Listened to LIB again the other day and reading the liner notes, I was amazed to find out that Keith was the only guitarist on most of the tracks...amazing parts all over, GS, MR, MM, LWM, etc..can it be the same man who committed the boring guitar parts on ABB? What a drag it is...and we all are but fortunately for the fans and unfortunately for the bank account don't have to live up to a past like Keith's! |

Especially "You got the silver".
I like to listen to the plastic with the alternate track list (as "misprinted" by the ABKCO).. I prefer how it sort of slowly grows from a relaxed, comic mood, to nearly operatic. |

I believe Let It Bleed was Keith´s best moment in his whole career.
Pick a headphone and listen to what the fucker did in Monkey Man!
I don´t even wanna coment on Gimme Shelter, hehe. One of his best solos. It has the same thing I like in Dangerous Beauty: a few notes, but they are all the right ones. Sheer feeling.

Agreed, from top to bottom. I marvel at Keith's playing every time I listen to Let It Bleed. The man was on a high in so many different ways - musically, creatively, etc.
I recently turned someone on to the Stones - a friend of my sister's, who had no prior love for the band - via this album. He thanked me profusely for delivering such a prfoundly moving musical message. |

Yes, he hadn't played like that before, and I don't think he ever played like that again...I wonder if Ry Cooder didn't play more than the Mandoline on LIV.
Interesting point about Dangerous Beauty, I'm not very impressed by the guitar throughout the track, heck it might be Mick playing for all we know, but that 5 second Keith solo is great, too bad it doesn't last 30 seconds, I guess he had a flash of brilliance and they just stuck it there.
I guess what saved B2B for me was Waddy's excellent playing, nothing like Keith on LIB, but these little touches that make a guitar part great and carry a tune. I'm fed up with that whole "weaving" thing they've been selling since 1977, there was no friggin' weaving on LIB! |

Life was much simpler back then. One could actually get excited about Rock n Roll. |

Yep, still meant something...now it's just a biz and the Stones probably are the worst incarnation of that.
Back to Waddy Wachtel, listened to SOM yesterday and it has to be him playing in the right channel, marvellous part. |
