My alltime favorite Keith shirt is the one that looks like Warhol did it, four times his face in different colours on an white shirt. From the Steel Wheels Tour, I guess. Anybody got one left? XL? I want one, desperately... cheers, fillmore

I also got these recordings from the Mule-homepage. They include other songs as well, not only Stones covers. Gimme Shelter is there. I also find the whole stuff pretty un-stonesy (...). Not bad, very different, more "beer and hard booze" than "Mary Jane", so to speak. Though I really like most GM music, I wouldn´t necessarily recommend those Stones sessions. Ok, Halloween mea

There is a german guitar builder who offers Micawber-copies. Strangely enough, they don´t have the "original" Keith-style bridge. I had my guitar "upgraded" with a brass bridge that has artificially been made look older (no, I am not a native speaker :-)) . I had to call / mail to him, he is friendly and deliveres at decent speed. The bridge plays and sounds nice, just a bit c

Quotedcba They were OK but basically they recycled the 70's rock/boogie formula and sold it to people who weren't there in the 70's. Theyreally worked hard at achieieving that retro sound. I remember them saying in 92 "yeah we recorded with an old board and old mikes. even the tape was old". Recyclers? Yes. Innovators? No. Therefore I doubt they were that important.

I would like to apologize for getting the quoting wrong (a bit like my English, ), I´m sorry! It was of course DandelionPowderman who brought "Kravitz" in.

I don´t think any tattoo can solve your midlife crisis, it only shows you might have one. What would change? You were OOC for an hour?

QuoteSpud I have a suspicion that Keith likes the response of an electric guitar to "feel" more like an acoustic. That goes in the same direction as the interview I once read, where he said that at home he doesn´t play electric at all. Only "western" or "spanish"-style guitars. Must have been in Guitar Player or Guitar World a couple of years ago. Also Malcolm

Four shows for me, PinkPop - Berlin - Vienna - Werchter. All of ´em amazing, PinkPop - a festival in the sun (in the Netherlands!!!), surrounded by cool friendly people, protected from the cozy warm sound of John Mayer, finally the Hammer of the Gods strikes - JJF. A gig to die for. Berlin - the greatest venue I have ever seen, FOS, warm, weird audience-mix, highlight: Waiting On A Friend.

Quotegwen Apparently this one -pickup model was a custom order only owned by Keith, Ronnie & Pete Townsend. Can't remember where I read that, however. Not sure it's even true! Which makes this guitar about as mystic as the "Gibson Moderne" from 1958 . Imagine: Ronnie moving out of The Wick, Pete just moving in - they meet in the doorway, both carrying their Custom L5s.

Are you sure it´s a reissue he´s playing live, and not an old one? The Sunburst Les Paul I saw first in London on 25/11/12 (he played 2/3 of the show with this guitar) is one of the few we don´t get info in the new "Stones Gear Book" about.
