NPOV?

This goes on and on with some critic's opinion that this song is just "album filler," after very briefly mentioning another's much more favorable opinion. I do not think this is neutral. Why does this one negative opinion get so much space? In my own opinion this is the best song on the album after Sympathy for the Devil, and, maybe, Street Fighting Man (which is much better in its live version).

Could not agree more! This article reads like a review, a bad one. Personally I think the track is wonderful. Beggars Banquet is probably my favourite Stones' album. And these facts too are as irrelevant as, to my mind, the sublimely pompous opinions of Unterberger. Unterberger is a journo-critic. But again, so what? I have tagged the article as it either needs a substantial amount added to it, to balance out the opinion of Unterberger, or for Unterberger's op.ed to be edited down to the same length as that of the other's who are cited. The latter is the quickest, cleanest, easiest and most appropriate route to follow imo. LookingGlass (talk) 11:58, 17 March 2016 (UTC)

Involvement Brian Jones

I don't want to vandalise the entry but Brian Jones most probably didn't play electric slide guitar on this track: but he played the mellotron. Zapspace (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 07:03, 7 May 2013 (UTC)

As a seasoned musician, I can tell you plainly that Brian is not playing a mellotron, and here is the proof to be considered. The mellotron had absolutely no ability to slide back then, being it was a keyboard that played individual tapes. Nor could it feedback like a guitar, as it does in the middle of its long solo.

It has been well documented that Brian was a wreck from drugs during recording, which accounts for the sloppy sliding and not staying on the beat on each of the two staccato notes at the end of each slide. And at a mid point in his solo you can hear him stop inexplicably (thought to be from a drug haze moment) and his guitar feeds back where there was no feed back before.

Another thought to consider is that the Stones often recorded tracks alone, not with the group. And yet another, it wasn't just the band that was on drugs, it was usually all the recording personnel as well. Those specifics spoken of, most could not even remember. 2601:483:701:CEA0:6C:8D4B:3E24:A97C (talk) 14:56, 11 October 2023 (UTC)
