QuoteMathijs Quotekleermaker I simply love GHS. It defines the summer of 1973 for me. And after that the autumn in which I saw them play in Rotterdam, October 13. Good lord, what a sensation that was! Even though I prefer the Stones live, GHS is one of my favourite studio albums, in the same league with Buttons, Fingers, Exile and Aftermath. Silver Train on a sunny summer day, man, it's a

QuoteDoxa QuoteDandelionPowderman The song is so good that it doesn't need a guitar solo. The spot is taken by Bobby already. And what a great solo it is. It perfectly suits to the hot, sexy atmosphere of the song. A top class artistic choice - showing how damn inspired they were at the time - to put that there. A perfect example that the band was song-oriented, not guitar oriented unit at

Quotelatebloomer Ventilator Blues holds a special place for me as it is the song that hooked my teen son into the Stones. He never paid much attention to Exile when I had it on in the car, but that opening riff really caught his attention. "What's that song, Mom? Play that song again."...over and over again, I would play it for him. Now he has the whole album on his ipod, plus ma

I so wish they'd play Hide Your Love live with Mick Taylor given free rein to play one of his wonderful solos on it. And imagine if Keith, during his live slot, said "right, the next song is gonna be Coming Down Again". The audience would flip out. You bet they'd flip out! If the

Quotesonomastone Quotekpl I was at the show last night. Traveled from the midwest to Philly to see MT play with the Stones. Thought his performance was brilliant on Midnight Rambler and MT siezed the opportunity and was the dominant muscian on the stage during that piece. They just SOUND better as a band with MT on the stage. His call and respond to Micks harmonica was great. Very exiting to see

QuoteJesse "For sure he wants to improvise, that's what he is about, but when he gets to it he is left wanting on what to play for much of the time so he resorts to some bluffing, that being non musical coasting. Generally speaking, this is taking up the majority of the time on his solos." ____________________________________________________________________ Yes! That's IT!

But watching the reports it is nice to notice that "Midnight Rambler" - that hardcore fan oddity which is never played in radio - seemed to be the best crowd pleaser (again).

Quotebaldboy sorry but I get sick and tired of people talking about Midnight Rambler as if it's Mick Taylor's song. I love Mick Taylor, an obviously fabulous period with him in the band, but who starts the song? whose riff? Keith. Who holds down the rhythm - a song is made up of melody, rhythm, solo. there's still a song someone is playing while someone else solos, folks. christ. p

He's joking with Ronnie and Keith, "Can you stop him?", Wood plays on and Keith just chuckles.... Interesting to note the intricate guitar part Ronnie plays here. He is filling in with some of Keith's usual riffs while Richards has simplified
