I have a hunch it wouldn't work out. What Taylor and Keith had 35+ years ago was very special. They were really attuned to each other. They complemented one another perfectly. Many years have passed and I don't think they could recover that. Lightening doesn't strike twice in the same place.

It's great to see so many Stones fans wishing Willy DeVille well. After the Stones, Willy is my all-time favorite rocker. He's like the Stones in that you can listen to the albums over and over again and get something new from them each time. And also like the Stones, he has always worked with superb musicians and collaborators (Doc Pomus, Jack Nietschze, Eddie Hidalgo, Mark Knofler,

Is she singing in Swedish or something? I couldn't understand a word. I always thought it was funny that Faithful claimed Jagger was "middle class" as if it was an insult. And here she is living off his reputation 40 years after she was his boyfriend. A musical leach, in other words.

Waylon Jennings' song about Bob Wills and his Texas Playboys. Includes the lines: "If you ain't been there, I guess you ain't been told/You just can't come from Texas unless you got a lot of soul" Blatant pandering to the Dallas audience!

I just went on LimeWire to look for some Stones songs. The service used to be a good one, but now the search mechanism brings up all kinds of junk. What's the best file sharing service? Do you know one better than LimeWire?

I love Mink Deville and Willy's solo work after he left that band. He had a drug problem for about two decades, which soured his music career, but he was extremely talented. A lot of people don't know that he got his start at CBGBs, were the Ramones played. He was sort of a man out of his time. His musical vocabulary extends to blues, Latin soul, and country. He's very much a

YouTube has a bunch of great Stones material circa 1972 from "Beat Club," a German TV show. These videos were made on May 18, 1972 at the Rialto Theater in Montreaux, Switzerland, when the Stones were rehearasing for their 1973 tour.

I find it kind of strange that so many comments about Taylor on this thread have to do with his weight. Is looking sleek and svelte what makes for a good Rolling STones guitarist? Appaarantly it is, because Woods looks good but can't play worth shit. Everybody knows that Woods can't play "Love in Vain" or "All Down the Line" or many of the other solos Taylor cr

Agree completely. The Rolling Stones have never come near their work in the 1968 - 1973 period. It's not just the loss of Mick Taylor, either. They became soft and flabby. They've been resting on their laurels so long it's not funny anymore...

In the USA, soccer is a sport played mostly by upper middle class girls and immigrants from Mexico. It isn't popular for several reasons, one being that it doesn't fit into the American TV format. They're aren't enough time outs or game breaks for showing beer commercials. The sport is thought to be boring. Americans just don't get excited by clumps of people kickin

"Chuck is much more rounded as a keyboard player." Huh? Chuck is a keyboard tickler, not a keyboard player. He couldn't play gospel if God sat next to him on the piano bench.

The Stones were lucky to have Billy Preston, who brought a gospel and blues dimension to many a Stones song. He was also a great contributor to their 1973, 1975, and 1977 tours. He probably had a hand in writing "Melody" and "Miss You" (this song was written by Jagger while jamming with Preston during rehearsals for the March 1977 El Mocambo club gigs). Here is a list of St
