Same UPC number regardless of censored version or not. The Jimmy Page line isn't on GOATS HEAD SOUP. It was added to live versions in the mid-seventies out of sensitivity to John Wayne who was dying of cancer. The original line on the studio recording is "I'll make bets that you're going to get John Wayne before he dies." It was replaced with the bitchy "Jimmy Pa

Exactly it's not like EXILE came out with alternate takes, official release of long-bootlegged unreleased songs, and newly-completed outtakes that couned as a handful of new tracks from 2010. There is no reason to expect them to do anything ever again.

Let's forget the nonsense. When it comes to living it up while unemployment soars, you'd have the same result with either party in the White House. Obama and Bush both handled situations badly. Who cares which is the worse president? The most ridiculous comment of all was telling the conservatives here that they're supporting the wrong band. That's like telling someone who do

Ronnie hasn't played outside the UK since the early nineties. When he did, he played to more than 300 people.

I want new material or newly released material. "Scarlet" would be nice to finally have if plundering the vaults continues. I don't imagine Polydor or Interscope would ship platinum the way Virgin was willing to even as late as 2005. That's probably a consideration for any actual new album.

Ronnie's tours in 1992-1993 and 2001 weren't in front of 24 people. Same with his solo show in 2005. He can pull a theater audience.

Keith has spoken to Andrew and been photographed with him since they parted ways. Mick is the one who shuns him. Oldham refers to Mick as his first wife and notes neither can stand to be in the same room with the other. Unsurprisingly, Oldham will say nice things about Keith but paints Jagger badly.

January 2010 isn't recent. The album is out in September and there's no word of a tour being confirmed. I think that's where everyone's coming from.

Ronnie toured behind his last two albums. It would hardly be surprising if he threw a few shows together quickly. Thing is the album is out in a couple weeks and there's been nothing about shows mentioned recently. The Faces are set to go out again in January allegedly. One wonders what Ronnie will be doing in the interim if he doesn't play live.

Whether we like their presence or not, Addicted is correct in saying they are friends with the Stones, not just hired hands. I wish Mac was still on keyboards, too but even if he were they wouldn't be the Stones in 1981 or 1978 again. They're older and approach arrangements and performances very differently.

There are uncensored versions out there, but it appears to be impossible to know without buying. The UME download version is uncensored, but that may not be an acceptable substitute for you.

And by the way, Muddy Waters wasn't painting the ceiling when the Stones first arrived at 2120 S. Michigan Avenue, he was painting the goddamn ceiling. There is a difference.

I'm lost. What does Sam Cutler have to do with this? Because he was on FOX? So was Bill Wyman. He gave an interview. Lose the politics unless it's related to the music. Let's not lose a thread that had some validity at the start.

"Dear Dad" is a gem, he had quite a few great songs in the first half of the sixties. The trouble is many people upon hearing them would think they were older. The same thing happened with "Don't Stop" among more than a few casual Stones fans. Chuck's output from 1955 through 1965 was stellar. Once he went to Mercury and did inferior remakes of his Chess catalog, my

I would suspect that he now finds it difficult to play and sing at the same time. Dave Davies has had the same problem since his stroke.

Thanks for the info, erikjjf. I tend to agree with lem and the individual who posted a couple days ago that we can't have it both ways where Keith's limitations are concerned. Interesting stuff, nonetheless.

Agreed that it reads like a transcript. I'm not surprised. Keith has spent a lot of time crafting his public persona. To not have the book read like his genuine voice would be foolish. And to WeLoveYou, both of Ronnie's books used co-authors or ghost writers. Bill German did the honors on the first one.

I've always liked the song a lot. One of my favorites on the album. Mick rushes through the lyric for some reason. Much of the album feels speeded up and it is the first appearance of the dreaded click track.

While possible I also heard rumors in the seventies about the band having to use roadies to play guitar because Keith and Ronnie were so out of it. It's up there with Mick is bald. I'd believe it if so many mid-seventies shows didn't offer proof of them being wasted and playing. Sort of how I feel about Blondie. Third guitar I can accept. If he's playing Keith's role, why

Agreed on Blondie's talent as a guitarist. I was impressed with his playing first on Taylor's STRANGER IN THIS TOWN CD, before that I just knew "Sail On, Sailor" and quite honestly thought he was just a Carl Wilson soundalike and didn't pay him any mind. My biggest thought about Flame was Ricky Fataar being one of The Rutles. That has changed and I now appreciate his tale

I thought Mick said he was against it, but the rest of the band wanted the money. That's my recollection. I can't recall a specific source, but I think it was a TV interview.

StonesTod, do you really think Blondie played on 11 songs each night - and played that much of a role? I'm not arguing with you. I'm just looking for honest answers from those who would know for sure. Come On, sorry if I sounded rude. I thought you might have been making a joke about the band Blondie. Blondie Chaplin is the South African gentleman with dreadlocks who resembles Keith.

In the event you're not putting me on, I mean Blondie Chaplin, ex-Flame, ex-Beach Boy, and Stones sideman since 1997.

I know Blondie plays acoustic and more recently electric guitar onstage with the Stones and is kept in the background, but certainly not hidden even in professionally edited concert films. How much guitar does he actually play onstage? Reading some posts critical of Keith on here, you'd swear Blondie is playing guitar on every track and mainly electric.

While Mick may have been aiming more for Don Covay or Marvin Gaye, he sounded a lot like Barry Gibb on Side Two of TATTOO YOU.

The sound is more important, but a good line or two always helps. Simple rhymes (sad-bad-glad) irritate me.
