August 14, 2022 – Who turns down the Rolling Stones? Roy Buchanan that’s who. The guitarist was called, “The Fender Telecaster Master,” by Guitar Magazine. He wore his guitar high on the strap and loved to challenge himself by making his guitar sound like other musical instruments. As for the Stones? They had heard of Buchanan’s skills but the bands high rollin’ lifestyle scared the guitarist. Suffering with his own demons he didn’t want to end up with late/great Stones guitarist, Brian Jones, who was found dead in a swimming pool.
Today also marks the first time drummer Neil Peart played on stage with Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson of Rush. He had replaced John Rutsey who appeared on the groups first album but had left over a difference in musical direction. Check out the video. – by John Beaudin
