Just watched 'Start Me Up - Live from Shanghai Grand Stage' via RollingStones.com.

My, how the mighty have fallen.

What in the hell Ron Wood is doing?

His playing is just pathetic.

Vegas act indeed!

remember the boot title to the 10/14/81 Seattle show: "something is wrong with my guitar." let's blame the axe, I say!

After having just watched the video I have to agree with my esteemed colleague mcparty. Ron's solo was not a pristine example of the guitar players art. And Todd, it's a poor craftsman that blames his tools!

hey - delegation of blame is what I do for a living....just trying to impart my years of wisdom....

Too much Peking Duck with Plum Sauce and a side of shrimp and tofu eggrolls can really clog up the exhaust pipe - get's your thought process all wacked out.....

funny, i thought it was the booze that had done that.

Time zone changes....

Hur-ry, Hur-ry, Hur-ry........ Step right up and see the last and only remaining Dinosaur before its extinct ! ! ! Hur-ry, Hur-ry, Hur-ry....... Step right up !

c'mon back to Vegas boys...love that kinda vacation!

Get the h*ll out of here, this is a Stones FAN site, dude.
Whats the constructive with saying someones playing is pathethic.
Go listen to ABBA or Toto or whatever!

Drives ya nuts don't it! Same old drone day after day...... go to 'guitar players are us' or something and vent your frustration over there! I want to read constructive and informative threads about the band!!!

You tell 'em Bro.....

Of course there may be serious issues to discuss;
are they losin' quality? Energy? Creativity?
But please make it a fair discussion...
I think 99% of thew whinin' dudes are just
sh*t scared for their own ageing,
therefore they put focus on someone like Ronnie.

Instead of destructive complaining: Go check my postin in one minute over at Trade instead...

This lot baffles me..... this years gotta be one of the most exciting years in recent Stones history and all ya hear is bleating!

At least Baboon and JKF hang in there!!

Dont forget yerself, good Ablett, Regent of Grey British Thunderclouds
(but here the Opener Of Marquis de Sunshine!) :0)
All hail the English Spring-Sun!!!

true- it is exciting. I can't wait for Barcelona and look forward to a beer with some of the good people of IORR.

however i'm no sycophant with rose-tinted spectacles- if there are grievances/concerns/annoyances, i'm happy to air/debate/discuss them.
That's what forums are for.

It is in deed o n e of the aims with forums; to debate.
But sure not for calling members of the groups we're fans of "pathetic".
Its just plain harassing.

agreed- but i've read alot worse on here.
perhaps you should take it up with BV (via e-mail)

No we'd better fight eye to eye, chest to chest with the sad bunch,
wont we?

Go get em Baboon!!! With you all the way......


I'll hold ya Gasper stick whilst ya do em......

(oh no! The Spanish Inqusition!)

The guitar playing was utterly pathetic.

I could get a better sound out of a tennis racquet.

But you're right about one thing ablett. It is an exciting year. We've got Springsteen, The Who, Dylan, Morrissey, Waters, Clapton etc...

Piss of to there boards then? And prey tell what the hells exciting about Clapton????

...now, now- play nicely

Firtstly, I suggest you keep a civil tongue and stick to the debate.

Now go and count up to ten (which should be about your limit).

Lets pretend it's rainin', Ablett.
Logie will be next Stones lead guitarist;
and soon he will be a part of the Nanker-Phelge-song writing team.
we'll just have to cope with it...
(Logie you wont recognize Feelin' even if it junped down & bit ya on the nose!)

I'm sure the next Waters/Clapton classic will keep em of me back for a while...

A prey tell what the debate is? Ronnies crap? LOGIES view not mine! Repeatedly!

And if you find Springsteen, The Who, Dylan, Morrissey, Waters, Clapton etc... far more exciting than the Stones then what you doing here? It aint rocket science??

Well for starters, I'd only have to learn about 25 songs!

As for the Stones song-writing, when did Ronnie ever have anything to do with that?
