Would you keep coming here to read and talk about the band when it officially no longer exists? That means: would you keep on interacting here, the history of the band being the only 'main topic'? No more tours, no new albums, perhaps only some (studio and live) releases from the vaults, even that being unsure?

Yes,I think so,but what about you ?

I'm afraid I've bad news for you, 'cause I would like to stay here too. About the same answer as Rolling Hansie.

That ain´t bad news...a little argument here and there...all in all not that bad.
But most of all I like your teach-ins...that´s entertainment !

Elvis is dead and one still keep on talkin' about him!
Same for the Rolling STONES

Are they still active?

An earlier post said that for them the band ended in 1974. I have a friend who said they ended when Brian was gone. I feel their albums ended for me when Bill left. But on stage, they are still magnificient. Those road years have only honed the knife edge. I've been reading that they're a 'parody of themselves' by long forgotten rock scribes since 1969! They are the real deal. There's a reason Solomon Burke tried to give Mick Jagger his crown. I feel sorry for those that have moved on. 'Back of My Hand' at the Hollywood Bowl 2005 was eerily good. 'Paint It Black' at Dodger Stadium 2006 was transcendent. Oh well, less competition for good seats.

Definitely!

For a band that has kept it going for so long, there are always new stuff to be released, new boots to find, new knowledge to suck up.

Some pieps live on that planet already.

If you drop off this board because the band have ended you are fickle and shouldn't be here in the first place.

Most of us are luckly to have had the band around for all or most of our lives and we'll still kick back and enjoy discussing them. New things will always appear, after all people still talk about Buddy Holly (6CD box recently) and 30s blues guys.

For me it wouldn't change things radically because as far as my posts go, I already live in the past... and actually despite their massive tours I haven't considered The Stones any breathing, "real" band for a long time. It looks I am reading an endless-sounding last chapter, "coda" or "afterwords" of the story. Yeah, it is nostalgic and entertaining see a show here and then - and meet fellow fans - but I don't know, the excitement has left the building a long ago... More like a finale event to celebrate the real deal that happened god knows when, so much great memories and all. A nostalgy act. I think that even for very young fans (yeah, it is relative - partly I am too...), what The Stones represent is like a school lesson: "You know, great rock and roll sounded like this a long ago" (well, it actually sounded much much better but how they know?)

Yes, I'd log in every once in a while, but much less often than I do now.

yes, but not nearly as much

Why not? There's plenty of stuff to discuss. With the amount of material and the thousands of concerts performed, there will always been a unique prospective by us the friends and fans of the band.

A world without the ROCKING Stones!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!? Dutch guy says NEVER!

The Jag and Co. LIVE FOREVER (at least on message board).

Dutch guy says non-rocking idiot-band Coldplay (and their like) will be quickly forgotten because their music is VERY BAD ROCKING (not rock but painful noise) - unlike real music STONES ROCK!!!!

yes, absolutely, without question.....

Mick's rock, I'm roll.

I'm 46 now, maybe get to retire when I'm about 65, so there'll be probably something like 15 years at least of work after the Stones are gone. That's a lot of time to kill on the internet, so &¤&¤% yeah I'd still be an active IORR-user.

Of course ,you can't change history , they have been part of my history since 1963.
I still find out things about them to this day and hear songs recorded many a year ago and stop and think Wow .

well "news" are not the main thing we read here, dont we? ;-)
we got almost 50 years of bandhistory to talk. millions of memories, question about tracks, guitars, blablbala....neverending. and thats why i'm here.
i'm not waiting on a new tour or a new album. for me the rolling stones are the greates band of all times, a love of my live, but as a activ band, for me, they dont exist anymore for quite a while...

Wouldn't be the same without you, Kleermaker! So do stick around...
And good point by Rolling Hansie, indeed- I second that (too).

Sure !!!!



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

You mean we should've stopped in 1982?

Of course. The Stones are a 60's act who've just stuck around a little longer than many of their contemporaries. They haven't been relevant - in terms of producing and releasing brilliant 'new' music - in a long, long, time. The Stones are a beautiful and brilliant nostalgia-fest and when it's all over, perhaps we'll all be able to embrace their glorious past that little bit more - after one more tour, that is!

Sure, as long as there is still something worth discussing.

Or, if the number of active Mick Taylor threads drops below five.



I kid, I kid...

No i wouldn't. My interrest in the Stones is what they still can do to cause a musical eartquake. I'm not one of the synical ones i have high hopes, but it will need some, let us say, sacrifice.
