I have really been wondering if I should buy a ticket at all: the threads about Ronnie playing/not playing and really hating it all; the mystery back-stage guitar; the ol war horses filling up the second half of the show; the expensive tickets; Is it a choice between staying away and keeping my faith as a fan, or buying the ticket and be f.... disappointed??
But then, what the hell, somehow we forgive them, don't we? It's rock and roll, it's business, it's great music, it's roots, it's people getting drunk and stoned and vomiting, it's ear-splitting loud and it's the Stones! So heck, I'm going, I may even endure the trek to some far away cattle field (Jutland) to see them, if they pass on the time-honoured and obvious choice of venue of Copenhagen.
Hold your horses there, friends, I'm just saying that my impression of the lads can get rather torn and frayed, but in the end we bother anyway, cause there's only one Stones!
If you suspect that your woman is giving it away to everyone in town, would you want to not know anything about it only to keep your faith in the lady?
The only place I EVER read anything remotely sour about a Stones show is ere!
Try the reviews section, national press etc. etc almost all glowing.
You'd have to chop my knees off with a rusty spoon to stop me going.....
Ronnie miserable? Yeah right, he was born smiling Extra guitarist backstage...... can you really see KR ever doing that? Its a Stones show...... of course your gonna get 'Warhorses'..... it aint stamp collecting its a RnR show!!!
So ignore the 'prozac posse' and flippin well enjoy yourself......
I never understood this rumour. They already have a extra guitarist with Blondie ON THE STAGE so why on earth would they go through the trouble of hiding someone backstage??!?!?!?!
you will cry you will die if you miss the stones in 2006.. i've seen them on every tour since 1975..and they are better than ever...much better than the last few tours...the bigger bang tour has a lot more stones and a lot less chuck, lisa etc...more stones and less fillers..
funny thing i found was that all the stones fans crying about the high ticket prices..well non of them talk about the price after seeing the boys! because they gave their fans their monies worth...
this could be their last big tour with a great album to tour with. you would be crazy if you are a stones fan to miss this one.. in fact i think anyone who likes rock should catch a stones show..they will see what a rock and roll show is all about!
