Tell Me :
Talk
I've said they don't really care about the music anymore. They've always had respect for their fans.
To let fans into a rehearsal once in 50 years is really not something to suddenly crown them fan lovers. Although letting in groupies is another thing, I'm sure that happens all the time.
That being said, I would have ran into the place had I been there.
I don't dare say what it means.
Yes you are jaded. You must really be in some kind of delusional world if you think the Stones planned that event just so BV could attend and then tell everyone here. If you notice...BV did not start this thread: another fan who may/may not have been at the rehearsal started this thread. There is one other member who went and posted about it.. Are you saying the Stones' crew knew exactly who these members were? Ridiculous.
And what exactly is the "great effect" that this stunt created? A thread with 6 pages? Big deal. Do you see anyone swallowing their pride and "forgetting the issue" and buying $800 tickets to finally see the Stones? Nope. Nothing's changed. It's one little positive thread--without any bullshit. It's not rocket science.
Even as cynical as I have been about this band over the last few years, whether it was a publicity stunt or not, it is pretty damn cool that they allowed fans in to a rehearsal. Certainly a once in a lifetime event for the lucky fans who got in!
That's it and I sure hope that those who got in won't let their happy feeling steal away by those who moan and whine about a publicitystunt or whatever other crap.

Re: Fans invited into the Paris rehearsals - lifetime experience
This is nothing new, during the Bigger Bang rehearsals in Vilvoorde Belgium, they allowed a few lucky fans to enter the studio!
They love their fans. Stop bashing the boys
"No dope smoking no beer sold after 12 o'clock"
"No dope smoking no beer sold after 12 o'clock"
Exactly, no press reports (only this fan report published on the "Le Parisien" website, possibly from william060190 who also posted in this thread but that no one could really place yesterday), nothing on their FB page, I didn't see anyone take pictures of us, etc...
It was a real present because frankly it would have been easier for them to not do it, no one was expecting it, and it was a bit of a security issue, as well as seeing leaked pictures and videos of their intimate setup, fortunately no one was stupid enough to risk it and spoil everyone's fun.

Hilarious. One day you guys are up in arms about the high ticket prices, saying that they don't care about the fans. And now you guys are saying they're so good to their fans. Does this mean they are forgiven?

Cmon BV,of course it was a PR stunt,maybe not in the traditional sense of regular press,and photographers,but you were there and you run one of the top Rolling Stones boards in the net,and what a coincidence that they did this on the day you were there?,and look at the great effect that this stunt has had on this board and all the others that have reproduced your glowing review of that mini concert,lots of folks that were bitching and moaning about ticket prices,have already forgotten that issue.Perhaps l am too jaded to believe that it was an innocent gesture by the band to be "nice" to the 32 of you that were there yesterday,but l don't buy it. In conclusion l am very happy that they did it and that you and the others got in and got a glimpse,of the band that most of us mere mortals will never be able to do...Quote

There were exactly 32 happy fans on that list of names of people who were allowed in. Plus a handful other guests up at the balcony. I recognized most of these fans also today, at the final rehearsals date in Paris. Rain or shine. It was a nice gesture and certainly not a PR stunt, because there were no photos, no press. Simply joy among the fans.

Don't you dare let anyone take this away from you BV. This is a beautiful thing - MUSIC to my ears.
I'm doing a fan-girl thing right now...listening to Exile = imagining the scene. So cool!
Love to the Stones!

Who's fighting and what for? Yeah, I was there, loved every second of it, everything is done with a motive in life...sometimes it's just to bring joy to others and to yourself. I posted yesterday the explanation we got off the cuff as to how that all happened and I have everyone reason to believe it.
Ronnie's look in that superb picture that bv took as they were leaving Bondy for the last time yesterday says it all, he was about to shake "Angel Pat's" hand who'd been there each day they rehearsed since October 10th :

Just a note - the fans outside the studio were not "waiting", most of them were "listening". Of course, seeing them arrive and leave became part of the ritual. But the point of being there for most was mainly to listen to music. Especially when it was warmer and the studio doors were left open.

Not trying to bash ROPENI, I think he is entitled to his opinion, but I have been checking the internet for stories from the press about this event and I've seen nothing yet. Maybe there has been something about it in Europe, but the media has not picked up the story here in the US, as far as I can tell. If it was a PR stunt I am sure we would have seen it in some of the mainstream media outlets.
I don't think we need to pick it apart, it seems to have been just a very nice gesture to the fans. Congratulations again to BV, and all the devoted fans that got a once in a lifetime treat.
