DW came out right before I got a real job. It was noted for having that scthing pair of Mick/Keith interviews & it was obvious that there would be no tour. I loved Harlem Shuffle & I even liked the video at the time. I'm told it's racist but I just don't see that. |

I never saw it as racist..the video was a bit embarrassing imo...Keith's hair was beginning to thin, and he wore that hat in the video. I did not care for Harlem Shuffle at all, as it did not rock, and was embarrassing as all the college kids were into the MTV crap then...One hit , Fight, Had it with you, and a few other decent songs... |

I hold it from a good source (a friend who was on tow during these sessions) that they generally all had dinner together at the "Val d'Isère" restaurant before proceeding to Boulogne to record the DW, there was no fighting and everyone was pretty chummy it seems. He had told me that Charlie was "out of it", and at the time I thought it was from the booze, but in the meantime we've found out from the man himself that was, something, er...slightly stronger.
They did indeed regularly meet at Val d'Isere - nice little restaurant in Rue de Berri off the Champs Elysees, and directly opposite the Hotel Warwick, one of the hotels they regularly use for their crew, etc (and where I once met Bobby Keys). Unfortunately the restaurant is now gone, replaced by an African place. However, I'm not so sure that they regularly proceeded to Pathe Marconi together. The books of photos I've seen from then (some of which we used as headers a few months ago) sugest otherwise.
Relationships in Paris didnt seem as fractious as they appeared to be by the time they went to New York a couple of months later. |

Only a paranoid idiot would see that cartoon as racist. Its a cartoon, its set in Harlem, so its quite natural that some of the characters portrayed would be er...black. |

I quite vividly remember the video with the "dancing cats" when I was a kid.
Didn't Paula Abdul have a video with a dancing cat? |

Yes...she had a few bigs hit in the late 80's or early 90's....married Emilio Estevez but sadly, did not work out. The Stones never made a decent video....The only one that I ever liked was "Love is Strong".... |

I find her harmless....do you think that Paula and Randy are making millions doing this ? I saw her selling her faux jewelry on HSN last week!!! Also, last night was watching the great Al Pacino in "Dog day afternoon", and the had the great 'Esteban" on HSN selling literally thousands of his guitars!!! |

The videos from the "Undercover" album were alright, but the music in them sounds like a 33 played at 45 RPM.
Kinda like the Chipmunks are playing "She Was Hot".

Good point, the pictures (my friend was on one with Mick that was cut in the header used here) that were posted a couple of months ago (by the way was there ever a "summary thread" ?) showed them in the daytime mostly but they would have normally started playing at night. Too bad no one ever documented these sessions in writing, the last "public" sessions really, other than he B2B sessions I guess. |

it depends which stones you feel is the genuine stones. A case could be made for between the buttons being the last genuine album, or emotional rescue, or the current one.
For me Steel Wheels was the last genuine album. Voodoo was an attempt to break with tradition,B2B was their voodoo redux experiment. Bang is too new to be considered anything !
