Review: The overly long title says it all and I will explain. Last year I bought the book Beatles Gear and read it cover to cover. Something I have not done in a long time. And was blown away the extensive and exhaustive coverage of the instruments they used. It also detailed how they utilized these tools to make their innovative and everlasting mark on the music world. Having finished this amazing book and gaining new knowledge of this legendary group. I felt it was lacking in the later years of the band in terms of coverage. this is understandable due to the fact of the years of 1968 and 1969 being relatively undocumented in the area of their instruments and some aspects of their studio work. I searched up the author on this site and up came this book. Being a fan of the Stones as well I promptly pre-ordered this book on August 30, 2013 with a release date set for the next month on the 29. I couldn't wait for it to be released. Well I had to wait and wait while they kept pushing the release date further and further back. Until it finally ended up being set to be released in the next year. And even that wasn't set in stone. So last month while on a hunt for answers I turned to the internet. There I found an article on Gibson.com about the book titled "Rolling Stones Gear To Be Released Next Month". After reading through the usual banter about the book I came across a release date Feb 4. Next I went to this site to confirm it and it was the same here. Finally some hope for an imminent release. A couple days later I check again only to find "Out Of Stock Will Order More Soon" instead of the usual release date. This had me baffled and wondering what was going on. Noticing the only review and a 5 one star titled "Will It Ever Be Released?" I read it out of the curiosity. All it was detailed was the reviewers frustration with the continual postponement of this book and posed the same question as the title at the end. Hope shattered again. Well yesterday I went to Barnes&Nobel for some new reading material. And while perusing among the various titles in my favorite usual section of the store dealing with music and musicians along with all that deals with that subject. I happened to spot a very large book sitting on the shelf dedicated to The Rolling Stones. Picking it up I noticed the title Rolling Stones Gear: All The Stone's Instruments From Stage To Studio. Finally its out is all I could think. After this initial thought I leafed through it a bit and let me just say the amount of info is stupefying detailing the instruments, studio sessions and their live shows. And the pictures amazing with a full page spread of Charlie Watts 1956-7 Gretsch Round Badge drum set up and another one for Keith Richards famous 1953 Fender Telecaster Micawber just to name two, truly gear porn. That coupled with the shear size of the book which is 672 pages long akin to a volume of an encyclopedia set this one is well worth the wait. Truthfully I am intimidated by this book but still can't wait till I get my copy some time this upcoming week. Lets just say you cant read this in one go and you will be hacking at this one for years. And it clearly surpasses Beatles Gear in everyway but this is understandable due to the authors Andy Babiuk's and Greg Prevost's love of the Stones both being world authorities in the area of all things related to their music. Along with the obvious influence they have imparted on the works of the Andy and Greg's band The Chesterfield Kings. So Rolling Stones fans rejoice the bible on their music both in studio and live as well as the instruments they used to craft it is finally here! Review: C'est le meilleur livre ... ever.

ストーンズの使用楽器の研究本だが、まだバーストが中古ギターとして売られていた時代から現在に至る楽器の流行の変遷の書としても興味深い。現在ではすでに存在しないメーカーやギアも数多く、日本製のリッケンコピーなども登場し、ビザール系に興味のある方にもおすすめ。ただし、ハードカバーの重量ある大型本なので本棚から出すのに腕力が必要。

quite expensive but great value. provides a highly detailed and comprehensive account of the Stones' career and the gear they used, accompanied by great photography.

Per chi ama I Rolling Stones, per chi è musicista ma non solo un libro seminale. L'evoluzione della strumentazione elettrica ed acustica dai lontani anni 60 ad oggi vista attraverso le canzoni degli Stones. Si può ascoltare i brani e leggere le didascalie e il testo ed apprezzare ulteriormente la musica studiando l'evoluzione sonora dai primi e più grezzi suoni (con un mood selvaggio e veramente rock) sino alle più raffinate produzioni di oggi. Come e dove è nato il suono e come è stato plasmato anche attraverso gli strumenti da una delle band seminali. Istruttivo ed imperdibile.
