Vincent Vega Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Anyone else think Can't You Hear Me Knockin' is like, the ultimate Rolling Stones song?It has it all: An amazing, sleazy, ear worm riff straight outta the Chuck Berry playbook by Keith, a pumping groovy sort of bass, perfectly completely lead guitar by Mick Taylor, even Charlie's drums have a certain loose groove to them on this one, with great, drug soaked lyrics. The song just utterly comes together. First we have Keith's riff intro, then the bass comes in and plays along, jiving with the riff, playing off it, along with the drums, nice and loose but creating a great pocket. Then the two Mick's come in, filling in the rest of the sound, with Mick Taylor's lead parts playing off Keith's main rhythm. And then the song suddenly does a 180 into an epic Santana inspired jam that just rocks and reeks of sex.The perfect Stones song. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powerage5 Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 It's one of them, not sure about the one.This. I'd do terrible things to be able to hear CYHMK with Mick live, especially now that it's an option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DieselDaisy Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 One of their greatest 'deep cuts', certainly. Taylor's lead work is sublime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, even in 2013 it sounds awesome! Now it's not just an opiton, but very possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randy Lahey Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 (edited) Sticky FIngers is my favorite album of all time. Can't You Hear Me Knocking is great, but I prefer Moonlight Mile. Edited May 22, 2013 by Randy Lahey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Facekicker Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 I heard an extended version they played at a gig I went to a few years back. Unreal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
