haha, i love the internet messageboards, im not sitting here getting angry, im just being a smart ass, which i dont think is foreign to dees here boards, i dont care, this is my last post on this annoying subject, even if you make fun of me

I detected a slight accent.

Hrumph. Well. I never!

you might also want to work on your definition of 'smartass'...
just a suggestion.

Any other thoughts, or did we exhaust this line of inquiry.

Velvet Underground might have picked him up. Now there's an interesting possibility.

what a coincidence! i've just got the latest photos of keith on tour.




i hear he mainlines embalming fluid these days.

Looking as fit as ever.

That would make a nice album cover, actually.

let's just put it this way: if brian had prevailed, i wouldn't be listening to the stones right now.

Seriously? You don't like Between the Buttons, or Their Satanics' Majesties...?

Will anyone pay 500 dollars to see them in concert from way on top of some colliseum?

the early stuff is alright save for satanic majesties. the only reason i've even got a copy of that ego-tainted shit is because i like the cover. i love beggars banquet, although brian was in the band at that time he really wasn't involved.

Really!? I love Satanic.

My favorite album is either Beggar's or Exile, probably.

I do think it's a good thing that Brian left when he did. And then died, boo-hoo.

I love BB through Exile, all that stuff. But that baroque period they had from Aftermath through Satanic also blows me away. Two very different bands, really.

But I think one thing that I absolutely cannot stand is when certain people claim that the band died with Brian. What-ever.

they were just jumping on the psychedelic bandwagon. while i am aware that they were doing a lot of acid during that time, i've done my fair share and i've never had any urges to make a shitty, flatulent record.

You're right, they were jumping on the bandwagon, no doubt about that. I still really love that album though.
