By a Stones-fan I mean a person that:
- may have all or most official Stones releases but does not feel the urge to own all singles, compilations, solo albums etc...
- may enjoy to listen to bootlegs but do not collect them
- enjoys Stones shows but does not follow them everywhere (2-3 shows per tour are sufficient for them)
- does not collect everything which is Stones related etc.
A person like this is a better Stones fan than 99% of the people who attend Stones concerts and 99.99% of the general population. A person like this is much more than merely a casual fan.

What about being a fan"atic"? which would imply losing all sense of objectivity. Whatever the Stones do, it's good because they can't go wrong. Any of you out there feel that way. That is extreme and freaky!!But I have to admit sometimes I feel like that when the criticism pile on and annoys me. The bottom line is that they are THE GREATEST ROCK AND ROLL BAND in the World.
Mops "The stone Mujahideen" !!!!!!!

Don't you think it's sometimes wise not to grow up?
Sure. This band keeps me a lot in that way. But the freak has gone along with the 60's era. Gone with Brian and that creative foolishness, and turned out wise with the Taylor era. More respectable in some way. I wonder what would have been IORR if it had existed in those days. It frightens me

I would imagine most people on here fall about halfway between both categories, to be honest.
Personally, I would avoid most people in the second category - as should the Stones, if they have any sense.

I wonder how many people here consider themselves Stones-fans and how many Stones-freaks.
By a Stones-fan I mean a person that:
- may have all or most official Stones releases but does not feel the urge to own all singles, compilations, solo albums etc...
- may enjoy to listen to bootlegs but do not collect them
- enjoys Stones shows but does not follow them everywhere (2-3 shows per tour are sufficient for them)
- does not collect everything which is Stones related etc.
