I was just reading an old Rolling Stone’ article from the 1975 tour, where The Stones are heavily criticized for high ticket prices: 10 dollars each. One could argue that they have always been accused of high prices, but always sell out etc. However, 10 dollars in 1975 equals 60 dollars in 2024. Ticket prices of 600 dollars in 2024, would be 100 dollars in 1975. In other words: The prices are pra

Forum: Tell Me

It is well established that Sympathy for the Devil started out as a rather boring folk song ballad by Mick, that was turned into something else by Keith. The groove came from Keith's bass, which Charlie followed. The true masterstroke, in my opinion, was to substitute the acoustic guitar rhythm parts with Nicky's piano. Another masterstroke, was Keith's idea to do the "whoo-ho

QuoteStoneage ...So, Brian got 50 percent of the gage and the others had to split the other half? Not too far away from the truth. On the 30th of April 1963, Brian Jones met Andrew Loog Oldham and Eric Easton at Radnor House (Regent Street 93-97) to discuss a record contract between Brian Jones on behalf of The Rolling Stones and IMPACT Sounds. This was the basis for the contract Impact Sounds

QuoteTaylor1 Brian was a founding member who was instrumental in creating the band and it's unique sound. He is not overrated. With respect to Sympathy he most likely was important in turning the song from a Dylanesque folk song to the percussive album version. He was experimenting with African percussion on Satanic. But of course Mick and Keith wrote most of th

Definetely overrated. It is a very hip take to make online that Brian Jones was the true genius and the rest of the Stones are suckers.

My guess is that Mick has notebooks for each session filled with ryhmes and lines that can be used in different songs. Beggars Banquet is riddled with Biblical references, lines were shuffled across Exile etc. 95 % of Jagger lyrics are written from the "I" or "You" perspective. This is the beginning of Emotional Rescue: "Is there nothing I can say, Nothing I can do&qu

The vulnrability of the song strikes me considering the context of the time it was recorded. The Stones were perhaps at their most hedonistic and dangerous at the 1972 tour, but 1975/76 was darker, more tragic and sad. The coolnes of Hot Stuff, Crazy Mama and Hey Negrita was a bit false, an image covering the real state of affairs that is revealed in Memory Motel. Drugs had now become a serious p
