"The Rolling Stones" Thread

[Jérôme Frenchise]

I have an original Some Girls vinyle copy and love to play it. One of my fave Stones album.

I also have a first American issue of Sticky Fingers, got it for € 5 as the guy told me the record might not play entirely.
A thick, heavy record.
It skips in the beginning of the second side on Bitch.

It's a well-know fact that bass guitar will especially stand out on vinyle records, but it's all the more so true on the Stone's albums.
Bill Wyman was a fantastic bass player.

Pretty sure the Universal remaster dropped "black girls just want to fuck all night."

"... I just don't have that much jam" as the next line goes

Rolling Stones Prep Live Album Featuring Lady Gaga, Bruce Springsteen
Jonathan Cohen
2–3 minutes

The Rolling Stones‘ guest-packed Dec. 15, 2012, show at the Prudential Center in Newark, N.J., will be released as GRRR Live! on Feb. 10 by Mercury Studios. The concert aired live on pay-per-view but has not been commercially available until now. Many formats include a limited edition set list print from guitarist Ronnie Wood.

The show came three days after the historic 12-12-12 Hurricane Sandy benefit concert at Madison Square Garden, where the Stones shared the stage with Roger Waters, Billy Joel, Bruce Springsteen, Paul McCartney, and the Who, among others. In Newark, Springsteen returned to guest on “Tumbling Dice,” while Lady Gaga duetted with Mick Jagger on “Gimme Shelter,” the Black Keys played on “Who Do You Love?,” Gary Clark Jr. and John Mayer lent extra guitar firepower to “Going Down” and former Stones guitarist Mick Taylor appeared for “Midnight Rambler.”

The DVD and Blu-ray editions of GRRR Live! also include three songs from the Dec. 13 show in Newark: “Respectable” (also featuring Mayer), “Around and Around” and “Gimme Shelter.”

The Stones wrapped their 60th anniversary tour in August in Berlin. The group has yet to announce any touring plans for 2023.

Here is the track list for GRR Live!:

“Get Off of My Cloud”
“The Last Time”
“It’s Only Rock ‘n’ Roll (But I Like It)”
“Paint It Black”
“Gimme Shelter” (with Lady Gaga)
“Wild Horses”
“Going Down” (with John Mayer and Gary Clark Jr)

Just finished reading the Watts bio, Charlie's Good Tonight. It's okay.

Just finished reading the Watts bio, Charlie's Good Tonight. It's okay.

I saw it for sale on Amazon.

I'm basically rock star bio'd out anyway, but seeing that the new Watts bio is authorized makes me less likely to want to read it. Someone commented that the book barely makes a passing reference to Watts going a bit off the rails in the 1980s re: drugs, which leads me to believe the book was pretty sanitized.

The Stones, Beatles and Led Zeppelin have been beyond overdone in terms of video/print bios and documentaries, anyway.

[twonabomber]

Yup, they blew right over the addiction phase.

It's kind of a collection of quips from everyone, about everyone.

[FORD]

I think most people are still unaware that Charlie even HAD a "drug phase". Hell, I thought I knew damned near everything about the Stones, and I didn't even know about that until long after the fact. He certainly seemed like the last guy in the band who would go that route. Ironically, that left Bill Wyman as the guy with the least bad habits in the band. Think all he did was chain smoke cigarettes and a little bit of weed. (talking about substances here, not his affection for the teenage girls, which was entirely a different matter)

And before I forget.... Happy 79th birthday, Keef!!

I remember Mick saying "Charlie wasn't doing well" when asked why they didn't tour Dirty Work.

Charlie looked especially stoned in the 1969 footage, and in the Miss You and Emotional Rescue videos. On stage he was always in great shape though.

R.I.P to his wife. Charlie was the only Stone who kept the same for all his life. Respectable!

[FORD]

Allegedly this is a leaked track from that new album the Stones have been working on for years now.......

let's just say it kind of gimme gimme gimme the honky tonk blues.....

[twonabomber]

Something's not right. Not enough "weaving."

[FORD]

Maybe... but if they recorded it in 2020/21... it's a little hard to do "weaving" when you're on different continents.
