      @@ElectricLabel I thought so, too, until I saw Keith on the film made when the Stones were putting together the song Sympathy for the Devil, and there's a part where Keith has his black Custom plugged into his Vox Supreme amp, and he hit a chord halfway up the neck in Open D tuning and it sounded just like the guitars in Stray Cat Blues -- very trebly. I think the Vox amps had treble boost, and that might have been part of it. I don't think Keith got into Tele's until later on.

      @@ElectricLabel I don't think Keith's Custom had any mods. If it was wired with a coil tap, that would explain the piercing treble tone... But he may have used a Rangemaster treble boost (although I haven't read of him using one). I know the Vox Supreme he played through had top boost. One guy I talked to here on YT claims to have nailed all of Keith's 66-69 tones with a Custom and a Vox Supreme, so maybe it was something with the amp?

    Beggars Banquet is arguably one of the top three albums by the Stones. When you think about it within their catalog, specifically what preceded it (and I am not putting down the albums that came before), Banquet really stands out. Such a different sound compared to what had they had done previously. Simply a rock and roll masterpiece.

    Had to be a hell of a lot of fun to be Jagger back when Beggar's Banquet was recorded. Mick would have been 24. A great age for any young man...but exceptionally good if your the lead singer of the greatest rock band in the world recording masterpieces like Beggars Banquet...the first album in the Stones great 4 album run including Let It Bleed,Sticky Fingers and Exile on Main Street. The Stones had a lot of good albums...but those 4 are the only one's that fully capture their rock genius.

      In concert they were at their best during those days.They've kinda lost it as a performance act since 1972. Their studio work post 1972 however is not that bad. They still wrote plenty of great songs. Not as consistent as in their golden age but they still remained a pretty good band.

    For all you wonderful young lads out there who let us say are finding out for the first time some of the true gems of classic rock n roll and are being inspired to maybe emulate such music you can't find a better place to start with the album : Beggars Banquet, which of course youll find this song as well as many other classic Stones cuts. This album is the Rolling Stones at the height of their creative genius. May I also recommend the album Let it bleed which is also in that same time period. This my dear friends is what rock n roll is all about. As far as some of the lyrics go Keith Richards said it best: If it ain't on the edge man then it ain't Rock n Roll. Blessings.

    The Stones had an incredible DRONE thing happening in their recorded music in ‘68 and ‘69. Driving, churning one-chord (or I-IV over pedal tone) vamps that you never want to end. “Street Fighting Man”, “Jumpin Jack Flash”, “Midnight Rambler”, and, of course, the “Strat Cat” outro-it was a key element of their “evil” sound in this period. Was it coming from the Indian raga influences that Brian was superficially dabbling in but that Keith transformed into something completely different? Was it from the delta blues tradition? Was it just what happens when a guitarist first discovers open D tuning? All of the above?

      Anyway. To your point. My mind probably didnt want to believe what was being said in this song so every time Mick sang "thats no hanging matter" i actually, until i watched this lyric video thought Mick was saying, "...thats no hangin' on my tour". The way he says "matter" is different. I almost wonder if "thats no hanging matter" was purposely pronounced odd to kind of hide the intent or it could just be me.
