I can see a guest spot for Paul at a Stones show. Or Mick does one at one of Paul's. Mick could sing I Wanna Be Your Man. Paul could play bass on the new Stones track he's on. Most realistic scenario I can imagine.

Not one mention of Bill's playing, which was essential to the golden age of the group. The fact that he is not on one cut of Hackney Diamonds says it all. His playing is not essential to the group sound in the least. Never has been, especially like Bill's was. I'm assuming he was a good jazz player. There are a few great quotes by Keith showing that he knew exactly how talented Bil

I love when people try to pigeonhole the Stones into being just a rock and roll band. That was only an era. They involved from a blues/r&b cover band into pop artists of the highest caliber. Time and time again they plugged into the current zeitgeist and came out with incredible songs. Elizabethan, Psychedelic, reggae, disco, and all without losing that indefinable Stoneness.

Now this will taint his legacy. Rolling Stone was a wonderful magazine for a long, long time. Sure, it faded, but so did all the stars it glorified. The magazine now is geared towards youth, which is what it did in the beginning, you know, us. We WERE the youth. But this is just idiotic. How out of touch do you have to be to not know you were going to get serious blowback? Jann was privileged

Only watched the video so far. Was shocked to see Bill represented several times. They must be on better terms professionally. Don't remember seeing Mick T, but then again I've only watched it once.

Quotedmay If true, the best line in the story is that Keith Moon frequently babysat for Ringo. One can only imagine considering Moon's reputation and joie de vivre. You mean 'Uncle Ernie?'

Hello, no Wyman, no groove. Maybe Billy came up with a version of the bass line, but nobody PLAYS it like Wyman. You would think the great Miles Davis bass player would get it right. He never does. They pretend he does, but it's lame. It's true that Miss You didn't last very long as a good stage number for them. They turned it into a rock song when it's not. Probably for th

I finally read where some journalist gets it. Bill Janovitz' Leon Russell biography is really good. He said Wyman played in front of the beat, Charlie behind it. Exactly. That's the wobble encasing Keith. The whole Stones sound.

I loved Hot Rocks more than Hot Rocks. (Although I guess Hot Rocks was a good primer if you were still a bit of a novice.) But More Hot Rocks really got deep into things. And there were a few cuts like Poison Ivy, Money, Fortune Teller, What to Do. (At least I don't they were). It would interest me if I had to replace what I have, but that's the 2002 ABKCO SACDs and they're fan

I listened to the bonus CD on GHS in ATMOS. It certainly made it a much better experience than the original album and mix.

I recently had that boxset from my library. There were a few gems in there, The Charlatans, a Moby Grape cut, and some others. Most of it was kind of silly. There are also the well known tracks mixed in by Jefferson Airplane, Santana. I found the names hilarious, The Chocolate Watchband. You can hear a lot of competition to the be the grooviest, the most psychedelic.

More power to her. A few years back we thought maybe some Stones records would be broken by U2. At least U2 was in the running. But Swift came out of left field. Every generation should have its pop stars. We were lucky to have so many. We had no idea how rich we were at the time.
