I still remember when a journalist asked Mick to say "Grrr" out loud. Got him pretty embarrassed. The same goes for Honk, you're not going to hear him talk about it

I find the live tracks on Honk utterly un-listenable. Darryl Jones never was my fave bassist, but on these tracks he is god awful. I think it is impossible to find another bass player with less sense of swing.

Wow. That's pretty bad. Have you liked any of their live releases since 1995? Dancing With Mr D is pretty good.

I agree that Bill was the better man for the Stones. His old school fat sound just fits the Stones better. Darryl belongs to the Jazz and fusion departement in which he was outstanding. I never understood why the Stones hired Jones, or he joined the Stones. Probably for the money.

Spampinato would have been much better. And there are lots of other ones.
Wonder how the Stu Cook session was going.

Hard to tell with Keith. I know he can be a blunt jerk, but the negative interpretation of that quip would be pretty nasty to say to someone even by his standards.Quote

from what I recall the story i heard about stu cook was everyone who auditioned was asked to play the say thing. I think it was "miss you", "brown sugar", and a short jam . this was so the band and Charlie could get a feel for each player. supposedly cook played those 3 requirements then went about calling out songs randomly and the band obliged and he played with them over 2 hours. he left thanked them all and said something like "I had to see how long you'd guys let me keep jamming because this was probably the only chance i'll ever get to play with the rolling stones". I think keith then replied "If you weren't in CCR the auditioned would have ended almost 2 hours ago".
not sure if that meant they weren't really feeling his playing and would have just sent him home or just that he would have gotten the same amount of time as everyone else if he wasn't a former CCR member

I now remember that Cook story, but not who told it.
Was that Cook himself? Would have been quite nasty indeed.

Why not just release a third disc of the best studio tracks omitted from the Super Deluxe version of Honk?

Hey all,
After a cursory look for it, I searched for Honk’s 3 CD version yesterday. Apparently it’s sold out at the Stones online store, is priced at around £59 at Amazon UK - I found one copy in a chain store - Is this finally a deluxe edition that was exactly that?
