Keith Richards is to the Rolling Stones What Flavor Flav is to Public Enemy

I recently looked into Sly & Robbie's back catalog which included a collaboration with The Rolling Stones ("Too Much Blood" on 1983's "Undercover" album). This made me revisit several of my favorite Stones albums as well.While doing this, I reencountered "Too Rude" from 1986's "Dirty Work" album - a song which features lead vocalist Keith Richards and which is closer to 'roots reggae' than "Too...

TestosterStones: Tell me, musically what is the finest era of The Rolling Stones?Okay, buddah bing, I gotta say the Brian Jones thing is the thing. We got the zing of dulcimers, the sting of dobros, the marimba vibes and a wailin' sitar paintin' our rage in wood so black its purple majesties cut deeper than the plunk of Rubber Soul.Better than my opinion, in my humble opinion, is the rave react...

*Rating* 9.2*Summary* The most necessary unnecessary album of the year.For all the Rolling Stones have accomplished, and that list is as extensive as the items Keith Richards has personally injested, none is more impressive than what Scorsese's Shine A Light makes clear: the Stones are outliving and outperforming their critics and chroniclers. Their peers had the good sense to be canonized:...

The Rolling Stones: Shine A Light
about 1 year ago

--- - |- In 2008, it's easy to be snide about the Rolling Stones . "They're no longer relevant; they're only in it for the money; they're ancient; they're a joke." I read these criticisms often - usually immediately upon the Stones announcing a new album and/or tour. And after a few too many mediocre albums, sometimes I even utter similar criticisms myself. The last time I saw them, at Ma...

Let it Bleed like u never heard it...

Though this is a bootleg re-master it is an absolutely brilliant remastering and reinterpretation of the Stones late 60's classic. The folks over at ABCKO could take a lesson from Mickboy when it comes to remastering the Stones back catalog. This is without a doubt the very best version of this disc my ears have ever heard IMHO. The songs literally come bounding out of the speakers like an abso...

Rock Shrine No. 22 – The Scotch of St. James

The first London rock star club was the Ad Lib but by 1966 it was passe and everyone was on to the next club - The Scotch of St. James. The area of St. James has a long history as a discreet playground for the louche, moneyed, and landed and The Scotch of St. James was the ultimate in discretion - in a small yard off a side street, reached only by an easily missed driveway.Andrew Loog Oldham de...
