Quotecrawdaddy Thanks for posting. A really good read from Chuck Leavell who is a top man in my opinion. Only met him once while walking around Oslo city centre a couple of hours after final rehearsals at Telenor Arena back in May 2014. Chatting to him and his lovely wife Rose for about half an hour while walking, and both of them are genuinely nice people. Your perception of him is dead

QuoteMKjan Quotebv The Rolling Stones were a band of six - 6 - members including Ian Stewart. With Brian Jones out in 1969 they were down to four out of six. Then Bill left 1993, so then they are technically just 50% of the original lineup. They are not getting any younger year by year. Postponing another year would probably mean the shows in USA this year would have been lost. It isn't

Both Bluzdude and I were in the band, so nobody is co-opting anything. Even the Stones have had lineup changes. I guarantee Bard wouldn't mind.

Craig is a pathetic liar. He claims to have done the art, yet he never did anything else...he owned the studio where it was created, which is why The Stones themselves credit it to Braun/Cefalu. Ernie Cefalu drew it.

I went to London in 2018 for two shows, and the jam with the IORR band was the highlight of that trip, I got to sit in for "Let It Rock". I managed to get an in-person interview with Darryl on that trip, and the IORR gig was still the highlight of that trip. Meeting all the IORR people, playing live music, jamming with my friend Bluzdude, it just doesn't get better than that.

Quote24FPS Good jazz selections. Just seeing Stanley Clarke as a choice reminds me that Darryl is not a rock and roll bassist. He's a noodler. A 70s jazz noodler that doesn't know how to hold the bottom down. Doesn't know? Yes, that's why he's held the job for 25 years. I'll be sure to forward your comments so they can get rid of him!

QuoteHairball Interesting there's no Rock and Roll albums on his list. Once we got the ten, he named a few rock albums, but he is naming primarily early influences. My list would be very similar to his, except with a Beatles record thrown in. Darryl is really more of a jazz/funk/blues guy. He just happens to play in The Stones.
