Wondering: does anyone know what the difference is between Chevy Metal and Foo Fighters?

Why is it impossible for some of us not to enjoy a kick ass performance by Mick without having to bring drama into the mix and turning it into a war between Mick and Keith by mentioning Life and other nonsense? Let's just chill the @#$%& out, enough with the super analyzing and enjoy the damn music!

I'm missing the point of this, Gum - I think most of us enjoyed the music just fine (I know i did - esp. the Foos stuff)

<snip>I always get a little weirded out by people telling the others what to talk about and what not to talk about - whatever happened to, if you don't like something, just ignore it? Or voice an opinion and debate it - but suggesting the conversation just cease? Like I said, the point of that escapes me.

I'm thinking, among others, you might be talking to me. I've definitely mades suggestions that
people who want to talk about their own thing take it to another thread. Sorry that weirds you
out!

But I think for most of us --you definitely included, hb-- it's a matter of busyness. Of
limited time and attention to spend on iorr. Discussions are divided by topical threads, so
by scanning you can pick and choose what to read by title. When someone takes the time to
start a thread on a topic, and peeps starts going off on their own trajectories--which
spirals off into a whole 'nother thing--it detracts from the intent of the original thread
and kinda wastes time for readers who have to sift through these side convos that aren't
really central to the topic they're interested in...

When it's an influential poster who does that, some readers are so eager to engage with that
poster they can really get carried away and seem to forget the thread they're in and skew
the discussion and make it almost a personal back and forth. Some people may enjoy that
particular back and forth, but if it's not central to the thread topic it can be a little
frustrating. Make sense...?

"Chris is dead on about the situation caused by Keith's book. Anyone who doubts that doesn't know what they're talking about, and Mick is playing it to the max."

Wait, Mick was upset, or he overreacted? Some insiders said putting what Keith did in his book was not right but
some insiders were surprised by Mick's reaction? What is he playing to the max? Sorry, I'm confused.

I don't think we know for sure about MJ being upset, but I think that's a logical assumption. Regarding overreacted, he didn't 'do' anything, so how is that an overreaction? He is 'sticking it' to KR in a way, by living large but that is no way an overreaction.

So far we have only heard from the Keith camp, and they of course believe that Mick is overreacting, because all what Keith did was writing the truth

OMG! Was that a rocking rendition of Bitch or what? Stones fans: compare Grohl and co's take to that on the Stones A Bigger Bang DVD - Shanghi, I think. Now get the tissues ready!

Expect Mick Taylor or a third guitar player to go out with the stones this timeout. keith's fingers need some back up. glad to see Mick healthy and in good spirits - obviously hungry for the limelight.

Grohl didn't play there - only the other FF-guitar player and the drummer + friends.

S--not thinking of you at all - not even close - you post very trenchant stuff - it's rare when people do this - basically issue an order to stop talking about something because it rubs them them the wrong way - but the few times it happens - as it did here - i find it distasteful - just my opinion - and this board is, whether anyone wants to admit it or not - about 10% news and 90% opinion (as are most boards of this nature)

My apologies for my post, my intention was not to offend you. I suppose I forgot where I was for a moment there. Emotions are running high. This is a discussion board and we're living in a post-Life world now and things are different. I'm not asking anyone to stop the discussion. I just got a little annoyed by the fact that a book that was published almost 2 years ago is still the topic of discussion and the source for people's perception of what's going on with the band. Mick rocked the house and we're still thinking about Life. But I'm over it now. Please, continue unobstructed I'm sorry.
