Quotedcba What I fail to understand is why Parr felt the need to diss Millard. When he was in L.A. he met the West Coast taper and years after, on the TTD forum all he could remember is that Millard was "a mess". To be fair, Mike Millard probably was a mess. His mental issues, for lack of a better term, have been well documented over the years. Not, mind ya, that given some of his own t

As much as I admire Robert's determination to forge ahead and generally not fall back on past glories, he's had the proverbial feet of clay as much as anybody. His first three post-Zep albums moved on from Zep's heavy blues rock, but with diminishing returns. At that point he started recycling Zeppelin motifs in his music, even bringing in Page to play a few solos. When it suits hi

Quotemickscarey Too bad he holds grudges Actually, I'd say it's Levon who holds the grudge, not Robbie. I read Levon's book; methinks he tried to give himself a bit too much credit for The Band in there. How many songs has Levon Helm written? Not too many- I'm sure if he had even a hint of the songwriting talent Robbie Robertson and Richard Manuel had he would have gotten a

As with any sort of 'archival' project, we probably won't see a definitive official Basement Tapes release until after Dylan, Robertson, etc are long gone.

IMO unfortunately I think the time for a Stones "comeback" has passed.

Along with "Exile", "Black And Blue" is probably my favourite Stones album; certainly those seem to be the ones I listen to most.

IMO bashers like John Bonham or Keith Moon are dime a dozen, but there is only one Charlie Watts. Everything he does he does with a lot of style and class, which is sadly more than I can say for about 95% of the drummers out there. The Stones wouldn't be "The Stones" without him. Anybody who derides Charlie's style as "boring" is missing the point. I mean, I like

What the Stones need in a producer IMO is someone with the balls to actually stand up to them -specifically the songwriters- and say, "Sorry guys, that's not good enough. Try again."
