All this chitter-chatter, chitter-chatter, chitter-chatter 'bout
Shmatta, shmatta, shmatta, I can't give it away on 7th Avenue
This town's been wearing tatters (shattered, shattered)
Why so much harm? the artists are young, older fans!

Will be unstuck tomorrow or day after as old news then.

Not much going on in Stonesland, so Ronnie is always the one who likes getting about.

What a dreadful song! Absolute s***e! And the teenage fans would not have a clue who Ronnie is. Loads of them already wear Rolling Stones t shirts and do not know anything about our beloved band. Anyway just noticed that even Doxa is speachless: he has written possibly his shortest post ever

One Direction are not a band. They are glorified karaoke.

Maybe so, but tomorrow there will be 4 million british teenage girls wondering, "who was that old bloke?"...........and then some of them will check out the Rolling Stones.............What's so bad?

And will join us here on IORR............

God, don't even say that man. That's bad karma. Can't you hear it: "Aw my God, Mick is SO hyper when he's dancing". That'll be the end of my time here.

Glad to see Ronnie givin' those kids some lessons. It's kind of a strange pairing but I at least give their guitar player some credit for that sweet looking SG he's playing.

peace

I must have missed it.

Was watching sport on BBC.

Will catch it tomorrow.

Six guys in front of stage and only one a really good musician .

Do you really need 4 or 5 vocalists when bands like The Stones or The Who just need one or sometimes two.

Wonder what Mick really said about it.

Doh!!

"As we say in England, it can get a bit trainspottery"

Mmmmmmmmm!

I really don't get this. Why would Ronnie do this, If he had an album or a book to promote, I would understand ( I would still not like it but at least understand). I don't want to make a judgement, but why Ronnie, why????

Breaking news : Ron has been demoted from this "official member" position in the band!
Back to 1982 for him : a per-diem and 2nd class airflights!

Wtach out Ronnie : Thorogood hasn't given up on plotting behind your back to take your place in the band! ><

And MT's right behind him!

5 attractive boys
only one of whom plays an instrument moderately well
who don't harmonize, but sing in unison
and are one of the most popular groups in the world


Simon Cowell is a genius

Seems to me that many boybands, although very successful and admired by millions of girls, don't want to think of themselves as boybands. Instead they would like to be considered as mean rock stars.
Hence the tattoos and the "rock" attributes. The collaboration with Wood probably supports them in this deliberate misinterpretation of themselves.

C'mon, my (very) early favourite had six singers...



Now, that was a 'boy band'...

- Doxa

Ronnie was one of OD's mentors when they started. Not surprising that he joined in for this.

I recall reading a year or three back that Ronnie had 'taken the band under his wing' and become an informal mentor so that could explain it...

Why would a sing-back boyband need a mentor in form of a rock and roll guitarist? What could he possibly teach them?

The business, the connections, the drugs?

Sure, Dandelion. Although I'm not sure that Ronnie is the right guy to answer those questions...

Endorsed. I truly find their worldwide popularity - and it's longevity, several years already I think - really baffling. They're not even particularly attractive. Anyway, Ronnie has had a long standing friendship with them; an unlikely relationship but it's his business and I don't care about it or think it damages the Stones in any way.

Boybands are pin-ups for little girls fantasies. The music is prefabricated. They are completely interchangeable. Soon another boygroup will take this ones position.
The market is enormous. A dream for people like Simon Cowell who can cash in on it.

From Ronnie on Twitter:"Really enjoyed tonight,playing live with the boys was so much fun".
So he had a good time, I like that.

Keep On Rolling

Why on earth would Ronnie Wood from the Faces and the Stones give an endorsement to either this appalling show OR the latest Cowell flavour of the month mass market pop phenomenon?
He seems to have become a bit of a media tart - award shows, movei premieres, fashion shows..what next Ronnie, game shows? Oh no you did that last night already.
