QuoteDandelionPowderman It's even harder for us Michael Davis-fans... Agreed. Tim Ries will never finger his mouthpiece the way Michael Davis could. Michael's vibrato on "Terrifying" will never be matched. He may have only been with them a few years, but they are unquestionably the Golden Years of the band. And don't get me started on the songwriting credits Michael Dav

Regardless of whether or not they're getting along this week, can you imagine the way the press and people in the restaurant with their Smart phones would react to spotting the two of them?

Sorry, but my mind went to the 1982 Leeds concert. I half expected Chuck to steal the spotlight in a crescendo of plink and backing vocals and then I remembered, that Chuck doesn't exist anymore. There was something magical about Chuck. He made you believe he would be back when you least expected it. His long locks blowing in the wind. That irrepressible grin that said, "I'm the

If we're including "Easy Sleazy," then all of Mick and Keith's solo works count. I couldn't limit myself to one key track. I love all these albums.

Bill took what started with the ARMS tour and Willy & The Poor Boys and built it into a band similar to Jools Holland's band. It may not appeal to many Stones fans, but musicians (including The Stones and other A-listers) have enormous respect for them because they're tight bands who can play anything. They have musical integrity as backing musicians. It doesn't matter that Bil

Quotefrankotero If Charlie was the real boss I hope there's nothing like the Brian Epstein situation with The Beatles. For those who don't know they sort of fell apart after Brian's death. Agreed. I would hate to think the band won't still be touring stadiums in their nineties as a result.

Possibly he's done promoting his album so he doesn't need to make outrageous statements about other artists. Something Keith knows a thing or two about as well.

Supposedly it's 1990s material with a couple tracks from the CBS years. We'll see if that's true. If it's back to the classic 1970s era, this is truly unexpected.

Pino is an old friend of Keith and Steve. He was one of the final three to cut with the band at Sandymount Studios in the Autumn of 1993. He's not holding Darryl's signature bass because he replaced him. Friends visit when a band is cutting tracks or rehearsing. Even if he sat in as a favor so there was a bass player if Darryl is sick, it's just sitting in.

Wow. Cher without Sonny in the Howard Mackie days when she seemed like Elton John's counterpart. Seen now, it seems Lady Gaga patterned herself on this version of Cher when she first hatched on the music scene. Is it Vegas? Sure, right down to her own plink-plink and overdone brass section. It's also damn close to Mick at Live Aid.

Stu used to golf with them. They shared Rupert Lowenstein's services. Patrick Woodroffe worked for both of them. Andrew King and Peter Jenning who promoted The Stones in the Park in 1969 also managed Pink Floyd for a time. I think that's about it apart from the very early days of The UFO Club when Brian and Mick saw The Pink Floyd Sound in concert.

If you embrace any artist's work through this many decades, it is similar to a lifelong relationship. You remember the late teens and twenties when life was fresh and exciting. The energy of those years can never be recaptured. The next couple of decades, the relationship remains strong, you're no longer "kids," and those years are transitional without realizing it. You hit mi

Putting out "Fortune Teller" and "I've Been Loving You Too Long" with fake audience noise was shameful, though hardly unheard of in the 1960s. It would have been better to release the two songs as bonus studio tracks rather than pretend they were performed in concert, but it was a different era and labels and producers didn't care as much about "product" ha
