QuoteDandelionPowderman Back to the original topic: I think something was decided before their "comeback" in 1989, when it comes to Ronnie. During the 80s he wrote with Keith, and was credited. Seemingly, that stopped during the writing process for SW, and has remained that way ever since. They rearranged their business by including Wood and Watts in the Stones Corporate organizat

QuoteTravelinMan WOAF: The Virgin Jump Back album from the 90's has Taylor listed on guitar, and he has said so himself. I have to assume he played the acoustic unless someone can prove otherwise. For years I argued there was an acoustic and nobody believed me! The Stones liner notes have always been awful, they don't have a clue. It could have been anyone playing the acousti

QuoteThe Worst. The fact that Keith Richards contributed zero on Sway and Winter (and others) but got credited 50 %, and Mick Taylor who contributed a lot, got zero credit on the same songs, must be the very definition of unfair. If Jagger was the main writer of Sway and Winter but still needed to add another guitarist to be credited with him, it should – in a fair world – have been Taylor and no

QuoteDandelionPowderman I can do Sway and Moonlight Mile: «I added my solo to Sway, but it's very much Mick's song». «I had an influence on them. I mean, would Sway have existed without my contribution? Probably, but not the way it does. And the same goes for Moonlight Mile. I remember Mick writing that one in a train carriage on the way from Paddington to Bath». So, yes, of c

QuoteThe Worst. In a fair world, the credit should/could have been: Jagger/Taylor: Sway, Moonlight Mile, Winter, Time Waits for No One Jagger/Richards/Taylor: Bitch, Silver Train, Waiting on A Friend Jagger/Watts/Wyman: Heaven, Sex Drive And I'm pretty sure that a few tunes are actually Jagger/Wood. This is all pure nonsense. All the songs with Taylor were written (mostly by Jagger

So is the mystery (for us guitar nerds) finally solved -what guitar/pedal/amp did Keith use for the fantastic Can't You hear Me Knocking? A few days ago someone posted Keith's rhythm track: There's a couple of hints that I hadn't heard before: at 1:10 Keith switches from the neck pickup to the bridge pickup. So this is proof that he used a Les Paul Custom, most lik

I am of the opinion that when the Stones were in their prime the true secret to their sound was the rhythm section of Wyman and Watts. And the more I focus on Wyman the more I am amazed by his sense of rhythm and melody -listen to the Brussels bootleg with the Wembley tracks and just focus on Watts and Wyman, its just incredible. It's lazy, it's simply played but complex to replicate, t

QuoteGasLightStreet QuoteRutger I must say this really is a pretty big surprise. The Stones haven't covered a relatively recent song for a long, long time. They are paying her a huge compliment with a recorded cover. That's for sure. Will be interesting to hear this one. In 1974 they covered Drift Away, which came out in 1973. That may be the newest cover recording in terms of time be

I think it is a great track! Yes, there are hints of many tracks, like Gloom & Doom, Highwire and a couple of Mick tracks. But the guitars are great, it rocks, the chorus is nice. My only gripe is Steve Jordan -he doesn't have the swing like Charlie had, and his drum sound very dull. It lacks the crispness and sizzle that Charlie had. Then again -it's Jordan who has revitalized

QuoteGasLightStreet QuoteDandelionPowderman Heartbreaker was fantastic in 1973, though. Very good in 1975 as well. Later on, Chuck never obtained that fat clavinet sound, and Mick never put his heart into it when they played it, imo. I've listened to those. Regardless of their agilities etc as good as they were in 1973 it just doesn't work very well. Horrific in 1975 with Mick'

Quotebabyblue QuoteThe Worst. There are many gems in this huge catalogue of great music. Some of which have never been performed live. A song like Time Waits For No One could have been a minor hit for any other band, yet The Stones have never ever done it live. Here’s my top 5 list of greatest songs never played live: 1. Time Waits for No One 2. Soul Survivor 3. Let it Loose 4. Casino Boogi

QuoteBig Al Quoteskytrench They are both much more than those labels. Beatles compositions are too advanced to simply be called pop. They were so innovative. The Stones are more traditional rooted in blues, country, pop, etc, but yeah they are definitely the better RnR band. I do agree about the compositions; especially those primarily attributed to McCartney. He was the multi-instrumentalist,

Quoteds1984 The Rolling Stones already reissued Ladies & Gentlemen. Maybe they consider that the market could not absorb the Phily 72? And or that is not good enough to be issued. Without excluding also legal question about a deal with ABKCO? Or that they simply have another things to focuse on? Or they do not have any master tapes of any of the 1972 shows? Mathijs

Quoteyearsinthemaking Does anyone know how the recording of these 3 shows got out and why are there only parts of each of the 3 shows? They made recordings for Radio Luxembourg, for the CS Movie, soundboard recordings, and for an album. Parts were broadcasted on Radio Cleveland as well. So that's why there's quite a lot material in different sound qualities, and some with overdubs.
