    I am talking about Exile on Main Street by the Rolling Stones. On this week's Loudini Rock & Roll Circus podcast we will give the you crazy story behind this classic album.
    Topics Discussed:
    back story
    bad management... sold millions but saw very little money
    93% tax rate!
    wrongly assumed management had paid the taxes etc...
    Did a short "farewell tour" of England
    Move to south of France.... with their families and significant others. 
    Mick marries Bianca... followed by giant star studded party at Keith's mansion
    They genuinely didn't want to move... missed England.
    French Photographer Dominic Tarle' got invited to stay and photograph the entire process
    Couldn't find a place to record... chose convenience of Keith's basement.
    Tough to get started... members were spread out around france.  MEmbers ended up staying at Keith's most often.
    Family life often overlapped professional life
    Mick Taylor was excited by the prospect.
    "separation" was an issue. Band members often recorded from different rooms
    problems with humidity and electricity
    but creativity was flowing... loose but slowly productive... might workd on the same song for a few days with little to no progress but then it would come together, usually under the direction of Keith
    Label rep, MArshall Chess was shocked by how they worked... taking their time to come up with even one song
    "this band does it's best work when they don't know they're working" Keith
    music that they had picked up traveling the world especially America where drawn upon for the songs
    Many guest musicians
    the kids rolled joints
    Mid September... 8 guitars and bass and a saxophone are stolen despite people being around
    Most everyone left by fall. Keith and Anita feared getting busted 
    Only had fragments at the end of that time.
    Made cut outs of lyrics and mixed and machted to get songlyrics finished
    Finished at sunset sound in los angeles.... hours and hours of going through tapes.
    mixing was long too... mick would mix a song... then keith would mix it and they would argue
    ALbum  criticised for not having a clear direction ..years later became considered their greatest album
    Song highlights:

  • St. Anger Revisited; Was it THAT BAD?
    #metallica #bobrock #larsurlrich
     
    So when St. Anger came out, all I heard from everyone that I knew that had listened to it was that it was garbage. At the time, Metallica wasn't allowing any streaming. It wasn't on the radio and since I wasn't going to buy it I never listened to it.
     
    Fast forward to a few weeks ago. I was thinking about movies that didn't do well when they first came out but went on to become cult classics and some, like John Carpenter's "The Thing" have gone on to be very well respected and highly influential. This made me think that their had to albums that followed a similar track.
     
    For some crazy reason Metallica's St. Anger was the first album to pop into my head.   I took the time and finally listened to it and honestly  I am confused by all the hate.  Apparently however, I am in the minority. All it takes is a quick internet search to learn that  St. Anger, even all these years later is STILL very divisive, but is it REALLY THAT BAD?
     
    So... of course the only way to settle this is do to a podcast about it! LOL!
     
    On this week's Loudini Rock & Roll Circus we ask the question that's been on your mind for years, Metallica's St. Anger; is it REALLY that bad?

    https://musicfeeds.com.au/features/in-defence-of-metallicas-st-anger/
     
    Some of their heaviest rock since and justice for all
    a return to longer songs...various tempos and sound
    not perfect by any stretch of the imagination
    looser guitar tone than fans are used to
    elements of doom, grunge, djent
    Kirk is terribly underused.
    Understandable why TYPICAL Metallica fans would hate it
    Very intense use of polyrhythms
    good harmonies
    Cliff Burton... will always be there bass player. Jason Newsted was always an outsider. -Bob Rock

    From the day that they broke up, December 4, 1980, Led Zeppelin fans had been crying for a renunion. All through the 1980s their influence could be felt. Band's like Kingdom Come, Bonham, 80s era White Snake and several others helped to fill that void but never quite fit the bill for true Zeppelin fans. 
    Then in the 1994 Jimmy Page and Robert Plant reunited for a series of shows which would be filmed by MTV and later released as the No Quarter album. 
    This was a milestone in rock music. Fans finally had the spirit of Led Zeppelin back for at least a few years and in 1998 Page and Plant released an album of new material in almost 20 years called Walking into Clarksdale.

    Tracks:
    Heart in your hand... lonesome guitar
    Most High... single...most zeppelin
    Blue Train... tender ballad about robert's deceassed son 
    Please Read the Letter... sounds like a b -side from Led IV... grammy song later with Alisson Krauss
    Walking into Clarksdale... something for the AAA crowd
    Golden Horse... Now were getting somewhere... good riff. cool "cinematic" string session ala Kasmir. although a little inconsistent with low key verses
    When the world was young... slow
    Burning Up... YES another rocker... still not the Immagrant Song or Whole Lotta Love... but I'll take it even though a bit mid tempo
    When I was a Child... left over from one of robert's solo albums
    House of Love... cool distorted drum sound... adventurous production and chord changes... but does it work?
    Sons of Freedom... interesting production and choices by page... but needs more energy from Plant. most aggressive track... should have opened the album
    Shinging in The Light... nice song ...maybe a left over from IV or Presence
    Conclusion... would have been better as a Robert Plant album with Jimmy Page as a guest
    Steve Albini
