Living Colour’s Vernon Reid on the band’s formation, Mick Jagger, and reaching audiences through “Grand Theft Auto” By John Wenzel | October 24th, 2013 Whether he’s talking about trading riffs with Carlos Santana, being mentored by Mick Jagger or hanging out with artists Keith Haring and Jean-Michel Basquiat, Vernon Reid is equally philosophical about what brought him there. “It’s a r

"There is a moment early on in "Too Tough," a terrific song on the second side, that sums up all of the Stones' extraordinary powers. With the guitars locked into a headlong riff and Mick Jagger hoarsely berating the woman who "screwed me down with kindness" and "suffocating love," the track is already off to a hot start; but then Charlie Watts comes barrel

QuoteDoxa And if speculate more of Jagger's position, I think he is such a professional that he don't consider these kind of 'personal' or 'nostalgic' matters over the actual working of the band. I mean, for Jagger - to be able to concentrate 100% to make his show work - the less he has worries about how the band works, the better. Even though he would love to have W

QuoteEdward Twining Quotesf37 In my opinion, "Laugh, I Nearly Died" was their last truly great tune. An underrated classic. Yes, i was surprised by that one,sf37, because i didn't think the Stones any longer had it in them.

QuoteDoxa Yeah, one of their best songs from their late period. Musically no equavalent in their earlier material, so also a rare moment of inspiration and creativity, thereby richening their musical vocabulary.

Jagger seems, so far, to defy aging, but if you look closely there have been subtle signs.

Quotemarianna Nobody has stopped him writing journalistic or narrative material in his spare time. He's had a lot of spare time in the years between Stones' tours. He's a slacker.
