QuoteIrix QuoteDonParker What about Diana, the late mother of Charles' sons? Cattle? Diana is no longer alive (but she lives in the hearts of her admirers) - and the title Queen is only used publicly after the coronation. I'm not an outspoken admirer of Diana, but this circus today beats Monty Python's flying circus. Gimme a break.

QuoteThe Joker This lady has waited in a tent in front of the palace from Thursday 28 April to 6 May. That's nine days camping outside. Hats off That beats any waiting to get a ticket for a Stones club show. Tents off.

There's a thin -if not invisible line- between Republic vs Kingdom and politics and their representatives, etc. Having said that, give the king what belongs to the king. I do believe that the Coronation King Charles issue doesn't belong to the greatest Rolling Stones site in the world.I also do understand that it must be a dilemma for the moderator.

QuoteTravelinMan QuoteDandelionPowderman I like that «Taylor inspired Hendrix-wannabe». Not true, of course: What's not true? The people (HMS) posting about Taylor noodling too much just need to listen to Wood on LA Friday on most of the songs, take Jumping Jack Flash. Whatever it is (manic Hendrix stuff), it isn't executed very well and it's boring. Wood admitted h

[email protected] I recently acquired an Ampeg Vt-22. Fully overhauled. I don't have great guitars. Just a bunch of squier teles and ephiphone lp and lp jr. I get real close to keefs sound. Now granted I have to crank the amp up near half or higher to get that sound but when I am alone the neighborhood hears me play! Lol. I have read that Keith used a tube screamer so I mi

"As you can see, the Stones magic doesn’t lie in having tons of gear. There are no massive pedalboards that need to be powered by special generators. The secret is the swagger that comes from a band that has great chemistry as a result of years of recording and touring together. If you possess a Telecaster, Firebird, Les Paul or some kind of Gibson ES model, along with a tube amp with spring

I remember using an Ampeg VT22 in combination with an Ibanez Tube Screamer and a '72 Gibson Les Paul Custom with PAF pick ups. That was in de mid 8-tees. The sound came quite close to Richard's and Taylor's sound during their '73 tour. Not the playing though.

Very good playing by Taylor, dirty sound, fluid, melodic and speedy at times. Too short. The best Ive heard him do over the last decade or so. Very Stones worthy.

QuoteHonkeyTonkFlash I'm just gonna go out on a limb here and suppose that neither Keith nor Ronnie were too thrilled to have Taylor playing on so many numbers. Those two had been working since 1975 at perfecting their two guitars-meshing-as-one thing and from what I've read, even though Taylor's not extremely loud in the recordings, on the stage he was so loud he was stepping all

Quoteblivet This is the reason I never bothered reading Life. By the time it came out I had already realized that Keith was almost entirely unreliable.

There's just no point in listening to anything the guy has to say about anything,

QuoteHMS Although Angie turned out to be the huge hit they hoped for, they do not very often perform it live, that makes me think they are not so very fond of it. They sounded quite inspired when they played it live in Brussels '73. They gave it all they got, heart and soul, Jagger & Taylor in particular.
