@@richardkasel3438 maybe the album was, but I remember Mixed Emotions as well as Rock in a Hard Place being played on the radio in the early spring of 1989, then.
This song is about something we all can relate to. We all at one time have mixed feelings and emotions. And we all go through it at one time or another 🎉🎉The Stones are always making songs that are relevant to the times.
This album was a great return to Outstanding Hard R&B. This is The Rolling Stones man. Treasure them now, They wont be around forever. Go and see them everyone, They look like 50 miles of bad road, But they are truly rolling stones, and they are in it for the MUSIC!
Wow, when's the last time you heard THIS great song on the radio? It's been years! I think after the 90's FM radio simply removed it from their playlists. Such a shame too. This is classic Stones.
scarrie729 Interesting, those are exactly the two songs (along with "Miss You" and "Start Me Up") that get WAY more play than the other songs. Hilariously, the only reason "You Can't Always Get What You Want" doesn't get played as much nowadays is because radio stations prefer not to play longer songs. Nowadays a long song is only reserved for special occasions, such as "American Pie", "Free Bird" or other songs. Just... awful.
Unless you're looking for it you won't hear it. I'd put this in my top 5 favorite Rolling Stones songs and people I know born before 1955 or after 1985 have never heard it.
What a great comeback song,album,and "comeback"tour after an eight year touring break.I didn't think The Stones would survive the mid eighies.Yeah,we got Undercocer abd Dirtrywork but the Steelwheels tour was great! Saw them Sept.10.1989 in East Troy.Wis.(by millwaukee) for the first time.One of the best shows by The Stones I've ever seen!
It’s underrated, but it’s still The Stones. Can it be underrated if it’s by one of the biggest bands in the world? Hope I’m not the only one with mixed emotions
I'm not much of a stones fan, preferring the Beatles. BUT, to me, this is their best album and I could listen to this song forever. Just flat out, stripped down rock and roll the way it is meant to be. Thanks for posting.
This is their best album. The Rolling Stones are infamous for having filler on their albums. They typically had one to three singles that were hits and the rest of the album was terrible. Steel Wheels was a solid album.
Saw the Stones in LA during the Steel Wheels tour. The band was great, played all the songs from the Steel Wheels album as well as a wonderful section of past hits. There was also another band performing that evening. Guns & Roses kicked off the concert. This was the second time I'd seen the Stones. First was just after the release of Sticky Fingers.
i was working for new jersey bell when we went on strike in august of 1989, had this cd cranking during my shift duty at the montclair central office off bloomfield avenue montclair, new jersey
Button your lip baby Button your coat Let's go out dancing Go for the throat Let's bury the hatchet Wipe out the past Make love together Stay on the path You're not the only one With mixed emotions You're not the only ship Adrift on this ocean This coming and going Is driving me nuts This to-ing and fro-ing Is hurting my guts So get off the fence It's creasing your butt Life is a party Let's get out and strut You're not the only one That's feeling lonesome You're not the only one With mixed emotions You're not the only one You're not the only one You're not the only one You're not the only one Let's grab the world By the scruff of the neck And drink it down deeply Let's love it to death So button your lip And button your coat Let's go out dancing Let's rock 'n' roll You're not the only one With mixed emotions You're not the only ship Adrift on this ocean You're not the only one That's feeling lonesome You're not the only one With mixed emotions
The last band to record at Sir George Martins legenday AIR Studio in the Caribbean island of Montserrat before Hugo destroyed it ( a large part of the music video was shot there, along with all of The Police videos for the aong on ghost in the machine that was also recorded there exclusing Invisible Sun), what a tune and LP, still sounds as good today as it did back then (Watts snare really cracks hard on vinyl, whoa), legendary band, studio and album. 🤘
J'ai écouté ce morceau des vieux grâce à Richard Bellia. Il en a parlé sur sa page FB à la mort du Charlie Watts. C'est te dire si je suis calé sur les Stones...
- Lead Vocals: Mick Jagger - Electric Guitars: Keith Richards, Ron Wood & Mick Jagger - Bass: Bill Wyman - Drums: Charlie Watts - Organ & Piano: Chuck Leavell - Brass: The Kick Horns - Percussion: Luis Jardim - Background Vocals: Mick Jagger, Bernard Fowler, Keith Richards, Sarah Dash & Lisa Fischer.
Mixed Emotions Is A Great Straight Up Killer Rock Song By The Rolling Stones And Totally Rocks It Needs To Be Fully Cranked Up All The Way To Full Maximum Volume.
When it comes to a drummer playing in the pocket not many are as good as Charlie White...and the bass line is perfect as well as the guitar riffs of kieth Richards and to bring it all together is the vocals of Mr. Mick Jaggur....awesome song indeed, pure rock and roll
So fucking jealous you heard this on conventional radio! Most people who aren't diehard fans haven't heard it since '89 even though Steel Wheels sold millions of albums and this was probably the Stones most profitable tour. It was also by far their best album of the 1980s.
Heard it for the first time in at least two decades on the radio just last week. I had to play it again when I had a chance. Great fucking tune and some of the best the Stones have to offer.
When you have gotten so used to hearing the album version & it’s extended outro, you come to loathe the edited single version, everytime I hear the single I feel cheated 😂
I thought the line was "who took on this ocean" ....I hear adrift now! I'm not a Stones fan. I only like maybe 6 or 7 songs so I never looked up the lyrics.
bill wyman was great in that album, it seems the band gave a very much needed leeway for him to do his best here something which hadnt happened in years , sadly bill wyman would leave them soon afte
This is such an under-rated Stones song. I put it right up there with some of their classics from 68-72 period. They put out so much crap in the 80's but finally got back on track with Steel Wheels.
November 2014 my life's ambition became reality I got to see the boys in action ha action how the fuck at 70 plus do these guys electrify the house and I mean electafy Mich has got more enery than front men a1/4 of his age, best 700 ive ever spent,and to be honest would've spent a Rio I pray to the rock gods they've got one more in them..........
