Id also tie in Keith's cigarette use with the grog.If he really chain smoked as much as has been written - wouldnt his lungs be charcoal by now?.

One of the funniest is the myth of the X-rated scenes of Mick and Marianne in PERFORMANCE winning a porn film prize in Amsterdam. Seemingly no such a tape nor the porn festival does not exist.

- Doxa

That would be mythical indeed, seeing as Marianne was in Ireland the whole time, and nowhere near the set of Performance.

I distinctly recall an interview with Stu where he stated that such a film (featuring Anita) did win an award at an Amsterdam film festival.

Okay, perhaps I did a mistake in names. I stand to be corrected. But what goes for the actual 'film' and the film festival, I 've been quite convinced by some contributors here who live in the city mentioned that there didn't exist any such film festivals during the time. Besides Anita denies him and Mick having actual sex during the shooting but that does not convince anyone.

Yes, and we all know about Anita's close r'ship with the truth.

But according to one quite recent myth this pregnant woman was having sex with Keith Richards at the time... there supposed to be his socks as evidence...

- Doxa

Keith says it was his idea to record Exile while "living above the factory" and that this arrangement helped him work as hard as he did. Bill Wyman says that after several band members drove for hours to get to the sessions, Keith would often not even bother to come downstairs. Keith says the place was a beehive of creative activity. Mick counted down the tracks recorded at Nellcote, and came up with exactly nine in nine months of work (that's an average of one a month, for those keeping track, and they still had to do all the overdubs later). Of course I don't really care because the final result was so wonderful, but it's a good illustration of Stones myths and myth-making.

Another myth uncovered, recently minted, but valid nonetheless!

That Brian, or Keith, or both, played "Popeye The Sailorman" live on stage in the 1960s because they knew nobody could hear them for all that screaming.

I know it's probably just Keith's ego talking, but his supposed get back at Mick by banging Marianne could have happened after Performance in early 1969 or something. He doesn't specifically say it happened during the filming of Performance right?

Anyway, Marianne as good as confirmed it's bullshit by saying "It's Keith's truth".

Marianne looked hotter in 1966 than 1969 anyway, so if Marianne is telling the truth, Keith actually got in there before Mick when she was fresh and beautiful in late 1966.

Here is the Stones "weaving" in "modern" times, on a new song too (new at the time).

Id also tie in Keith's cigarette use with the grog.If he really chain smoked as much as has been written - wouldnt his lungs be charcoal by now?.

Maybe he doesn't inhale, that would explain it for sure.

Weaving

thank you. if i read or hear anymore about this ancient art of weaving baloney i may have to weave myself....

Weaving between Richards and Wood happened on exactly one album: Some Girls. After that it was just the "ancient art of playing twice as loud as the other guy" or "the ancient art of someone covering my guitar parts". In other words, the ancient art of bvllshit.

Sorry about the edits. I'm bad at the ancient art of typing.

Some songs on ER have that, Dance (1 and 2), Down In The Hole and just about all of the '78 tour. I do agree, though, I'm tired of hearing about it, especially since it's only on a few tunes (record-wise).

i know this sounds like a recording...but the idea that the stones guitarists have ever done anything different than any two musicians (or more) who play together do is preposterous. all musicians play off of one another - that's the WHOLE POINT. to hear keith talk about it, you'd think they'd invented a new way of playing music.

But, did MJ really bite off the end of his tongue when doing a forward roll during a gym exercise - this was meant to have something to do with his unique singing style!

Mick bit off the tip of his tongue in a gymnastics accident.

<<Mick Jagger is such a perfect actor that even if you miss a few words he makes you understand what he is saying<<
According to Tony Scaduto , Mick liked what the accident did to his diction. It made him sound "blacker"

It's ironic...they were so contemptuous of Dean Martin's act featuring chainsmoking and drunken behaviour onstage, and now Keith seems to be channeling him.

Agee, Keith needs an onstage and media persona. Makes one wonder is/was it really Jack Daniels in the bottle or some

If you have the Voodoo Lounge concert video, at then end of the show Keith is in the van talking about how hot it is under the lights while he's drinking a tall bottle of Evian water.

Yes, I've heard him laugh but why doesn't he have a "smoker cough"? You never see him have a coughing fit on stage or in the middle of his set.

OK, assuming Keith is Dean Martin, then who is Frank Sinatra? Mick most certainly.

Ronnie Wood could be Sammy Davis.

Charlie...ummm, Peter Lawford?

Bill Wyman, Joey Bishop?

I can't think of one for Brian....maybe Angie Dickenson?

As for Mick Taylor...now I'm totally lost.

You know, that is a good question!

Every old bastid I know that's smoked for decades often cough and splutter or clear their throat making lots of disgusting sounds.

Maybe Keith gave up heavy smoking years ago, but likes to keep up the image.

Q107 the Toronto radio station did a show on this topic recently. I think it was called just that too.

One thing I remember hearing was the rumor about Mick sleeping with David Bowie where Bowies girlfriend is said to have walked in on them "sleeping" together in bed.

Also Mick and Mick Taylor have an affair together.

I also caught the one about the kid on the cover of Sticky Fingers, everyone thought it was Andy Worhol but it was this other guy Tony something I think. I'll have to recall that one.

The analogy of Keith and Dean Martin refers to Keith's image of drinking, it has NOTHING to do with the rest of the band.

As I said earlier, maybe he doesn't inhale. I'm sure he did at one time but look at him onstage how many cigarettes does he actually finish. Most times he tosses them after a few drags.

Ronnie smokes as well, yet he doesn't have a raspy voice when he speaks, plus he never has coughing fits either onstage.

That would be a pity, because that LIFE book got on my nerves to such an extend that I gave it back to the library before I got to approximately the last or 2nd last chapter. Looks I made a mistake.

But what's the result now? No palm tree? No fall? What then?

well, God/Keith forbid me to write the ending chapters of his book here...
