Oh please stop. Macca is good. He certainly is. Macca didn't invent heavy metal. That was more likely The Who. Don't call Beatles stupid Ferrante. Wings was good, but not as good as the Beatles, and the Beatles weren't as great as the Stones (Even if they pushed the boundaries the most in that decade). Records of sale and such has nothing to do with anything. That's just Hollywood bull-crap. You put too much into The Beatles giving The Stones "I Wanna Be Your Man". The Stones made Jumping Jack Flash and Brown Sugar by themselves. Macca never ever topped that. I wouldn't call Drive My Car and Helter Skelter mellow songs. But I'd call Hey Jude, Blackbird and Yesterday mellow songs. I agree that he is very varied, but a true rock 'n roller??? No way. He's more like a Buddy Holly bopper (And yes I heard Run Devil Run).
The loudest song the Stones ever did??? No idea, but if you crank up Brown Sugar and compare to Helter Skelter, then the latter would look like a Sunday picnic in the park. Mick can't sing like Macca. That's true. But he can move instead. Macca can't. He just stands there. A Bigger Bang is a cool title IMO. The only title that would be cooler is: A Bigger Gang Bang
. Certainly better than Chaos and Creation IMO ('Cause if there's one thing I don't like about Macca it's his constant "I was in the Beatles, and this is how I used to do it with John" thing. I hate that).
I really think you should find somewhere else to grass Ferrante. Do you really think you can come on a Stones board and convince everybody that Paul McCarteny is better??? www.paulmccartney.com has a very good forum. Please go there. I bet you'll love it, and you wouldn't have to fight with people.
(BTW: I stress the following: I LOVE Macca, and John Lennon was a genius, but Paul was just as good -----> A genius........But they ain't the Stones).
