Who, out of all the guests that the Stones have had play on their songs with them, is your favourite?

Axl Rose and Izzy Stradlin on Salt Of The Earth?

Angus and Malcolm Young on Rock Me Baby?

Dave Matthews on Memory Motel?

Eric Clapton on Little Red Rooster?

John Lee Hooker on Boogie Chillen (I know, that's not 'their' song)?

Probably lots that I'm missing but I actually liked Axl and Izzy on SOTE in Atlantic City '89. Don't know why. It just sounded good imo.

So, who's yours?

BEST: John Lee Hooker



WORST: dave matthews sucked on Memory Motel




** Don't forget to add Taj Mahal on Corrina to the original list.

I liked Bo Diddley doing "Who Do You Love?" with them in '94.

Buddy Guy was excellent on "Rock Me Baby" at the Boston Orpheum in '02.

Bo Diddley Who do you Love was great James

Mick Taylor; definitely.

"The wonder of Jimi Hendrix was that he could stand up at all he was so pumped full of drugs." Patsy, Patsy Stone

Angus and Malcolm Young on Rock Me Baby does it for me. Great blues stuff.

I think Dave Matthews was excellent on Memory Motel.

None.

Billy, where's Billy? And Nicky, but they are not really guests. None is my answer.

Bo Diddley on Who Do You Love 1994 pay-per-view. Nobody gets near it.

About the guest syndrome: sometimes it's fun to see guests on stage but they rarely add musical value. There have been many guests that shouldn't have been guests. Stones are best without guest. But no rule without an exception:

John Lee Hooker on "Boogie chillen" is truly great - though in fact the Stones were his guests on that song. And John Lee Hooker is great anyway, with or without Stones.

The best guests were seen during the New Barbarians tour in 1979. They just never showed up.

Billy Preston? Didn't he play at every show on some of the 70's tours?

Santana on SFTD (Hold On Tight) 27.6.75

The Stones are one of those bands who dont really NEED a guest to make a song better - plus they're not really a band who are great at improvising, so often it doesnt work as well as it should

In theory my fave guest would naturally be Dylan, but in reality most of the available 'duets' between Bob and the Stones have been shambolic.

I know its a bit predictable and has been done so many times that its become cliched but I actually enjoyed the duets on HTW with Sheryl Crow (shes done it with them at 5 of the 7 shows I've seen where she was the opening act). There was a good chemistry between her and the band. I think it was better than when Tina Turner joined them, actually. However, it only works when she's done HTW with them. Live With Me on the Miami PPV show was a tuneless abomination.

Bo Diddley's cameo on "Who do you love" on that gig was good. As were the various guest appearances on the Atlantic City show (Izzy & Axl, Hooker, Clapton)

I also liked Hubert Sumlin's guest appearance at the first MSG show in 2003. It was a nice touch to bring him on. Pity they didnt repeat the gesture at the PPV show two nights later.

best of the lot however : Angus & Malcolm Young on the last tour. Especially the version of Rock Me Baby at the Enmore show in Sydney.

No votes for Timberlake yet?

ooh man i blocked that Timberlake guest appaernce out of my head 'till now. Thanks Gazza! ;-)



Cheers,

Bo Diddley, Solomon Burke

Sheryl Crow on Honky Tonk Women 2002 or Live With Me 1994.

Gazza, my man, you saw Hubert too?? That was awesome, I was stage right, level one, that night so I overlooked the backstage area as well; Why he didn't stay longer is the question! What a cool guy! I watched him just amble off, no one even knew WHO he was! A shame! I was at the HBO show the next night and was disappointed that he was not there. I'm not sure I like Sherly Crow with the Stones, I think it's very forced! She seems so stiff and uptight around them.

no, no..LOL..I wish.

I have the show on DVD, however

Was a big kick for a friend of mine who's a close personal friend of Hubert (and who knows Keith through that friendship) - she'd heard about the guest appearance a few days earlier and it almost killed her to keep it quiet!

You're right about most of the crowd not knowing who he was. The Stones didnt even introduce him, which was a bit odd. Mick just acknowledged him afterwards

Nicky Hopkins on "Beggars Banquet"
Ry Cooder on "Let it bleed"
Sonny Rollins on "waiting on a friend"
Eric Clapton on "Brown Sugar" Keith's bday in 1970 from "Electric Motherf%ckers"
Flaco Jimenez on Voodoo Lounge

Too many to name...

Yes. what a huge over sight on Mick's part not to introduce Hubert! No one where I was sitting even knew WHO he was ! You have a DVD of that show? Is it a bootleg and if so, how is the quality? If he's a friend of Keith's, you'd have thought HE would have stepped up to the mike and said his name and thanked him! Those were both incredible shows! I went alone and my boyfriend just went to do other things while I was at the shows! Pisses me off that he doesn't share my enthusiasm for this band!

yes..theres a pro shot video/DVD of it..it was filmed by HBO as a back-up for the PPV show two nights later...the quality is pretty good for a bootleg

Mail me and I'll arrange to get a copy to you

Hubert Sumlin is also featured in the great DVD "Howlin' Wolf story (the secret history of rock and roll)" which also features the Wolf's performance of "How many more years" with the Stones sitting at his feet.

Hubert is such a sweet guy.

John Lee Hooker and Ry Cooder. And most of all the old school bros.

None of these new (post 80s) jacks cut it.
