My Stones
Maybe he's ticked off cause the best bass lines on Stones songs are by other musicans. This guy couldn't swing or get through a song live without messing up. Thank God for DJ!
This kind of obtuse ignorance and denial epitomizes the haters and artistically lost hypocrits who would diss a brilliant player on the basis of intentionally distorting press, which is usually already distorted in the first place.
imo, disturbed lemmings running off the cliff of sanity with a pile-on mentality. Haters, not lovers, of The Rolling Stones incredible catalog of incredible music with the most brilliant organic chemistry.
Wyman was solid as a rock for decades, and in a brilliantly original way that is a huge part of their sound on all the most important and wondrous stuff that made them famous and important and unbeatable.
To even have to state that here shows how some destructive and misleading we can be here on the premiere fan site...
... and when bill retired from the band, & finally took time to start and enjoy his home & family and other interests, he gets consistently slammed and his wry, open and often sweet commentary gets scorned.
I guess his happiness just kills some people, who should be grateful and astute enough to understand his contribution musically, for some reason. don't they play Rolling Stones albums? It took
that particular 5 (6 with Stu) and for "fans" not to get that, is hopeless.
sick doings these consistent and unfair, impotent continual attacks on wyman.
There will never be another rhythm section in rock and roll music as powerful as charlie, keith and bill. Ever.
(Tho if they hired a rock and roll bass player with boogie roots it would be a great, fantastically exciting & inspiring thing for them.)
the recent sales numbers on 'rolled gold' continues to prove that the general public knows what's great about Stones music. they feel it organically, even if they don't know the endless trivia that delights and informs us...and imo are more intuitively musically astute than a lot of the supposed big 'fans,' who cannot seem to stop talking jealous, distorted syncophatic crapola.
The music is sublime. Thank you for hanging in so long Bill.
