and the green parrot would squawk 'pieces of hate, pieces of hate'.

Moaning 'fans' who can't live with change, who mirror the band to 72/73 and nothing else. The band has always been subject to transition and change: it's one of its main characteristics. But for some people suddenly one tour becomes the REAL thing, and measure everything to that moment in time.

Blablabla

Well, fans who are yes-men. "They are as good as ever". "Ronnie B good", "Keith wasnt cool just high" etc.

i dislike Keiths moustache- i hope it goes before the tour.

what i hate about the stones.

hanging on to some of their underrated songs at the expense of hidden classics.

do we really need to get "its only rock and roll" when we could have "let it loose" or "shattered"

the stones not doing enough of thier 1964-67 songs in concert.

the stones not releasing loads of archive material they have hidden away.

ticket prices.

not coming to glasgow much.

not releasing enough studio albums.

I REALLY HATE CRAP SUBJECTS TO DISCUSS LIKE THIS.

The lack of releasing records it's almost 2 years ago they released BB

Hate is a too strong word indeed, but here's what I find absolutely disgusting about them:

>extended audience sing-alongs (something personal, I know)
>guitar posing instead of playing
>having released "I Go Wild" (shivers)
>"Do you feel awright?"
>the merchandising

I must say that what I hate are these kind of threads....Endless kicking and bitching of a band that you supposedly love.

This band doesn't need our permission to play the songs that they want to play.
They don't need us to tell them what to wear.
They don't need us to tell them who should play guitar.
They are not in it for the money.If so,they would have quit years ago.
Keith does what Keith wants to do.That includes kicking for the camera's and the fish hooks in the hair.

Just be happy,and enjoy.It won't last forever.

I agree that "hate" is too strong a word here.

But what I strongly dislike are the drug problems the band faced during its long history.

It seems to be so difficult to enjoy and be grateful for what we've been given decades ago, AND at the same time be thankful that we still have the choice to see them today. A CHOICE, so you don't have to go. It seems to annoy people that others enjoy what they are today. I think that is strange.

No naked dancers on stage.

"No Anchovies, Please"

MISS YOU!!!

NOTHING

I LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUt THEM. I hate chicks that think Mick is looking only at them at a show. I hate people that get wasted before a show. I hate people that think they last great album was Some Girls. And Oh Yeah.....I hate people that put down Chuck.

"I hate the fact that they fired Brian, and then forced Mick Taylor to quit,
which eventually led to Bill calling it quits."

What a load of old bull. So it took Wyman 20 years to finally show his grievance over MT??

I hate nothing about the Stones cause there's far more important things in life to worry about.

Long may they continue is all I'll say.

hear-hear
will you be at The o2, ablett?

I'd love to Pal but I'm doing up my house at the mo......

Let me see.

The 4th note in the 19th measure on the 5th track on Between the Buttons. I hate that one, but I'm pretty sure Wyman was high, so it's OK.

As much as I like watching Lisa... I'd love to see the Stones in a much more raw form without the back-up singers and huge staging.

I know that they do the smaller stages but that doesn't help anybody that doesn't live in New York, Paris or London. Texas hasn't seen a small gig since 1978. Although Austin was really really really nice!

some stupid & all of the time complaining fans.

(1) They're always calling me at odd hours
(2) They're very cliquey
(3) They stole my "Exile on Main Street" concept

1. Their business morals
2. Songwriting credits (see 1)
3. Ticket prices (see 1)
4. Boring warhorses (see 1)
5. Backup musicians (see 1)
6. Keith's posing and lazy-ass lack of playing (see 1)
7. No archive material released (see 1)

Ron Wood sleeping through shows and his insipid leads on songs like Streets of Love, which have potential.

Give us Waddy Wachtel.

The crappy pre-sale tickets you get from RS.COM. A few times I landed OK seats but never ever great seats.

Yeah, I know this is not a direct reflection on The Stones but it's related.

...I don't hate anything or anyone....well sometimes my exwife......but I am not very fond of the Stones high ticket prices and those people that tell you to sit down at concerts (those same whiners that were hassling Bingo)

Everything`s PERFECT about the STONES!!!!!

The biggest thing,for me,is the songs that they won't seem to play.One example is a solid half of Exile On Main Street : songs that are extremely rare in concert or that have never been played on stage.How many times has Rip This Joint been played since '75?Not too many.This would take them two and a half minutes to perform.

Also,they should announce the # of songs that they are going to play.People paid more for some 19 song concerts than other people paid for 21 song concerts this past tour.

Doesn't pertain to all of them but I'm a little disgruntled with Jagger and his insistence on being a solo artist. Don't get me wrong I liked Wandering Spirit and even the last one but take those songs and put them on a Stones album.

Anything Jagger writes will sound better with Richards on guitar and Watts on drums.
