Well done, MSSR50, a great way of evading the question. Yes, a Stones Inc. insider would certainly technically be an outsider among all us outsiders, as we outsiders are surely not Stones insiders--but let's not let our logic get twisted inside-out. And may you never have occasion to share all of your secrets, as you mentioned above.
Oh dear. That sounds like a dodgy proposition.
I cannot imagine any more large-scale tours. Sadly.
You don't need to be an "insider" (or a psychic) to understand the genius of Mick Jagger. A little experience in promotions/marketing, some knowledge of the game of chess, and "a pinch" of common sense, certainly doesn't hurt though. Not saying you are going to hit the bulls-eye every time (when anticipating the "moves" of Jagger) but you should (at least) be able to get your darts somewhere on the board. Provided you possess the before-mentioned assets, of course.

YEEHAA!!
And I am delighted I made you laugh... that was my objective
I'm probably a day late and a dollar short posting this today but that was exactly my thought when I first saw that horrid gorilla. Keith hated the corn stuff for the Licks tour (if I remember correctly) and whoosh, it was gone forever!
Lose your dreams and you will lose your mind...
It is? It looks nothing like it:
Well, but how many dicks can one handle at a time?
Lose your dreams and you will lose your mind...
It might not be the Cover/Title I would have chosen, but it kind of fits the longer I look at it. Think of some of the other covers and titles of some Stones compilations in the past, I think it's sort of in line with those.
Metamorphosis
Made In The Shade
etc...
It's still better than Jump Back, one of the ugliest album covers in my opinion...
I don't know what the hell this Grrr thing is supposed to be alluding to, other than the song Monkey Man, or growling guitars, but I don't find it THAT bad. Confusing maybe, but not a travesty.
Well, my point wasn't to point blame, just stating my opinion that in hindsight I don't think this is really the worst or strangest compilation album cover, regardless of who designed it.
Yeah, except for Hot Rocks, or even More Hot Rocks. No Stone Unturned isn't half bad either. But for the most part they all look pretty strange. Especially Rolled Gold, Solid Rock, etc.
Talk about your favorite band.

Don't know the prices - I think $20 would be a fair price.

A disgusting, stupid and tasteless cover. What a way of finishing a glorious and unique career. What a poor last shot. The cover suggests a title like "one last drop".

I am alway looking forward to new songs. So here is the question. Will Universal (and/ or the Stones) be greedy and NOT allow the two songs to be purchased individually on iTunes or will they be creeps and insist that we buy a 3 cd set to pick up two singles? I am aware that I have the freedom to not purchase anything, but I do want the new songs, because as a fan - I know that I will enjoy them!
What'S your suggestion? Mine is clear. They'll suck big time.
I hear they are "killer". Best Stones since Bridges.
MSSR50, I want to thank you for being such a good sport about all my needling comments regarding your being a Stones Inc. insider/secret agent man--after all, I say such things all in the spirit of good fun. I also want to thank you for complimenting me on page 3 of the september 4..... what do you expect thread for having such a "fabulous imagination", which, as a creative poet/musician type, I certainly do. I would also like to let you in on the fact that I possess certain psychic abilities as well, because, also on page 3 of the september 4..... what do you expect thread, in my post of September 5, I accurately predicted that you would proclaim the 2 new tracks on GRRR! as "the most brilliant tracks they've recorded since Bulges To Bubble-on", and sure enough, just 38 hours later in your post in this thread on September 6, you did indeed proclaim these 2 new tracks as the "best Stones since Bridges."
So you are indeed an insider--or at least, you know someone who has heard the 2 new tracks before the general public has, because why else would you proclaim songs as "killer" before you've even heard them? That would be putting the cart before the horse. And you're far too shrewd to be putting carts before horses, or counting chickens before they hatch. I like you, MSSR50--the almost unbearably upbeat, unfailingly positive tone of your posts, while appearing to contain a whiff of a certain hidden PR agenda, is most entertaining for sure.
Ah, but that's just my "fabulous imagination" at work again--fabulous, yes, and, as you can see from how my prediction of your "best Stones since Bridges" quote was foretold, also containing a hint of psychic-based truth.... Hey, how do you know I'm not in the room with you right now, unseen?--I could be looking over your shoulder the very moment you are reading this, like an apparition.... BOO! GRRR!
So you are the nervous lil Barney Fife Munchkin (overhead) with the heavy feet! How can one with such little feet make so much noise? And while I have your attention: Stop wasting tax payer dollars shadowing me and catch my stalker! The one who has stolen my identity and ran my cell phone minutes way over limit last month! I know I have a big mouth, but..... Or are you the stalker? Or worse yet, my manager, (sent by Mick) to spy on me to see if I am doing my job as Secret Agent (050) for the Mighty Rolling Stones! You see, we, (you and I) are kindred spirits.
Am I an insider? I am definitely an "outsider" here at IORR. Seem to have a knack for pissing off all the "Anti-Stones" that troll about around here.
Someday, (when the Stones call it quits) I will share all of my secrets.

According to the email I just got, there is going to be a super special deluxe edition of GRRR! released. In addition to a book, postcards, a poster, some vinyl and 4CDs with 80 songs, there will be a bonus CD included.
Any thoughts to what will be on the bonus CD?

It was mentioned on the original announcement, batcave.
They didnt say a single thing about it's contents on the press release - bizarrely - which would make me think its nothing 'out of the ordinary'.
If it IS something which contains unreleased material, it would be bloody typical if the only way you could get it is by spending £100 on a boxed set full of songs you already have several times over.

Remember Keith told them to get rid of one of the recent stage decorations? He did not know anything about it until the first stadium show in Boston. Then he said get rid of it. I am pretty sure most of the band did not see the gorilla thing, well may be Charlie and may be even Mick, but not Keith. And the tongue is so classic 1971 I can't believe it.
I'm probably a day late and a dollar short posting this today but that was exactly my thought when I first saw that horrid gorilla. Keith hated the corn stuff for the Licks tour (if I remember correctly) and whoosh, it was gone forever!

Looking forward to seeing these guys a couple of more times.
It might not be the Cover/Title I would have chosen, but it kind of fits the longer I look at it. Think of some of the other covers and titles of some Stones compilations in the past, I think it's sort of in line with those.
