QuoteGasLightStreet 2002 Madison Square Garden. Yes!! In particular, this: From around 11:00 where all eyes from the core band are on Keith, is a joy to watch (for me anyway!). Sad to say that IMHO he's never played as good since that tour.

QuoteDandelionPowderman QuoteMelBelli Highly improbable. It might be overtones/guitar harmonics he's hearing that leads him to believe it's a 12 string setup with the light e-strings. It is actually in Nashville Tuning (as was Wild Horses) - which is just replacing the standard E A D G strings with those an octave higher (so - yes, like a 12 string without the low EADG strings).

Quotestanlove The word brilliant was really overused in this thread as expected. The only rock artist I consider a genius is Bob Dylan. Rock doesn't require genius. Agree with that - although I would also agree with Rocky Dijon that Brian Wilson was/ is a genius (even though he did produce some questionable stuff as well - as has Dylan of course!), but his talent for arranging, produc

A very memorable Hootenany performance - 2001. A very drunk Ronnie with Slash doing Little Queenie and a very naked Malcolm Hardee (British comedian) strolling about the studio. Don't take my word for it!...

Unless I'm mistaken (or I dreamed it) - I loved it when Midnight Rambler was played on the B-stage (was it '98/'99?). That would get my vote.

QuoteFather Ted Karma can wait. I've encountered aggressive, pushy drunks at shows and you deal with them by pushing back. Last one at U2 got thrown about 20 feet when he kept trying to knock my wife down. I'd have no problems telling this family to "f*ck off or I'll knock your teeth out". Yes - agree 100%.

o2 London (2nd show) After the Bigger Bang tour I had serious doubts that they'd be able to do it again. Keith really seemed like a dead weight for much of the 2 shows I saw in London. I remember feeling quite deflated afterwards. So when they took to the stage at the o2 I was literally holding my breath - and was so relieved to see Keith visibly concentrating on what he was playing -

QuoteJavadave Does Mr. Rose interrogate Mick about misogyny in the Stones lyrics? Given the hasty demise of his career after he got Metood, that would be some wicked irony. Don't think misogyny came up funnily enough.

Really sorry if this has been posted before - and it is over 15 years old(!) but this is hands down the best interview I've seen with Mick (and he's obviously done a fair few). A large chunk is about his 'acting' career, but nevertheless he really opens up and you can see he's genuinely impressed with the questions and engages with them in a way I'd not really se

QuoteBlueranger QuoteMisterDDDD Not their style... Never has been No? Then why did they pay tribute to James Brown when he died? Because he's from an earlier generation and a major influence on them before they made it. In the same way they'd likely do some kind of a tribute to Buddy Guy if he was to go soon (hopefully he'll be around for many more years though).
