… also, McCready mentioned that the new song “Wreckage” is in open G. I listened to it this morning, and I was like, “Hey, there’s Keith’s Tell Me Straight chord.” And then, “Actually the whole thing sounds like it could’ve been on Hackney Diamonds.” Stupid me — Andrew Watt produced it, of course!

So the band was on the Howard Stern Show this morning. Mike and Eddie told a funny story about opening for Keith on NYE 1993, then Howard asked Mike about open-G and taking the low-E string off, etc. McCready explained that Keith learned his tunings from Gram Parsons. He sounded like a huge and deeply-rooted fan. Not sure how he got that history so wrong.

Meanwhile, uptempo favourites Start Me Up, Sympathy for the Devil, Jumpin’ Jack Flash, Honky Tonk Women, Street Fighting Man, Paint it Black and Gimme Shelter are likely to be highlights during the 19-date tour.” I

QuoteRoadster32 Wise words by Keith (around 2:40): video: You got to know acoustic before you got to know electric stuff. They just put a microphone in. He said phone as in “telephone.” A classic Keith-ism. The unexpectedly insightful one-liner. My other favorite is “Money is a funny thing. If you think about it too much, there’s never enough.

Quotehockenheim95 Quotedoitywoik Judging from the past decades there is a better chance in Europe to get more than just two new songs. Maybe one will have to wait for a potential European leg of the tour for more of the new songs. But who knows. I think it is more the other way around. Let's have a look at the latest studio albums and songs played on the associated tours! A Bigger Bang:

Just as much down to them overdoing it, safe in the knowledge that in the modern show format they could get away with it . There’s definitely something to that.

QuoteMathijs On several Licks shows I noticed they had a habit of smoking big joints before or during the show. At Vredenburg Keith smoked a big joint on stage (considered quite childish in The Netherlands...), and 10 minutes later he was completely out of it, hardly being able to play guitar. At Olympia you could see Wood smoke a joint backstage, and he was just completely out of it during the

QuoteDandelionPowderman "From the Led Zeppelin III ambition of "Cross Your Fingers" to the funked-out "Dirty Cold Sun" to the wistful album closer "Kindred Friend," it all would fit even better on Seventies AOR radio than, say, the Rolling Stones' Hackney Diamonds." I’m not so sure that’s a feature rather than a bug.

Preemptive setlist complaints! They could easily fit more than 19 songs in their allotted two-plus hours. But they choose to needlessly extend the length of certain warhorses. Maybe next year, with a new album to feature, will be different!
