I have to say, it's nice for a guitar player to put full body, heart, and soul into his playing, and spread his "wings" so to speak, but if the result of this causes the guitarist to end up missing some key chord changes or ri

How about a hovering B-stage, one that actually floats above the crowd and makes the rounds throughout the stadium or arena...similar to the little blimp they had floating around last time prior to the shows? Unreasonable? Maybe, but if anyone can do this, it will be the Rolling Stones.

I was 7 years old in 1970. The '70's are the historical and musical soundtrack for the most exciting and adventurous times in life, including my rebelious teenage years. To say that the '70's are gone would be denying the existence of one of the most important periods in my life. Mick Taylor and the Rolling Stones output during the first 5 years of that decade are su

Even if Beggars Banquet consisted solely of a 45 minute version of Sympathy, it would have stood the test of time and rank up there with some of the all-time greatest albums ever made by anyone. Over-rated? You must be high to think that...VERY high as a matter of fact!

Yes! Or maybe Darryl could dress up/disguise himself as Bill? I don't think he'd be able to stand still and pose like Bill the mannequin though. Plus, he's fatter than Bill and he'd have to cut off his dreadlocks. It wouldn't work.

Mick Taylor's wah-wah lead literally rips through the speakers. It's like a screaming fire engine siren singing through the streets at full speed ahead. Definitely one of my favorite Stones moments, and whenever I listen, I reminisce about the M.T. years and what could have been had he decided to stay. Could Ronnie ever lay down such an awesome lead guitar? Not a chance in hell.

Bill used to stand their looking as bored as ever on stage, he would literally melt into the background while Mick and Keith were up front and in your face. If he were to be invited back -which is highly doubtful- he may slow down the show. Instead the Stones could put a mannequin or a cardboard cut-out of Bill onstage...and let Daryll hide behing the curtains playing the bass lines. Ma

The tickets that were offered to fans during the American Tour were not the best for the most part from what I gather...sometimes even way off to the side and up in the rafters.

Yes, this is true Bjornulf. The audience inside the Joint was the furthest thing you can imagine from what a true Stones audience should be. While there were a handful of die-hards, the majority were very rich people who could care less about the music. They wanted to be seen by their fellow snobs. It was unreal, and the weirdest Stones experience I've ever lived through. But the Stones

"The rewards are often slender here, when they come at all". - David Fricke, Rolling Stones magazine. This speaks volumes to me. Slender rewards from Springsteen? If any at all?

I think OpenG has some good points at times..though sometimes they're very extreme. He seems to be from the church of "Mick Taylor Extreme Evangelical Fundamentalism", but at least has has his reasons to back up his tirades against Ronnie and the rest of the bunch.

Yes conjecture, but it's all based on facts and rational thinking. I don't think we'll ever know the true answer to this question, but I'm leaning more towards the fact that it was some poor old soul in the south of Mississippi in the early '20's who had two...maybe three strings on his guitar, and played what he knew. It took off from there. Keith stands in a l

Brian was the original master from the Stones who used open tuning. Someone else said it above, and they were right, it's all Brian. Check out all the slide work of the early blues covers, it's all Brian, and it's all open tuning. Keith must have been envious of Brians virtuosity and employed Ry Cooder to teach him some of his tunings. Keith actually stole the open-tuning from

I paid $1,000 face value for a ticket to the Hard Rock Cafe Joint show in Las Vegas. I couldn't believe I was willing to pay that much, but it was my first chance at seeing the Stones in such a small venue.
