Wikipedia claims that it was Bill Wyman who said, according to a few of his autobiographies, "Paint" was the final "Nanker Phelge" credit, for he says it was a collective effort rather than just the common "Jagger/Richards" credit. Bill Wyman played bass and also did the back-and-forth pumping of the organ pedals, and Brian Jones played sitar. Charlie Watts also c

I wonder if the Rolling Stones ever used a guitar synthesizer? I mean, with a guitar synthesizer, imagine hearing Keith or Ronnie use one of these and their landmark solos end up sounding like a synthesized horn? ~Ben

Take a look at the guest list. It seems like an amalgam of performers who backed the Stones' live sets: including Blondie Chaplin, Lisa Fischer and Kent Smith. We cannot forget that Sugar Blue is the harmonica player here. His work was previously mentioned on "Miss You." ~Ben

When the music video for "Undercover of the Night" was seen on VH1's Pop-Up Video series, one of the scenes in the video that has a sign outside the hotel reading "BIENVENIDOS SAN SALVADOR" (tr.: WELCOME TO SAN SALVADOR), the PUV quote balloon suggests that was "false advertising."

I also want to add that Billy Joel's 1971 debut album, Cold Spring Harbor, also suffered from tape speed discrepancy. He apparently was so upset the first time he listened to it in its final form, that according to legend he threw the record out as if to destroy it. He couldn't change the speed issue then. In 1983, CSH was remastered by Columbia Records, however, Artie Ripp (the man who origin

Is there any proof, as per the Wikipedia article of this song, that "Paint It, Black" was considered to be the last "Nanker Phelge" composition rather than the usual "Jagger/Richards" composition credit it has held for years and years? We know, of course, the "Nanker Phelge" songwriting credit was discontinued during 1965 (one year before "Paint"

Quotebackstreetboy1 ben,are you well? Yes, Roger and out. IMO, I may think this song could benefit from taking a few bits and pieces of other Stones songs to give it more of a prog-rock concept-album vibe. I could imagine dropping a few bits from "Jumpin' Jack Flash" here and "Happy" there, correct? ~Ben Edge (BrianJones1969)

Were there any songs that the Stones passed on in some of their tours that you had hoped they would do during that particular tour? "Midnight Rambler" - was not included in the 1978 and 1981-82 tours "Emotional Rescue" - never played live "Country Honk" - the prototype version of "Honky Tonk Women" featuring violin by Byron Berline Can you guys thin

If I could say something good about this, maybe: Maybe Mick could blow his harmonica until he is exhausted, giving Keith the opportunity to do more numbers where he in turn sings lead (stuff like "Happy" and "All About You" ). ~Ben

QuoteStonesTod QuoteBrianJones1969I wonder why they left this song out of their 1981-82 set list?

Forum: Tell Me

I have no intent on dissing this or any Rolling Stones track, but, to some of you out there, do you feel that there is too much harmonica? I know the studio version does have lots of harmonica, and Mick goes crazy on it the moment the song's tempo rises. It also feels a bit progressive due to the song speeding up around the 2:30 mark, then slowing down, and then returning to normal tempo through

QuoteHis Majesty SFM is all acoustic aside from bass, JJF isn't and he hasn't always said that JJF is all acoustic. But he does sometimes lump them both together as if they both only feature acoustic guitars. Both feature 1(SFM) or 2(probably on JJF)acoustic guitars recorded on tape machine. Then you have to consider you cannot multi track and overdub 5 or so guitars using the process Kei

Is it really misleading to state that Keith actually said he played all acoustic guitars on "Jumpin' Jack Flash" (and "Street Fighting Man" )? Keith's unique tone on these two tunes from 1968, as legend has it, was done by running his acoustic through a tape machine, overloading its sound so that the instrument sounded more electric. Contrary to legend, there are real elect
