Bare bones is all you need – Rolling Stones “Satisfaction”
10. maj 2011
“I had no idea I’d written it, it’s only thank God for the little Phillips cassette player. The miracle being that I looked at the cassette player that morning and I knew I’d put a brand-new tape in the previous night, and I saw it was at the end. Then I pushed rewind and there was ‘Satisfaction’. It was just a rough idea. There was just the bare bones of the song, and it did’nt have that noise, of course, because I was on acoustic. An forty minutes of me snoring. But bare bones is all you need. I had that cassette for at while and I wish I’d kept it.”
Keith Richard Life
I følge Rolling Stone var det i denne uge i 1965, Rolling Stones fik udsendt “(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction” i USA. Den blev gruppens første nr. 1 hit derovre, til trods for, at mange radiostationer ikke ville spille sangen, der ikke harmonerede med de amerikanske moralbegreber.

Hvis nogen sad inde med det kassettebÃ¥nd, skulle man næsten give ham det tilbage. Slightly off topic: er det dine EP’er med de smukke gamle covers? Hvem husker ikke lyden af ffrr? :)

@Gowings: Nej, de gamle covers er med enkelte undtagelser ikke mine. Desværre, for jeg holder umÃ¥deligt meget af disse gamle papiromslag uden billeder og andet støj…
