Quotewhitem8 Detroit isn't dead yet! Still a lot of kick in that rust bucket city. But yeah, I saw them in Washington DC on opening night. I thought it was a great show. Loved it. Sound issues, and some flubs not withstanding, it was great. They pulled out some really great ones that I was shocked to hear live for the first time. Hot Stuff, and a great version of Monkey Man!! Great show.

I was at the third show at the Capital Centre outside DC, December 9. Freezing cold night. I was beside myself the whole time. A friend tried to jump on the stage and got thrown out, without his coat. We found him shivering under the car when it was over.

A hottie indeed . . . She and Waddy and Zevon are all inextricably linked. Linda did a lot to show the world what an incredible talent Warren was, despite his being a total prick.

QuoteRedhotcarpet Ronnie does try to do the Taylor solo note for note but he cant do it timing is awful and he needs the help of pedals and great sounding amps, stuff that Taylor didnt use. Part of this sounds like some horrible attempt from a teen who just got his first guitar playing along. Once while I was sitting outside a small watering hole having a beer, I gave the owner a cassett

QuoteTheDailyBuzzherd he's hired a guy who can mimic Dave's playing note for note ( and he does, too ). Many artists can paint a perfect copy of the Mona Lisa. Only Da Vinci could have painted the original.

People, it was a good article. What facts did he actually get wrong? He told the unvarnished truth, and it hurts. By the way, the writer is also an ace guitarist and can play the Stones catalog note for note.

Quoteliddas Quotehbwriter . I always loved how this line sounds, but I have to confess I don't know what it means. What's a sweeping exit? And an offstage line? C Those are theatrical references. Mick obviously was thinking about Marianne, who was an actress.

James, I respect people who really think, and it's clear you do. However, I completely disagree with your hypothesis which I contend is full of excremental matter. Lack of good material in 30 years? There has been, in fact, plenty. Comparisons with groups that stopped 40 years ago? Unfair. North American perception? What, are you Canadian or something? (Not that there's anything

QuoteMathijs People thinking there's some mysteriousnous in Taylor's leaving are all trying to find more in to it than there really is. Taylor was fed up with the Stones, waiting around for Keith, waiting around for the Stones to explode, arguing with Jagger and Richards about royalties and credits, and then finding his health detoriating due to substance abuse. So, he left. Simple as t

Quoteproudmary Mick is very convincing in this song. I'm going red and my tounge's getting tied I'm off my head and my mouth's getting dry It is evident that he knows what he's talking about I always thought this passage was about Mick's lengthy oral stimulation of the lovely Marianne. "Tied" sound like "tired" to me; he's off his &quo

QuoteSilver Dagger Great setlist and very similar to a show I saw Brian do in Pasadena in 2007 which also featured lots of early surfin' and car related material. But I wonder why they didn't do the sublime I Can Hear Music. It's an old Phil Spector song, but the Beach Boys' version was Carl's production, arrangement, and showcase vocal.

Quoteloog droog So we can agree to disagree. I say the U.S. version is tighter and better sequenced. I agree with this, though I grew up with the U.S. version. Goin' Home should be the finale of the album, the shorter version Out of Time is better, What to Do is great but belongs on an earlier album, and Take it or Leave it, well I can do just that.

Stanley looks just like Howard Stern in that Hard Luck Woman video. I always thought he was in the closet too. Love that New Yowk accent. Rock and Roll Ovah. Comparing him and Ronnie is ridiculous though.

Quotememphiscats Excitable Boy - Warren Zevon (I realize he released an album in 1969 but this was his first release on a major label.) No, his self-titled first album, produced by Jackson Browne, was on a major label. You are thinking of Wanted Dead or Alive on an indie label. The s/t debut had Mohammed's Radio, Hasten Down the Wind, Poor Pitiful Me, Carmelita, Desperadoes Under the Ea

Hate to thread-crap, but after wearing out the grooves in FCA, I eagerly awaited but was deeply disappointed with I'm in You. I also think the cover of JJF is the worst thing on FCA.

Quoteproudmary During the BTB they could not stand the presence of each other. Mick's biggest mistake was to continue to collaborate with the Stones. As a result not only his career but his personal reputation has suffered Most unbelievable statement I have read on this board. I give up.

Quotejamesfdouglas Great song, I've always loved it. Wandering Spirit was Mick enjoying being a "Stone" without the dusty baggage of the others actually having to be there. And Wandering Spirit makes me wish Bridges to Babylon didn't happen when it did - it robbed us of an AMAZING possible follow-up to Wandering Spirit since Saint of ME and Out of Control (the two best Stones

QuoteRedhotcarpet QuoteDoxa Had they included him in the JJF video he would have dominated it despite Mick's dance and Keiths shades. What do you mean? The pic posted by Novica on Feb. 28 at 15:19 is from the JJF video. You have to wait all of 20 seconds to see him -- before Keith shows up!

My problem with Fool to Cry is the first verse is about the child, and the second verse is about cheating on her mother. Kinda tacky.
