: : Keith isn't a lead player? What about Sympathy? Or Satisfaction? Or Rambler?
: I'll give ya Sympathy, bro. That's one where I truly believe Keith is indeed God.
Praise the lord indeed.
: As for Satisfaction... nice riff, but that's all it is. Three notes over and over again. I can play that (in fact, I already do).
It may not be a hard one to play but it was absolutely the first of it's kind in 1965. Nobody had played a lead like until Keith did it. Totally changed the direction of music. While they eclipsed it many times, it was still one of the greatest moments in rock and roll history. I guess it is more the creating of the riff than actually playing it.
Rambler is more Richards/Taylor weaving than Keith lead. It still kicks ass, though.
ok, you are probably right here.
: Damn, is it just me, or have I made more enemies on this board by stating my opinions this week than Robert Byrd ever did in his entire tenure at the board? (Not to bash Mr. Byrd or anything; he was kinda cool, actually)
hey, don't worry about it too much. You like the Stones, that's all that matters.
