QuoteJJackFlElvis didn’t really say much. But I met him. It was quick, but I met him. I remember he said something like, “I’d like to thank you, son. Oh, you’re from Texas, you knew Buddy?” It's always kind of unnerving to read things like this. You realize that to Elvis, Buddy Holly was a guy he knew, not a Legend. Kind of the same thing with that really nice interview with Bill at hi

QuoteThrylan Another thing that works against the "freeze out" conspiracy, is there are no Brian boots. Keith has indicated that he never brought a product they could try to produce. Bill wrote very little at the time, But he gets a song and a vocal, and there are a couple Bill penned boots. As far as I know the only recording of any song written by Brian is that Rice Krispies jingle,

QuotePalace Revolution 2000 I'd say as far as musicians go the loss of Wyman has been the most traumatic. If I were going to play amateur psychoanalyst I would say that Bill was the last impediment to the Rolling Stones' becoming 100% Mick and Keith's band (and from there becoming largely Mick's band). Charlie is fairly indifferent to what goes on in the Stones musically,

QuoteGasLightStreet Ernie Cefalu's logo is ugly. He talks too much. He probably stole the idea and said it was originally his. One thing he said struck a chord with me. He mentioned that the company he did the design for had the rights to use it for about 18 months (something like that -- I'm to lazy to review the video), and they produced a lot of t-shirts, patches and stickers.

Quotegeorgie48 A fourth design ..... only a red image printed on a yellow background. I bought the album in April 1971 in England. Often when designers produce a logo they will create variations for use at different sizes, or when printing in color or black and white/monochrome. I was wondering if that was the case with the Stones' logo, but there doesn't seem to be any rhyme

QuoteGasLightStreet There is the orignal, which is rounder, brighter red and the one gleam, and then the second one, the refined, more slimlined, darker red with a double gleam that has been used the most. Why would that not be John Pasche's? The guy in the video's version looks nothing like Pasche's version; it looks like a kid did it. Perhaps Pasche went for symetry and u

If he is perfeclty omnipotent and benevolent, as people often claim, then he would have to, on the basis of his own very nature, always do that which is perfectly omnipotent and benevolent.

QuoteGreen Lady Somewhere deep inside Mick Jagger there is still the echo of that voice telling him to Get A Proper Job... No doubt. There was an interview with him a few years ago in which he says that his parents were appalled at his decision to quit school and devote himself to the band full time, and that they were absolutely right to feel that way, that it was an idiotic decision.

He's just speaking the truth (and "slightly intellectually undemanding" is what he actually said). Being a rock star is not a particularly cerebral line of work.

QuoteThrylan Honestly, I think the same of Charlie at this point. For that matter, even Ronnie. Even if you switched back to MT, how would you handle the 35 year "Ronnie Period?" I'm sure MT could learn the handful of decent songs they produced while he was away easily enough.

I suspect the real reason Jagger play guitar a bit onstage is that it provides a break from having to run and leap around for a couple of numbers, even if they're rockers.

Quotedead.flowers Is this a thread to promote these posters? IMHO the poster is utterly ugly and none of the figures resembles any of the Stones not even the slightest, the "portraits" are simply hideous and grotesque faces.

Quotestonehearted Quoteblivet I don't really think it's reasonable for fans to expect the Stones to be great pals offstage. When the band first got together they were young men who shared a love for a certain type of music they had recently discovered. Of course they got along famously at first, but it's only natural that after twenty or thirty years they found that they had had q

Quoteab The difference between his inept solo on Key to the Highway at the Crossroads Festival the other night and his generally strong playing during the five Stones shows last year is the amount of rehearsal.
