To get that gear-grinding sound you need the five-string I think
/\ back in the day I used to be friendly with a guy in Texas who made five-string guitars for Keith, he was always trying to get me into them, but I didn't want to go there ... guy's dead now but he once gave me a regular six-string for helping him out ... I sold it around '95 .....
^ The tuning is detailed in Richard's autobiography. Liz Phair reviewed the book in the NY Times and said something along the lines of "Now I know why when I play 'Jumping Jack Flash' it doesn't sound right."
/\ oh yeah, I do know about open-G banjo tuning with the bass E string removed ... used to occasionally play in various open D tunings but I haven't for a while ....
I also read Keith's book on vacation, when it was new, good beach read, I commandeered my brother's copy and never gave it back, it was decent but too guarded, I felt .....
good old Liz Phair on the other hand was someone we worked with and that deal came up aces ....
I would like to be able to bring it all back home by posting a bit of weird Stones music from the way out here but I'm not a big fan of In Another Land
however this definitely qualifies:
Brian Jones Presents The Pipes Of Pan At Joujouka
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6vUeMqmJG-I
I actually went to see the Master Musicians of Joujouka featuring Bachir Attar at Town Hall in NYC in '96, it was a great show, thanks Brian
If I was going to make a psychedelic freak-out flick I'd use that Joujouka stuff for the swirling camera scene
/\ good call, there's some in the film versions of Naked Lunch and The Sheltering Sky for sure .....
I don't generally care for Best of or Top 100 lists, but this one is way above average...and you can sit with a music streaming service and punch a lot of it up as you make your way through the list
So Isaac Hayes' version of "Walk On By." Hell, I'm sprinting on by that mess.
Parquet Courts better not listen to Can's "Monster Movie." It would be depressing to realize they've been scooped by 50 years.
Lots of jazz and stuff other than rock music in this Best 200 Albums of 1960s. Worth plowing through -- with a notebook.

Not super fucking duper way out but, y'know, weirder than the average and worth highlighting to the gents who like the stuff commented upon in this thread - Future Sound Of London. Anything by them but probably 'Lifeforms' cd single is the least traditional of their releases.
How did the New Colony Six escape worldwide fame in the 1960s? They are at least as cheesy as The Association and rock every bit as hard as Crosby Stills Nash Ralph Geoff and the guy who came to fix the Coke machine.
Check out "Sides" by the New Colony Six.
Unhappily, the disc is only half NC6. The other half is a group that three members joined, the Raymond John Michael Band. This is interesting in its own right, mostly in the form of trying to remember which horrible movie this crap would make a good soundtrack for. For instance, "Let There Be Love" for the dance scene in "Zombie Lake."

Here is my Guitar Freakout Trifecta
Velvets "I Heard Her Call My Name"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EeuvZOEOaGw
Crime "Hot Wire My Heart"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4D-bWMmUNZA
Brian Jonestown Massacre "Not If You Were the Last Dandy on Earth"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ps5uYQ0xmLg
Any one of these is guaranteed to clear the room. Taken in sequence, the experience will reduce sentient beings to deranged drooling fools, staring into drains and ashtrays and muttering "What key is this in" and "Where's the beat?"
Fine choices of guitar stuff chaps, here's a few more....
Spacemen 3 - 'Revolution'
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qdQn7c62zHM
Jesus And Mary Chain - Upside Down
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UnO41-rKUsc
Amon Düül II - Archangel Thunderbird

On a mellower vibe...
Peter Zummo (w/ Arthur Russell) - Song IV

The Breeders take a stab at that Amon Duul thing

nice to see Jo Wiggs struggle a bit with the bass part, but even then it still makes my efforts to play it look very poor.
I love this album. I dig it out every couple of years and spin it for a couple of months, then it disappears back in the stacks.
