Dude Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 1. Picked up his heroin habit due to a go-cart accident.2. Lay there nearby in a drugged out stupor while a Stones hanger-on crawled on top of long-time girlfriend Anita Pallenberg and had intercourse with her.3. Nearly got himself killed when he pulled a toy pistol on a guy who was actually armed in a fit of road rage.4. Stoned off his bejesus on heroin, the Human Riff couldn't stay awake thirty seconds into overdubbing the rhythm tracks for 'Rocks Off'. All according to a new book on the making of Exile on Main St.......... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
awatt Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 Wow, what a treat, a dream come true. I've always wanted to get behind the scenes of how Exile was recorded, since it's one of the best damn rock albums ever (or used to be, since I don't really listen anymore). Thanks for this head's up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

suites Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 That's from this terrible concert film:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%22Still_Life...n_Concert_1981) I remember that I and thought at the time is was great...but time has not been kind to that. I think it was a pay per view or on HBO or something. I remember Mick said at the beginning somthing like "for all those out there drinking a few beers smoking a few joints"....I was like 15 and thought it was awesome.

Dude Posted September 12, 2006 Author Share Posted September 12, 2006 An excellent more recent Stones concert film was At the Max. It was the Stones on an IMAX screen. I wanna say it taken from the Steel Wheels tour. Had some huge inflatable women (blow-up dolls?) at some point during the show. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
