At first I was disappointed in Keith's outright dismissal of the unstoppable development of popular music. There was a time when Keith himslef was at the forefront and fought against close mindedness. "Your petty morals don't apply to us". But then I saw that he is speaking from a position of at least some knowledge. He just does not dig this particular breed of violent overt

Yes, I always noticed that. Lou Reed IMO was aware of that and did it tongue in cheek. Kind of as a nod to an inspiration. Lou reed is a connoisseur of oldtime R&B, soul, doo wop.

Fleetwood might have gotten the MOR connotation from the mega sales of "Rumors" and maybe the ladies don't fit someone's hard rocking rock image. But Lindsey Buckingham is way up there. I have all four of his solo albums, and his stuff with Mac is brilliant.

In some rare cases a very good Boxed Set can supersede an artist's regular output. The Faces with "Five guys walk into a Bar" and James Brown with "Star Time" come pretty close IMO. Mac put the Faces set together and included great outtakes. James Brown has released so much subpar crap in between the brilliance. I got the Apollo and Paris Live albums, plus "Black Cae

I would call the opening to CYHMK most definetly a riff. Maybe even one of the archetype of a "riff" LOL. A 'hook' can be literally anything. It is just that: it hooks the listener in. It hooks itself into the memory. So it could be a musical phrase,very often a vocal phrase - maybe the title or the chorus - is often repeated. But it could even be a weird sound that sticks o

Forum: Tell Me

What guitar do you think Keith used for "Dancing with Mr D" in the 73 Euro shows? The reason I ask is because this is actually a very unique style for Keith to play live. On an uptempo number. It is not his 2-string riffing, it is not the Berry stuff, and it's not staright chords or freestyle lines. It's a totally fixed riff he is doing on the low strings; basically doing a

The meaning of riff has changed. Because jazzmusicians used ti use this word a lot in the past. It can mean many things; has to do with the context. A hornplayer could have come up with a wonderful riff. Which would maybe be a musical phrase. A phrase that will be the center of the 'head', the melody. Or the hornplayer was 'riffing' over the chnages. He was soloing in a cool,

The studio itself is allright. IMO some of the tunes just have an unfinished feel to them. Side 1 and Fingerprint File are up there, but those others could have made the difference between a great album and a time-keeping album. I lso LOVE the outro of IORR song. Keith traCKED two eletric guitars that play practically the same thing. But they are ever so slightly on a different timing pattern.

I considered that too Tumblin; and that makes me wonder about him saying that he joined in on the last 8 dtaes on trumpet. That is a lot to play with the Stones!?! Somewhere else I read that it was not trumpet but tambourine that he played. This I find easier to see.

Recent threads touch on this album. So I played it. The sound is so compressed. I noticed that in photos from the Munich sessions they are alwasy dressed for cold weather.

The Stones have several habits or quirks when sequencing an album.
