A propos de "Can't You Hear Me Knocking"
Pour savoir comment est né ce petit bijou musical, voici des propos de Taylor:
Can't You Hear Me Knocking... is one of my favorites... (The jam at the end) just happened by accident; that was never planned. Towards the end of the song I just felt like carrying on playing. Everybody was putting their instruments down, but the tape was still rolling and it sounded good, so everybody quickly picked up their instruments again and carried on playing. It just happened, and it was a one-take thing. A lot of people seem to really like that part.

Keit Richard accusera Mick Taylor d'avoir détruit le concept des stones ...
"Mick is such a LEAD guitarist, which completely destroyed the whole concept of the Stones, that is, the idea that you don't walk into a guitar store and ask for a lead guitar or a rhythm guitar. You PLAY a fuckin' GUITAR. You are a GUITAR player."
- Keith Richards, 1976
Nous , on goûte toujours au plaisir d'écouter cette merveilleuse guitare.
Le déclin des Stones , c'est avant tout le déclin du tandem Jagger/richard et l'arrivée de Ron wood.
