Forum: Tell Me

Lem motlow: The Rolling Stones owe Mick Taylor big time. There are no laws forbidding musicians to leave a band and Taylor is not the only person in history that did so. However, there are legal rules and regulations pertaining to the rights an official bandmember has to be paid royalties over the records he helped to create. Whether someone leaves or not has no bearing on this entitlement.

hot stuff: I would not say that all of the Rolling Stones are in excellent or even good health. The last US tour they did comprised 18 dates. And by any standard, that's not a very long tour. The only reason it took 2 months to complete is that there were 2 - 4 days of rest and relaxation between all gigs. Taylor used to do 30 shows in 5 weeks time. It's possible that his tours hav

Seasoned musicians usually claim that it doesn't matter much whether you play in front of 200 or 20.000 people. The thing is, you can't put on 'half a show' just because the audience is smaller. So apart from the fact that a bigger production means there is more staff and overhead involved, what you do as a guitarplayer (for instance) is basically the same: play to the best
