I don't understand why people feel the need to do these things, and make these announcements. Disappear and come back later if you want to, or not. I don't really care.

it's the age we live in. a narcissistic/ego-inflated world, thanks in large part to twitter/facebook/blogs/messageboards. we think we are bigger than we actually are.

true - i'm only 6-4, but i think i'm 6-5

That's because your head comes to a point.

Btw, where`s Barboon Boo? (used to be one of the regulars)

banned. he's missed here!

i'm glad you pointed that out. i thought it was just bad hair day.

goodbye Craven ,

sc uk

sorry to see you go, Craven -you must have your reasons and i do respect them...but you're one of the good guys, i've always enjoyed your contributions and i'll miss you. take care mate.

I've always wanted to do something like this.

That said, if you knew how close I am to finally completing my review of ABB (and subsequently posting it here for all to enjoy), you would no doubt reconsider this mad flight.

To Sir, With Love. Always enjoyed your posts. Cheers!

Bro is still around under another name.

Watching your heroes aging and fading away is very difficult for some people which is understandable.

Listen man, Fulham should have won. Don't take it so bad. Been a bad week.

Once an IORRer always an IORRer. You'll be back.

Agree, he will be back.

Be well Craven. Be Well. I understand your feelings. We all must move on. I too will not attend ANY concert that seats more than 10,000 people unless I go for free or I am in the first 50 rows.

Same for me.....................Cafaro

Sir Craven of Cottage I think I understand you, hope your doing well.................

I'm personally damned excited about another world tour. Small venues? They'd be great but they would be so packed it would be insane and tickets would sell out to scalpers in a matter of minutes, plus less numbers usually means higher ticket prices. The Stones are just too big to go small. Gotta go solo to play small venues consistently. And what's so bad about a world wide tour? You wanna be the only country to get the show just for the rarity factor. They usually sound better later in the tour, except for Bigger Bang. I just don't get it. I've seen them quite a few times and I still get a huge rush when Keith strikes up JJF. Honestly, they do more variety in their setlists, even in arena shows than most any other performers, except Bob Dylan, The White Stripes, and a few others. I'm talking mainstream acts here. And they still actually play their instruments. Do you know how many bands use backing tracks? It's ridiculous. Even on my band's level (very low), we show up and clubs to set up and the sound crew is shocked that we aren't using backing tracks. So bitch about the stadiums and the big stages and the enormous crowds and the hit songs they play. Mick Taylor is not gonna rejoin. They are not going to perform shows just for a small group of people who complain constantly. They don't want to relive your past. Let them do it how they want and enjoy what you can of it. They're the best in the business. Learn to share.

I just thought it would be rude to leave without saying goodbye. So, goodbye again. Right, that was the last post from me.

Last post may be but still logged one hour ago ....



I am a Frenchie ,as Mick affectionately called them in the Old Grey Whistle Test in 1977 .

It's Sir Craven's decission entirely - just as we can't force anyone to continue playing in the Rolling Stones, we can't force anyone to stay on the message board - or remain members of The European Rolling Stones Fan Club - iorr.org.
But we can - and we will - ask people to treat eachother with respect and to behave well towards eachother. Yes, that is even if you seriously don't think they deserve it.
And some of the posts in this thread disgust me.

Addicted, my post was a ,I didn't mean it in an offensive way .
It's like,you know,I want to quit the Stones but I just can't ....

I am sure you will be back when you miss us and the Stones after a while. Enjoy the rest of the world meanwhile, it is great too!
