wintersway dick taylor original, please, i dont consider a couple of rehearsals in front of four people before they even had theyre name an original member, besides none of the stones ever even mention him
1st June 2006 08:56 PM
Gazza he was there a lot longer than that, in fairness - he played with them live until October 1962 and also on their first studio demo session that same month

regardless of how little they choose to mention him (which is no big deal as they're not averse to even cropping Bill out of photos!) he was still a bonafide original member

MissJaneDoe Oh great, another chance for everyone to talk smack about Brian Jones. I can already picture a wasted Keith rambling about what a druggie Brian was.

Blah blah blah

none of the current Stones have anything to do with it, so I reckon youre safe....

plus as its only up to 1966, I doubt there'll be too much about Brian being a 'druggie'....

pdog It might be good, but it reminds me of a few releases were people talk about The Stones, no music, no live footage, just talking...
A book might've been more fun.

dick taylor was a crucial element in the stones story and he provided an important link between mick and keith

to go off topic a bit - the mention of dick taylor and the huge joint that i have just smoked have caused me to think on the notion of the importance of an any one individual or event in the course of history

i dont know the population of the london musical community that the stones grew out of - Alexis Korner's band being the focal point for that imho - so you wonder if mick and kleith had not met on that train station platform would they, if they had continued to follow their commitment to the music, have crossed paths in any event at some stage...and given that they had already known each other since the age of four well they could have quite likely done something resembling the stones as they are

True Gazza. I think this deals with the era prior to Brian's druggy period. This is the Brian's Women beating period. Which,ofcourse,was right after the Brian impregnates and leaves women and children behind period.


He was such a gent!

The_Worst "Under Review" is a series...Don't get your hopes up guys...I have a Pink Floyd & a Who one....It's just a bunch of music critics talking about the albums...They show footage but usually don't have the full legal rights to play the Stones official recordings so they usually have a cover band playing the songs...

Hm, I wonder which band it will be. The Counterfeit Stones is a good band - the singer does a good Mick.

His blip called The Pretty Things did some cool stuff... Blip or not, cool is cool to me, and success is measured by everyone in different ways...
The real question is, did he ever play with them, when they were called The Rolling Stones? The answer solidifies any arguments as to whether he was a Stone or not!

If your definition of when the Stones started is the day they got a record contract with Decca, then maybe

However, the band started in July 1962, played several gigs and also first entered a recording studio that year. Taylor was present for all of that - which is a far cry from "a couple of rehearsals in front of four people before they even had their name "

MemoFromTinaTurner I don't know nor do I care if Dick was an original member or not, all I know is that The Pretty Things kicked all kinds of ass. Brilliant band. Their first two albums are incredible and still sound great nowadays.
