Tell Me :
Talk
Just before one of the recent shows, this one occurred to me. I thought of posting it at the time, but then decided not to. But now that there is a Dionne Warwick interlude in this thread....
Her music is so beautiful.
Bill didn't know the way.. obviously.
Say, when do you think the Sons of The Beatles guy will send another "Message to Michael"?--about the importance of recording a new Stones album, of course....

Bill saw the sign, and it opened up his eyes.

Better to keep both of them as far as possible from the Rolling Stones - they would ruin the whole point of the entertainment, and the magic predictable sound of the The Chuck Leavell Vegas Stones. Those quitters.
- Doxa
How dare you. Chuck is not predictable...he's safe and sane...the sanitizer...
ok.
This tour is showing that Taylor is similarly predictable though.
That what Vegas does for people. Poor him. But very well paid I hope.
- Doxa
It's there in his solo shows too.
Not in the ones I have attended to.
- Doxa
One of the problems with his O2 guest spots is that he played on songs where the bass is pretty useless so it didn't help him to make him much of an impression...Miss You would have been a lot better of course, maybe he should have insisted on playing on such a song when he had a bit of bargaining power. Another of his standout bass lines is "She Was Hot" but of course that one didn't get played. ER would be cool too even though it's not his...a missed opportunity for sure, but he's not doing anything to make it happen again.
That was a good one!
- Doxa
But when did he ever have any bargaining power within The Stones? It seems that was one of the main reasons for his having left in the first place.
Talk about your favorite band.

Haven't seen this posted and it's probably not worth a new thread since it's the SOS from Wyman...no whining this time though, just pleased with himself overall and explaining he's some kind of genius who turns everything he touches into gold ;-) Oh and he's leaving the country during the HP shows in case Mick came begging back!

Bill...the misterious bass player. He likely doesn't even know how he managed to contribute so decisively to make the "stones sound". But he did.
Is Darryl better player? Sure. He is thousand light years from Bill. Technically.
Darryl played with Miles Davis. Perfect.
Darryl seems a very good person (I'd probably buy him a car, I'd probably not to Bill).
BUT.... the hot, deep, volcanic, lecherous, spicy, lustful, rhythmical, strange, misterious sound of Bill is irreplaceable, unique, inimitable. And is missing. And Darryl of course has never tried to play like him.
Mick sometimes or Keith (mainly Keith) usinf cheap shots towards Bill is dissapointing. May be Charlie is dissapointed too...

Sorry to read that Bill was miffed at being invited to play on only a couple songs.
What part of "you quit the band, and now you're a guest" is hard to
understand for Bill and MT fans??
MT clearly gets it and is demonstrating why the decision to only play on a couple
and gradually work up to a few, is a good one.
Additionally, it's not like they didn't hire a replacement.

Glad that mr. Bill "the Quitter" Wyman is not ruining anymore the "Best Stones Yet". He never had a Vegas mentality anyway. He never was very entertaining, now was he?

Better to keep both of them as far as possible from the Rolling Stones - they would ruin the whole point of the entertainment, and the magic predictable sound of the The Chuck Leavell Vegas Stones. Those quitters.

This should clear it out - Bill' relationsship with the other ones.
Who said that?
Mick. So that's why I didn't go to America, you know? Because I said, "I'm not [traveling] for two weeks to do three concerts for two songs," you know? And I don't want to get into this anymore. We've said it enough times, but I realized you cannot return to something from the past after years, because it's not the same. School reunions, old girlfriends, divorces, getting back with the old wife – it doesn't work. It's the same with a band. So I'm quite happy with my life now, and we're still great friends. We still send each other birthday and Christmas presents, as we've always done. We're great friends. I see Ronnie at events and we socialize together but we don't do business. I do business with them if it's things that involve me, but I don't want to be in the band anymore, you know? I left that 20 years ago and the 30 years I was in the band was fantastic, but I've done other things. I did archaeology. I write books. I've got a successful restaurant. And I've got a beautiful family of three beautiful daughters and that's all I want in my life, you know?

Excuse me, you're also the bass player in an active touring and recording band, Bill. So what's so hard about reprising your role as the bass player in the world's greatest rock and roll band?

The above excerpt is only a tiny snippet of the interview, he is happy talking about other stuff throughout he interview. The interviewer asks him a question, Bill answers, tries to move the conversation along. end of, he isn't interested on dwelling on the 50th gigs.
