Is there really a need to embed each and every possible Stones You Tube performance, be it that some are just horrible resolution. Not to mention that once we click on a Stones Vid we always have the opportunity to click on the option which gives us a list of Stones Vids.

Not a rant here but I think it would serve the OP much better if this was mostly a discussion with of course a few vids ( of excellent quality ) embedded.

We were talking about Richards, Taylor, Wood and Jone's Blues roots and why the Stones sound has survived 50 years ....

Thank You ..

I have noticed that a few people have recommended Keith Richard's "Life" as a good way to find out about the Stones.As I wrote earlier in this thread Keith Richards is trying to rewrite history and give the credit of forming the Stones to himself and Mick ,this is absolutely and positively fantasy..

Well, after 10 years of listening to rock music and 7 years of playing guitar, I finally just discovered The Rolling Stones! I mean, it's not like I was completely ignorant. But I never really thought anything of them because I never heard anything aside from the songs they play on the radio constantly. How could this have happened? Well, my parents are avid Beatles fans. I have every Beatles album, but they just got Rolling Stones greatest hit albums.

But recently, I asked my band (Texas 99) for any song suggestions for a couple of blues gigs coming up. The drummer, who doesn't really listen to any blues, suggested a few songs by The Rolling Stones. So doubting that it could be anything we could play at a blues gig (remember, I've mostly just heard stuff like "Miss You"), I looked the songs up. And here's what I found...



I was definitely not expecting that, so I've been going back and listening to all the songs on the earlier albums. I think I get why Keith Richards shows up a lot in blues articles now! I have way more respect for him as a guitar player now that I've actually listened to him. I can't believed I missed this earlier, but hey, better late than never!

Anyway, we ended up adding several Stones songs to our setlist. And don't tell my parents, but I think I like them more than The Beatles!

12 X 5,England's Newest Hitmakers,Out of Our Heads,The Rolling Stones Now, Aftermath and December's Children.

Interesting stuff, and I've been on a Stones kick for about the last week now. The worst was my epic SRV kick of four years ago (listened to absolutely nothing but Stevie for three months), and while this isn't that I'm still making good headway trying to catch up on the last fifty or so years. I've also managed to get my hands on some early Stones records on vinyl, which I'm going to be really excited to hear once they get here. I also got some original Hendrix on vinyl while I was at it!

I've been re-enjoying Muddy Waters and Howlin' Wolf lately too. I've been familiar with their music from the day I started getting into blues, but it's kind of cool listening to them again after hearing the Rolling Stones. In fact, here they are sitting in with Muddy Waters. It's kind of annoying how the camera guys keep showing Mick ordering drinks instead of keeping it focused on who's playing, but oh well. It's still the best quality Muddy Waters footage I've seen.
