Thanks Jacki for your input.

I agree with everything you said. It seems back in the 60’s and 70’s if a band comes up that sounds good, record labels would produce them, and the listening consumers would vote by buying their records if they liked the music.  And if the music was not good, poor sales would exclude that band from being produced any further.  So good music and talent would be rewarded by good record sales.

Nowadays it seems record labels are completely risk adverse, and try to create a genre of music that sells through a kind of brainwashing via advertising and clever marketing, and creating an image of what is supposedly good cool/hip music, and then type cast new bands into a mold, that they believe will be successful.  So the listening public is basically spoon fed what the “experts” believe is good music.  Creativity and inspiration goes out the door, and pretty soon everything sounds the same and predictable, which is the sad state of affairs with modern processed pop music today.

Problem is those fewer bands with real talent and inspired music to offer are lost in a cloud of garbage created by the monopoly which is the modern music industry/record labels.

Got 18 correct.  Recognized many more but just couldn’t recall the name of the songs.

Loved the guitar jamming session by Mona and Lisa on the just posted “Dizzy Miss Lizzy” here at the MLT Club.   Niice guitar riffs there.  This is just what I was thinking about when I posted this thread to see Lisa and Mona’s Gretsch and Rickenbacker smoke.

Howard, I can see why you like the Rolling Stones so much.  I think they wrote some of the most beautiful ballads in rock music history.  My three faves of their absolutely beautiful ballads are “Angie”, “Wild Horses”, and “As Tears Go By”.  From a band that does Satisfaction, Sympathy for the Devil, Honky Tonk Woman, etc to angelic pieces like the 3 ballads I mentioned, just go to show the depth and talent of the Stones.  Truly one of the best Rock bands of all time!

Just saw the trailer Tomas.  That sounds like it will be a pretty interesting and fun movie.  The last part of the trailer is hilarious when the real supposed Beatles say Hey Jude was really Hey Dude. ????

Yes Howard, that talent certainly must run in the family.  There is that english phrase, a “chip off the old block”, but in the case of Mona and Lisa, they are solid golden nuggets, of which Papa Rudi must be incredibly proud.  🙂

Love your detailed answer here Mona.  The years of doing covers and live performances including 2 years at the Cavern and many tours with Steve Harley has certainly enabled you to hone your musical skills into the masters you’ve become.  Your two brilliant original music album output attests to that receiving praise from people in the music industry like John Sebastian, Steve Harley and many others.  Yourself and Lisa are the few true keepers of the Rock and Roll musical faith that started in the 60’s and extend to today.  You understand music as art instead of entertainment with the kind passion the Beatles, Rolling Stones, and others from that era brought forth, and your fans here are so fortunate to have found you.

Wow, can Mick Jagger move, while Watts on the drums look so calm, cool, and collected in contrast.  With all those girls screaming so loud in those TV studio performances I wonder if the Stones or the Beatles ever got a little thrown off tune? ????

I know MLT priority right now would be new original music and their 3rd album, but after that anything is possible for another studio cover I would guess, and they would smash Ruby Tuesday should they decide to do it.

A nice choice there Howard with Dead Flowers.  Great guitar riff there.  I don’t think there would be any guitar piece Lisa would not be able to blow the doors off of.  I was totally impressed by Lisa’s Samba Pa Ti at 13, Hotel California a year later, and then While My Guitar Gently Weeps after that.

I always thought Keith Richard’s was the Stones main guitar man, but Mick Taylor looks pretty awesome there.

 

[Jung Roe]

Yes Mike, Pretty Woman by Roy Orbison would be a nice one with a great guitar riff.  Another one Howard and Daniel mentioned in other threads are Beatles “And Your Bird Can Sing”.

I was listening to the Rolling Stones “Wild Horses” today, and while not a face paced guitar riff in it there is some beautiful guitar work.  It is a beautiful ballad with 2 voices mostly, vocal and guitar in a beautiful conversation with each other.

Just a littler Rickenbacker trivia.

While the Beach Boys were mostly using Fender guitars, lead guitarist Carl Wilson was into Rickenbacker.  He had two Rickenbacker 360/12s he used on stage.

In 2000 Rickenbacker released a Carl Wilson Special Edition guitar, Rickenbacker 360CW and 360/12CW.

Nice one Jacki! Really like the blue sky background.  Looks like an airplane drew the artwork.

[Jung Roe]

I listened to Little Wing and that is indeed a more technically advanced Hendricks piece.  My fave Hendricks are Foxy Lady and Purple Haze, and  I hear a healthy dose of Club 27 in them. ????

Hi Lisa

Thanks for those kind words.  I’m really enjoying all your music and everything you’re doing.  Your music indeed is magic!????

Much love and warmest wishes to yourself, Mona, and your parents.

I couldn’t agree with you more Jacki.  Mona and Lisa would have no problem doing guitar riff justice with anything they decide to do.  It’s just fun to imagine some our faves, what it might sound like if they do it.  🙂
