Songs are like the arrangement of furniture in a room. Each piece has its place in a room to create an overall effect or sound. Guys like Richards,Townsend, Angus and Forgerty among others are like conductors who have a sound in
their heads that they want implement. When they play you can see them listening to all the parts and how they interplay with each.other. James Brown was said to fine a musician if he came in late on a part. At the last Stones concert I went to the guy* behind me said Jagger cut a verse from Sympathy to pick up 17 seconds that they were behind on. Now tell me if that isn't down to business.
* The 4 guys behind me were all in their mid 60's and were attending every show on the tour at 500 a pop plus travel food and lodging.Also the 4 people next to me were doing the same thing. Real Stone heads.
