RIP Tom

The Rolling Stones song that inspired Television’s Tom Verlaine to pick up a guitar

Tom Taylor
SAT 8TH OCT 2022 20.00 BST

And at the beginning, there is one Rolling Stones anthem that encouraged him to pick up an axe in the first place. As a boy, he was trained as a classical pianist. The guitar seemed a little more vapid to him when it came to rock ‘n’ roll, but the atmospheric ways of Keith Richards would soon change all that. The track that changed his mind was the Stones’ 1966 epic: ‘19th Nervous Breakdown’.

Lynyrd Skynyrd opened for the Stones in 1976 with Gary playing

I found these references here on this message board

by CS

Years later, Ronnie pissed off Mick Jagger when Lynyrd Skynrd opened for the Rolling Stones in 1976.
After smoking pot with Jack Nicholson, according to Gary Rossington, the band was especially loose for their opening slot with the Stones at Knebworth Park in the U.K. At the climax of a rousing set, Ronnie encouraged his guitarists to solo on the stage's extending ramp – in the shape of the Stones' famous tongue logo. "Mick Jagger was mad," says Rossington. "It took their breath away to see how well we went over and how we broke their only rule: don't go out on the tongue."
