I had a cousin. He was born in 1956 and died in 1985. Huge Stones fan. So much so, in fact, that I'm convinced he became a junkie as a way of paying homage to his hero, Keith Richards. He literally lived and died for the Rolling Stones. He was, of course, a @#$%& moron to have chosen Keith as a role model, or even to have chosen ANY role model at all. I wonder if any of you knew anyone who w

I seem to recall that there was once a Sopranos episode that had a Keef song playing over the closing credits. I think it might have been "Demon". They usually choose a closing credits song that relates to something that happens in the episode. Anyone remember anything about what happens in that episode they used the Keef song for? Something about Chris's drug use perhaps?

They will not stop until every note they have ever played is officially released. 41 YEARS OF MAXIMUM R&B!!! No, make that 14 years of maximum R&B; 27 years of maximum R&R (Rest and Relaxation).

Thanks for the link, with sssoul. Looks like Main Offender sold about as well as a Bill Wyman album! No wonder Keith hasn't bothered to do another one! If you've never heard it, by all means, get it. I was in Best Buy yesterday and was pleased to see that they had all three Keith solo albums in stock .... $11.99 each.
Forum: Tell Me

Anyone have this information at their fingertips? I read somewhere that Main Offender peaked at #99 on the Billboard Chart. That would seem to suggest sales of just a few thousand copies, a real shame. I bet a lot of YOU have never even heard it!

The very first album, from 1971, is great. Have only seen her live at a No Nukes show in '79 and at a John Lee Hooker tribute in '90.

All official release live albums have overdubs. All of them.
Forum: Tell Me

The question is: Did Mick record vocal overdubs on the missing tracks in 1970? If he did, then they're in the can and can be released. If not, they'd have to release his original vocals on the missing tracks alongside the re-recorded vocals on the previously released tracks. That would sound strange. Unless, of course, he wants to record new vocals for the missing tracks TODAY, singing

Just out this week. Three CDs spanning their entire career. Tracks presented in REVERSE chronological order with all the Peter Gabriel stuff relegated to the third CD. What would you say to a reunion tour with all five original members? Maybe start the show with all the Phil Collins stuff and just bring Pete out for the final hour.

Gimmie Some Neck, mainly because it's such a great souvenir of the New Barbarians tour. I think they played just about the entire album (saw them at MSG 5/7/79). Also, I'm not sure what it was called (Troublemaker?), but Ian McLagan released a solo album at around the same time, and actually, it's HIS album that better captures the way the Barbarians actually SOUNDED onstage.

Okay, I know everyone thinks the new version of 19th Nervous Breakdown SUCKS (ANY version without Bill's dive-bombing bass runs sucks), but, calling all trainspotters: When was the last time (before last night, that is) that they played PIB and Breakdown in the same set? '66? '67?

Rain Fall Down will almost certainly be the next single. It SHOULD have been the FIRST single off the album. It has the best chance of getting played on the radio of any of the tracks on the album and, like Miss You, lends itself well to the eight or nine minute dance mix format that will get it played in the clubs. Plus, there's a great story behind it, which I have already explained, that

It doesn't surprise me that they would go on without him. What surprises me is that in the Rolling Stone interview he gives them his blessing to do just that. The scary thing is, I think Mick would try to go on without Keith, too, and still try to call it the Rolling Stones, or even Mick Jagger and the Rolling Stones!

He tends to lay low when the Stones are on tour. When they sleep, he comes out to play. It's better for him when he is "the only game in town".

I still go to see Macca, but I think the last new release I bought was Tug Of War. Wingspan brings me up to date thru 1984. If he released a 1985-2005 "best of", I'd be willing to take a chance on it.
