"The Rolling Stones" Thread

But did not include "Me Wise Magic" and "Can't Get This Stuff No More", so the correct total would be 75.

Lets hope that gets closer to 100. I thought the new Stones song I heard was good. Stupid that Bill & Taylor are not on it. I swear some band's and their managment just don't give a fuck about the fans.

They sound very different from usual here - Charlie does above all.

Not knowing it's them I would have sworn it was Jagger solo, and certainly not the Stones.

Very surprising to me.

Charlie Watts is actually one of my favorite drummers. He does some great fills and interacts with the guys up front very well. Bill Wyman is actually one of my favorite bass players too. Then you had Keef tuning his guitar like a banjo. I tried to get his sound for years and I read his autobiography and he spilled the beans. It's banjo tuning and yeah man, it gets that famous Stones sound.

The banjo tuning shouldn't come as much of a surprise, considering Keef's earliest influences were mostly country music, before he discovered Scotty Moore, Chuck Berry, and the blues.

And he's still known to tear it up country style every now and then too. With the Stones, or with country legends like Willie Nelson or George Jones....

What about Stick it Out, Redline Deadline, Top-down 60 and Smile, A Toast..., Shooting Star, Independent's Day, Phoenix Jam, Lucy Likes Six-inch Spikes, The Neutron Sound, Midnight Boogie, Adrenaline Push, Sabulossa, Zipperface, 2K, Guys and Dolls or Third Time Aground? LOL

I do not know these songs about which you speak.

Oh they were supposed leaked titles for the 2000 album that Roth and Halen had made, totally BS of course. I wanted to believe it then - but some of those song names... eh, they just didn't sound VH.

This is weird... The Stones doing business with Vince McMahon???
But Vince does know a thing or two about pay-per-view...

- The Rolling Stones will return to the stage with four arena shows in London and New Jersey this winter. The band will perform at London’s O2 Arena on November 25 and 29, and then perform at the Prudential Center in Newark on December 13 and 15. The December 15th concert, entitled One More Shot, will be televised live via pay-per-view at 9pm ET and will be distributed by WWE.

“WWE is ecstatic to bring The Rolling Stones into your living room, live on Pay-Per-View for One More Shot, the last date of their 50th anniversary shows,” said WWE Chairman and CEO Vince McMahon.

Even weirder... that's David Johansen pictured in that hollywoodreporter article (unless they changed it by now).

I have just about everything the Stones have ever officially released but every hard core Stones fan knows they have tons of songs that were recorded during more of their album session that were never to see the light of day. I found out recently that one of their worst albums (probably the worst) 'Undercover' had over 18 songs recorded for it that were never on the record and that these outtakes were better than the record itself.

If Jagger is so god damn money grubbing hungry then why doesn't he release this material in affordable packaging? The 'Some Girls' reissue was quite impressive but expensive as well. I'm sure the output of their mediocre 80's material that was never released might have some gems in it.

[FORD]

Problem with the outtakes from the Undercover sessions is that no decent sounding boots have surfaced as of yet. The existing tapes are all muddy as hell.

Considering how there's great sounding stuff available from Stones sessions all the way back to goddamn 1963, it's very odd that only the mid 80's stuff can't get a decent bootleg release. The Dirty Work session bootlegs are mostly muddy too.

I heard Confessin the Blues on the radio this weekend. I couldn't believe it.

Right off 12 x 5 .

Turns out it was Steven Van Zant's show.
That guy loves 60's rock.

Black N Blue sessions, January 1975, with some guy named Jeff playing guitar.........

Is that they guy Keef mentioned in his book to replace Taylor ? I'm to lazy to find it. Rory Gallagher was on the list and meet with them. But he bailed after he saw the condition they were in I think he said. Lol.

[FORD]

Nah I was being slightly sarcastic. The guy named Jeff who plays on that track is actually a famous guitarist.......



and I suspect he didn't want Mick & Keith to be his bosses, since he was used to doing his own thing, ever since he quit the Yardbirds. I doubt he was ever seriously a candidate for a permanent gig with the Stones.

So they hired his old bass player instead.

That guy plays guitar? I thought he was a hot rod builder.
