Quotetatters QuotePalace Revolution 2000 I will be in the minority here but Johnny Winter has never done anything for me. Me neither. While I have tremendous respect for the albums he managed to coax out of Muddy Waters during the last years of Muddy's life, I walked out on JW when I saw him play an intimate club date in the early 80s. In fact, I think I may actually have left whil

I'm not willing to guess what music people will like in the future, but the band itself will not be forgotten. Given its cultural importance, even the most casual survey of the second half of the 20th Century will mention the music of the era, with specific mention of the Beatles and the Rolling Stones.

Quotekeefriff99 Quotejbwelda The Rolling Stones lost a lot when they lost Bill Wyman. He was one of the foundation stones they all depended on. Those were his bass notes. He was part of the stage personality, the anti-personality actually. And from what I have heard, he smoked weed non-stop, like any good bass player should. jb I thought Bill was the straight one in the band. Now I certainl

QuoteDandelionPowderman QuotePietro GHS had the superior producer -- Jimmy Miller. When listening to IORR I sometimes get the impression that the novice producers were learning on the job.

QuoteRedhotcarpet Ghs is the mature album and the last ”real” album with real songs from the real era when they still mattered. Nailed it. Of course it suffers by comparison with the Big Four LPs that preceded it, but in retrospect GHS is a really solid album. No filler to speak of, and the songs are actually about something. IORR is the point where they seem to have decided that having a

As others have said, I would too if I could make demands on a hotel. I've slept on some terrible mattresses in my day, and in his mid-70s, sir Michael may have back problems. That said, it sounds like a made up story just to get in the double entendre about "breaking in the mattress", nudge nudge.
