Is it him or Mel Collins on "I Think I'm Going Mad"? Either way, so damn tasty, sexy sax on a fantastic sounding track - each instrument, including vocals, so delicious. Mixed wonderfully, too. RIP David - Doxa

Thanks, Rockman. Andrew's own take on the issue seems to be pretty close what I assumed. I don't think there is any bigger personal drama. Their once tight relationship and probably some kind of friendship was based on business. Mick's train just move on, and Andrew was left at the station. Looking at his used ticket, Klein's stamp on it. The boys did history together, but

QuoteSpud I don't think Keith's ever had to sort anything out in his whole life He just doesn't live like that. Charlie described him as a true "bohemian" In his non-released autobiography is referenced that Mick sees Keith as a pure artist and would like to have more people like him. It probably is the same thing Mick admires in him, like we all do. I gue

Yeah, my quess that is the Klein connection that Mick never seems to forgive(if there is any particular reason to be bitter about): Andrew being a vital factor the deal with Klein to happen, Klein taking the manager job from him, and then, when the things get heated, Andrew afterwards taking the side 'enemy', that of Klein and ABKCO. Mick probably wasn't that pleased reading Andrew

What actually did happen between ALO and the band that Mick supposedly still feels bitter about? He let them down after the drug bust, and Klein needed to sort that out. The band then make it indirectly clear that they didn't want his services any longer during SATANIC MAJESTIES sessions. So he left, but more like was pushed away. Or is more like him being heavily linked to Klein and ABK

Finally I wrote something somebody is actually seeing worth responding to. Not my smartest post I admit, but you know, at least something... But I cannot help it but in my mind Reagan and Springsteen always go hand in hand. It doesn't matter what they say in page 93 if your face is on the cover. 'Boooorn in the uuuusssaaa!" Bruce knew that, no matter how stupid he acts being like.

Damn, they are in a great form! I love those big, dirty guitar sounds plus Keith's playing is simply majestic in its economical efficiency. I am totally stunned. Even obvious "Start Me Up" sparks like hell with that monster riff. Same with "Satisfaction". What Keith does on "Gimme Shelter" is transcendental. Lucky you people able to catch them live! - Doxa
