A theatre? You're flattering yourself, more a bus. Do you really think that you represent those thousands of people that come to a Rolling Stones show? I don't think so, like i said before on other occassions, most people coming to a Stones show have no idea who is who or played what when, and don\t give a damn either. They just want a good show and be entertained. Maniacs that where standing yesterday at the Barcelona gig in the front row and tonight again on the same spot near the stage in Stockholm are indeed a concern but for other reasons than you may think. I mean it is scary.

Just in case we misunderstand each other. I didn't mean that the majority of people coming to a Stones show just want a good show, in a negative way at all. I think it is a very good and healthy thing to just want to experience a great night without having to know the personal or detailed ins and outs of the medium delivering that show. I only said this to illustrate that what goes on on this site is of no consequence in the bigger picture (the majority of people coming to a show).

I hear this from some people all of the time. They say they don't get the wibe anymore. Yet I meet them at shows on tours over and over again. May be they are bored, but they still pay for the ticket, they say they won't go but they do still go. But 99 out of 100 I know are looking forward to more Stones, and they will have a great time when they get on the road eventually.

They know that some people are never happy with anything, but they do also know for a fact that millions will show up next time they tour, just like they did during A Bigger Bang.

Do you honestly believe they give 2 craps about what people say on this or any other Stones chat room?

It's the epitome of fan delusion brought on by armchair entitlement issues.

>>>They know that some people are never happy with anything

You mean some people take exception to paying hundreds of dollars per ticket to see performers that are too drunk, too stoned or unable to play?

Yes, I guess there's just no pleasing some people.

Common sense,,,the more negative comments that are made by fans on sites like IORR, Shidoobee & RollingStones.com. The less likely there will ever be a tour again. You think these negative comments are not being monitored?...your mistaken.

That might have been the case in the past.

But things have moved on. It's fair to say that the latter stages of the ABB tour saw the Stone heavily reliant on back up musicians. This is a one way street - they are in decline so they are going to be more and more reliant on Blondie etc. So whilst they are in decline their appetite for cash and the prices they charge will be going in the opposite direction.

Since the 2007 O2 shows we have experienced the economic downturn. Life isn't so easy and people have to make tough decisions. Many people will decide not to bother with a very expensive ticket to a show which will be a re-heat of whhat they saw in 2002, 2003, 2005-2007. They are not going to get anything new for their money, the formula will remain the same.

That's why myself and many others will look at this and say thanks but no.

I still love the band but I genuinely feel they will damage their legacy by touring again. For that reason I hope they don't.
