#StonesO2 First song: GET OFF OF MY CLOUD

Like I said, why to open with a Beatles song, when they have so many good song themselves!!!

By that yardstick you're also saying that a Chuck Berry cover is not a good one to play.

That's completely different - CB inspired Stones, not the Beatles.
Being a Stones fan, you should know that - waking up in the middle of the night, you should be able to say: who inspired Stones: Chuck Berry and the rest of the Blues gang, not the Beatles.

You're completely wrong there. I Wanna Be Your Man gave The Stones higher visibility with their first top 20 song, which is what they needed at the time, as they were desperately casting about for a follow-up to Come On.

Brian Jones was certainly inspired by The Beatles in a friendly but competitive way. Without George Harrison's experiments on sitar, Paint It, Black would have been just another pop song, and all the varied instruments Brian used on such songs as Ruby Tuesday, just to cite another of several examples.

Andrew Loog Oldham, former Beatles publicist, was certainly inspired to give The Stones the dark and dirty bad-boy image to contrast with The Beatles. Remember those gray-striped uniformed suits The Stones wore on their first TV appearance to perform Come On. Without The Beatles, that's how it would have been.

You sound like good old goofy Macca. Macca created the modern music. Huh, huh.
Beatles had absolutely nothing to do with blues, it was blues that inspired Stones, not Beatles.

How can one be such an ignorant? Even the Stones themselves has said that they were inspired to write songs because of the Beatles. Without the Beatles there would not have been an Aftermath, Between The Buttons, Flowers or Satanic. They Very much tried to emulate songwriting structures from the Beatles. Ruby Tuesday is as Beatlesque as it's gonna get. Have you seen the new Charlie is my darling? Check out the hotel room sequence were they are writing Sitting On A Fence and then afterwards plays I've Just Seen A Face and Eight Days A Week. That's proof enough.

Thanks stonesnow, I was biting my tongue to respond to the ignorance but you provided an accurate lesson. Playing the song for 02 gives the historical perspective, but they don't play it well, IMO. As Lennon said, it was (and still is) pretty much a "throw away."
