Members Demented Avenger Posted January 18, 2006 Members Share Posted January 18, 2006 Excellent version of Under my Thumb. It is a scary film. I haven't seen it in a while, a friend ran off with mine. Supposedly the Dead, and the other bands did not want to announce the Stones were on the bill, because they knew it would get out of hand. The Stones manager "let it slip" because he wanted a ton of people there for the film, which proved to be a dissaster. What about what Tina Turner does to that microphone?

Members outtahear Posted January 18, 2006 Members Share Posted January 18, 2006 Kinda-M+K are @ (filmaker brothers) the Maylses editing bay, and they're showing the stabbing in slo-mo, back and forth. If you liked the movie, there's a guy named Stanley Boothe who traveled w/the Stones before the Altamont gig, while they were recording Let it bleed, ect. Wrote a book (was originally called "Dance w/ the Devil." )since re-named and easily available. Covers a lot of stories @ the bands early days, and '69+'70. Great read for any Stones fan. And when the weather gets warm here (in L.A.) and when you're traveling Sunset, Laurel Canyon, or past CBS studios, it's eeriely easy to imagine it all....

Members clayton explode Posted January 18, 2006 Members Share Posted January 18, 2006 I've seen parts on documentaries, but never the whole thing. I'd buy it on DVD, but it's super expensive, like $50, because it's a Criterion Edition. I have cocksucker blues though on VHS. That's the one thing that sucks about the Stones, no good DVD's of the Mick Taylor days live (aka my favourite stones era), with an honourable mention to the late brian jones era. Yeah there's some stuff on the DVD, but like what seven songs or something right? not much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Saint Todd Posted January 18, 2006 Members Share Posted January 18, 2006 I take it there was bad planning and some bad {censored} went down? Just rent and watch, 'cause it's a must-see rock movie. Along with: Don't Look Back The Last Waltz Sid and Nancy A Hard Day's Night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
