You wonder if Keith and Mick didn't have to be in contact over the Stones, how close they would be? George and John hardly spoke at all the last few years of John's life. Mick doesn't have to explain who he is, or how he lives, to anyone. He is not the Mick Jagger of 1968. Have any of you,who were living at the time, changed since 1968? Keith attacking Mick is like blowing spitwads

Quote24FPS We only need to point out what Brian did for the uninitiated. I was 15 the summer of 1969 when Brian died. I had no idea who he was, except a vague image of a blonde wearing a surfers cross necklace, which was considered cool at the time. After the radio announced his death they played Satisfaction. I wasn't sure if Brian played the signature riff or not, but I didn't think s

You can't win. Obviously you dig the sex, but that cools down. All you're left with is another human being. And if that human being doesn't make you feel safe and secure about yourself, how can you bring them close to you? Good luck.

I think the Stones have simply reached the 'What Now?' stage. Voodoo Lounge and A Bigger Bang were mostly retread sounds, echoes of earlier triumphs. Bridges to Babylon was an attempt to modernize but Keith didn't seem into it. They may be facing the studio with dread. There's no 'new' for them to assimilate and still sound like the Stones. Artists need to be inspire

A beautiful, elegant side. I've even grown to tolerate 'Waiting on a Friend', mostly for the god like sax solo. Maybe the last time the Stones seemed mysterious.
Forum: Tell Me

I know we get upset when Keith, Mick, or other Stones appear to be hypercritical of Brian, but they were there. They were all like one big f'd up family. And of course it's human nature for Mick, and especially Keith, to downplay their own failings. Within that family context it's probably hard to see the forest for the trees and give individuals their due. John Lennon & Harris

Look at Brian's white 'mod' belt. Ah, 1966. He also dressed better than Jagger, who was a bit more tame.

QuoteMax'sKansasCity It has actually become somewhat amusing reading the local "experts" weigh judgement upon the various Rolling Stones albums, their various tours and various band line ups over time.

I hope SuperHeavy knocks it out of the park, just to shut up those Stones fans who can only stand the guitar based 68-72 group. Give Mick a break. The few snippets I heard of Miracle Worker (not the remix) sound pretty interesting. But then I'm aware of Damian Marley and A.R.Rahman. The Stones have stopped using talented and varied sidemen and since Voodoo Lounge only seem to repeat sounds f

I'm beginning to envy fans who can listen to Stone's studio output post 1989. I tried to listen to Voodoo Lounge the other night and couldn't. Bridges, Bigger Bang, I can listen to 'Rough Justice' and that's about it. There's some songs from that period that still sound good live, but the last three studio albums have become dead to my ears.

It's probably all the stories about Brian being an a-hole with people that give credence to the conspiracies around his death. It's easy to visualize some working class guys hating him. But who knows? He might have been a sweetheart at the time and he simply had a downer or two in his system, a little red wine to boot, and voila, accidental drowning.

Man, I always thought of it as part of the great tapestry of sounds on the album. As a double album it's more coherent than The White Album. I don't think there's any song on Exile that I skip to the next track. It's lovely every couple years to put on a pair of good headsets and enjoy the whole thing all at once.
