RE: Rock history/FB/STH

Some of their greatest lyrics were totally lifted from others, they just weren't ever sued, they were lucky.

Take "Wild horses couldn't drag me away", or "You can't always get what you want", or even "When I die I'll go to Heaven since I spent my time in Hell".... all were all old sayings but never copyrighted until Jagger and Richards used them and claimed them, yet they didn't write those lyrics at all.

Interesting! I never knew that about them "lifting" lyrics from other sources. But how can you copyright an old saying? I think the line is somewhat blurred here and the case for plagiarism is pretty weak. Probably too weak to argue in court even if it was possible to take such a case to court (which I don't think it is).

I guess it's still happening today with some fans, claiming Keith is playing guitar on some '60s songs where it's not Keith but Brian playing. That will never change I guess.

I've seen that too! I remember a guy saying (also on an overseas board, probably the same one) that most of the guitar on the first album was played by Keith. This was so ludicrous that he should have been laughed off the board, yet some people backed him up, without a shred of evidence, mind you. They just "knew"!

I also remember reading an album review several years ago on a certain "river" site which is not viewed in a good light here at Gasland, in which the purchaser/reviewer gave Keith high praise for his beautiful slide on "Little Red Rooster".

Sometimes, it's better to simply laugh it offf...
