Weirdest thing. Back end of the 70's I'm in this nightclub and the DJ sticks Rat Trap on. You'd think it would have cleared the floor, not a bit of it. Everyone keeps dancing. Every time they hit the dead stops everyone freezes in time, then starts dancing again. Come the fast bit before the fade they all wig out out, jumping up and down and then the DJ plays Disco Inferno and everyone carries on dancing normally. Weird.

Sure, they've had loads of guest guitarists who walk onstage, give it some stuff and then trot off again but I've never heard of back-up guitarists. Is it my imagination or did one of the Womacks back the Stones on a studio release? And was it guitar or keys or something?

Among a number of (usually uncredited) guitarists who have backed the Stones in the studio are Jimmy Page, Ry Cooder, Dave Mason, Eric Clapton, Wayne Perkins and Harvey Mandel (the latter two while auditioning to replace Mick Taylor). Edit: Clapton's efforts were not officially released but I think one of them appeared on a bootleg of out-takes. Also, Rory Gallagher was invited to join the audition sessions on which Perkins and Mandel played but walked out after Keith left him waiting around in a hotel for a day or two. Probably just as well, really.

Very much this ↑ Jordan and Richards go back a long way. When Richards embarked on his first solo album Talk Is Cheap in 1987 he hired Steve Jordan as drummer, co-producer and co-songwriter. Anyone who might listen to that album will come away thinking that Jordan's approach to the project was basically a Charlie Watts feel with added seasoning. So, no-brainer really.

Me neither. Makes the place look like a Cash Converters.

Nice work, Ped. This thumbnails thing is dead handy

Welcome to the forum. Heres a YT vid about electrifying a washtub bass. Basically, don't attach a disc piezo to the body of the washtub; stick an guitar undersaddle piezo to the bolt.

You put that argument so well, my dear Pseudonym. Your acuity reminds me of my mentor Prof. A J P Taylor at his intellectual peak. (Like given)

Hi Gazza and to the forum.

Bug report posted elsewhere by Loz

Or am I?

Aargh! I'm now trapped in the 2.1 theme which means I can't see the price of stuff in the marketplace. Good spot, @fleabag

Agreed. Easier to read, IMO.

... and result!

Out of TLRT's and the 'TLRT meter' image won't work. I am at my wits' end. Someone pass the smelling salts.

Good spot. That's already happened to me. Repeated jabs at the save button when quoting someone else = multiple posts = necessity to edit and delete content = profound embarrassment = withdrawal from public life.

I'm in the same posish as you, Douglas, whereby 'enter' provokes a single line feed. Like you i would prefer it to be double. We are, as you might but probably wouldn't say, dans le meme bateau. It's not a deal breaker but it would be nice and might also clear up some of now un-paragraphed historic posts. Either way, I'm grateful to @ped and his little helpers for the time and effort they expend on keeping this forum as jolly and as useful as a forum could be.

I must confess to a certain uneasiness about status rankings, badges (insert Blazing Saddles ref here) and other such community pats on the head. Didn't we have a protracted debate one time about the wisdom of introducing reactions (Like, sad etc). Did we not murmur about division and ascendancy? I rather think we did. Oh and this tiresome paragraph break double return thing has to go. Please may we return to the single 'enter' hit for a paragraph break? Pretty please with a big pink cherry on top?

@Happy Jack spells it out:

In a rehearsal session it's important to give one's band members a choice when it comes to interpretation. "Play it the way I said or I'll kill you where you stand. Your choice'.

Hi 2cooltoolz and to the forum.

It is reassuring to discover that I am not the only person in the world to cordially dislike the song 'Dignity'. And I'll sail her up the west coast Through villages and towns I'll flip the dinghy over And then I'll f___ing drown
