80's teenager here.
Yeah it was sh1t we only had hip hop,now the biggest selling genre of music in the world, and house music (thats that dancey stuff the stones and the solo beatles tried to jump on) The sixties stuff works really well still at Wedding discos. I WANNA HOLD YOUR HAND!!!!!! |

The Stones like Led Zep for example would build most of their songs up from riffs and groves. Then jam it it out and build it up. You have to remember smoking herb was a massive influence on Richards riffs and Jaggers` role on then lyrical and performance creations. He says he liked to create a different character every 6 months. This helped the Stones keep on rolling. For me Gimme Shelter is an all time iconic timeless song. It is extremely difficult to find anything superior. |

Just to add Bill Wyman is a genius bass player., so the bass grooves would have been coming thick and fast. I imagine that if Richards came in with a riff that with the brilliance of Wyman and Watts on the rhythm section they would soon be creating a tight groove, it becomes a chemical reaction were they all instinctively feed of each others energy.
It must have been an incredible feeling to nail all those songs while still in your early twenty`s. Feck me why wasn`t it me!  |

I have to say the 60's have always looked really sh1te to me,tame stuff.

It was generally tame until Led Zeppelin came along. Equipment was transforming in the 60`s and so was the blues. The Stones, Cream and The Kinks were not all that tame. Todays music is much tamer. |

I didn't mean the music so much as lifestyle,just looks really boring to me.

By:
Feck all health and safety.
Feck all traffic on the road Pubs full of characters Plenty of work Footballers were on a honest wage Teenagers were breaking away from traditions Women started using the pill  Bookies were characters that took a stance. Why do you think the 60`s was boring compared to now? Obviously you have plenty of free porn now GPT but how else is it more exciting? |
|
By:
It wasn't boring with the threat of nuclear annihilation hanging over you every day. That week of the Cuba crisis was more than a bit exciting.

I hope for your sake Iran get that nuclear armoury up and running. Now that will be exciting!! |

No thanks. It was more than exciting it was terrifying and not something I would want to go through again. Do you remember? |

just seen a bit of the docu that was just on BBC2. Wyman strikes me as a creep.
But its amazing the years they've covered. This doc is shot in the early sixties and Britain looks like wartime Britain. Fookin' dark ages. If you were them, having grown up in that period, you'd have to be pretty nimble to adjust to the world as it is now. The world is so very very different now to what it was then. |
|
By:
The dude seen in the documentary is Andrew Oldham..a bit of a charlatan to be fair. He produced the Stones early recording also. He was no expert though.

Almost all Stones fans will tell you that Keef was the man - he is on a pedastal. The band followed his lead (even Charlie Watts) when performing live. Richards wrote the vast majority of the songs, with Jagger collaborating (mostly wrote the lyrics). There were a few notable exceptions inc BROWN SUGAR which was all Jagger (admitted by Keef). Must admit I wasn't introduced to the Stones till I was about 19 or 20, but I got hooked right away and never looked back. There hasn't been a band since that's got near them.
So so many classic tracks but here's some of my faves inc some lesser known ones. Sympathy For The Devil (sublime but listen to live versions, even better) Gimme Shelter (epic, sends shivers down your spine) 100 Years Ago (rock, funk and jazz - mesmerising) Midnight Rambler (rock/blues opera, goes on forever but you don't want it to end) Can't You Hear Me Knocking (the greatest, dirtiest opening riff of all time) Monkey Man (crazy lyrics, crazy song) She's So Cold (is it possible to play rock n roll more laid back than this?) Undercover Of The Night (criminally underrated track, still sounds brilliant) Memo From Turner (my personal all-time fav, was on soundtrack of "Performance" movie) |

That gimme shelter must have the best intro ever. For forty seconds it is spine tingling, then there is that bit where they do something( guitar experts will have a more technical term) with the guitar that sends it on another level, just awesome, the next second jagger starts singing.

The youtube live version of Gimme Shelter with Lisa Fisher is awesome
|

By:
Yeah that is good Lee, amazing that she can shout so loud and still sound good. One of those docos over the weekend had a quote from Keith, and i paraphrase "me and charlie have been looking at Micks a.rse for fifty years, and we know when he is acting the bellend". Made me laugh but it makes sense, there is a coolness about them two and you can just imagine them looking at Jagger now and then and then looking at each other and both thinking "head in hands man".

For forty seconds it is spine tingling, then there is that bit where they do something( guitar experts will have a more technical term) with the guitar that sends it on another level, just awesome, the next second jagger starts singing. He slides from somewhere about the 14th/15th fret to the 11th fret on the 5th string, then gently bends the string. |
