The only Stones record I have is the 45 of I Can't Get No Satisfaction! I never saw the appeal for them.
I think I read somewhere else that you liked Tom Jones. Maybe you like "pretty looking" guys. The smooth guys.
Tom Jones was handsome and sexy, not "pretty." But yeah, I like Paul (and I always thought John was sexy prior to 196 I didn't think any of the Stones were good-looking.
I guess that Mike Love is out of the question?
I never thought much about him until I met him! My (male) cousins were the big Beach Boys fans! I always liked their music though.
Ha-ha, Mike Love, he is famously known as the most unsympathetic character in modern pop history. The band member where legend has it that he worked against "Pet Sounds" to happen. And "Smile". It was not commercial enough... How is he to meet?
Forgive me for saying this but Mike Love is an a*shole!!! I know, I met him in 1981, the same year I met Dennis Wilson. When I met Mike Love at a party, we got into a fight!!!
Sorry that happened to you. It was Dennis who was the a-hole in 1978 when I met him! Carl, Al and Bruce were real nice guys too. I saw Mike again in 2005 and he was very nice to me.
That surprises me, Denny always treated women good in the beginning!!! Denny was always nice to me the day I met him. The only time Denny and I nearly got into it was when Karen Lamm was flirting with me and was pushing Denny's buttons!!! Despite Denny not being with Karen Lamm anymore, Denny still got jealous!! I have a lot of Denny stories to tell!!!

I can imagine Mike Love trying to impress the ladies with success and money. Rumour has it that he is hell to work with, at least if you think outside the box. Must have been fun to meet these guys. At a party... They were members of a mythical band.
I met them at their hotel after their concert in Atlanta in Sept. 1978. Spent some time with them in the restaurant (The Sundial Room) that revolves around the top of the Peachtree Plaza Hotel. Brian was not there. Next day had lunch with Mike.

I met the Beach Boys at the airport in Phoenix in 2012, they were on the same plane from Albuquerque, where they had performed the night before. They were very cool, and Brian Wilson was right next to me. No autographs or hand shakes, but he was cool! I was in awe.

Dennis definitely was the coolest Beach Boy & was the most talented Beach Boy (next to Brian). His solo work from the 70s, and the songs he contributed to the Beach Boys albums, proves my point. Too bad he didnt get the support he needed to develop his talent further (it seems most of the band was totally messed up in the 60s/70s). He definitely could party..was just reading some of the comments from Christine McVie when they were dating in the late 70s. Not to mention what he lived through with the Manson family. He deserves his own biopic

I knew Denny from 1981 till the day he died in December 1983. When I first met him, I would get a quick glimpse of the muscular, good looking trim guy!!! After that, I witnessed him rot away before my very eyes!!! I truly believe that I partied more with Denny in two years more than I have ever done in my whole life up to now!!! I became very good friends with Christine McVie as well as all of the members of Fleetwood Mac, I even partied with them!! As for Manson, I would hear Denny speak of how much he regrets ever meeting Manson. I briefly met Manson while I was visiting a friend (Security Guard) at Vacaville Prison in Vacaville, California in 1985, this is something that I do not want to talk about on the forum.

The crazy Manson. I've heard some of his songs and it's not so bad actually. There is a line to The Beatles because of "Helter Skelter" and "Piggies". I remember I thought it was so scary when I was a kid and read about it. In July 2011, there was a Norwegian mass murderer who went bananas on an island fifteen minutes from where I grew up and lived until 2013. He blasted first a bomb in Oslo and went to the island, killing a total of 77 people. I will hear those helicopters going over the house for the rest of my life. I never thought it was possible to experience something like this where I grew up, it was things that happened elsewhere, but I was wrong. Times change.

So guys...Keith Richards trashes Sgt Pepper, eh?
-
Yeah, I guess Richards made his Sgt. Pepper with "Exile on Main Street".

Happy was his A Day In The Life...

Well said moptops and Hendrix Ibsen!!!!
-
Keith was trying to get people to talk about his new album, not about the Beach Boys. He should talk about all of the board members he partied with. If only he could remember.

I guess that was our way of showing that we weren't mad at Keith by mentioning The Beach Boys!!! Keith probably doesn't even remember the 1970's!!!!

Well, he-he. But I wonder if he thinks that this kind of studio produced pop-art is just rubbish. It's what I read in his comment. He calls "Their Satanic Majesties Request" rubbish also but for those who are into this kind of psychedelic music is it the best Stones album ever. In his autobiography he also calls David Bowie rubbish. I can't really imagine Keith Richards sit and listen to "Sgt. Pepper" and "Low" completely lost in the music. It doens't fit his persona, but he loves AC/DC and Motorhead, and hey, Mozart!

He remember! Read "Life". His autobiography from 2010. It's well worth it.

Keith has said he has no time for downloads, etc... He like RECORDS played on record players and music filling the space through speakers. He got THAT right!

Well, I don't think he should follow anyone, if so, only musicians he look up to and feel that he can learn something from. Fans and music journalists, stay away from them!

Keith Richard's sounds very different in this out take from his book: Keith Richards talks about Paul McCartney in his autobiography I was packing to go back on the road, to play first the Super Bowl in February and then one of the biggest rock-and-roll concerts ever staged, in Rio, to more than a million people, two weeks later. A busy start to the year. Exactly a year earlier, while I was walking along the beach, climbing rocks, along the shore came Paul McCartney, just before he played the Super Bowl that year. It was certainly the strangest place for us to meet after all the years, but certainly the best, because we both had time to talk, maybe for the first time since those earliest days when they were flogging songs before we were writing them. He just turned up, said he'd found out where I lived from my neighbor Bruce Willis. He said, "Oh, I just came down, I hope it's OK. Sorry I didn't ring." And since I don't answer the phone anyway, it was the only way he could do it. I sensed with Paul that he really was looking for some time off. That beach is long, and of course these things come in hindsight: there was something wrong there already. His breakup with Heather Mills, who was with him on that trip, was not long coming. Paul started to turn up every day, when his kid was sleeping. I'd never known Paul that well. John and I knew each other quite well, and George and Ringo, but Paul and I had never spent much time together. We were really pleased to see each other. We fell straight in, talking about the past, talking about songwriting. We talked about such strangely simple things as the difference between the Beatles and the Stones and that the Beatles were a vocal band because they could all sing the lead vocal, and we were more of a musicians' band - we only had one front man. He told me that because he was left-handed, he and John could play the guitars like mirrors opposite each other, watching each other's hands. So we started playing like that. We even started composing a song together, a McCartney/Richards number whose lyrics were pinned on the wall for many weeks. I dared him to play "Please Please Me" at the Super Bowl, but he said they needed weeks of warning. I remembered his hilarious takeoff of Roy Orbison singing it, so we started singing that. We got into discussions about inflatable dog kennels designed like the dogs inside them - spotted ones for Dalmatians and so on. Then we went off on one about a special project we were going to develop, sun-dried celebrity turds, purified with rainwater - get celebrities to donate them, coat them with shellac and get a major artist to decorate them. Elton would do it; he's a great guy. George Michael, he'll go for it. What about Madonna? So we just had a good laugh. We had a good time together. (c) Keith Richards, Life, pages 537-538

Ha ha!!! I have NO idea!! I grabbed this off the maccareport.

The ironic thing is that it says, "Rolling Stones Good Guys" on the Sgt. Pepper Album Cover. Keith has a way of putting on his Goat Head now and then and making a fool of himself.
