I doubt that they're recording. They're old men that enjoy rest and families.

Of course the band needs to know what songs to play. It'd make no sense to get surprised the moment the poll results are shown. I don't want to see a band play a sloppy, rumbling song that they've never or only rarely played before.

The time of "classic" live records is over IMO. Before digital times, there was little opportunity to get live material from current tours. Hence, live recordings made sense as people wanted to hear the band and their sound, new songs live; let's say to get an impression of how the tour was. Today, there are several recordings of any show, easily accessible on YT or other platforms

QuoteGlimmerest QuoteGasLightStreet The point of Miss You and Start Me Up is they have the exact same beat. Yet Miss You is considered "disco". SMU is possibly the only other Stones song with cowbell all the way through it. Remove the Master Musicians Of Joujouka part of Continental Drift and what is there? Is it the speed of light song that's great? It sounds like a PRIMITIVE

Obviously, the Black Crowes deserve being inducted, also Chubby Checker, Billy Idol and Joe Cocker. Oasis' promo tour can't be the reason to induct them. Years to wait for that ...

QuoteDandelionPowderman Quotedadrob They wrote Silver Train for him. They didn't even write it for themselves According to Mick, it was just a jam that they could use for a song. They let Johnny cover it, though. Johnny's version of "Silver Train" is far better than the Stones' version

Basically, it's kind of similar story to the Stones. There was a point at which both Alphatians couldn't get along with each other any longer. Probably both egos were big enough to suppose being successful without the other. In both cases it didn't work because the project is greater than the sum of all participants. And it goes without saying that money has huge influence and is

Folks, calm down. As long as there's no official announcement, you may speculate to death. Does speculation give a kick to you? I don't get it ... hope you sleep well.

During the demonstrations in the fall of 1989 in the former GDR (East Germany) I shouted "Rolling Stones to East Berlin!". What should I've shouted if the Stones wouldn't have been existing any longer by then? ;-)

I always rated the ER cover as one of the worst album covers ever - not only for the Stones. It's just aweful, and I never tried to find out what it's meant to be or who's to been recognized in those dubious images.

QuoteTravelinMan Weirdly the record is in the key of F, but they played it in ‘73 and ‘77 in E. I’m wondering if they sped the tape up to take up less space on the record a la Fingerprint File. The Stones have done that with several song, i.e. they dropped the key down by a half or whole tone. Obviously better to sing for Mick avoiding voice fatigue or even vocal cord problems.

I've never spent more time on listening to an LP to make it "work" than TSMR and this is one of the songs that makes me never bother listening to it.

It's a horrible tune on an uninspiring album. That's a musical LSD trip but far away from the psychaldelic pearls of that time. Gomper and The Lantern are some of the worst songs the Stones ever recorded.

Read Keith' book "Life". There's a whole chapter on strings, tunings and special playing.
