Winston Legthigh Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 I think he has always been upset that they bought into the whole psychedelic movement for a brief time. So he always slams that time period. Plus - they were trying to copy The Beatles - which he also hates.makes sense. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 I'd say they made up for it though - Beggar's Banquet through Exile on Main St. are some of the greatest albums ever. He also probably hates the fact Bill Wyman sings a song on Satanic - In Another Land. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Winston Legthigh Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 I don't know where I read/heard it - but wasn't the idea for Beggar's Banquet - as a "return to form" for the Stones something that Brian Jones pushed for? He was a mess by that point, but I think it was in the recent Scorsese documentary that they said even though BJ was a wreck, he was able to come in and put down the slide guitar track for No Expectations in one take, and that was basically the last useful thing he did in the studio.

Analogman Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 That's one of my favorites. Chris Robinson does a great version of that song. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
calvino Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Speaking of Jones - I had the below book transferred to my library - just came in today. I don't know why you let Keith get you so cranky, A-man... your Wyman bit was funny, though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 I have an intense dislike for him for some odd reason. Someone gave me a brand new copy of his book - but it just sits on the shelf. I guess there a few books about Brian out now. I don't think I have ever read any of them. There still seems to be some sort of ongoing deal about whether he was murdered or just accidentally drowned. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
calvino Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Yeah - his book might really set you off, then - best left on the shelf. I think Keith helped perpetuate the whole murder of Jones a bit in some of his interview over the years. I guess I wouldn't be surprised if Jones was actually murdered. I know I read one book on Jones a long while ago, but I don't remember which one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Winston Legthigh Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Was this ever mentioned here? June 26 (Press Association) -- Ex-Rolling Stones bassist Bill Wyman has forced a local council into changing the wording on a blue plaque honouring the band after he condemned it as "disgusting". The plaque at Dartford railway station in Kent said Mick Jagger and Keith Richards "went on to form The Rolling Stones". But Wyman objected, saying it was the late Brian Jones - who drowned in Sussex in 1969 - who created the band, famed for hits including (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction. Wyman, 78, told BBC Radio 5 Live the plaque was "disgusting", adding: "It should be a plaque to Brian Jones and I think it's wrong. I don't like history re-written. "You see it in lots of books - I don't like it when people re-write history to suit whatever they are doing. It does rile me." Dartford Borough Council leader Jeremy Kite said the point of the plaque was to honour Jagger and Richards as two Dartfordians who met on Platform 2 of the station. He told 5 Live the plaque would be reworded, saying: "I have never upset a Rolling Stone before. We are going to put it right." A council spokeswoman said: "We don't have a timetable on when it will be done because we have to get it agreed and speak to officials at the railway. It's not going to happen instantly."

calvino Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Keith talks about the above Wyman comments in that St. Pepper interview, too. Below is the full interview. http://www.esquire.com/entertainment/music/interviews/a36899/keith-richards-interview-0915/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 He has always championed Brian. I have his book Stone Alone - which is pretty good as I recall. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
worrierking Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 I enjoyed that interview, it's kind of a shame all the publicity is about Keith slagging Sgt. Pepper. Big deal. I loved this line: "I force the thing to do as it's told." I chuckled out loud. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

calvino Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 I think he is sort of the Donald Trump of rock and roll. That's a good one. He has put down the Dead in the past, too. Like Rap, Sgt. Pepper/Satanic, etc. before it.None of this is new news - i guess he is re-spewing this stuff to publicize the new record. He does sound like an very old curmudgeon, though. When he was saying this stuff 20 years ago he just sounded like an old curmudgeon. Would be cool if played a theater show in Chicago with the Wino's (and it doesn't cost an arm and leg).

I always just assumed it was Keith.I think "Sway" was one of the songs Keith was "busy" during the recording, "Moonlight Mile" being another. + the riff on "Brown Sugar" is Mick Jagger.

I write in the vampire hours before heading off to work. I believe Mick came up with the riff for Brown Sugar. On a humorous note there have been several instances of Keith "forgetting" how to play it & Ronnie coming to the rescue. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
