Condolences to you, Stefan. RIP William.

Ronnie's job have been excellent. Ronnie's contribution to the band have been more than important.

For those who have an interest in statistics: As I see on Mediatraffic Global chart, "Hackney Diamonds" is #1 worldwide with 386.000 "equivalent sales" this week. There are two new entries on Top 10. The Stones and Blink - 182 (#2, with 196.000 "equivalent sales"). Some decades ago, I couldn't imagine the Stones coming top in the Global Chart, at the age

It seems like the sales are really strong, globaly. Look at the whole picture, that's matters... Honestly, I can't undestand the complaints about #3 on US chart. If I count correctly, in the entire Stones history we only have 9 studio albums reaching #1 there and the last one was "Tattoo You". On the other hand, "Tattoo You", "Some Girls" and other studi

If I remember correctly, the same guy or other guy from the same pathetic band (that's my opinion about TS), a few years ago said the Stones SHOULD use more musicians, "as Pink Floyd did", because they are old (he also said that Led Zeppelin was a nauseus live band in 1975). Now he says that the Stones ALREADY use backing guitarist. Great, the Stones followed his advice... In t

Yes, I just saw the numbers on Wikipedia too. But they did ... wrong addition and they gave wrong total number of attendance (665,602 instead of 712, 541). So we have average attendance 50,895, including a small venue (Berlin), by these prices. Not bad at all...

Despite their age, the Stones sounded really good once again (I mean the entire Sixty Tour, of course). That would NOT happen, if Ronnie was bad. Ronnie's playing was sufficient or even better, overall. He was doing what he had to do. I judge Ronnie by his general contribution, not by "moments". All musicians have weak moments on stage, Mick included. All musicians, even those who

I had been reader of IORR forum many years before I joined the site. I remember Mathijs saying "I'm done with the Stones" (or something like that) during ABB tour. Glad to see another Mathijs review, 15 years later! Finally, the Stones are rolling in our blood. Period.
Forum: Tell Me

I think that, if some fans were judging the gigs of the "golden era" by their current criteria, by this spirit of "now I'm noting moments of sloopiness, now I'm counting mistakes", then many nights of 1978 and 1981 tours could be considered as "mediocre", if not "horrible" rounds... The Stones still put on a hell of a show - yes, at the age o

I remember another Stones concert that took place next day after Mick's birthday - and it was his 60th birthday. Prague 2003. I didn't imagine, then, the band putting on such great gigs, after 19 years... Fortunately, they still can do it and they do it!

I remember them playing 19 songs in 2003. so, 18 songs (still two hours gigs), at their 79, under heat waves, that isn't big deal for me. (But, please, not less than 19, right Mick, Keith and Ronnie ?)

"I feel like sometimes people are judging Keith more based on how he looks on stage rather than how he plays". That's right, RaiseTheKnife... But, IMO, people who judge Keith by this criterion are bacically among the so called "hard core" fans, let's say among the "all time complaining" ... wing of IORR forum...

"I think you guys exaggerate a bit when it comes to the difference between the concerts. Judging from videos, I also thought that Brussels was better than Amsterdam (especially Keith seemed more vital and energetic), but Amsterdam wasn't such a lackluster concert that some people here claim it to be (...) In my perception, the differences are there but not that extreme." Agree
