...the Stones have ever done?

Justin Timberlake

Gothenburg 1982, Mick´s clothes was incredibly silly. I remember that I thought that rock n roll was becoming a circus with some middle aged men completely without taste.

Any of several of Jagger's 2002-present stage outfits, e.g., the one that says JAGGER on it (as if anyone in the house didn't know who he was).

I'd have to say Altamont. It's not embarrassing in the traditional "my fly was open" sense, but they tried to recreate the peace and love of Woodstock and wound up with hate, violence and death. A failure of that proportion must have been very embarrassing, though they were probably a little too bummed over what happened to be embarrassed about it.

You have a point about Altamont. The Stones were not at Woodstock,were second to The Beatles but were somewhat viewed as in it for the money, primarily. They try to capitalize on the Woodstock Thing with a Stones equivalent but it became the antithesis of Peace, Love, etc..

Still they made bucks . . .. perhaps most importantly for the future Sir Mick?

Arranging to have the actors in a soap opera shill for them.

The sound quality of the Miami 1994 VL show. Can it get murkier than that. I'm still not convinced the whole VL tour wasn't playback...

The Keith and Markus Larsson-thing.....

2 1 2 0

The NO SECURITY album cover. Followed closely by the GRRR! album cover.

89-13

Philadlphia 1981 opening day...........They had to restart a few songs because everyones timing was off. I remember Keith saying he "regretted" the Stones performance that day.....

A lot of the fans were there since the night before because it was general admission, so by the time the Stones got on in the afternoon people were drunk and tired and booing the Stones. It did't help that their warm up acts George Thorogood and Journey kicked ass that day.

Meet and and greet for cash before the show (if that is really true).

1. Undercover and Dirty Work albums,
2. Bill Wyman's - Mandy Smith scandal was rather pathetic.

Doxa- Why 50 and counting? The performances kicked ass! Are you talking prices?

Stoneage - VL playback? I don't thinks so. I saw two shows and one was far superior to the other.

Altamont didn't go the way they had intended, and they probably considered it to be a fiasco at the time, but I'm sure that as soon as they saw the movie, they realized it was the best thing that ever happened to them. It cemented their "legendary" status forever.

1981's dancing women on Honky Tonk Women or the cherry picker.

Inviting Dave Matthews to guest on Memory Motel & then putting it on the live album.

I always thought of it as being tongue-in-cheek, a bit of a piss-take. It's gloriously camp in the extreme and Jagger and Bowie revel in it.

Nothing.
Rock and rollers always turn things around therefore embarrassement for others become cool for rockers, anything goes really; peeing against the wall of a gas station, wearing women's clothing, acting effeminate, playing rock and roll pass 70, overcharging for tix etc...
Rock and roll,
