your kind of sitting on the fence there Naturalust. Playing devils advocate again are we . say what you mean.
I am sticking my neck out here.
when i started posting on iorr it was very upsetting and all the hostility came from long time regular posters. They have heard it all before and are bored with iorr and they are very dismissive of new faces ( people )
I dont include you in this Naturalust, you treat everyone with the same respect, your contributions are the most exciting and interesting of all the posters on iorr. i just wish you stopped playing devils advocate
What on earth do you mean? Surely you mistake my ability to see both sides on an issue with devil's advocacy? Besides the view is better from the top of he fence. But, perhaps I do poke the bear every now and then to see what his reaction will be.
I actually like reading diverse opinions more than some of the "" singular minded fluff. I can't stand when posts take on other posters for what they consider whining or whatever or try to degrade someone's opinion because they haven't been here long or it doesn't tow the party line. There are some really smart and interesting people here and I want to hear what they have to say, regardless of how PC it is on this board. Unfortunately some of those people are no longer with us because they have crossed some not always clear line in the sand.
Anyway I'm glad you are here and engaged!

Discussions such as this have labeled "hateful" in the past and led to banning a - we must be careful,
I haven't liked it for a long time. There's a show within a show around her that nobody wants.
Go over my quotes i don't even mention Lisa's name. I never mentioned her in a personal way.
I think she is a lovely woman.
We are just expressing that songs we love like GS and YCAGWYW are being over vocalised. The core of the band is being over shadowed in our humble opinions..
I'm on your side man. I know people who have "dared" to voice similar opinions and gotten the boot. Unfortunately, there are people here who believe that any criticism is tantamount to a personal attack, which is nonsense.

I would far rather complain about the stupid hand motions and cheerleading that are done by Lisa and Bernard. Go listen to Brown Sugar from the Fonda gig and hear the "SUGAR!" repeated forever while Ronnie and Keith play aggressively and low in the mix.
She acts out a lot of the songs, complete with weird facial expressions, as if translating for deaf people. YCAGWYW has become unlistenable. And Bernard should know better.

What i don't understand is that it was ok today to pull poor Ronnie to shreds.
Some of it was way over the top. The guy is trying his heart out.
But we cant criticise the backing singers.
Ronnie in my humble opinion is not ruining any of the songs ...

How the hell do they get away with doing pretty much the same show for the last twenty years or so and charging rip-off prices for tickets?

Just from the top of my head - because people buy the tickets and have fun at the shows?

Are those tickets expensive? Yes. Overpriced? Hell yes. But why does it make people mad that other people voluntarily decide to spend a lot of money on a rock concert with a sort of predictable setlist? People spend insane money on drinking, smoking and other things that legally kill them, but that is fine, because that's the way things are. But to buy a 200 dollar ticket for a show? Outrageous!

They smoke the same brand, and drink the same beer as well - so predictable setlists are kinda familiar territory

When I in the company of others drink beer, not so often, then the beer is mainly a requisite. But when I drink wine - for its own sake and as a passion, that is, for the experience and enjoyment of the individual wines - I drink different wines for each new bottle, only one bottle on each occasion. For instance, last Saturday I drank a Ribera del Duero, the first of at least seven different Ribera wines that I am going to drink.
My deep wish is to experience the Rolling Stones more like how I drink wines than beer.
