yeah, that one too.
That's it for me too. Its not just the music..although that's the soul of it - its the soap opera, the endlessly fascinating urgency of their life stories. I fell in love with the Stones when I was 13 and it has been a great ride, like a novel that never ends.
The Stones are the biggest band ever because they touch everything.
In the 60s, they were rock and roll, tied to a blues past....the fashion stuff in the 60s, 70s, Jagger's dalliances with so many classes of people in culture - politics, fashion, film, high and low brow society, their fascinating women....the connection with blues and every watershed musical form from the last 50s years...... The Stones whole thing is so wide, vast and huge, only Lennon comes close. They are relevant even when they're not. They just exist on so many levels in our culture and in their time.I feel sorry for people who don't get it.

Yeah, I tend to think of 40 Licks as the representation of all those years of experience peaking in certain respects, and that ABB was a slight decline from that...but who knows what the future holds - youth and experience are always fighting each other (there's always not enough of one or the other in life). I think there is an unrealizable dream/ideal of continual improvement that we all have.

For me, it is far more than just the fantastic music they have provided us with down through the years. More than the fantastic live performances. What really gets my juices flowing is the marvelous "soap opera" Mick and Keith have scripted for us throughout the years. I like the "down time" between tours as much (or more) as I like the actual tours themselves despite the fact that I have been getting a little (actually more than a little) impatient lately for a new tour and album. They have an amazing knack for keeping themselves in the news. I also enjoy each of them as individuals. Very different, but each one a character in their own right. Always interesting, sometimes fascinating, and most often entertaining.
Just what exactly is "The Rolling Stones Experience" to you? Is it just about the music and great live performances or is it much more?

It's when all those elements of the Stones at their best come together to create a sound that's greater than the sum of it's parts; it takes my head to a whole other place. It's the sound of FREEDOM & ABANDON! Like in the best live versions, the end section of Jumping Jack Flash - those magnificant descending Keith chords crashing against Charlie's backbeat. It's a feeling I never get tired of. And that doesn't even begin to fully describe it...

It's really about the music, and pushing aside all the B.S. to get to the core. That core is one mysterious blonde genius hooked on the blues meeting up with one brunette chuck berry fanatic. The blonde plays the brunette some Robert Johnson and bam, the true Big Bang. The vortex created by this marriage of blues and rock sucked in the tightest rhythm section on the planet. And the buckle on the belt was a pop oriented alien with strange, uncommmon ugly/beautiful lips. How all these elements came together in London of all places and how the result was totally credible and addictive is the entire story.
The busts, the deaths, the sex scandals, the insufferably petty sniping, these are all side shows outside the tent of what matters, the music.

I guess it's about a a lot of things. The music first and foremost, but the thing that sticks out most to me, and one of my fondest memories is being 16 at the Stones show at Texas Motor Speedway '97. My friend and I were 16, and we had some old hippie looking dude to our left, and a middle-aged business man (he was wearing a suit and looked like he came straight from the office) to our right, and we were all singing along and smoking pot together. The four of us couldn't have been any more different, a 60-70 year old hippie, a 40 something year old yuppie, and 2 high school kids, but we were all brought together by one thing and enjoying it together and passing along joints.

It's a lifestyle (to coin a phrase 
) based on Exile On Main Street. It's at times frantic and chaotic, at times country-mellow, at times salvation and at times just plain fun!
For me, this 'addiction' began in 1964 and continues to this day. It's the soundtrack of my life.
It's happy....

i remember my first couple of shows (99) as being, simply put, unbelievable!
i first got into the stones only a couple of years prior and bought the Bridges DVD and thought this is the coolest thing i've ever seen. plus the intro video to the no security tour with keith licking out jumping jack flash was pretty awesome.
next up was the 2002 licks shows - i was fortunate enough and caught in one month 4 shows: staples center, anaheim stadium, the wiltern, and mgm grand. again, great feeling, great sets, incredible energy from the band & crowds. vegas is a really fun place to see a stones show!
final tour - bigger bang - while it was fun, the whole experience was little less than the two preceding. i caught a few different shows, all from different legs of the tour and it just felt a lack of creativity from the band, the production, the set list. highlights from the tour: hollywood bowl was pretty cool and a little different format. vegas shows always rock. and the dodger stadium show was memorable b/c it is to this point, my last stones show, and they played under my thumb, which i've never heard live and probably don't need to hear live again. but good friends at the show. fun after party at the downtown standard.
i will love to see them once again if they do a set of shows regardless of the show's format and pre slotted set. one more for old time sake. cheers.

Yeah, I tend to think of 40 Licks as the representation of all those years of experience peaking in certain respects, and that ABB was a slight decline from that...but who knows what the future holds - youth and experience are always fighting each other (there's always not enough of one or the other in life). I think there is an unrealizable dream/ideal of continual improvement that we all have.

"Heavy rock" on the surface, but if you look closer a weird amalgamation of: 1)Heavy rock/Effete harpsichords/Gritty blues/Precious falsetto singing; 2)Skull rings/Knighthoods; 3)Macho womanizing/"Just a fag in L.A."
A lot of contradictory stuff pushed together, which I like about the Stones.

An honest answer now, to a serious question...
I was lucky enough to have been able to participate in 1960s culture, which was truly a high point in the last century as far as optimism, change, expansion, and the flowering of all the arts went. The RS were my chosen band, although there were many, many other great bands around, many of whom I saw perform. So they provided the soundtrack to my young life in those exciting times.
Although I enjoy and listen to their studio work right through to Bridges to Babylon (excepting Undercover and Dirty Work), and all of Mick and Keith's solo work, the Golden Era material is like a window to the carefree past for me, and that is what I experience.
I also have a significant secondary interest in their lives and history, and the way their music is related to the events in their lives. The glamour they portrayed from '67 til they left Nellcôte had a huge impact on me. I think that moving away from England to America in the 70s was a big step downward for them, artistically. Although I love all of their work from Steel Wheels through to B to B, their personal lives and history from that era hold little interest for me, and post 1997, almost none at all, although I am glad that Mick seems to have found happiness and stability with L'Wren.
