QuoteLeonidP He supposedly left the band because he didn't want to fly anymore My understanding is that he became disenchanted with the band's musical direction after All The Young Dudes and the drift into glam rock and pop singles. Bad Company was truer to his bluesy rock roots.

Just seen on social media that Mick has passed away at 81. Guitarist extraordinare with Mott the Hoople during their best years, I first saw him with Bad Company on their first UK tour. A fabulously melodic riffer, he sprinkled a little angel dust over some of the best of seventies rock. He had been in a residential facility for a number of years following a stroke. He was by all accounts a lovel

This is the only thread about the Stones' current activity. Sad to see it hijacked by a few individuals who can't seem to respect the views of others then use the thread for self-justification. It really does undermine the whole forum. We all have our views on the Stones over the years. You have made yours clear, so no further comment is required. It really is a pain for those of us

It's been a life-long roller coaster for me and many others on this forum. I'm just grateful for everything they've given us and will happily accept whatever the future brings. My gut tells me that the touring is over. As we lose more and more of their contemporaries, I can live with that. New album? Would be nice, but no big deal if it doesn't materialise. Anything at this

Sad news. Saw him with the Dolls a couple of times. Great shows. I played their first album to death back in the day and love it still.

Van the Man in Glasgow, March 30th. Indoors this time. Last three times I've seen him was at an outdoors bandstand in a local park. Honestly!
Forum: Tell Me

The truth is we don't know the real reasons for the tour not going ahead. The Stones' people are expert in smoke and mirrors and this may be what we're being fed just now. As a group, they don't owe us anything, as has been the case for many years. The quintessential live band, I really value all my concert experiences and the friendships this has helped forge over many yea

QuoteTate I’m a big Wilco fan here, and at first I was intrigued, but the stop near me is just them, Dylan, Lucinda,Waylon Payne, and Willie. I don’t know Waylon Payne, but I’m not sure I want to spend the $$ for a 60 min Wilco set and 92 year old Willie and 84 year old Dylan and Lucinda. I would tolerate Wilco just to see Dylan, Willie and Lucinda!

Quoteteleblaster Quotepaulywaul QuoteDandelionPowderman It must have been rough for your ears everytime Keith took a lead the last 62 years, Pauly! Well, very often it has been, you are absolutely correct ! Still love him though, but for me he's the rhythm king. With the exception of some occasional fills here and there, Keith and lead ? Forget it ! I had my doubts too on the first

Talk Is Cheap was a turning point in that he primarily used his lower vocals register throughout, a different voice from the vocals we were used to on Happy, BTMMR, etc. and of course his high harmonies with Mick.
