-The official Steel Wheels tour kicked off later that month at the now demolished Veterans Stadium in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.





-During the show in Pennsylvania, the power went out when the band was performing "Shattered" and caused a delay in the show. Jagger started talking to the people in the audience during the delay

-In the 1970s, he had a project for recording with The Flying Burrito Brothers, but it stopped. In the 1980s, he helped on 2 of The Rolling Stones albums, specifically Dirty Work(1986) and Steel Wheels(1989)

-Chris and partner Pat Townshend created a guitar company in the mid 1980s. Chris designed a magnesium alloy guitar called The Staccato. The guitar featured a bridge and neck system that could be switched out. The user could switch between a bass neck for 6 string neck.









-A prototype bass was built in Norfolk England in 1983 and a business was started. The partners included Pat Townshend, Bill Wyman, Chris and Mick Jagger. This comapny went under in 1987. During KISS' Crazy Nights tour, Gene Simmons can be seen playing a Staccato guitar.

Aerosmith: Boston-based Hard Rock

Ever notice that Steven Tyler and Joe Perry, who are the lead singer and lead guitarist for Aerosmith are like the American versions of British-born lead singer Mick Jagger and Keith Richards of The Rolling Stones? Steven Tyler and Joe Perry are the major hotties in Aerosmith in my opinion!!!
