Yes the interviewer is SO annoying - he interrupts and prevents all sorts of interesting things being said. Sounds like a stupid postmodern guy who wants to have Mick speaking about "ongoing processes" and whatever "getting out of your bourgeois, your body, extend your perception". Perhaps he is shy and therefore overdoing it. But he seems to believe he knows what the Stones were about better than Jagger. ANNOYING! Love when he goes into one of his rants and Jagger, ever so polite, goes, "yes... that's quite obvious".
Jagger, v. interesting on soldiers from nam being reviled when going back home; the interview is clearly not following him because he cannot anticipate anything else than stupid hippy soundbites.
Jagger is cooooool!
Even worse it sounds like the rest of the band was not involved at all in the project.Quote

what a refreshing interview... hopefully a sign of more openness to come? So nice to hear him not strategically laughing questions off, or taking endless swigs from a water bottle (in fact, I think it's the interviewer--who I would guess is the editor in chief of the Italian mag, so he has a Wenner-esque ego--who gets distracted fixing drinks).
the only bad signs are: 1) the interviewer didn't really follow mick's technical discussion of the difference between remixing and remastering, which may discourage him from going on to discuss it with more able interviewers; and 2) keith is barely mentioned, the rest of the band not at all. It actually sounds as if he wants to reminisce about keith when he brings him up, but the conversation moves on.

Also, if he put percussion on the "new" tracks, perhaps the rumor of Taylor doing overdubs is true...

This is a fascinating interview. Unfortunately, the interviewer keeps interrupting Jagger every time he was about to say something interesting about Exile. I wonder which book Jagger picked up. I've been wanting to get one with all the recording dates, including the outtakes, etc. Any suggestions?
The Felix Aeppli books (the first "Heart of Stone", the second "The Ultimate Guide") are superb. Not the cheapest but worth every cent.Quote

martin elliott's book is one suggestion:
the rolling stones complete sessions
good oneQuote

bruce doesn't have a fake accent; but he's a fake blue-collar guy....
I know he wrote it in English. I thought he was maybe Dutch.Quote

>Now Martin Elliott did two books; the 2nd one complementing the first. It does not make many mistakes, includes unreleased tracks, but a couple facts make them hard to digest for me: the lingo tries hard to be hip and rockin but reading it from an English speaker viewpoint it over reaches it self to the point of becoming erroneous. I almost wish he had written the books in his mother language.
Huh? Martin is most definitely English and wrote his books in English....

I didn't think the interviewer was annoying at all. Look at the result. A superb interview. Maybe it take someone like that to bring out the best in Jagger; to challenge him. To challenge him in conversation.In a way Jagger sounded taken aback at times; that someone would dare to interrupt him. I have never heard Jagger speak like that; not condescending at all, not brushing through a topic by joking. There was some equal footing it seemed like. Even the obvious mistake about the Beatles mixing - who cares? So he doesn't know...big deal. Jagger made a huge mistake himself (even with the books). He said that everything recorded after 69 was "Exile". But they had "Sticky Fingers" in there.
