QuoteCongratulations Quote24FPS Keith seems to have understood how good Bill was. Really? I've always thought that Keith has underplayed Bill's importance, even when he was still in the band. Compare how often Keith praised Charlie to how little he's said anything good about Bill. There's a clip of Keith from a few years ago in which he is extremely complimentary regardi

QuoteFP Hard to tell the truth really between what Mick and Keith both day, adds to the confusion From what I've seen over the years, while Mick is often reluctant to say anything substantive in interviews, when he does cough up information it's generally pretty close to what actually happened. My impression is that Keith is only reliable in a general sense. If he describes a fist

I know that this was available on bootleg back in the 1970s, because I saw a copy. I've always wondered what a Stones cover of "Love Potion No. 9" would sound like. It's kind of puzzling that it isn't more widely available. I would have thought that once something was bootlegged there would be no way of putting the toothpaste back in the tube.

QuoteRocktiludrop To my ears it's not so much when did it peak so much as when did it become too overbearing on albums, in the 60s 70s early 80s it meshed with the music, then it started to stand out from the music.

"having created the most famous logo in the world" He wouldn't be the first artist to try to steal credit, but I'm surprised that a high profile news outlet would accept his claims without even a cursory Google search. Very strange that anyone would confuse a sleeve design that is obviously a riff on the theme of the logo with the design of the logo itself.
