Could you expound please by what yoyu mean by flat frets? Did you mean wide? The frets have to match the radius of the neck and Fenders from the '50s especially have a pronounced curve of the fret board. I suspect that Keith's Teles have been refretted more than once ove the years and probably with wide fret wire.

As for me, I never have really liked the song but it is clear that many do. Perhaps I should give it another listen. It has been some years after all.

Damn Mr. Douglas, perhaps you should follow your advice and relax. It seems this topic has generated some heat. Some are having a bad day it seems.

Quotethewatchman Paul is absolutely amazing. Still has that youthful Beatle look. Just needs to dump his drummer and two guitar players and replace them with his son, Sean, Julian, and Dhani. Ringo and Zak can share the drum duties. Also, needs to put The Beatles: Act II on the bass drum. Why should he do that? The band he has know is a crackin' good one. The Beatles were of their time and P

Quotethewatchman Like most of what you have said here, however, would love to see the sons revive Beatlemania. Beatle-mania was of it's time and I think it very unlikely we'll see anything like it again. If you want to think the Stones are the greatest rock and roll band of time, a subjective phrase at best, then go ahead. There is absolutely no reason to 'revive Beatle-mania'

QuoteWeLoveToPlayTheBlues Did the Exile reissue sell "great" or "good"? Or did it sell "poor" or "poorly"? What defines any of those? Billboard charts? Is Billboard relevant anymore? Well, since you ask it depends on how you phrase it. 'Exile' either sold well or poorly or sales of 'Exile' were good or poor. in the first case well and po

I have to say the new material was performed very well on 'Some Girls' but then so was the new stuff from 'Brussels'. So which do I like better? Ask the same question on a different day and and I would probably give a different answer. Today it's 'Brussels'...

Forum: Tell Me

Keith's vocal performances over the last few years are more schooled than they were in the past. It sounds like he is singing more from the diaphragm and it may have vocal lessons. By contrast his vocals from the 70s sound a bit more rough and from the throat which suited the songs he sang then. As to 'You Got the Silver' this was first full on lead vocal on a Stones song and I ver
