Contradictory Stories Within Bands?

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

I tend to notice stories slowly changing after going on a site like newspapers.com and work chronologically to see how they shift a story where they were the main character.
Jagger and Ronnie Wood insist that “Miss You” wasn’t conceived as a disco
 song, while Richards said, “‘Miss You’ was a damn good disco record; it
 was calculated to be one.” In any case, what was going on in discotheques did make it to the recording. Charlie Watts
 said, “A lot of those songs like ‘Miss You’ on ‘Some Girls’ … were 
heavily influenced by going to the discos. You can hear it in a lot of 
those four-to-the-floor and the Philadelphia-style drumming.”

	I've found the best source of band info & history is often album notes: they tend to be written with hindsight, by people who were there, and with the benefit of direct access to the band.

	I try to rely on audio/video quotes while they were all alive and fresh, as opposed to retrospective history 50+ years later.
