QuoteTravelinMan Quoteretired_dog Then again, much of what I said above about Gallagher could also be said about Mick Taylor when he was on his own. So I would not totally rule out that it could have worked with the Stones around. BS. Comparing Mick Taylor’s albums to his? Not even close. Taylor touches on way more styles and his first album is one of the best Stones solo efforts there is.

QuoteGazza Oh I've no doubt that he auditioned (or at least played with them in Rotterdam). I've just never read from any credible source that he was on the shortlist which seems to have been early on limited to three people - Wood, Perkins and Mandel.

QuoteGazza Quoteslane82 Mike Douglas asked Jimi Hendrix, "What's it like to be the best rock guitarist in the world?" and Jimi responded, "I don't know, you'll have to ask Rory Gallagher". Did he actually say this or is it (as I suspect) an urban legend? Considering that by the time Hendrix died, Rory was 22 and had a discography amounting to two studio al

QuoteMathijs I always found Rory Gallagher the least interesting of all players they auditioned. And I can't imagine they really considered him, being so far removed from Stones idiom. Just like Jeff Beck and Steve Marriott, I don't believe for a second they were ever considered. Mathijs Beck actually rehearsed with them. However, he was more interested in his instrumental jazz f

QuoteTravelinMan In the liner notes for Second Chapter or Ram Jam City, there is a story the Stones office called Danny Kirwan and left a message for him. So many stories, who knows?

QuotePalace Revolution 2000 QuoteTravelinMan I’m in the minority here, but I couldn’t see the album with a different opener. I love the song; it’s voodoo, grimy blues, rock, and Jamaican. very good point. This is true: there really isn't another cut from the GHS sessions that would work as opener. The thing about "Dancing w/ Mr D" is that it is one of those songs that is always

QuoteSomeGuy No Security is a rather good, but misunderstood live document. The album is about rare songs that were played on the BtoB tour, but it got the usual fan flak like: why don't we get a full show again?!? and that kind of drivel. I wish they would do this type of thing with the more recent tours, just release a cd of the song vote winners or rarely played songs from the tours.
