I was listening to/watching some stuff from '81 (Hampton etc) and I just love Keith's and Ron's sound and playing when they're both on Telecasters. On some later occasions too, like Satisfaction 97/98.

mmm...and here is the tele-king..:



2 1 2 0

and me i freakin love it when they're both on Gibsons


... actually i just freakin love the Rolling Stones

i like it when they're both on weed! ;-)

I like it when there both on key and on beat.

Unfortunately,they both weren't that much on fire lately ....



I am a Frenchie ,as Mick affectionately called them in the Old Grey Whistle Test in 1977 .

I never liked Strats as Stones guitars. Too bland. Teles are better, and my favorite Stones combination was KR with a Tele and MT with a Les Paul.

"Love it when they're both on Teles"

That depends on how and what they play....

I love it...when they both play...!!! (and the same song...haha)

Absolutely! Firebird and ES, or Midnight Rambler 2002 for example. Heavier sound, but I like this razor-like sound from the two Teles against Bill's bass lines.

I like the contrast between a Gibson and Fender sound. When there is a mix of the two there is rock and roll stew...

I generally agree, but Keith sounds awesome on that Mary Kay.

In my view there is much more tonal separation between a Gibson and a Fender than when the same make is used by both guitarists. It almost like the contrast between a viola and violin in a chamber orchestra...

Well, here they're both on a Gibson and Ronnie playing the bridge properly, which he didn't do on the Bang tour for some reason.

Exactly.

But the Strat is in my opinion, a poor Stones-type guitar. It has neither the twang of a Tele or the growl of a Gibson. It doesn't sound as good on the open-G rhythm, or on leads. They're great guitars for Clapton/Beck type players.

Ronnie's Strat tone is one of the Stones quintessential sounds!!!

Maybe it has become that. But it's not one I particularly enjoy.

It sure sounded good in 72 when Keith played one (Brown Sugar etc.), but I know what you mean, although I love Ronnie´s strat sound on the 75/76 tours - In 81/82 as well of course.

Agree about '72. That's kind of an anomaly to me. It seems odd to me know that he used a Strat for open G stuff, but he most certainly did.

They could play anything thru those Ampegs back then - and make it sound good

Wow....how can you 'love this'...It's the lamest of lame versions of any Stones tribute band around...It doesn't rock, it doesn't roll, there's no swing, no jive.
It is just totally void of anything....

Come on! Maybe a bit bland but it's not that bad.
They did surly worse than that.
And I like the video/performance. Was it from the official 94 video?

Hey, isn't that Keith's jacket?

Agree with Mathijs here musically spoken -yes, miracles happen - Las Vegas Plastic Rock.
