QuoteDandelionPowderman 'X factor is the competent Waddy Wachtel' Nuff said... Keith put together a fantastic live band and Waddy is the X factor in that live band to me. Keith himself shines when he is challenged. Keith needs the competence and the versatility of a Waddy to keep him focussed on the music. The Winos sound exactly like what we want them to sound like - loose and seem

Quotekleermaker The Rolling Stones, especially Jagger, are masters in blowing up things, in not using the possibilities available. This tour we see that phenomenon again, causing all kinds of theories and speculation. All because of personal egos and interests. That's the fate of this band and why it will never be remembered as great as the Beatles. Of course no Rolling Stones without Jag

QuoteThrylan True. As far as "who wrote what", likely Keith came with chords, structure and lyrical ideas. Brian's slide it beautiful in its simplicity; what he plays is obvious, likely the first thing that would pop up for anyone laying down slide on that. Mick likely "finished" the lyrics, and bam!
