QuoteDandelionPowderman QuoteTheflyingDutchman Who is playing those palm muted 8th and 16th notes around 2:06 etc, is that Keith? It was very fashionable in 8-tees top 40 music . Keith is always in the right channel He does those on the album as well. You can see him do that part up close in the 25x5 documentary (can’t find on YouTube, sorry!).

For my money, it’s Keith and Ronnie’s best tour.

In the case of Mick Taylor’s “Spanish,” I act usually DO think he was thinking about a scale. The whole thing is based on natural minor. I did a video about that too!

Absolutely he is hearing the chords underneath. I’m just saying that I doubt he is thinking about Phrygian or any other mode.

QuoteJavadave Respect. Skynyrd blew the Stones off their own stage at Knebworth. End of an era. R.I.P. Artimus Pyle has dined out on that story for decades now. I love Skynyrd, but the appropriate response is “So what?”

He truly was a wizard. He’s credited with all the lead guitar on Warren Zevon’s “Detox Mansion.” Sounds like someone using a whammy bar, but I believe it was all done with a lap steel? Amazing.

Pure speculation — ‘tis the season for that! — but we all make WAY too much of the “hit the wall” supposition. There’s no reason to think writer’s block, or a lack of ideas, has been a problem. Reading between the lines, we can all get a sense of the dynamic: Mick favoring an efficient, streamlined process of recording well-developed demos; Keith wanting to sit down “eyeball to eyeball” with Mick
Forum: Tell Me

Given what we assume to be true about how Keith and Mick agreed to avoid a Bigger Bang redux — that is, Keith workshopping ideas with Steve — do we think Steve will get co-writing and producer credits on the new stuff? This was the custom when Keith brought Winos material to the Stones. Will it carry over to this new arrangement?

QuoteMathijs QuoteMelBelli I guess I am making a distinction between tape accompaniment and things that are meant to deceive the audience. Charlie playing along with a rhythm track on D%G and Sympathy don’t really count in my book. Whereas recorded guitar parts definitely would. Agreed. I am not 100% sure, but having listened to Ghost Town live several times I noticed some very neat guitar lick

QuoteMathijs Total bollocks in my opinion. But...on new tracks like Ghost Town and Doom and Gloom they are playing along a backing track, and some guitar fills sound specially good and much like the original recording. The guitar riffs sound the same at every gig as well... Mathijs Chuck has MIDI-equipped keys for sound effects on Doom and Gloom (the spooky noises during the bridge and t

QuoteJumpingKentFlash Prince WAS the best. He really nailed it. The Stones well… it was cool they did a new song to promote the album, but the sound was a bit off. High energy sure, cool stage, good playing… the sound marred it. Come to think of it, didn’t we have a guy on here who knew something about it. As I recall it was something with the soundcheck and an engineer not saving the settings
