QuoteHis Majesty Quote24FPS They could have replaced him a couple years earlier and we really would have only missed No Expectations, Brian's swan song. Silly. Really?

Reading all these posts I don't think the Stones can win. First off they're always up against their own legend, which began a downhill slide about 30 years ago. Nothing they've recorded since then really stands up to those earlier efforts. There's a handful of songs that could be album cuts for the earlier Stones. If they go experimental, people would shake their heads. If

Playing pool in Buckhead (a district in Atlanta), 1971, in a small place. Somebody played Brown Sugar on the jukebox. The bass reverberated against the wall behind it.

Mick and Keith will not probably ever admit directly, but I am pretty sure that Brian blew their minds off, and gave them a sort of model what true musicianship is all about. - Doxa Yes, in the beginning. Then they surpassed him. Keith even took up some slide. It must have been very frustrating to know what Brian was capable of, and then not doing it. He betrayed Keith and Brian's earl

Sort of. Brian was doomed to be a sideman, if you can call being a sideman in such a popular group doomed. I don't think the general public, at the time, thought of Brian as just a sideman, probably because of his striking looks. And he did contribute a lot more in the early days on stage, harmonica, leads on slide guitar, singing and dancing about. (Although I think some of that singing and

QuotePs37 Quote24FPS But there was a difference between Brian and George. Harrison worked his ass off, getting better and better on guitar. At the end of the Beatles he'd developed as a fantastic slide player on Something. And George kept chipping away at songwriting until he was up there with Lennon/McCartney.

Let it Bleed was my first Stones album. It was a lot darker (Midnight Rambler still is) than what I listened to up to that point. I was a big Beatles fan. I think Ya Yas is the first album where things really clicked, and I was hooked. Then a girl lent me all her early Stones albums. I only knew Brian Jones from photos and hearing he died.

Bit misleading, but hey, it reminds you that they were friendly towards each other. I don't think Bill ever took any crap from Mick, just like Charlie.

Such a waste of talent. He peaked early. I was listening to I'm Movin' On, and Little Red Rooster live. His slide was incredible. Then, instead of getting better on the instrument, he laid down his guitar and never got better on it.

The Jimi Hendrix Experience at the Los Angeles Forum, April 1969. Damn, I love Jimi but his solos are too damn long on this one. A three minute hit would end, and then he'd jam on kind of pointlessly for another seven minutes.

The Stones, and McCartney are masters at press manipulation. It smells like the album is getting closer, actually closer, or else it would have been a waste to release that information. And the press put Ringo's name into the mix, for free, since he's been confirmed in some reports as not being on the album. Maybe he will now!

It's a way to promote the back catalogue to a new audience. I had to stop and watch it all the way through. Wonderful song. I always think of autumn at night, like when I first heard it fifty years ago. Brilliant counterpoint to the raucous Exile on Main Street. The acoustic guitars, Nicky and Bill, Mick's singing. Marvelous.

So the Beatles and Stones could actually merge on a cut or two? That's exciting. They haven't had a Stones level bass player in 30 years, and Ringo is the other part of the Fab Four rhythm section. It's probably too good to be true, but eh, it's a nice little fantasy.

Steely Dan went 20 years 1980-2000 without a new album. They were always the outlier. They didn't tour that much the first time around, and then almost relentlessly after 2000. I wouldn't say the Rolling Stones album hiatus is comparable because they have released 'new' material in the form of refurbished cuts like Plundered My Soul and actual new songs like Doom and Gloom

I think Keith is more guarded than realized. He's dealt with the press for sixty years. He used to be pretty surly in interviews. I think at some point he put on a more agreeable persona that he protects himself with. I mean that, "Glad to be here, glad to be anywhere" line is delivered ad nauseum with a wheezy laugh and delivered like he just thought of it. That's show busine

Isn't this ridiculous? A new album, if it ever comes, just can't live up to the expectations. My god Ronnie was talking about it in 2016 during a Blue and Lonesome interview. An optimist probably thinks they're coming up with a masterpiece on par with Exile. My guess is that there'll be a good cut or two, worth listening to the whole thing once or twice, and then never listen
