Mick Jagger recuerda BB King
"Él tenía una carrera larga tan enorme" , dijo Jagger de la leyenda del blues. "Es triste que no vamos a estar màs escuchando que èl no viva màs"
Los Rolling Stones tomaron un descanso del ensayo para su 15-date Zip Code tour para responder a algunas preguntas de los fans a través de Twitter hoy lunes. En medio de preguntas sobre su pelo y las sesiones de grabación de Sticky Fingers , Mick Jagger y Keith Richards hablaron brevemente sobre el paso de la leyenda del blues BB King.
Tanto Jagger y Richards respondieron por separado preguntas sobre la influencia del Rey y su mejor trabajo. "Yo estaba mirando una foto mía con BB en el backstage en el Madison Square Garden [en 1969]", el cantante recordó. "Él tocó con nosotros en una gran cantidad de conciertos en esa gira. La última vez que tocamos con él en un concierto de blues en la Casa Blanca. Es triste. Tenía un enorme, carrera tan larga. Es triste que no vamos a estar escuchando que él no viva más ".
Un fans también pidió a Jagger para nombrar su canción favorita del Rey. "Tenía tantas grabaciones. Es difícil elegir", dijo antes de señalar que "Live at the Regal" había sido popular entre sus compañeros cuando eran más jóvenes.
Cuando se le pidió un comentario sobre la vida y la música de BB King, Richards llama al guitarrista "uno de los grandes." "BB era un gran tipo. Él fue uno de los verdaderos caballeros, y lo voy a extrañar mucho", dijo. "Por lo menos tenemos sus registros. Adiós, B.B."
Otros puntos destacados incluyen a Charlie Watts discutir su desinterés con los medios sociales, Ron Wood detallando cómo se mantiene el pelo (que corta todos los días) y Jagger nombrar a sus raperos favoritos. "Vybz Collins and I guess Jay-Z,"
Jagger también le dio un vistazo a la reedición de vinilo de Sticky Fingers, que incluye tanto la grabación original y un álbum en vivo con extras, incluyendo una versioin de Eric Clapton de "Brown Sugar". El album incluye una cremallera en la tapa similar a la de vinilo originales.

Mick Jagger Remembers B.B. King, Names Favorite Rapper
"He had such a huge, long career," Jagger said of blues legend. "It's sad we won't be listening to him live anymore"
The Rolling Stones took a break from rehearsing for their 15-date Zip Code tour to answer a few fan questions via Twitter Monday. In between questions about their hair and the Sticky Fingers recording sessions, Mick Jagger and Keith Richards spoke briefly about the passing of blues legend B.B. King.
Both Jagger and Richards responded to separate questions about King's influence and best work. "I was just looking at a picture of me and B.B. backstage at Madison Square Garden [in 1969]," the singer recalled. "He played with us at a lot of gigs on that tour. We last played with him in a blues concert at the White House. It's sad. He had such a huge, long career. It's sad that we won't be listening to him live anymore."
A fan also asked Jagger to name his favorite King song. "He had so many recordings. It's difficult to choose," he said before noting that Live at the Regal had been popular among his peers when they were younger.
When asked for a comment on King's life and music, Richards called the fellow guitarist "one of the greats." "B.B. was a great guy. He was one of the true gentlemen, and I shall miss him a lot," he said. "At least we have his records. Farewell, B.B."
Other highlights included drummer Charlie Watts discussing his disinterest with social media, guitarist Ron Wood detailing how he maintains his hair (he cuts it every day) and Jagger naming his favorite rappers. "Vybz Collins and I guess Jay-Z," Jagger offered (though he meant Vybz Kartel). The singer complimented Jay-Z's "whole body of work" and "great tunes" before noting Kartel's dancehall appeal.
Jagger also gave a sneak peek at the vinyl reissue of Sticky Fingers, which includes both the original recording and a live album with extras, including an Eric Clapton cover of "Brown Sugar." The physical package includes a zipper on the cover similar to the original vinyl.
