Van morrison

i think it's fair to say that mick took a lot of what became his basic vocal style directly from Don Covay...and probably very consciously so...
more like Mick sounds like Don...in a way...

i would even make the case that don covay is to mick
as chuck berry is to keith...that direct a connection, especially in the early goings...

i don't think van sounds like mick...but van with Them, like the Stones, were really very much more directly hard blues based than most of their contemporaries...
i think van based his style and sound around ray charles as much as he could, but i think all here mentioned have their own distinctiveness.

i dunno who sounds like mick these days...mick himself has so many voices and sounds when you think of it...

Yeah yeah Don Covay and Jimmy Reed...
Always love the way Mick pronounces Tellyfone such as in @#$%&...



ROCKMAN

His brother Chris. Listen to the early interviews and his first album, early in the 1970s. He sounds amazingly like his Big Brother....

Chris Bailey (The Saints) from Downunder
Hutchinson (INXS) also from Downunder
Casablancas (Strokes) when he's on his best

Good Post.

The two meter tall Hungarian giant Lászlo Földes from Hobo Blues Band,
nowadays plainly called "Hobo" doesnt sound like Mick, but has got
the same attitude and that whats count imho. His music is
closely related to the Stones'.

Pic [www.szinhaz.hu] or [www.ujszinhaz.hu] (you choose)

ventilator blues



beat of burden

the smoking stones

? and the Mysterians - "96 Tears"

No 2 from the left: Kim Larsen. Attitude-wise this time too.
NO 2, Franz Beckerlee sounds like Hendrix.
Lost pic creds. Group: Gasolin'.

Franz Beckerlee was great! I remember a guitar solo from their live album where he´s really bending those strings...beautiful. I think it´s on Hva' gør vi nu, lille du´.

Dont ya mean Live Sådan, Svartmer? Hva' Gör.. is a bonus song there.

No, I think it´s on Gøglernes aften (Live i Skandinavien), 1978.

The lead singer of Sam The Sham and The Pharohs...on LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD.

Pecman

"Domingo Samudio" (called Sam The Sham) and "Van Morrison" from the time he played with Them.

For example Rabalderstraede...
You dont have the Live In Tivoli 1978?

Have you heard the coloured vinyl (what else) #12
maxi version of Bob-Shi-Bam... There I find Beckerlee's
barbed wire-style at its peak.

My Kids alway's think if I play a record of The Them (Van the man) they ask are these the Rolling Stones.

For me they are totaly different, maybe some songs have the same sound/fibe.

For me there are no Jagger soundalikes, although I ones heard a song that sounds like Mick "I can't recall the song was it " Sad Cafe" or something like that ????
