The Rolling Stones - Sympathy for the Devil

"This "meeting" of two of the finest artists of the 20th Century - Jean-Luc Godard and The Rolling Stones - is truly a missed opportunity. The footage of the band recording their landmark song is certainly fascinating, as we watch the initially slow musical accompaniment for the song taking shape and metamorphose into the energetic, percussion-heavy final version we're familiar with. Sadly, it's also quite apparent here that Brian Jones (who sits in his booth playing his acoustic guitar, rarely communicating with his bandmates except to ask for a cigarette and eventually disappearing altogether in the second half of the film) was slipping away fast..... ”

The Rolling Stones - Cocksucker Blues

In 1972 The Rolling Stones produced a documentary called CockSucker Blues during their American tour. Due to the very explicit footage (groupie-orgies and intense use of all sorts of drugs) the band decided to censor the film. Many bootlegs were released into the wild until finally someone uploaded the entire thing on YouTube.
Sex and drugs aren’t the only reasons this movie was considered inappropriate and misplaced at the time.
In 1969 The Stones were also followed by a camera crew as they engaged on a big American tour which culminated in a blood bath at the Altamont Speedway Free Festival in California. Members of The Hells Angels were hired as security, many of whom preferred to be payed in beer, and they caused havoc during the supervision of the event. The end toll was many injured and four dead. One of the altercations was lead by Meredith Hunter, a black man who got stabbed 5 times by one of the Hell’s for drawing a revolver near the stage. The Stones interrupted their concert a couple times due to the the apparent violence emanating from the audience but decided to finish their set, worried that the palpable tension would escalate into a riot. It is reported that Keith Richards got fed up and attempted to leave the stage only to be confronted by Hell’s Angel Sonny Barger who pointed a gun at his side and told him to “Keep on Fuckin’ playing”. The Altamont Festival turns out to be a very symbolic event viewed by many as the end of the sixties’ hippy era. (WoodStock was held only four months before).
The Stones waited until 1972 to return to the States for their second big american tour, with high hopes of making up for the 1969 fiasco, and it’s in this context that CockSucker Blues takes place. The controversial content was considered too inappropriate to be released to the public as The Stones wanted to consolidate a better image of themselves.

Bookshelf: The First Time We Met The Blues

Paperback, 130 pages
ISBN-13: 978-0-9547068-1-4
RRP £7.99

On May 31, 2009 Music Mentor Books of York, England are set to publish a book that will be of immense interest to Rolling Stones fans. Subtitled "A journey of discovery with Jimmy Page, Brian Jones, Mick Jagger and Keith Richards", THE FIRST TIME WE MET THE BLUES is a fascinating account of the early days of the British blues scene. The author, respected blues writer David Williams, was a childhood friend of Jimmy Page, and is therefore able to provide many first-hand insights into Jimmy's formative years as a guitarist and some great anecdotes about his early bands.
As the boys' passion for the blues grew, they befriended other teenage enthusiasts – among them Brian Jones, Mick Jagger and Keith Richards – becoming part of a movement that ultimately brought about the '60s rock revolution. Williams describes how he first got to know Brian when he was still living in Cheltenham, seeing him perform with Alexis Korner at the Ealing Club, the gestation of the Rolling Stones, their earliest influences and plenty more besides. A couple of handwritten letters from Brian are also reproduced in the book.
The book culminates with a detailed account of a momentous expedition by van from London to Manchester to see the American Folk-Blues Festival in October 1962 – the first time ever that Williams and his pals had an opportunity to see legendary American bluesmen like T‑Bone Walker, Willie Dixon and John Lee Hooker in action – and an assessment of its far-reaching aftermath.

Expanded Get Your Ya-Ya's Out's first shot

The reissue packaging of The Rolling Stone's 1970 live album "Get Your Ya-Ya's Out" is shown in this undated publicity photo released to Reuters October 1, 2009. ABKCO Music & Records is putting out a pair of multi-disc CD and DVD configurations.

The album consists of songs mainly recorded during a two-night stand at New York's Madison Square Garden in November 1969, when icons such as Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin and Chuck Berry lined up to pay homage to the band backstage.

The "deluxe" package, coming out on November 3, includes a remastered version of the album, sourced from the original vinyl; a disc featuring opening acts B.B. King and Ike & Tina Turner; a five-track disc boasting previously unreleased live Stones tracks; a DVD with 27 minutes of footage; and a 56-page booklet.

The five previously unreleased audio tracks are the blues tunes "Prodigal Son" and "You Gotta Move," "Under My Thumb," "I'm Free" and "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction." Different versions of the same tracks appear on the DVD, which also includes behind-the-scenes footage.

A "super deluxe version," due out two weeks later, also includes vinyl versions of the three audio discs.

The aftermath of the "Redlands drug bust" (12th Feb. '67). I belive this video was shot in Soho, London 31st July '67. That day Jagger got a suspended sentence and Richards got his conviction overturned after the police raided Richards' estate - Redlands in Sussex. Richards should have been at the press conferance but had chickenpox and couldn't attend.

The Rolling Stones - Sticky Fingers Outtakes

This photo is what was used for the "Sticky Fingers" album cover in Spanish LP version, as the famous "Zipper" cover was considered too racy and where "Brown Sugar" replaced "Sister Morphine" because the still dead Francisco Franco didn't like drug songs. The irony, obviously, is that he had problems with the ambiguously gay zipper cover (as seen in the rest of the world) as well. And yet none with the truly icky severed members graphic that replaced it. As Mick famously observed in an earlier Rolling Stone interview -- censorship is weird.

Keith Richards or Richard Explanations

Excerpts from an interview conducted by BEST
number 128 of March 1979

BEST: On your single printed RICHARDS
with an "S" then "S", no "S"
What is your name?

Keith: Oh yes, that's my name.
Andrew Oldham said at the time:
"Fools in the air your" S ", it will have more cachet,"
I said OK, hell with it in the air.
But in fact there were so many cases
with the cops when the media
have used my real name as they wanted
put an "S" more
between me and the rest of the world.
And quite reached the point where the "S" followed me everywhere.
So now I have two names,
every time I look at my name
and I say "oh, they used this one"
I look at my record and I say
"like they chose the latter.
But it has nothing to do with me
a manager would prefer an "S" in less
and a president prefers the label back.
I mean, it's a little game and they play with.

BEST: You do not suffer from schizophrenia at once?

Keith: Hmm,
Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde,
RICHARD RICHARDS,
yes I think that's it.
I just think it's the "S"
with schizophrenia, not me (laughs).
