My god - lloking at this picture I just can't help thinking: Have all Stones fans become complete imbeciles? I bet if these guys are standing in the front row they will watch the TV screen above the stage instead of the performers. And none of them probably ever wanted to play music themselves or even dance to the music.

Idiotic group, idiotic rendition. Who wants to hear another cover version of "Ruby Tuesday" anyway?

I play it in open E (E-B-E-G#-B-E) and if you like, tune it down ½ step to match the recording. And since you're tuned - you may as well try "Prodigial son", "No expectations" (using some slide), "Youcan't always get what you want" or even "Memo from Turner".

QuoteTippyToe I find the animal rights/veganist community to be very dishonest and they will claim anyone to be vegan/vegetarian if they think there is the slightest chance they can get somebody to believe it. Not exactly - for example they won't accept the fact that Adolf Hitler and Heinrich Himmler were vegetarians and they are excellent in finding dozens of reasons why these guys weren't &qu

I just found this one: a person named Michie Dee (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michie_Mee) doing a song named "Don't wanna be your slave": In my opinion this is mainly a rip-off of the Rolling Stones's "Slave" - not only taking its title but also the main riff, only decorated with some crap text and some half-naked black asses.

I hate to admit it (bevause he's only Dave Dave Grohl) but he's right. Keith Richards actually stopped being Keith Richards when he decided to stay alive in 1977. Since then Lemmy took over - without even trying. If you look at it straight - since they exist, Motörhead made the better rock'n'roll records than the Stones. But still it's Lemmy who recorded Keith's "Jumpin' Jack Flash" an

In his new autobiography "Life" Keith mentions the skull ring in the very first chapters, about 1967. It is not said if he actually wore a skull ring then, but he mentions the maker of his first skull ring there.

You don't call these jewel box inlets an "album cover"? True album cover art has long gone since vinyl records were replaced by compact discs. The last true Stones album cover was "Dirty work" - no true album cover has been done since. Just little pictures of things you don't want to see. Some of them real ugly.

CD 2 covers the time from about 1963 to mid-1966. Sometimes it seems Keith doesn't really rememember but his ghost writer just compiled some stories he found elsewhere and connected them with some Keith-sims... well. Still, most of it sounds funy and/or interesting (if only I hadn't heard so many times before). The most interesting things on this 2nd CD (of 6) are * Mick is nearly not existin

Since I didn't find anything about it in the IORR archive - does anyone know what the letters CUN and COC in the Rolling Stones Records UK album releases mean? Is it possible Ronnie Wood was somehow inspired by those combinations when composing "FUC her" in 1979? At least he was singing about some "COC teaser" in his song.

You're right they actually played some US live dates in June 1964. Seems Scheveningen was just their first concert in continental Europe. But sure one of the most riotous and thus best known ones. And maybe their shortest ever.

It was not only their first gig in Holland but also their first ever gig abroad (outside of England). As far as I remember (from reading about it) the Stones juzst played 7 minutes or something before the concert had to be ended and the interior of the hotel didn't look so nice anymore when the Stones and their fans had left the building.

Thanks, I listened to the song and I know what you mean. Seems Spider Sabich might have discussed her voice as well before being shot... or he had sung in the bathroom (better than her) before she entered with her gun... Anyway her looks are definitely much better than her vocals. Sorry, I just wanted to say her singing sounds like crap.

I'm sure most of you will know the unreleased Stones song "Claudine" which was inspired by Claudine Longets bloody shooting of her boyfriend Spider Sabich in 1976. The song exists in a shorter, more polished, and a quite different rockier long version. However, did you know Claudine Longet has not only been a shooter but also a chartbreaking singer from the mid-1960s to the mid-1970s

I love Keith's mother, Doris: "You're out of tune." That's one of my best memories, watching Keith in the Rossacher/Dolezal movie 1976 playing guitar. Out of tune. But always in rhythm. That's the Stones I need.

Remmlers live album "Hüh" is just great. Also I think Kralle Krawinkels one and only solo album "Kralle" (1993) is great and shows he was a much finer guitar player than you'd assume when listening to "Da da da". Of course Remmler also did some stuff that is not so very great, but how else to pay for a villa on Teneriffa, a house in Basel and to feed three children?

Quotekait German ROCK STAR Yes rock star, if you have heard the first TRIO album of 1981 and especially Remmlers albums "Vamos" (1993) and "Hüh" (live, 1994) where he had an excellent band playing with him. Of course it's GERMAN rock, but if Marius Müller Westernhagen is rock, Stephan Remmler is rock at least! We're not talking about hard rock here, though.

1. When people talk about the greatness of LAL do they mean the original version or the one with bonus tracks? They mean the original version, of course. But the new CD editions of course are the expanded ones which also contain some fillers. As an album the original is still better than the expanded edition. Less is more! Which mustn't prevent you from listening to the other stuff as well.
