Exactly! The Stones invented the rhythm/lead guitar combination with Jones/Richards and perfected it when Mick Taylor arrived. They laid the foundation for thrash and death metal. Hetfield/Hammett, Cavalera/Kisser, Peterson/Skolnick, King/Hanneman all used the same rhythm guitarist and soloist setup. Not to mention Beggar Banquet, Let it Bleed, Get Your Ya Yas, Stickey Fingers, Exile on Main St., and It's Only Rock N Roll ... six consecutive masterpieces produced by the hottest band ever. In fact, they were on such a roll, they caused the collapse of a national government. Did I mention I pick the Stones?

![]() Harrison and Lennon used it too, BEFORE Jones and Richards. And severel R&R performers did it before them. Quote:
Even their worst album Let It Be was a generally good effort. As opposed to The Stones. Who haven't made a great album since Some Girls. Which is say what? Only 16 years into their 55 year career? Quote:

Boo Boo honestly tends to hold half his opinions as empirically true fact. I mean, come on. The Beatles? Love, Love me don't.
And he argues with the passion of a napkin dispenser.

The string of albums you mentioned are very respected, but compare the themes explored within them. On the one hand you got "Fixing a Hole", "Ticket to Ride", "Penny Lane", "She's Leaving Home", basically a bunch of sappy, banal, personal stuff, and on the other hand you got "Sympathy for the Devil", "Street Fighting Man", "Bitch" and "Brown Sugar", tough songs digging into the dark side of the human psyche which ushered in the dark era of rock n roll. The Stones were the first princes of Darkness and as you mentioned also paved the way for Sabbath, Zepplin and DP. The Stones and their "dark aura" dominated the 60's and 70's as well as still being influential today. I think it's obvious that in the mythically battle between good vs evil, between light and dark, between the Beatles and the Stones...the Stones have won. But, if I was forced to boil it down to one thing, the Beatles don't have a song as good as "Satisfaction". As far toppling a government, Maggie Trudeau, the first lady of Canada decided to ditch your husbands re-election campaign so she could get banged by Woodie.

Maybe by people who have never listened to Something, or any of his solo material. Harrison was a fantastic soloist, thing is he was a very modest fellow, they didn't call him the quiet Beatle for nothing. He didn't want to ruin great songs with long drawn out solos, which are why his solos are always sweet and to the point. Compare that to Jones' solo on Sympathy for the Devil, which was stretched out too long and was sloppy beyond belief, some may like such an approach to guitar playing but for others it can ruin a good song.

The Beatles wrote a lot of dark tracks for The White Album. And nothing really comes close to the rawness of John Lennons solo records. Quote:

I passionately dispise Modest Mouse to the point that it's downright ridiculous and irritating to everyone on this forum?
Because I mention them on every thread, for no reason. |
