QuoteLieB Quotekleermaker But he is often too low in the mix, especially on the studio work. I sorta agree. He often has a very bassy bass sound, whether it's caused by the mixing or his bass. It's a bit too boomy with no definition. It doesn't stick out a lot, but if you listen to it, it is often quite audible. Hah. That's what I like about it. If you listen to any o

There's straight rock playing - which any good professional musician can do - and then there's personal idiosyncracies which lend themselves to creating something more interesting, and in Bill's case, better. Neither Charlie nor Bill are "normal" rock players, which is why the Stones rhythm section was (and I do mean was) so special. Darryl plays it straight. He's pr

QuoteTeddyB1018 This was not the way I heard it at the time. I heard none of the four Stones, including Charlie, were very pleased with Bill's behavior when they got together, and I was told this happened when they convened in the States for the Brett Morgen film shoot. This was from a very strong source, though I wasn't there myself so can't vouch any further than that. Maybe they

QuoteBlueranger I wish people could stop comparing it to Sgt. Pepper. It's almost in direct contrast to that album, though it was clearly inspired by it. But that doesn't mean that it should not be listened to on it's own terms, the terms of The Rolling Stones. As a Stones record, nothing is like it, before or since and therefore it is something really special. It does not

I think Dirty Work will be given a "deluxe" release by shrinking it down to an EP with three or four songs. Extras will include outtakes from Mick's Let's Work video shoot.

Quoteobonpaxis Quote71Tele I love the murky mash of Exile. LIB is a bit clinical sounding to me, almost as if solid state amps were being used (although I know that wasn't the case). I think that actually WAS the case. Lots of solid state Voxes and Triumph amps all over Beggars and LIB. Brittle, bright, and unforgiving. From Muscle Shoals on, it's a mix of Fenders and Ampegs.

I do take exception to LIB sounding better. Cleaner, maybe, but other than on Gimme Shelter, these songs sounded much beter when they "dirtied" them up live, particularly Rambler and LWM on Ya Yas. Of course, I love the murky mash of Exile. LIB is a bit clinical sounding to me, almost as if solid state amps were being used (although I know that wasn't the case).
