The first Barbarians of 1974 was a band musically very tight and very serious and focused. With Willie Weeks, Andy Newmark, Ian McLagan and keith of course it was all about the music. The musical Zeitgeist of the mid 70's(musical virtuosity and technically pushing the complexity to higher levels) must participated in setting up the musical bar. Then the new Barbarians of 1979, it is differ

It is still my favorite Rolling stones album although I love them all.To think that they just went to Muscle Shoals and "just like that" recorded WH, BS and YGTM shows how music was part of them because they had been on the road and they were on the top of their game. The Stones were inspired, and eager to prove that their enterprise was going to start on a high note.That is my impressi

They've given us some divine music over the years, but that last lil covers ep was rather forgettable. The VINYL of Before The Frost...Until The Freeze is quite possibly one of THE best albums ever recorded. I just listened again the other day. Absolutely exquisite. Appaloosa is one

If I remember correctly, it is 2 parts created separetly 1 by Mick and 1 by Keith that were put together and it worked.The chord progressions, the grooves and the lyrics in both parts are simple but very effective at drawing the listener emotionnally into the song. Great song by Mick&Keith! Rockandroll, Mops

Who would have thought that the "rebels" Rolling Stones needed a "Leviathan" to help them make their record. Of course Andrew is not an autocratic producer but it seems that when he told them something they listen to him, putting their differences aside. Thank you Andrew. Rockandroll, Mops

I noticed that Mick is getting slightly annoyed at Jimmy's repeated impressions of him. I don't blame Mick. At first it was funny, well produced but now it has become a cheap shtick; Hey Jimmy, don't be lazy and try something new, pal. Rockandroll, Mops

When Howard did a 5 minute pre-interview phone call with Keith this week, Stern was a little star-struck at the beginning of the conversation but Keef put him at ease by saying " hey man you are Howard @#$%& Stern !!"

Howard wants to know about the process of creating songs and music that Mick and Keith go through while composing. Howard likes specifics; Paul Simon was great at explaining using examples and details that were not too technical so it was easy to understand. With Keith, it is going to be different because Keith is often evasive and figurative in his answers, not detailed and meticulousl. But mayb

By the time the Stones released Angie their image had solidified into them been a hard living and hard playing rocking band. I believe that it must have been a surprise for them to see how the public at large accepted a soften version of the band. But it showed that the Stones' capacity at adapting and at evolving into a cameleon-like music business was strong and enduring. Rockandroll,

Angie broadened the rolling stones's commercial appeal. It went deep ; older people, people who did not like them before were seduced by Angie. At that stage of their career it was remarkable. Angie was on the radios all the time (France). In my opinion it is a great song. I trust the song, I let it take me over each time I listen to it; I don't resist emotonnal arrest by Angie, I thin

QuoteMelBelli Mick said he was taken with the architecture of bridges, and that was going to be the name of the album — “Bridges.” And then the playwright Tom Stoppard suggested adding “…to Babylon.” In 1996 Bill Clinton used "the Bridge" as an image and a slogan to connect the 20th century with the 21 th; the bridge was cool around that time!

RIP Robbie. Beside a great musician, he was a fasinating story teller. He loved rock and roll and he lived the life of a rocker, starting at an earlier age (16). He kept his passion for the music and was enthousiatic at sharing it with all of us. He was very rationnal and stable and did not seem to have been affected by the star system like so many of his comtemporaries. Rockandroll, Mops
