Who plays bass on the album version of UOTN? It's not Bill right?

The sound is a bit too weak and polished.

QuoteGasLightStreet QuoteWuudyThe second favourite moment is his fill at the beginning of Keith's solo on Gimme Shelter - St. Louis '97 which is on the official DVD. There is something about it that makes it too good. It locks in perfectly with Keith's playing. I've watched that bit over and over again. Love it! There is a lot a nice work of Charlie on that recording. The

Quote6853 my opinion: I have never seen Lennon play "lead" guitar and i dont think he was lead guitar player at all. if im wrong pls gimme some exsamples. Keith's solo is fast and furious and pretty tasteful. Be happy for not seeing John "play" a solo. He was definitely not "fast, furious and tasteful":

Taylor is playing the first half of the solo in the major scale and the second part in the pentatonic scale. How groundbreaking.

Quoteflacnvinyl Ronnie is by far the most underrated guitarist in rocknroll history. I would love to have a beer with him in my lifetime. And he is probably also one of the most interesting guitarists around. He is impossible to put in a simple category like "riffmaster" or "elite soloist" but still incredibly successful and popular (which is probably why he makes certain p

QuoteRedhotcarpet QuoteDandelionPowderman Another great one: Ahh, now we're talkin. And Bärs, yes, Ronnies short but well rehearsed solos in the 90s and now are good, generally. But he can't perform a "real solo" like Worried about you, Sway etc. He did some great things, real deep down dirty south slide licks on Midnight Rambler in 1975 (turning this fine wine into a

The market is what people want and are ready to pay for. If you love CB and want to spend an hour together with the old rocker and don't give a shit about solos in the right key, then you buy his tickets. Apparently there are many such fans out there.
Forum: Tell Me

Whether he should tour or not is simply a question of what the market says. It's that easy. We can of course discuss the quality of the performance from a strictly technical point of view, but that's beside the point. It might well be that the audience is perfectly fine with just spending some time together with him and doesn't demand anything more at this stage of his life.

Forum: Tell Me

It's a part of Keith's personality to always try to have some close buddies and to bitterly reject persons who deliberately are not part of that circle. If someone has contacts outside the circle, he thinks of it as a personal betrayal unless the person for some reason is admired in an almost naive way (Stu, Charlie). Many insecure and lonely persons are like that. Of course Bill and Ke
Forum: Tell Me

Keith knows probably how good and important Bill was but won't admit it because of some personal issues that can be hard for us to understand. It is actually a quite normal behaviour and I believe that we are all guilty of similar behaviour. From Keith's point of view Bill is just an ordinary guy, not a legendary rock star.

QuoteMathijs Keith just never had anything in common with Bill, and he didn't like Bill's playing very much. And the latter has always amazed me, that Keith never seemed to have been able to understand why the Stones where such a great band, and that Wyman was such an integral part of it. Their choice of Darryl Jones as replacement says it all. Mathijs Yes, it's strange. Darry

QuoteLuxuryStones QuoteBärs I don't get why everybody is talking about the "fast" tempo. The tempo is medium on the Exile version. It has a 4/4 194 bpm feel, which is very fast in rock. If you play the shuffle beat on the drums it flows along in a standard boogie/swing/jazz up-tempo tune. Well, it's faster than medium tempo but not that fast.
