Now this is why I come on IORR, a brilliant insight Schillid, you landed lucky that day. One of the best Stones videos and you were right there at it's conception but to be handed a leopard pattened joint from Keith is the business. What a memory and so cool to have got the photos and have shook hands with keith. That has been one of my bucket list things to do and I got very near to doing

Ha ha ...yes, that's what I was thinking. 'or maybe'!

Yes, I;ve read the wiki stuff which explains clearly why they chose it for the Zeppelin cover...it doesn;t explain why the Stones chose to film at that particular exact spot!
Forum: Tell Me

Great photos ! and a partial explanation, but still I'm wondering out of all of New York it still seems strange that the Stones and Zeppelin chose that building...seemingly without relevance to each other. Obviously the Zeppeling cover came first, so when the Stones decided they wanted to shoot a video for WOAF who made the decision to pick that street and why and surely it must have been
Forum: Tell Me

Just out of interest, does anyone know the connection -if indeed there is one, as to why the Stones chose that very building/stairs to film WOAF. It has to be more than coincidental, there are millions of buildings not unsimilar around New York and it seems strange that they would opt for exactly the same one as Zeppelin. It's something which has always puzzled me and I have never found an

Deeply saddened at this news. But 80 is a fine old age, and Charlie has done more than the majority of people will ever do and lived his best life. Really feel for the rest of the band and of course his family. He was one of rock's great characters and it will be a strange world without Charlie Watts being out there somewhere. Charlie's good tonight innhie ! RIP Charlie x

Glastonbury...so if it was the last time, it couldn't have been more fitting as I've been going to Glasto since 1979 and watching the Stones live since Les Abattoirs. Compared to many on here I haven't seen them that many times, I had a count through and it only adds up to around 15 gigs but some of them were classics. I also had the pleasure of seeing the New Barbarians

QuoteHairball As the dust is beginning to settle, I'm still loving this track, and at this pont it would be impossible and wishy washy to all of the sudden say it's lost it's charm, or has no staying power, or it's not as good as I initially thought. It's been ingrained in my brain and it's a keeper no doubt, and I'm sort of surprised with myself for not having

QuoteStoneage I don't get the adulation for this track.To me it's pretty bland. Nothing to write home about. It's like any track they have written since Undercover. I don't see the greatness of it. But it looks like I'm the only one not joining the chorus of praise... You are not the only one Stoneage...I've played it dozens of times since its release and it stil

Got quite excited at the prospect of something new...sadly having heard it a few times, I'm decidedly uninspired. I wanted to like it, I really did, but it sounds like so many of those dull filler songs from many recordings through the years from Dirty work on. I'm probably not the best person to review new Stones material since I don't rate much since Tattoo You. Many

I'm 57...started attending concerts when I was around 13 which was mid 70s....sound systems were temperamental and losing the sound from a stack or Pa was common place, especially at outdoor gigs and festivals. My earliest experience of seriously loud concerts was Hawkwind and Motorhead....then I saw AC/DC and that took it to another level and I'm not exaggerating when I say I had ring

There is no way on this Earth that Keith is making a mistake on the opening chord of SMU...as someone who often plays this on guitar, it is one of the easiest riffs to play...Happy is far harder (still easy in guitar playing terms). He clearly does it to annoy someone, most likely Mick. Maybe we should all ask the question on the next keith questions on his web site.

They couldn't re-create that kind of vibe again....it was of its time, drug and booze fuelled, with an attitude thrown in by young enthusiastic musicians at the peak of their game. Then the set ups with the sound etc, again was of its time and they'd find it hard to replicate with modern digital equipment.
