Imagine Clapton joining them in 69', a superstar in his own right, at the height of his fame & ego, getting along with Keith & Mick.

Quotepunkfloyd John Bonham was the best rock drummer in my opinion. Keith Moon WAY too much banging around. Bonzo bashed way more than Moon ever did. When he tried to play other styles, like that sort-of-reggae thing on D'yer Mak'er it sounded pretty bad.

Worst set-list would be one made up entirely of post-81 songs. The worst "guest" is already there playing keyboards and he considers himself one of the Stones so what can a poor boy do.
Forum: Tell Me

Maybe for the encore they could come out with all of these guests plus a few others (Bieber, Katy Perry, Taylor Swift, Eminem) and they can sing the Live Aid song.

If it was up to Keith maybe Brian wouldn't be mentioned as well.

QuoteDoomNGloom The time has come for the Stones to do what they do best: Bring some much needed joy back into this (all too often) joyless world we live in. The Rolling Stones are the greatest joy givers (along with Santa Claus, of course) the world has ever known. This is what they were born to do. It is their destiny. It is also time for Stones Nation to come together as one. There is a tim

The "riff" at the beginning sound like they just added some tape of Keith Richards tuning up to the song. Still it's miles better than Doom & Gloom.

The studio version is one of the best blues covers of all time. The Mick Taylor solos from 69 to 72 are sublime. I don't like the 78 version, the one from Live In Texas is ruined for me by Wood's second solo where he does his usual thing of playing the highest notes possible without making any sense.

QuoteHis Majesty QuoteChristian Is Keith playing in standard tuning tuned down like the guy in this video? Sounds right enough, so probably yes. It's certainly not standard tuning, but the D is played on the 6th string. That guy also strums too much.

Quotedandelion1967 Quotestones78 A song is the melody and the lyrics. A piano part does not make a song, take the fantastic piano out of Loving Cup, the song is still there. If that warrants a songwriting credit then why not give credit to Bill because of his bass on Under My Thumb? Or Charlie for his playing on Get Off My Cloud?

His "explanation" of the technique he uses for playing solos or whatever in Chronicles to me is indecipherable, I went through countless times and don't understand a single thing he says. "I don’t know why the number 3 is more metaphysically powerful than the number 2, but it is" "Popular music is usually based on the number 2" Sure Bob.

There was also the matter of Bill misspeaking or misunderstanding the arrangements of Taylor's financial settlement with the Stones when they parted ways, or perhaps the options Taylor did or did not have.
