Please Tell Me: What's the essential point of stating this over over and over and over again... ?

And what is there really to debate here:
We all know Ron had a lousy start at the ABB Tour; and a lousy maybe first six weeks of the American leg... Too bad for all people who go top several shows,
esp. those of us who had the incredibly bad luck of doing it
Then finally got his thang together & started play like a rock star.
Who doesnt agree?

Sway didnt work for Ron at first; but I think all of us - or at least a undiscussable majority will agree that he has managted to row Sway ashore
in his own way.

Ron Wood & Keith Richards will always be relevant as guitarists in the Rolling Stones; and - so help me God - all that dwell other opinions can just bugger off. There is always a park, a bench; and doves to feed...

Like I've said many times, if you aint happy with the Stones then what you doing here?
Griping continuously aint constructive or worthwhile, its just moaning for the sake of moaning.
I've heard many recent boots and I think the Stones are rocking as do 99.9% of reviews on this site and by the press!
What makes the wingers here so different???

Many of us are attempting to restore some kind of objectivity, in the face of myopic childish subserviance.

I know it must be very difficult to have someone disagree with you, but that's life. Get used to it. Get over it.

Aucoin, no one wquestioned Freddom of Speech.
In fact I think that is held way up higher in the old World.

Still I wonder: why bring the f***-ups up non-stop?
Didnt Keith mess quite some times in the 70s?

It's a topic that moves me constantly. Being such a bad guitar player and making that much money with it. Fascinating. Both Keith 'n Ronnie can't really play but they travel the world, making loads of money got all the benefits of being class 1 celebreties and doing almost nothing for it. I mean really...This IS a topic, isn't it?

I HAVE to talk about it.

I'd give therapy ago if its THAT bad!!!

Aint Rock N Roll meant to be 'sloppy" anyway, its all about the moment, the feel???

You wanna hear 'technically' gifted musician then I'm sure there's a few YES sites begging for more analyss of every note???

And if my entire contribution is to enjoy, suppport and admire the stones then thats fine in my book rather than grizzle about ever tiny subject!

Keep on typing, mate.
Keith & mick picked Ron. Fine with me.
I can miss Taylor.
maybe it would be intersting with Clapton, Page & Blackmore
in the Stones... But their concept have never been
about being a clever b*stard.
...Why do I get déja vù-feelings now?

Looks like more of a circular movement from here. A very small one at that.

I'm sort of enjoying Viva las vegas performed by ZZ Top from 1992.
It was originally recorded in 1964 as a B-side to the single What'd I Say by Elvis Presley.
Viva Las Vegas was penned by Doc Pomus and Mort Shuman
It's soooo goddamned goooood. I loovezzz it real mucho. MEZ

and Ay ay baby it hurts

It's a "Rolling Stones" fan site, not a "Rolling Stones 2006" fan site, Ablett. But I could do with less negative posts...
