Quotemarko I would assume that non-paid taxes finally caught them. No, that's defintely not the case. TSP was an official company - remember, we are talking about legal bootlegs here - and of course, they paid all taxes. They even paid mechanical copyrights so Jagger/Richards had some nice extra income from the sales of TSP Stones releases. It came to an end when the international

QuoteThe Joker Disregarding charismatic Keith, and Mick, X-Pensive Winos win against Brothers of Sodom, IMO I am not so sure. I think the Brothers drummer sucks - technically he is good, but he does not swing, he also plays too many stops, breaks and rolls for my taste. But listening to the Brothers club show, the blues numbers in particular, I would say they could really cook on occasion. All

Quoteskipstone It's always been my understanding that the ABKCO Music tracks were recorded for Sticky Fingers. As in, they were already finished, they just held them over for whatever reason.

Quotebassplayer617 The thing that strikes me is that Ronnie and Keith have a natural empathy, as demonstrated here. This is further proof that Ron was the obvious choice to join the Stones in 1975. So true! And it really showed in the music they produced on albums and on stage up until, let's say 1986. After that, Ronnie's role slowly faded, up to a point that on the ABB album, he w

It's one of those Stones songs that tends to get overlooked by fans and of course the band themselves, but also one that other bands would have built their careers on.

5th Stone, 6th Stone - whatever. During rehearsals Jagger discusses the arrangements with Chuck, and not with Keith or Charlie, not to speak of Ronnie. In fact, if someone is treated like a hired hand it's Ronnie. Chuck is there for a reason. He gets the fire from a lot of fans who believe Keith and Ronnie are not actually dominating the band with their guitar sound anymore just because Chuc
