When do we think the spots were recorded? There was a slip when Keith mentioned
He just heard about BB. If this whole thing was recorded days earlier than many
Of us wasted our time sending thoughtful questions - myself included. Up until
The beginning of the session I was getting prompts to hurry and submit my questions. If this recorded ahead of time thing is true then I have just lost
A lot of respect for this band. Lying to your fan base seems like a big mistake to me.

COOL!!
I thought the tweet/video interviews were cool>> [twitter.com]
I saw early on how it was going, so I decided to come back later and pick and choose which questions I wanted to see/hear them answer... and I just did that... and it was fun to see them talk!!!
I enjoyed seeing the video replies (from some of my favorite famous people) versus the regular text tweet replies and I know full well at this point to not expect anything earth shattering, and I assumed the announcement was about the Fonda theater warm up show, and we already know that... so... I thought it was a fun way to spend 20-30 minutes and a good idea.
I bet a lot of poeple will enjoy stopping by the twittter account and seeing the clips, even if it was recored earlier.
Thanks Stones!!

Periscope is only for IOS. STUPID. STUPID STUPID social media people. This is being handled so poorly it is insane. Either management is making bad decisions, social media management folks are making bad decisions, Stones are making bad decisions, or the service provider is making bad decisions.
I'd broadcast for them in full multicam and do it right, for next to nothing.

It MIGHT have been that influential if it had been live. Pre-recorded responses to hand-selected questions felt antithetical to the 'real-time' conceit of Twitter, at least to me.

that awkward moment, when the "greatest rock and roll band in the world!" becomes....Spinal Tap.
Sorry, the suckers are just getting what they are paying for: cynical, manipulative millionaires stealing not just your money, but your time, too.

As lame as that was, I think you can say in defense of the band that NOBODY is really sure how to market music these days.
It's a mixed-up muddled-up shook-up world, indeed. The Stones have enormous advantages over lesser "brands" but they also face a challenge: in an age where disintermediation rules and middlemen are made obsolete, how does a 50-year old band of 70-somethings get closer to its customers?
Do they run the risk of looking foolish if they try to be too au courant? Do they take the Dylan approach and give an interview to AARP to make sure the geezers all come out to stadiums this summer?
It does seem, though, that if they ARE going to dip their toes into the social media waters they could probably afford some better help.[/[/b]quote]
