I've once read that the Stones had been asked to play Woodstock but weren't allowed to enter the States because of legal proceedings due to drug abuse in England ... don't know if that's really true.

We've all been waiting for the long announced new Stones album. In the meantime we've got deluxe versions of GHS and TY incl. "new songs", at least they've been released officially by now. in the past, Mick and Keith both often argued that certain songs need to mature until a certain time to get released. That happened quite a few times ... TY is the perfect example. But

Hope Far Away Eyes will make it ... fingers crossed that poll is not predefined, i.e. all votes are useless as the band already has chosen their favourite to play.

QuoteIrix QuoteMeise I bought the BR version of Four Flicks a couple of years ago. Must have been a Bootleg then? Sorry, I was mistaken. I had "Biggest Bang" BR in my mind. Of course, Four Flicks is on normal DVD format. Thanks for the hint :-)

QuoteIrix QuoteFour Stone Walls But it would of course be great to see Bill - and Mick T - at a 60th show. Hyde Park 2013 would have already been a nice opportunity .... 1-2 songs each in their original lineup with Bill Wyman and/or Mick Taylor - but they didn't. Mick Taylor DID play with the Stones in Hyde Park 2013 - on MR and Satisfaction.

At least since the release of Bridges To Babylon, The Rolling Stones is not a band but a project. We've been waiting for a new album since when? What are the Stones doing but touring and making as much money as possible? Besides "Blue & Lonesome" we've got re-releases and concert footage during the last decade, also intended to raise money.

According to Nico Zentgraf CW played drums on eight of the ten on Dirty Work. Steve Jordan played drums on Too Rude, Ron Wood played drums on Sleep Tonight.

Charlie, you were a true icon. Your drumming style gave the music of the Stones that certain something. Thank you for all the decades that you have given us so much joy. We will miss you very much, and yet you keep drumming in our hearts, feelings and of course all records and videos. You were the undisputed No.1 among all drummers. Rest in peace, Charlie. You've got a special place in my

I'm still shocked and devastated, can't really say what's going on in my mind. Had always dreaded that day ... like many others I think that's going to be the end of the Rolling Stones.

The guitars and overall song sound like the Stones but it's definitely not the Stones. The singer sounds a bit like Mick but it's not him, for sure.

I assume the current situation is the beginning of the end of the Stones as a touring band. I'm afraid they won't do any major tours anymore. Probably they'll play some concerts here and there when they're invited to do, but I hardly believe that there will be any tours in the future. Charlie and Ronnie have been seriously ill, Charlie's 80, Mick and Keith close to. A fou

The first time I recognized Bill's great playing was by listening to a Hampton 1981 bootleg. The bass is very much upfront in the mix and you can hear every single note he was playing. Awesome, fantastic, unrivalled. Daryl's definitely a great bassplayer but Bill's playing was outstanding and gave the Stones' rhythms the certain something.

Thanks, I forgot that there had been an anniversary edition. But I meant the release of previously unreleased material from the recording sessions ... even more acid influenced sounds and songs.

A couple of days ago I came to listening to TSMR after a long time. Besides stuff like "Rainbow", "Light Years" or "Citadel/2000 Man", there's so much rubbish on that album, which made me wonder if there'll ever be a deluxe version with unreleased bell ringing and sound experiences. Would anybody buy such a release?

Honestly speaking, I don't expect another Stones album with new song at all. Mick, Keith and Ronnie have constantly talked about the coming but it didn't happen. I'm afraid just a couple of songs have been recorded, not enough to fill a complete album. In the case, they're seriously heading for releasing a new record, they would have had time enough to complete during all the

IMO the greatest guitar riff of all time is Chuck Berry's intro of "Carol". That particular riff figure reoccures in varied forms. Berry copied hisself several times, so did later guitarists, among them one that we admire most.

Was there, too. Remember that Keith was either drunk or stoned, he ruined "Memory Motel" and his attempts in playing Like A Rolling Stones could be stated as "Keith is learning a new song" ... But overally, it was a good concert despite the heavy rain.
