QuoteCristiano Radtke Listen to an unreleased outtake of Beatles' classic Thanks Cristiano! Being that it's a work in progress, it's fascinating. As the writer states: "It’s safe to say the final version is more of a banger, but this recording offers an intriguing glimpse into the Fabs’ world".

Out of the four - Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young - I've always felt that Crosby was the weakest link. Sure a couple of good songs he's written, and sure a bit of decent guitar here and there, and of course great backing vocals (and even an occasional great lead vocal). But compared to the others, and on his own.... weak.

One of my favorite Dylan surprises happened three nights in a row - great versions of the Stones' Brown Sugar Oct. 15, 16, and 17, 2002 at the then newly refurbished Wiltern Theater. He was the first to break in the 'new' theater a few weeks before the Stones played there. Another memorable Dylan surprise - sitting next to Ronnie Wood 5th row center at the Santa Monica Ci

That's how Peter Tork got the job instead, because of his connection with Stephen Stills and the area folk scene.

I don't have the 'real scoop', but the last couple of times I saw him up close he kept his right arm straight and dangling down most of the time, while his left hand was clinched and tucked in to his waste. Sometimes he would clinch the mic stand or his harmon

There were eight long years between Bridges and A Bigger Bang, and while I don't know how, when, or where ABB was all recorded, the results left a bit to be deisred imo. So now we're at the 12 year mark since ABB and nothing original released yet. Will all this extra time guarantee an album? I hope so. Will it guarantee a great album? Hard to predict. While I'm hopeful it will

Quotecrholmstrom Reports say Charlie really liked playing with Jeff & was disappointed it didn't work out. Everybody's is entitled to their own opinion but for me, Jeff is my favorite guitar player of all time. Totally changed my musical direction in life in 1976. He opened (with Jan Hammer) for Aerosmith in the Kingdome Seattle. A horrible sounding concrete dome. My 3rd concert eve

Regarding the originals that make up the covers of Blue and Lonesome Charlie said: "we just copy it, really" which says alot. In other words, they were simply copying the originals without stamping anything new on to the tunes which was the feeling I got when first hearing it. Nothing new added that hadn't already been done, but it was an enjoyable album for what it is even tho

Quotematxil I agree with HMS here. Whether you personally like Blue & Lonesome or not, as an album it will never have that legendary status as BB, LIB, SF and EOMS. In 15 years or 25 years or 50 years, if people will still talk about the Stones, they will mention the Big Four, and hits like Satisfaction and Start Me Up. They will not mention B&L in that same way. The only way it might ge
