One that the IORR crowd would like: “Rock Against Yeast Infections,” from 1979, with the Candy Slice group performing “Gimme Mick.” Backstage at the benefit concert, Rick Nelson plays himself. Bob Marley is there along with the young (Dan Acklroyd) and old (John Belushi) Elvis, Dolly Parton, and Olivia Newton John. The best is “Candy Slice,” a thinly disguised Patti Smith played by Gilda Radne

From the well-known Rolling Stones song on Let It Bleed: I can see that you're fifteen years old No I don't want your I.D.

I'm not an Elton John fan, but I couldn't help but notice how his music dominated the radio when I was in high school in the years 1972-1976. He was everywhere. An Elton John fan -- again, not me -- could argue that Elton John's five albums in the years 1972-1975 rivaled any run by any other group. These five albums appearing one after the other were all #1 in the U.S.: Honky Ch

I have a whole bunch of great mix-tapes that people made for me over the years -- and no machine to play them. Somebody could start a service digitizing people's mix-tapes and make some money. I'd love to hear some of those tapes. A few of them were made at friends' houses while drinking beer and engaging in illegal substances. Fun times!

Actually, the only reason Fresno is derided is it is in California and therefore compared to way greater areas. If we are talking the entire USA, then they played a lot of way lesser venues back then, especially in the midwest and northern parts.

The album is called "Bobby Keys." It came out in 1972. Some of the songs call to mind the horn arrangements on "Bitch." Others are jazzier. This lukewarm review from AllMusic says "...recording began after Keys, Price, and Nicky Hopkins wrapped up the Exile on Main St. tour." Besides Keys, these musicians played on the album: Jim Price (trumpet); John Uribe, Lesli

Love it! IMHO the song is superior to "Brown Sugar," the big hit from "Sticky Fingers." And that MT guy could play rhythm guitar. He should've played it more often and let the other guy take the lead.

Mink DeVille, and after he started working under his own name, Willy DeVille. All his albums have something interesting on them, but his first ("Cabretta") and his third ("Le Chat Bleu") are masterpieces on par with any Stones album.

In California in the early 1970s, you used to be able to buy bootlegs in record stores. They were sold in the racks right along with the bona fide records. My first Stones bootleg purchase was "Bright Lights, Big City," some Jimmy Reed and other blues covers. My best purchase was "Bedspring Symphony," which I believe is now called "Brussels Affair."

I sometimes amuse myself on this board by going way back and reading topics from years ago (this board is now 16 years old!). On a recent tour of the past I got to thinking about Stones songs I liked 16 years ago but don't like now, and Stones songs I disliked 16 years ago but like now. Tastes change, the popular taste and individuals' taste. What's changed for you? Used to d

QuoteHairball It's an embarrassing song to the Stones legacy. I love the guitars though, and the groove by Charlie and Bill really gets going strong midway. But it's Micks vocals that ruin it for me . They are silly and contrived, wanting to sound like the singer from KC and the Sunshine band. KC and the Sunshine Band?

In his autobiography "Hell's Angel: The Life and Times of Sonny Barger and the Hell's Angels Motorcycle Club," Barger claims that the trouble started because the Rolling Stones wanted to wait until sundown to go on stage.

I agree with Keith Richards assessment of Metallica: “It sounds like a dull thud to me. For most bands, getting the syncopation is beyond them. It’s endless thudding away, with no bounce, no lift, no syncopation. Millions are in love with Metallica and Black Sabbath. I just thought they were great jokes.” I also agree with Jeffrey Lebowski's assessment: "Bunch of a$$holes."
