They really look remarkably cool for their age, and Jagger moves like no old man should. My problem is I can't put my finger on what's wrong with the sound. Is it the lack of Wyman or Keith backing vocals? is there massive soundboard trickery at work? Is it just a weird mix designed for film?

True story, once David Keith walked into my bar and ordered a beer, the place was empty, so I walked up and told him how much I enjoyed him in White Of The Eye, he put his beer down and literally ran out the door! I guess he had a hard time w/Cammell too.<br /><br />"Charlie using dope and speed?"<br />It was fairly common knowledge at the time (late 80's/early 90's), although I think the only writer to broach the subject was Nick Kent.<br /><br />" Lennon, whoever. "<br /><br />He says nothing but nice things about Lennon (and McCartney) in the book. Mick is famous for being rude to people, especially refusing to acknowledge a greeting, often embarrassing his employees,friends, etc. in public. I know of one welder who toured with the Stones for nearly two years (Bridgework To Babylon tour) and when he ran into Mick a week after the tour ended, Mick acted like he'd never seen him before, looking right through him and then signaling his heavy to get the guy out of the room. Probably the root of the reason he's so disliked by those around him. He also forces anyone around the Stones to choose sides- him or Keith, you can't be friends or even friendly with both. According to Keith, Jagger refused to even say hello to Bobby Keys for an entire year on the road when he first came back (and it took Keith ten years to get him back in the group).The Houndhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06328225246284521960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3226924615283203864.post-88728604320339599792010-10-30T13:13:34.718-04:002010-10-30T13:13:34.718-04:00Charlie using dope and speed?

We all know about Keith's great guitar playing but while his solo records were always pretty good sometimes great they weren't the Stones. I can't help but think Jagger hasn't gotten his share of credit for the Stones' sound and classic material. He's just not as likable because he doesn't have that outlaw image that everyone thinks is cool. He's more of a rebel in a way because he just does what the fuck he wants and isn't afraid to live outside his prescribed role unlike Keith. I am certainly not as knowledgable as the Hound but those are my impressions.Skoolboy Jimnoreply@blogger.com
