QuoteDandelionPowderman He's there Yes, but Wyman participated in this release. He was specially interviewed for it. Different case than, say, “Live At Marquee, 1971” or some other archival release he did not participate in.

I don’t think it’s out of evil will. Way more likely it’s Bill’s own choice and for contractual reasons.

Bill Wyman was a bass player who understood what a band was about. He was a team-player who left the needed space and let the music breathe. Keith, Mick Taylor and Ronnie could play some lines, but it’s more a sub-guitar than a real bass. Listen to the early take of Dancing With Mr. D. with Bill, from the GHS deluxe edition and compare it with the offically released take with Taylor and you hav

Quotetreaclefingers "Songs from the new Rolling Stones movie, Gimme Shelter"...songs but not 'recordings'. An absolutely Allen Klein move. Except that it wasn’t “An Allen Klein move”. It was Decca in England. ABKCO and Decca were two different contracts.

And once again: They split the show up on 4 vinyls! It's pure money speculation! 23 songs on 4 LP’s!!! Garuanteed they claim it’s for “optimal sound quality” and their usual 180 gram virgin vinyl, etc. etc. Nonsense! There are records that approaches an entire hour on vinyl, which sounds excellent! Plus the cover is just so uninspired!

Exile: ***1/2 Uneven collection of songs. Frankensteined or not, I like what they did to the tracks. ‘Plundered’ and ‘Following The River’ stands up against the tracks they made during 1971-72.

Interesting Ronnie was also part of the initial sessions, according to Nico. Not something mentioned by Jimmy Rip, though. Some of the Wandering Spirit songs is absolutely among the best Jagger wrote. I guess he didn’t want to waste the tracks on The Stones? Well, actually he could have and made Steel Wheels a lesser compromising album.

QuoteCaptainCorella It's shocking that here, of all places, the myth of Jagger/Richards setting up the Rolling Stones is allowed to carry on. Brian Jones founded the group. For non-native-english speakers the word "foundation" means "the action of establishing an institution or organization"... and that's what Brian did. That is utterly and unequivocally t

Only a moderate Queen fan here. Some songs and albums are really really great. ‘The best’, I don’t know... But Bryan May is a really great guitarist and really original. So, Queen hype or not, he really is among the greats. Even Keith has said that May is a great guitarist.

Question about the album they have been working on for years: Didn’t they gather to record already back in 2014? And 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019? They did scrap the material or have they just started from scratch?
