this site is fantastic but....

really love this site and technicaly it works perfect. i just really think that the "design" is, sorry to say, not really nice. during 45 years this band has been pictured. there is tons of great fotomaterial to use to make a website look great.
but instead i always see this multicolor-headache-backround and those 2 lets say mediocre snapshots. dont take it as an offend. it's just an input...

BV tried tweaking it a few months ago and there was a near riot!

It's great! You know, it does not look pretty at all, but it's easy to navigate through and read.

I really like it. There is a little mess in the links (good sitemap would be useful!) though.

yeah, the navigation is cool. and as i said it works perfect. and i wouldnt want a fancy grafic-designer flash animated site! i hate that. but lets say: a weakly changing nice black and white shot on a neutral background and a sorted linklist would be really nice...

i was only talking about the homepage (the start-site).
as i said: the rest is perfect how it is.
i could make some layouts-suggestions for the homepage...but i cant program it.

but it's not the end of the world if it stays how it is. ;-)

I like this site it's the Rocks Off I don't really care for their new page. Wasn't their old one better in black and yellow?

This is FAR better than the band's official site.

Yeah, but the navigation is great, and the contents are superb.

Sorry for the bad joke...

I like it as it is! It's loading fast, one of the few pages I visit while traveling (I use an old and simple HP PDA with WLAn which is quite slow). Navigation is simple, content is superb. And I also like the forum as it is. Of course one could make it graphically more...eerrhh....modern or....complicated but it's the content that counts.

I've visited quite a few fan sites. This is, in my opinion, the best. So it does not have a screaming design, but it's nice and clean. Very easy to navigate in and it's run by a man who's doing this on his spare time. He's not making a cent from this, as opposed to certain others who have advertising and sh*t and links to places and sites you don't even wanna know about.
This site is up dated, and far better than the rs.com - and we have the best forum.
I'd just like to say THANK YOU to BV for his idealism and this great site.

Frankly I'm an old fart who is not that keen on allot of what folks find usefull about the net. But a pet peeve of mine is clutterd web sites with so much eye candy that you can't find the 'help' button let alone find anything specific to my needs.

This site is fine, works well and I figured it out first time. Rememeber allot of Stones fans are not computer fans.

Guitarbastard - I think that you really look like sh!t. Don't get me wrong, everything else about you is near perfect, you just look like sh!t.

I like it very much the way it is. It is very functional and easy to read.
The new Rocks Off site is worse than it was. The old clolours worked much better, made it easier to read. I really hope they change that soon to the way it was before.

let everything how it is - it's perfect!
what else can you expect on a stones forum ;-)
honestly it was just an input. i didnt complain about anything else but the design.
i love that everything works fine and the forum is just great. and as i said: i hate those over designed flash sites.
didnt wanna be offensive or anything, it would just need some tiny adjustments.
some cooler pics on the frontpage and a more neutral background and assorted links.

and the background is not blue, as someone said! it really is a headache-multicolor-something!
never mind...

All together now...

I know It's (the) Only Rock n Roll website...
But I like it, like it..YES I DO!

I had to do an evaluation of poor and very good websites for a website design course and guess which one I chose as the best in relation to loading, easiest to navigate etc.

Thanks BV.
