Quotemr_dja I sent the link to my dad... His question: "What kind of needle did they use?" Note: I do not expect an answer and I don't think he does either. I don't know enough about LP/"record" technology to know if certain materials would cause the needle to wear out faster than others. Part of my mind thinks that, if the grooves on the "record" all p

QuoteDancelittleSister Did the MKII wide combo with a 15" speaker have 7 or 8 knobs (standard) on the front panel, or was this optional? There's a picture from the Rolling Stones 1981 (Kansas) and we are trying to figure out what kind of amp it is. This is the link to the picture: Being that is the 1981 Tour you’re likely looking at a Mark IIB Combo. Those were popular with

I have been hearing rumors that the Stones are indeed planning some more shows in North America after they finish with South America. Some have even confirmed that their sources are solid about this and it will happen. Anybody else hearing whispers of this? I'm not sure how this fits in with the possible new record but I assume if they were indeed able to complete it this summer, touring aga

Quotecrholmstrom Mick seems to be on to the commercial stuff (dance, etc.). 1 example I can think of off top of my head about Charlie is he was the one that picked up on White Stripes early on. There have been others over the years. + with the jazz leanings of "Blackstar", I think Charlie would be interested. I hadn't heard of Charlie picking up on the White stripes, I imagine Mi

Kind of a weird mix of funk and rock and roll that actually worked out pretty good. I'm certainly not as enamored as some of you seem to be with this tune, I prefer my Stones with more of an organic sound. I suppose it was partly the times it was recorded and the fact that the Stones hadn't really done anything that stood out so boldly in quite a while. That live version seems to hav

Quoteroller99 I'm kind of in your camp Naturalust. I was a Weather Report fan, but not really aware of the names, or at least don't remember them. That's why films like this are so great, they do inform and entertain. I became more aware of Jaco years after his death, through the work of Tony Franklin. He's the closest adherent to Jaco that exists. Closer than Tal Wilkenf

The Rolling Stones will die for me when I take my last breath, not a second before. After that I'm pretty sure I won't care how long the legacy lasts.
