Quotedaspyknows QuoteRockman AWWWW come on support the Clap .... been there, done that. prefer to support artists wo actually need support and don't support things I don't support. also have no need for physical media whether its cd, vinyl, blue ray, cassette, 8 track etc. And that's why you support stealing? Strange double standarts to say the least!

QuoteDoxa Damn great remarks here about the latest album of originals here! I dig the variety of opinions. That's what discussion is all about, right? I said above that probably the album had been better if Mick had his will through - that they should have done something to the material in a proper studio, like Keith told us. Well, who knows. That's speculation if it would been sharp

Quotetreaclefingers Quoteliddas QuoteDoxa It is pretty hard to understand what Keith is actually trying to say there, other that he is bashing Mick there (a constant theme of the book). To me it doesn't sound it is anything about sonical matters at all: only that Mick - and only him - is so vain that he just wants to work in a fancy 'real' studio an sich, despite it not, as Keith

Quoterogerriffin i dont know why they weren´t sued by this rap they took for the ASMB song Well, there are no farting noises on ASMB so what exactly should he sue?

The 1978 Some Girls tour was the Stones reborn - once again, like in 1969, they were successfully adjusting to the times and almost chameleon-like, almost nothing resembles the sound and attitude of their 1975-1976 tours. There were early signs already at El Mocambo '77, no longs songs like YCAGWYW or Midnight Rambler for example, but it took the Some Girls recording sessions and the resc

QuoteDoxa Hehe, Rockie, that's the habit Zimmy learned from the folk circles. Nobody owns the music, its everybody's. You can re-cicle it as much as you want, since it only serves as a template for lyrical content. And it's only the latter that matters to copyright..

QuoteSomeTorontoGirl The defence rests. And likely prepare themselves for a massive counter-attack... Honestly, there's no chance in hell for this copyright claim. It's like James Brown suing the Stones for "stealing" his "sound" in Sex Drive. They likely did, but a certain sound is not subject of any copyright. Otherwise, artists could sue other artists for try

QuoteDandelionPowderman Quotedoitywoik For better or worse, we shouldn't forget that there are three guitar players in the Stones. So whatever the new album will turn out to be like, we can be sure that Mick has his share of duties in the axe department. It wouldn't surprise me if Steve played some guitar, too, like he does on Winos-albums. Isn't it enough already to get Macca

I did not really take notice of him until 1982 when "Your Old Lady" from the El Rayo-X album became a regular part of the Stones European tour pre-concert tape, so I dived deeper and became a fan!
