Maybe he said that because of Altamont (although that happened after Woodstock, it may have influenced his overall view of the Stones). That craziness was due to the Hells Angels though, not the Stones.

Forum: Tell Me

An interesting thread, and I think you might be on to something here Doxa. One thing about 'weaving', especially when guitarists are chemically fueled, is it tends to fill in all the 'holes' in the melody line, where the vocals go. Overly busy guitar playing is hard to sing over. (I've been guilty of overplaying a lot myself, so its something I've become aware of).

I don't think of the Stones as metal at all. If ya get too heavy, ya can't roll, and the Stones are all about rolling. The Stones are strongly influenced by stuff like country, soul & reggae, and stay away from exotic scales like the Aeolian, or harmonic minor, etc., which makes them very un-metal (Also, you don't hear many horns in metal).
