Quoteds1984 Some big regrets to the few I missed, on the top on my list being Mitch Ryder and the late Tom Petty. I saw the Detroit Wheels in October, 1966. In a small place that was basically a union hall. My mom took tickets. I got to sit on the stage. I thought they were going to blow the roof off.

The footage looks great. It's a little jarring to have Scarlet Johansson do voice over as Anita. An actress with a slight German accent would have kept the illusion up better.

Lucky we are, if you still like to go see old rock stars. As a kid I saw Duke Ellington in Atlantic City at the Steel Pier, 1966. He would have been 67 at the time. He was considered ancient, and his band, what was left of it, would play his greatest hits. (Sound familiar?) By that point Duke had performed more one night stands than anyone ever will. Duke died at age 75. Here we are, paying an ar

Bill Wyman: Brian stubbed a cigarette out on his hand Bill Wyman has recalled how his former Rolling Stones bandmate Brian Jones stubbed out a cigarette on his hand. The 86-year-old bassist quit the Stones in 1993 after more than 30 years with the group, and said its founder Brian – who drowned aged 27 on 3 July 1969 after years battling drink and drugs problems – lashed out as he had a “ba

I got the new remix on SHM CD. It totally changed my mind about the album. Now it sounds like a soul album to me. It has its own character, and not just a followup to Exile.

I don't care how old they are. They're still artists. And they do come up with the nice single from time to time. That thing Mick did with Dave Grohl proves Mick can still rock. I'm actually looking forward to whatever they come up with.

Great interview, but I disagree about Ronnie having a distinctive style. If you put on a song I've never heard and Ronnie was on guitar I couldn't pick him out. I think he's more of a chameleon, doing whatever's necessary. Mick Taylor seemed effortless and soared on slide. Brian was the most emotive player ever. And Ronnie just seems to do whatever the song needs. It's no

Like Brian, her aura, her whatever, permeates the foundation of the Stones. Her influence on their look, their attitude, and her darkness, is all part of it. An underappreciated contributor.

The TV listing referred to Brian as the lead guitarist of the Rolling Stones. Other than his rare slide forays, I can't think of him playing one solo. There was the riff to The Last Time, but other than I can't think where he came up with a riff that was essential to a song.

Bass on ER 4 out of 10 songs are played by Ronnie, 1 song by Keith, so Bill only plays bass on 5 songs. And ER not what you would consider an A

All they'd have to do is go to the states and Canada and pick out places they hav

Much as I'll probably watch it, I would be surprised to find anything new that would be worthwhile. I read a number of books about his growing up. The terrible things he did in Cheltehham, the illegitimate children. His cold parents. Then the Stones and the slide, and multi-instrumental talents. Bill's already on record stating how Brian started the band, etc. I'll still watch

This is the letter from Brian's father, reprinted from Rolling Stones Data Group. It was in the possession of Linda Lawrence. It's not known whether Brian ever saw it, or responded to it. “My dear Brian, we have had unhappy times and I have been a very poor and intolerant father in so many ways. You grew up in such a different way than I expected you to. I was quite out of my depth…
