guessing people just assume dressing rooms cause nothing else makes sense to them,but I think there must be an awful lot of deaf people out there,it really is clear that he says pissing rooms

[@eightinches6094]

@Malte Laurids Brigge ....so what did you want him do do? Prance onstage like Jagger? Taylor was strictly business onstage, he didn't have the "rock star" personality that Ronnie and Keith have, probably why he wasn't a good "fit" in the band so to speak. But that didn't take away from his brilliance on guitar. Your "overestimated contribution" comment shows your ignorance in this genre of music. In plain English you're full of shit.

[@eightinches6094]

@Malte Laurids Brigge ....sounds like you're a fan boy too. Hmmmm.

[@eightinches6094]

@Malte Laurids Brigge ...I'm responding to your comment, "people like yourself are such fanboys"....yes, I am a fan of MT just like you're a fan of Ronnie Wood. Besides Taylor was not of that fabric where he needs to release "hit songs or albums. After the Stones he didn't even "join" a high profile band. He's low key, he's strictly business but you call that "boring as fuck". Don't get me wrong, I love Ronnie, he has charisma, he's flashy, he still has spiked hair, he has the image of a rock n roll star, he's what the Stones wanted, he's what Keith wanted, it's Keith's band, Keith wanted Ronnie. There will always be debate and conversation on when were the Stones better, during the MT days or Wood days. Everybody has their opinion, mine is MT, yours is Wood. I believe the overall consensus is that the Taylor years were the best for the Stones. He's clearly the better guitarist.

[@eightinches6094]

@Malte Laurids Brigge ....Your original post was MT was boring as fuck and overestimated contribution. I disputed, or disagreed, with that comment. I stand by my opinion and the consensus of the masses that the MT years were the best for the Stones. That's all I've ever tried to say here.

Now as far as the ‘best album ever’ - well I would definitely say it’s def the Stones’ best album!... there’s just way too many classic rock albums to say best album ever, but you’re not far off w that statement! My God how when I bought this album 21 years ago my old head friend was so jealous of the fact that I was hearing most of these songs for the first time... I was young at the time n into gettin high and it was all very new to me so u can just imagine how much fun I was having as a 20 yr old kid! Fuckin Awesome. Man those were by far the best F’n days of my life! What I wouldn’t do to go back to that time in my life... but hey every time I hear this song it def does always take me back to that time n place.

[@kentucy9999]

They settled on Nellcote in the south of France because they were tax exiles of course and Keith and Anita were renting there. There was a harbor there with a lot of expensive boats and Nellcote was up on the hill overlooking the harbor. They weren't supposed to record there but Mick and Keith had scouted around for places to record and didn't find anything they liked...........which was not unusual because Mick and Keith often didn't like much of anything. They could be pretty..........we won't call it negative, we'll call it "picky" at times. So they recorded mostly in the basement at Nellcote. There was no "big" room in the basement so oftentimes Charlie would have his drums in one "sweltering" {it was a south of France summer} room and Bill would be playing the bass in another room and perhaps Mick Taylor and Keith would be in another room and maybe the horns would be in another room. They were also using the "Mobile Unit" which was small and pretty primitive at the time. I think the "Mobile Unit" was in the back of some trailer. Now as I said all of this was going on down in the "dank" basement of Nellcote. The power would go out AT LEAST once a day. They'd be in the middle of a nice "take" and the power would go off for an hour and then they'd finally get back to work an the power would go off again. Some times Jagger was there and some times he wasn't. Jagger had married Bianca an Bianca had just had a baby so Mick was commuting from Nellcote to Paris which was an hour or hour and a half away...........so some times Jagger would be there and some times he wouldn't. Same with Bill Wyman. He was living away from Nellcote too. The person who was recording everything was Andy Johns. Andy was the younger brother of the famous Glynn Johns and was only about 20 or 21 years old. You can imagine how excited he was to be doing it. Andy lived about 15 minutes away. Mick Taylor was living at Nellcote. Charlie was.I think Bobby Keys {horn player extraordinaire and Keith's heroin buddy} was staying there. {There were a number of people living there an eventually Anita demanded they pay rent which they did.} Supposedly at one point while they were at Nellcote someone found Nazi insignia's carved in the basement and they found out that Nellcote had been used as an administrative center and "interrogation center" by the Nazi's in the second world war. They'd have these big lunches upstairs every day. 20-25 people. Graham Parsons {Flying Burrito Brothers} Keith's friend from California and supposedly his country influence {Wild Horse's, etc} was there for about a month but Graham became so obnoxious he was asked to leave. {I don't think Graham and Jagger liked each other too much either.......................Keith and Anita and a number of other people didn't like Bianca either you know. They thought that Bianca acted as though her "shit didn't stink" or something.................Jagger would "stay over" sometimes. Every night Keith would have to go upstairs to "put Marlon to bed." {their young son at the time} He'd be gone for a good hour. The others knew "putting Marlon to bed mean't Keith and Anita were "fixing up" their last time of the day.............There was an incredible amount of heroin and alcohol going around Nellcote. Dealers in and out. Keith and his buddy {gopher} Tony Sanchez were copping incredible China White heroin of the highest quality. Tony wrote about it in what I still think is the best book ever written on the Rolling Stones, "Up and Down with the Rolling Stones" by Tony Sanchez. He might of taken some poetic license but it still gives you the best "feel" for the Stones of any book ever written on them...........Keith was in his "Errol Flynn" pirate phase during their time at Nellcote and they'd all go down to this little speed boat they had in the harbor and go out and terrorize the yachts. Anita said it was "great fun."...............Nellcote was really chaotic though and the recording of Exile on Main Street was very chaotic......................like many of the Stones albums ALL the music was NOT recorded at Nellcote. Some of the songs had been written a year or two before and may have been recorded elsewhere. Andy Johns said they had so much material it was unbelievable and much of the material was pretty diffuse and disorganized. Andy said that after they had all the material together they dilly dallied around and they dilly dallied around. At one point he and Mick and Keith got together in Los Angeles but they still didn't finish mixing the album. Keith was very addicted and he often wasn't able too or wouldn't actually put his nose to the grindstone in the studio to mix things. He'd talk about it but often wasn't there when it was time to do it. Jagger and Andy Johns ended up dubbing around trying to mix the Exile album but there was so much material the task was daunting. {This will show you how albums are done.} At one point Jagger went out to have a drink at a bar near the recording studio and happened on a black church and he liked the choir of the church and they did the back up vocals on 2 or 3 songs including Let it Loose. Jagger got some of the horns together too at that time. Eventually Andy Johns and Mick Jagger just said "fuck it" and got together 18 hours a day for four days and mixed Exile on Main Street. ..................{If you listen to the song Rocks Off there is a line which says, "fire the fucking feed" and what Jagger means by "firing the fucking feed" is staying in the studio 18 hours a day on those old reel by reel tapes and "firing the fucking feed" again and again and again......................so they mixed Exile on Main Street {and Jagger never really liked the "mix" because he thought it was "sloppy" and it was. Exile on Main Street was initially received with very mixed reviews. "Sloppy" was a word often used by critics. It was perceived to be of a lower standard than Let It Bleed and Sticky Fingers and Beggars Banquet and such...................but then later it became their "masterpiece." Go figure.

Mick Taylor and Gary Richrath are my two favorite guitarists. Sadly, Gary passed away on Sept. 13, 2015. IMHO, the Stones weren't the same without Mick and REO wasn't the same without Gary.

[@razorsharpe3371]

+Valerie Curtis You're so right on both counts Valerie. Saw REO with Gary and he was amazing ! Mick Taylor, I think most recognize his awesome guitar chops. Losing Bill Wyman on bass was a big loss in my opinion also.

[@flyingburritobro68]

Gary Ritchrath - Great to see him mentioned. Very underrated guitarist. One of my favorites for sure. Also a great writer!

[@225marklin3]

God love Al Perkins

[@alelor04]

Best time for the Stones...!! Mick Taylor Years were the most creative and inspired...!! They were the best rhythm'n'blues band of those times

[@antoniostella5584]

uno dei grandi album della storia della musica Rock

[@frankcalisi8121]

Mick Taylor looks like this young lost little kid.

[@rallabhandiprabhakar4750]

Country rock or blues ,alt country or Americana whatever one can label this type of music , it never sounded better than Torn & Frayed with the Rolling Stones in their prime period.

[@yragj6556]

Country soul…

[@wernerthomas296]

This was one for Mr. Keith. The L.P. exile on main street, was a f#$&@+g classic! A double classic. Keith & Sir really came up with the answers on this record. Keith landed a studio, right there on his property, in a French villa, where him & Anita would safely do their dope, and resume their way through their rock & roll life.Others would stay there as guests, like Bobby Keys, Graham Parsons, & a few others on various occassions. That would be the last of times for Mr. Parsons. Whatever they did, worked for the record. "Exile on Main Street", was a double album. A masterpiece actually.

Perfect reality of demonstration

[@irockuroll60]

This song describes the music of the early '70s better than any other song. The free love life was over and it was dirty country blues

[@guruofendtimes819]

I was there and it never ended and continues to this day due to the pill.

[@lakefield2112]

one of the finest songs ever recorded

[@canislupis3129]

I have a a big limited print of the cover from the 90’s. Been to every tour since late 70’s. This ranks in top 3. Going to their new tour for Hackney Diamonds starting in Houston April 24.

[@smokyrobinson1134]

I am really looking forward to the 2024 tour. it would be great if they played this song--a concert rarity. Played live only 3 times

[@martigrant3707]

The Stones did country a million times better than ANY American country singer and songwriter PERIOD. Geniuses chord-wise and lyrically. The Beatles were nothing compared to the Stones.

[@emanuelemazzotti1490]

ABSOLUTELY RIGHT!!!!! 🎸🎼🔝

[@TheRollingStony]

Steal my heart away

[@rachedrech]

That's not Mick Taylor, its Al Perkins on a steel guitar. Al is perhaps one of the greatest steel guitar players in American history.

[@nomorebushz]

cgraber chuck berry has a great sound on steal slide too!

[@lewiskvin]

Exile on main street is actually listed as #6 in 500 greatest albums of all time according to Rolling Stone ;)

[@KeepRockin55]

@hanghang71 We live one day at a time. Thinking about the past hurts,and thinking about the future is overwhelming. Living one day at a time make's your goals achievable and realistic. People with 20+ years of sobriety tell me they do the same.

[@emanuelemazzotti1490]

On stage the band has got problems........😳😳😒😵‍💫😲

[@09jackstraw]

@KeepRockin55 Good for you Matt. I'm in the same boat, just began my recovery about a year ago. I was up to 80mg. of Dilaudid/shot or over 100/mg Oxycontin. After I started putting my friends in the ground I figured it was time for me to take a different path or I'd be following them soon. You're so right, anyone can do it and it will be the best thing you've done. Nothing feels better than putting all the madness behind you and getting in touch with your feelings again. Keep the faith!

Well I've seen plenty of Stones tracks on KZbin with a slideshow of stills but I don't think I've ever seen a single one of these pictures before . Nice job .

[@rayokoa222]

What a warm-hearted song. Does not seem to fit with the rest of nihilistic Exile. Though I love each and every one from side one through the end of side four. This remains one of the best concept double albums ever made. Great rock, great music.

[@kentucy9999]

"Warm hearted?"..............."and dressing rooms filled with parasites."...................."drug store highs in short supply, who's gonna help you to kick it?".................What world do you live in? This song is about the grunge of the rock n roll world, the low lifes, the nerves, the drugs. "Warm hearted?" Good lord.

[@ricky6500]

It fits perfectly in Exile

[@darega03]

one of the best? it is the BEST double LP ever made!

[@badsign49]

"...and dressing rooms filled with Paris styles."
