I met Charlie Watts backstage at the Blue Note in NYC in 1992. I asked him to sign a poster I bought at the gift shop. He said,"sure, give me a pen."I said I didn't have one. He said "You want me to sign this and you don't have a pen?" He turned around and walked back to the dressing room and slammed the door behind him. I was crest fallen. He then comes back out wit

His reputation took a beating at the hands of Roger Daltrey when he was in The Who. Daltrey was actually kind to him in his biography and said he was a good drummer just the wrong one for The Who. Anybody who could sub for Charlie Watts ("It's Only Rock n' Roll") and not have die-hard Stones fans notice is okay in my book. He's a great drummer.

I saw a picture of her and her kids backstage at Wembley Stadium in June 1982. Charlie's mom, Lillian, was also in the picture.

I may be in the minority among the other posters on this thread, but I find this album unlistenable.

Past opening acts include Van Halen. The J Geils Band and ZZ Top. This list is far from impressive.

PS: Doing cover versions of other people's songs doesn't really put the focus on your own work. Again - voluntarily leaving is complete BS.

"Those statements alone disprove any conspiracy theory." Yeah - if you believe them.

Sorry - but saying she quit because their live performance demands left her little time for a solo career sounds like complete BS to me. They are not on the road that much and the exposure for her when they are is publicity she can't generate or buy on her own. Hate to say it but I think this story is an effort to save face after aging out of Mick's misogynistic and never-ending demands

I hope that the guy that wrote the review of "Dirty Work" in this article changed careers after his glowingly clueless evaluation of some of the worst Stones material foisted upon their fans. Bet he loved "Bridges to Babylon" too. And has Keith ever sounded more bitter as the mid 80s cruised right by him and his band? I watched the Dylan/Wood/Richards Live Aid debacle and peop

Anyone's chance of seeing Led Zeppelin play live again ended in September of 1980. Accept it. Enjoy the records and videos. But remember - there is no going back. No substitutes, no "almosts." There is no way to get back.

and they wouldn’t play in front of a crowd again until the following November, when they kicked off a visit to the U.S. with a show in Fort Collins, Colo. What about Hyde Park in July?

Is it just me or did he wear the same shirt for every show on the 1981 US tour?

HEY 24FPS: If you are trying to make a lame-ass joke about Elvis Presley's stillborn brother, his name was Jesse Garon Presley, you douchebag. It's a shame he died and you lived.... Thank you, Spodlumt. You are correct, my joke misfired. I thought his middle name was Aaron. Bless your heart, Spodlumt Hey 24FPS: You are forgiven.

Don Was is the worst producer they can work with. He strips all the grime out of a record. He is as bad as Jeff Lynne. They should get Chris Kimsey as a producer and Bob Clearmountain as a mixer. At least these guys know what they are doing. The Stones have turned the last 30 odd years into a colossal episode in laziness. Shitty records, Over-priced tickets and paint by the numbers "events.&

I am probably in the minority here but I saw Journey and George Thorogood open for the Stones in Philadelphia in 1981 and I thought Journey buried Thorogood. Better sound, better energy. Don't like Journey, but I know enough to know when a band is doing a better job. Journey did.
