Paul Trynka's book suggests that Brian was the intended target of the Redland bust and that he was systematically hunted by the police which contributed to his mental state.

Quotepeoplewitheyes I thought Zak played great at the RAH, but the drum sound was terrible. Muted and quiet. Level 42 were the warm up act, and their drums sounded so much more vital and kicked you in the guts. Is it a simple difference of elec. v acoustic drum kits? I love the Who dearly, and think Roger has an incredible voice, but I have increasingly come to the conclusion over the las

Yesterday was the first time I say The Who live. I can't belive I missed such a legendary band all these years. I loved every minute of it. At the place I was sitting the sound was fantastic. Great to see that, as the Stones, they can also mess up a song or two.

QuoteRutger There are people who think that Harvey Mandel is a better guitar player than Ronnie Wood. There are also people who think that Ronnie Wood is a better guitar player than Keith Richards. Like a guy that plays in a local band told me last week. Many people will also tell you that Taylor 'can play circles around Keith', completely missing the point. I just don't take those

Quotewinos My take from far away in Australia waiting for another Stones tour here since 2014 .....is that Mick & Keith have sniffed the economic breeze and decided there's not enough money to be made this year in Europe. Many economies are struggling so maybe better to wait it out. Maybe they should come down to Australia & NZ for a holiday and tour! There is not much time left

I have never seen 28 penalty shoot out before. It was a rather cautious game from both Sweden and Czechia.

Canada - far too many unnecessary penalties. Weird from such a good team.

Another thing is that, at least for me, rocknroll is music which needs to be played (and heard and seen) live and there must be some sort of visual show by which I don't mean gigantic screens and expensive props but interaction between musicians and with audience. The Stones are the masters playing live. I even believe that they enjoy it.

Saw it in cinema yesterday. Fabulous. It is the first Stones concert move I have seen where Keith outshined Mick.
Forum: Tell Me

Keith is very eloquent (as almost always) and in this one he was surprisingly patient. He would deserve a good informed interviewer.

It may be rock, but it is also essence of American music (blues, gospel, country, rocknroll...). Masterpiece.

QuoteRutger I have to disagree. Just My Imagination from Hampton 81 is very good, but the Texas 78 version is even better. It's raw, has truly brilliant guitar interplay and Jagger's performance is at the very top. video: Yes, this is pure Stones. Unmitable.

QuoteGasLightStreet Quotepaulywaul Quotepoor immigrant Keith sounds great !!! You think so ? Really ? We're obviously hearing different things. To me, he sounds perilously close to being out of tune ! He's in tune. What isn't happening is Keith following the song structure, so he goes out of key, hence your idea of "perilously close to being out of tune". I

Quotetreaclefingers QuoteGasLightStreet Mick's enunciation is definitely something to behold, at least pre-1986. Since then it's been a, eh, well, anyway, his muddying of words, that sort of leering sneer he achieves by drawing certain letters out is way more important to the overall vibe of the song than how his vocal isn't really buried in the mix but blended just above enough:
