published Nov 18, 2016 by Andy Babiuk Gear History Most bands traditionally play to a drummer, but The Rolling Stones have always been different. Instead, the band follows Keith Richards, their human riff machine. Charlie Watts, drummer for the Stones, has said on numerous occasions that he and the band take all of their cues from Keith who commands the stage with his rhythm and riffs

Quotewonderboy It used to be when the 'hit the wall' they would keep playing, try the song a different way, go to a different song. We've all heard the story of Keith playing the Tumbling Dice chord for 12 straight hours. I think Don is hinting that it might be over for new music. Don also said "Both Keith and Mick have some great new songs," perhaps not enough, what do

No one asked, but since the microphone in the large, first pic sticks out so prominent, perhaps you'd like to know what you're looking at. It's a Sennheiser MD 409 U3. a very nice dynamic mic also often used infront of guitar amps. since the XLR connector and capsule are angled at 90° it can dangle in front of a cab without a micstand just by the cable. sorry if this i

Quotemarianna Why was the general population even allowed to vote on this issue? There's a reason there is representational government. I say that as a lifelong resident of California, where we have ballot propositions that can bypass or override the legistature.
