Quotekovach I remember reading somewhere the Stones heard the Byrds were going on tour and asked Gram why he wasn't heading to meet them and basically said he'd rather hang out there, and they kind of got disillusioned with his work ethic and told him to hit the road. That was 1968. Mathijs was asking about 1973 - it's a great question. Greenfield is probably, but not necessari

On second thought...I never considered this until tonight. This is graphic, but (not firsthand knowledge) when people mainline heroin, they stick in the needle (plug in), draw out blood (flush out), and inject the heroin and blood back in (fire the f0cking feed, if you will). However...Keith didn't mainline. He injected heroin intramuscularly. So, maybe it isn't about shooti

Quotekv2915 They could sell a few stadium shows in Vegas and make more money in less time than with the Sphere. I don’t need Adele like pricing to keep the hardcore fans away. Vegas would gouge. It's not "Vegas" that would gouge; it's the Stones. Mick likes money. A lot. -swiss

QuoteDandelionPowdermanThe easiest way to distinguish Brian's and Keith's slide playing is to listen for vibrato, which is totally absent in Keith's playing. Love In Vain has soul and style, but lacks vibrato. Great point, Dandy! And His Majesty - yes, I hadn't thought of You Got the Silver similarities. Thanks both. -swiss

His Majesty - qq: is there any slight remote possibility that Brian played the slide part in Love in Vain? I was listening to the isolated slide part last night and I thought...that sounds unlike any slide part KR has played, or even played on Let It Bleed. I know in May 1968 recording sessions at Olympic, Love In Vain was played (with possibly early recorded takes). -swiss
