This is a really basic question but what is 5.1? what does it do the the sound quality of something? how does it change or improve it? how would it likely change the way Exile sounds? thanks! swiss

Is it possible they had a falling out...? I seem to recall reading Keith is not in contact with many people in the band anymore, but I may be confusing that with another of Keith's collaborations.

Tommy -- thanks! this is the kind of insights/opinions I wanna hear. I do think Victor Bockris interviewed a fair number of people directly but he also does acknowledge drawing from many existing sources. I thought Chris Needs book came out after Bokris? There is a lot of Bokris in Needs and vice versa, in any case

Great thread -- really fun stories! On my 10th birthday my oldest brother gave me 3 albums he said are important to have: (1) Let It Bleed, (2) Led Zep II, and (3) Hendrix's Are You Experienced? I almost never listen to Zeppelin, but the other 2 imprinted me indelibly and shaped my life. (I already had a fairly complete Beatles collection by then)

hi all, I just finished Victor Bokris' book about Keith. It was generally a really enjoyable read. I thought the addendum/update on the Bokris book wasn't totally at the same level of quality and depth as the first 400 or whatever pages, but that's ok. I'd read Chris Needs Keith bio right before that. Have also read Stanley Booth (both Keith bio and True Adventures of RS) a

hi...dear administrator. I'm honestly puzzled and a little hurt. I don't understand what the policy is about OT. Honestly, I don't.

Carl, That story made my day -- thank yu so much for taking the time to write it down and share it. Also the person who met Keith at the Knit - also very cool. I don't blame you for not mentioning more details. For god's sake the last thing we as Stones fans should want is for Keith (or any of them) is to feel more hunted and less able to live a private life than they already do

hi there! Word is the outtakes of Mick and Anita actually having sex (scenes that were cut from Performance) circulated as an actual film and won some European porn short film award in 1970. Is this urban myth or true? is the film (or outtakes) available? has anyone seen it? and if so, how/where? Has Jagger ever gone on record saying anything about this "film"? thanks, swis

Quoteangee Wenner also mentioned John Lennon, with Dylan and Mick as the three giants of Rock. Apparently he doesn't think either Keith or McCartney are up there... I have heard him talk about the Beatles and the Stones before, as groups. At least last night he spoke about Mick some, and also...when Charlie asked if the Stones would tour again, Wenner said, yes, it's just a matt

ok, so Jann Wenner is on Charlie Rose (PBS talk show) and has been talking for 45 minutes about Rolling Stone the magazine, the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame, and music. Interestingly, Jann Wenner has waxed poetic about Mick multiple times, featured vids with Mick in them, but no reference to Keith. He just cited "the most important living forces in rock" (or similar wording), as Bruce S
