To get real for a second- if you never saw Led Zeppelin live you can’t even imagine what is was like. I saw Metallica open for GnR back in the 90s and I actually started laughing. These little guys were trying so hard. Do you have a train track near your house? I want you to go as close to it as humanly possible and stand there when the next freighter comes through.

This is really fun and it’s interesting as hell. There is almost nothing about this band that Most of the people here don’t know. But ( and it kills me to admit this)i can’t tell if That is Keith or Mick imitating him. And I can’t tell if it’s Charlie or Steve imitating him. The closing the high hat says Charlie but MR Watts wacked the fck out of those drums and this is a bit soft. Love th

Of course he’s wrong gaslight, but the whole point is he’s inviting you into a conversation. Why do you think I was complimenting him because I’m so sweet and nice to everyone? Btw stop trying to fight with me all the time. It’s not happening,you let something slip about yourself that hit home with me and if you think I’m ever gonna add to that level of pain you’re talking to the wrong dude.

QuoteLorenzAgain Look, Steve basically had to force Keith to record his last solo album and to take the time and write actual songs. Keith was ready for retirement. Still, lots of songs remained somewhat more fragments or ideas than actually complete work. Mick is still writing and he’s been the driving force for a while, Keith just has his usual nostalgic comments on the process. I totally appro

I think this is gonna be a Mick project for better or worse. Jagger has a very valid approach to the band. Keeping them current is and always has been very important,the band was on the verge of extinction when Mick put Some Girls together. And make no mistake,that record was 97% Mick Jagger.punk, disco, some hybrid rap( shattered) who did that? Bill. Charlie, Ronnie,Keith? Get real. I think

Brian was never fired or “sacked” as you say from The Rolling Stones.There was no one there who had the authority to do any firing. A lot of that is the drunk tough guy 80s Keith saying “ so we all went down and told him “ hey ya c-ck you’re fired” on the 25x5 video. Like most of what Keith said for about 20 years it was nonsense. Find the 1971 Keith interview he did at Nellcote for Rolling

I think Charlie’s passing has alot to do with us, well many of us anyway. It’s a huge loss that we will never get to watch him play drums again, I liked watching Charlie play a great deal. We will never see that moment when Mick introduced him and the place erupted. To see thousands of people smiling and cheering, in a world where people do not seem to agree on much anymore that was a unanim

He’s said a lot of the women in the songs are combinations. I think that’s true to an extent but I think it’s also a bit of covering up who he’s actually singing about. I wish I could give the writer credit who after interviewing him many times observed “ with all his insincerity Jagger is hiding just how sincere he is “ It’s understandable, there’s a lot of emotion in those songs which is why

This isn’t some abstract theory for me, I saw Plant,Daltrey,Rod Stewart, Freddie Mercury,Jagger and many others from about 20 feet away several times during the 1970s. None of them were close to Mick Jagger. It was clear then and it’s clear now, The GOAT.

If they try to put too many songs on it they’ll blow it again,we’ll be lucky if they have 5 or 6 strong tracks. 3 of the big 4 only have 10 songs and each one has a cover.Exile has 18 songs with 2 covers. To think they could have 15 or more worthwhile songs right now is a dream.it’s 2023 not 1971.

I’m a fan of LIVE music, acts that can bring people out to a venue for a night of music. It’s why the Stones, in my opinion will always be better than the Beatles. Ask a Beatle-head and they go into some nonsense, endless nonsense about playing clubs in Germany. I’m talking big time tours done in big league stadiums and what this young lady did was straight out phenomenal. If you look at a

First off tiffanyblu, you are adorable. The thing you need to realize is with the exception of AC/DC none of those bands you mentioned still exist. When any artist is gone their legacy is picked over, lionized,mythologized,and basically made out to be more than they were. Queen for instance were a great band.
