I have to admit; his timing was right on, and maybe it was because it was the loudest instrument during Pain It Black, but it has to go! I mean, why? Honestly, why? Why, why, why?
The guero in Gimme Shelter, the cowbell in HTW, the shakers in Brown Sugar etc, I love their use of percussion on stage. But with the triangle, I nearly fell out of my seat laughing!
Like Ed Grimley, his triangle must've been "pretty decent, I must say." But I can't be certain because there weren't any Havana Moon screenings in the States.
Pretty sure I often hear what sounds like a triangle every so often in 1989 versions of Sympathy. I have no idea if it's a sample, a keyboard or an actual triangle but it just sounds silly and out of place. Of course, unless you're listening with good headphones pretty loud, it's not even noticeable, but, but...why??
