Quoteyorkey To all you guitarists, has anything like this happened to you? I came up with this glorious riff while just playing around on guitar. I felt all original and clever. I was really pumped about it, got lyrics to it and everything. Then last night I play Tattoo You for the first time in months, and would ye believe it Keith's playing my riff. I'm thinking of suing. all

QuoteRobberBride QuoteMathijs Rip This Joint features a totally useless guitar by Taylor, largely edited out of the final version. Listening to RTJ one can understand why Richards would state that Taylor 'was not a great rhythm player' or 'great live but not in the studio'. The real king of RTJ is Hopkins, Jagger and Keys. Fantastic new hook on Exile in my opinion. Mathi

Quotebillwebster The Eagles also have had a lot of lead vocalists over the years, but they usually sang lead on individual songs Glenn Frey, Don Henley, Timothy B. Schmit, Joe Walsh, Randy Meisner, Bernie Leadon. Of their members, only Don Felder seems to have stayed with singing background. Little Village (Ry Cooder, John Hiatt and Nick Lowe) have all 3 on "She Runs Hot". don

QuoteSwedgen72 QuoteMCDDTLC Let me weigh in a little bit here. Taylor said one of the reasons he quit was he didn't think Keith could last much longer with his drug intake back in 1974. And Taylor didn't like the idea of the Stones without Keith, so I don't think there was hard feelings between them, they hung out together in the 80's Keith played with Taylor at one of his

On the Far East Man DVD (and thus London gigs) Slash studied all I've Got My Own Album To Do guitar parts. At the gigs he played all Taylor's part note-for-note, same sound, same feeling, including the phase and chorus Taylor used in the day.

Over the years I have come full circle on that recording and I am not at all sure that my original impression
