Cringeworthy and then some. Truly horrible.
don't give me that. you KNOW I speak for the entire community here....
It's personally never been part of their legendary status with me. The Stones always came out looking like buffoons in my eyes. They seem cool in concert and during all the build up, but Altamont always made them (or mainly Mick as he was the mouthpiece talking about Altamont during press conferences) look pretty foolish. Mick never comes across as a "true believer" in all the peace and love stuff, like he's just trying to hitch the Stones to the Woodstock bandwagon, and it goes horribly wrong, with the band losing total control over the situation they had created. I know for some Altamont adds to the whole "danger" element of The Stones, but to me they just look powerless and like they can't control their own creation.

That is a very good question because I can't think of much that is outright embarrassing.
I mean what exactly constitutes embarrassment?
To fail. You set out to achieve a result, usually something that is going to benefit you, make you look good - and you end up looking stupid. Unintentionally.
I think intent has a lot to do with it.
I'd say the cage in '97 was bad. Jagger planned on looking cool and dangerous, and ended up looking like an imbecile.
One can't really say that Dirty Work or Emotional rescue were an embarrassment because the perpetrator has got to realize that he has failed. You can't blush if you don't know you've done wrong.

I've always hated the fact that The Stones on stage (and off) wear Rolling Stones shirts and other articles of clothing with their band name or logo on them. They've already made it, they don't need to self-promote.

I think it's safe to say that one of the reasons this is the grnrbitw is that they have embarrassed us and themselves more than band in history. it just never ends.

I would have to say that Altamont was an embarassing moment indeed. A total shock it had to be to the band.
Also,I think not involving Mick Taylor more in the current 50th anniversary is kinda SAD/EMBARASSING....ALONG W/ BILL WYMAN. They gotta lot of miles out of those fellas. Don't just bring them on for a tune or two. And when theY are on stage don't act if they weren't even there. CELEBRATE THE MOMENT!

Not the most emberassing but the most recently:
Mick Taylor acting like a guitar god and dancing like a teddybear doing this "I am the dangerous guy"-stuff...
I´m glad Bill Wyman had style and didn`t walk center stage with Mick and giving us Lemmy or Flea.

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.
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.
It's personally never been part of their legendary status with me. The Stones always came out looking like buffoons in my eyes. They seem cool in concert and during all the build up, but Altamont always made them (or mainly Mick as he was the mouthpiece talking about Altamont during press conferences) look pretty foolish. Mick never comes across as a "true believer" in all the peace and love stuff, like he's just trying to hitch the Stones to the Woodstock bandwagon, and it goes horribly wrong, with the band losing total control over the situation they had created. I know for some Altamont adds to the whole "danger" element of The Stones, but to me they just look powerless and like they can't control their own creation.

I can't remember which CD they released that was supposed to have a multimedia component on it but I know that it wouldn't work on Windows or Mac. Definitely worth a blush.
Wasn't there also a VL game or something like that? I remember seeing them in low discount stores selling for $1.99. That's got to make you feel silly.
I still haven't seen Live at the Max because I don't have an 8,000 square foot television to play the letter box DVD or whatever format it's in presently. Way to reach your fan base.
