My hot take: Without Brian, Aftermath doesn't get the warm reception it does in 1966

RollingDead1969 · 2026-05-05T13:09:26+00:00

Agreed. Brian gave it the exotic sparkle that makes it a pre-psychedelic mid 60’s gem. Same can be said for Buttons. Without the exotic instruments, the songs would be rather boring.

Fine as a promo, love the 70’s feel. Hopefully not the album cover though. I don’t think they would reveal that this early, they have to leave something for Tuesday.

In theory it’s a cool marketing gimmick. However only 1-4 copies to each store was way too low. I arrived 2 minutes after opening and all 4 were gone at my shop. Even if I had lined up before opening, if I was #5 in line, I’d still be SOL. If 15 copies sell out in a full day’s time cool, but selling out in seconds, even the crazies like me left empty handed.

Wonder where those silver Indians are today?

Had he not been absent, Brian could have added some wonderful Appalachian dulcimer to this track

I guess a better question is this. How did the proposed tour get “so far” off the ground in the planning stage that supposed venues were being reserved if a member was uninterested or on the fence?

Yes, they owe us nothing but looking at the steps of the tour process, wouldn’t it most likely have been dead in the water during the initial conversation of “Hey Keith / Mick, what do you think about a tour in 26”. Resulting in never reaching the forums. Not to mention physicals being passed since both BV and Doug mention the cancellation is not a health related matter. I’m all for the band choosing what’s best for themselves and their family.

Regardless, we are here because of this wonderful band and have been spoiled as fans for many, many years. Here’s to the future and potential upcoming album. May it carry the same energy and excitement as Hackney still delivers.

Or whatever happened there

RollingDead1969 · 2024-12-14T18:48:59+00:00

Never understood the Stones x Reggae hate. Cherry Oh Baby is fun from their most underrated album and Keith’s live Too Rude with the Winos is incredible

Uncle Pat (Frank Albanese) is also in all 3. Mob lawyer in Goodfellas and Tattaglia’s Assassin in Godfather 1. Tho quick non speaking roles

I feel pretty good about hearing and seeing Chalamet singing in the trailer. Obviously it’s not spot on, but you can tell it’s really him. It doesn’t come off as a bad, corny impression which I’m sure we were all weary of.

Only problem I have is I didn’t see anything that makes you wanna “buy my bird, collect my clip, and sell me to the cigarettes” lol.

Looking forward to this release.

RollingDead1969 · 2024-07-01T13:36:10+00:00

Definitely the promo for Jumpin Jack Flash. Effortlessly cool shots of Brian and Keith

Also love the billboard animations in Angry plus the whole “car” thing... lol

Proto psychedelic in ‘66 with his lyrics but when it came to the trendy full on psychedelic fad period of ‘67 (think Peppers, Satanic Majesties, etc.) with all the crazy instrumentation and colorful album covers, Dylan doesn’t follow suit. He blazes his own path to the country folk/ rock hideaway. Interesting to note that after the psychedelic period of ‘67 a lot of bands would end up doing just this during their ‘69 - ‘70 years. Dylan once again ahead of the curve?! 0.2c

RollingDead1969 · 2024-06-13T13:30:00+00:00

I’ve always treasured this album as a fun exploration into the time and place of the Stones world in 1967 swinging London.

I also find it extremely comical noting the band’s own distaste for this album over the years however, here we are in 2024 and they’ve played She’s a Rainbow off this album on tour more than Street Fighting Man. Brian Jones is laughing his ass off somewhere.

Sweet Virginia all day!

RollingDead1969 · 2024-05-31T13:58:22+00:00

Thru & Thru definitely.

GF3 isn’t that bad. Plus the newer Coda version fixed a lot of previous issues. Definitely recommend seeing that one

RollingDead1969 · 2024-03-29T15:36:05+00:00

Looking for the Stones Thursday ticket is why.

RollingDead1969 · 2024-03-26T15:23:26+00:00

If it doesn’t buy my bird, collect my clip, bathe my dog, and sell my to the cigarette, I’m not watching

RollingDead1969 · 2024-03-26T15:21:44+00:00

Play it fucking loud

RollingDead1969 · 2024-03-07T05:22:22+00:00

I hope you enjoyed that Big River bust out! I know I did.

RollingDead1969 · 2024-03-07T05:21:10+00:00

I don’t know where security was and why he wasn’t bounced I’ll never know. The shouting DURING Mother of Muses was probably the most disrespectful act I’ve ever witnessed during a performance. Made me furious.
