Not only that Lukester. But back in the day when they would do 10-15 min. versions of Whole Lotta Love. Plant always seemed to throw in a few Elvis style lines. Also with The Honeydrippers,didn't he do a song that he sang like Elvis on?

"It's just some friends of mine and they're busting down the door"

Hey what about that classic story Ronnie Wood tells of when he
and The Killer were both having their hair done before a TV appearance....

Female hair-dresser says to Jerry Lee...

"Ooow Mr Lewis you smell nice, what do you have on?"

" We'll honey I got a hard-on but I didn't know you could smell it!!!"

keith didnt play the Orbison "Black & White Night" special, but they were both on that Gram Parsons Tribute 3 years ago. Funny thing is I met Burton a few months ago and got him to sign my DVD of it, and he looks at me and says "Did I play at that?" I points to a pic of him and said "yep..there you are" and he says "Oh yeah..I remember that. That was the one Keith Richards played at!" Obviously impressed!

He must be at least 70, but hes still a sensationally good guitarist. Makes everything look so effortless and still plays the guitar round the back of his head. An absolute gent, too.

Keith has stated his favorite guitar solo is Scotty Moore on "Mystery Train." He also names CB's "Little Queenie" as another favorite in the same interview.

Except maybe Fonzie?

Not even fonzie

I remember Fonzie saying that James Dean was the coolest, but Elvis was close.

Jimmie shure was cool and one of my alltimes favorite actors

but really the image of Elvis on stage in the 50´s cant be beating its the ultimate off coolness
