QuoteRollingFreak Black Ice was just way too long. That was its biggest issue. They haven't had a truly great album where more than 1/3 of it is good in an incredibly long time. Same thing Stones fans here said about Bigger Bang about the length of the album/cd. Regarding a truly great album where more than 1/3 is good, I can't think of any band that has been around since the 60s/70s

Nice. Live vocals with prerecorded music. It's always funny to watch these 60s vids where the drummers are just playing along to a backing track. Charlie just air drumming. Even watching old Who videos where Keith Moon's arms are swinging everywhere but not hitting the snare or any cymbals. Can't remember if this was discussed here previously, when was the first time Bill moved

Back in my highschool days in the early 80s, I used to buy every Creem, Circus and Hit Parader magazine, as well as a number of Rolling Stone magazines. Whenever I would make a trip into Vancouver, I would hit the Import record shops and pick up the newest issue of Kerrang magazine from Britain. Apart from the Stones, my faves were Van Halen and AC/DC and they were featured heavily in those mag

Quoteskytrench WTF schillid? BIB...those were the days when nearly all the songs on the album were great, hard to top Hells Bells or Given the Dog a Bone.

Same for the later albums where Brian was taken off the songwriting credits altogether. Th

Quotefrenki09 Surfing with the Alien was number one at the time or close to number one, while Primitive Cool was not riding that high on the charts. So you could argue that the real star was Satriani, not Brenda. I wouldn't call his 1988 solo shows crap. That's a bit harsh. It was not something that people expected from him, perhaps. Satriani is a skilled guitarist. I haven't lis

Satch is an awesome guitarist, he taught Steve Vai and Kirk Hammett from Metallica. Problem is, he doesn't fit that style of music. It would be no different if Mick got Eddie Van Halen to play guitar on that tour.

40 years ago today, Back in Black was released. Second biggest selling album of all time worldwide behind Thriller. In North America, the band wasn't huge, with Highway To Hell being the band's first gold album in the US in late 79. After the release and subsequent huge sales, Atlantic released Dirty Deeds in North America in early 81 to capitalize on the band's popularity. T

I had a weird dream once probably back in the 90s. I was at the Royal Albert Hall concert in 66. Waiting outside the venue I guess by the back doors waiting for the Stones to arrive along with lots of other fans. I saw Brian but what's weird is that I knew he was dead and that I must have been dreaming! Not sure if that was the only time the Stones played RAH.

Don't think they did any band intros in the 60s, perhaps apart from Mick introducing Charlie to come up and introduce the next song like Little Red Rooster. Also, Long John Baldrey introducing the band at the beginning of Got Live If You Want It.

Quotepftw04 Personally I feel they should reconsider Ritchie Blackmore for their last concert whenever, where ever its is. He is the real Deep Purple If they do a farewell show, definitely Blackmore should be in it. Should also get Rod Evans and Nicky Simper and play Hush/Kentucky Woman as well as Coverdale and Hughes to sing Burn and Stormbringer!

QuoteElmo Lewis Any ideas as to what the Stones regular touring support musicians make? Ronnie was paid $250,000 for the 1975 tour - I read that somewhere. Mac was paid $15 or 20K for the 1978 tour. It's in his book. I would think Chuck and Darryl were well paid. I would have thought so too, but then they only play a dozen or so shows in recent years. So quite a bit of down time

Saw this on PBS couple weeks ago, an interview with Earl Slick and how he's been a sideman/session man for many different artists throughout his career. Also interviewed was Bernard Fowler, who said that between Stones work, he's always looking for work to do. Said something to the effect that he doesn't consider himself a Rolling Stone, just a sideman. I knew who Earl Slick was
