    Simple enough answer. No magic, no crazy artist lingo.

    Sent from my chromed robot turd, using the miserable junk code known as crapatalk.

          Just looked it up and apparently Johnny Depp used him as a major inspiration for the Jack Sparrow character. Pretty obvious! Haha!

            He so doesn't give a ****. Just give me the guitar and I'll play it. I love Keef.

            Bar patron thinking - Wonder if these guys know "Free bird"?

              Keith and Brian Jones taught me how to play the guitar.

              Used to slow down Rolling Stones albums from 33 RPM to 16 1/2 RPM to learn their licks.

              Everything came out an octave lower, but that's the way a lot of us did it in the 1960's.

              Bruce Springsteen has said the same thing.

                He plays Jack Sparrows father in the pirates series.
                There's nothing less metal than trying to act metal.
