"I hate all this idea of rehab and giving stuff up because it just means you're hung up on it." Uh, yeah, Keith. That is exactly what it means. Your point?

Ronnie didn't take the bass away from Bill; Bill just wasn't there. Keith and Bill, to my knowledge, do not appear on the track. Keith's on it. There is electric guitar on the track and it's Keith. Ah, there you go then. Keith it is.Although the lead doesn't so

dmay, that is why there is an OT as a preface to the topic. That stands for Off Topic, or Occupational Therapy, whichever applies. Often the OTs are a refreshing breath of air in the midst of all the Stones talk. I'm going to go out on a limb and say that everyone on this forum has interests in aspects of life not connected to the Rolling Stones.If it gets out of hand, BV deletes the thread and l

I met Bill at a book signing in 2001. He even signed my copy of 'Blues Odyssea" (sp?) "Love, Bill" which I thought was rather sweet. We had a split-second conversation about the Crawdaddy but it didn't go very far, as there were plenty other people waiting in line to get stuff signed. I've been AROUND Bobby Keys a bunch of times. I opened for a show where he was sitting in with

I think it's a perfect storm combo of all the things mentioned, probably the key reason being to save his own life, and running right behind that is that the Stones felt like a sinking ship in 1974. It's important to remember that the Stones didn't appear as incredible as we take them to be now. There was no live album to testify to the 72-73 peak. It was almost a secret. If you didn't go to the

Pete spoke about Keith's drumming tempo before. What happens is the synthesizer track slows down and Keith slows down with it. It's actually an example of Keith's mastery, not an erratic tempo shift on his part.

QuoteGasLightStreet QuoteFrom4tilLate Page flew Steve Gorman to the London show 6 years ago, and has kept in touch with him. He mentioned to Steve how he was pissed off that Jason was having "Jason Bonham - Led Zeppelin" drumsticks printed up. If anyone besides Jason got the gig, it would be Steve, provided the Crowes don't conflict. That is silly. Page really had an issue with THAT?

That album is an old friend. We got to know each other my freshman year in college. 1981. "Stormy Sky" is a nice one. "Life Goes On" is a terrific album closer because the guy decides to end it all and stick his head in the oven, but the gas company had just cut him off for delinquent bills.

Personally I think three electric guitars is almost always a bad idea. I hate the murkiness it's brought to the E Street Band for instance. Two guitars can sound bigger than the sum of their parts, but for whatever reason three don't do that. Skynyrd and the Eagles made it work, but only by working out parts with military precision and having absolutely no improvisation at all. That wouldn't suit

The story he usually tells is not that he "wrote it down" but that he woke up, recorded on cassette the little snippet he heard in his head, then went back to sleep. A "dub" the way he's using the word is a demo recording.

But if you're under the weather like Keith is said to be, the last place you need to be is Letterman's stage. They keep it freezing in there. 47 degrees is what I was told. I've played on that stage so I know. It's so cold, we had to tune our guitars backstage behind Letterman's skyline backdrop because if we'd tuned them upstairs they would have gone out of tune from the temp difference when we

I will say this, though. Keith is sort of known for never GETTING sick. Except for dope sick, and that's a different thing. He has always been known for having such a strong constitution, hence the fact that he's still alive.

I watched the clips to JJF and Shattered. (Didn't make it through Shattered to WTWCD.) JJF was strictly okay. Nothing to write home about. And, now, if you like this rendition of Shattered...
