uh oh.........like a punch drunk boxer, they seem to have gone to the well one too many times. LESS from the Stones, on the road, would be better. Better planned and logistically, better performances etc. MORE time for recording and recuperating! LESS bitchin' from us. Gordon Gekko "Greed is Good"? Nup, proof positive they should slow things down (live). Rgds Rod Perth

I have bought many of the Stones singles, which thru the latter years (well, from Miss You, I guess) have often included remixes. Until the advent of my i-Pod, onto which I have put them all under a Stones Remixes Playlist, I guess I hadn't listened to them all that much. Now, though, I do, - many of 'em are "interesting" to say the least - but from my repeated listenings

.......so......they haven't lowered - by 2/3rds - the price for some tickets in Boston tomorrow to try and fill 'er up? I am sorry, still stick to my original thought. I am worried that the once mightiest rock unit in the world are going to go out, at least in the U.S, in an embarrassing whimper. I sincerely hope to be proven wrong. They are still my favourite band, after all.

I've lurked and posted here for a while. Been a Stones nut for 40 yrs. Seen 'em a few times, last one in Sydney this year (GREAT)....but....all this talk of slow ticket sales for the forthcoming return leg to the US worries me.

QUOTE : Superintendent Mike Keating said today police had viewed footage of Mr Irwin's death. "There is no evidence that Mr Irwin was intimidating or threatening the stingray,'' he said. "My advice is that he was observing the stingray. There are no suspicious circumstances in relation to the death of Mr Irwin.''

I have no feelings one way or the other toward Steve Irwin except I admire what he has done for conservation and wildlife. You, Marianna, write ..."A 'moron". You are an idiot. Whilst he DID have a hold of his son whislt he fed a croc, and I don't condone even that, he certainly DID NOT DANGLE the baby in front of the animal. Your choice of words is pathetic. Your co

The outtakes are fantastic, To my ears a better sounding record than the official Steel Wheels. SW alwyas sounded so "thin" to me, and smooth. The monitor mixes are rough and ready. Now, in a contradiction of sorts, I'll say it again. The Stones (and I LOVE them, they are my favorites, always have been ever since I heard Route 66 on my crystal set!) have never 'sounded like

Pretty much agree with everything he wrote, apart from the U2 reference. And though I saw them in Sydney in April this year, I would love to have heard Back of My Hand and It Wont Take Long instead of You Got me Rocking (bland Stones-by-the-numbers song) and Let's Spend the Night Together. BUT, as we don't get them too often downunder, to have had them in front of me AT ALL was a tre

Great GREAT G-R-E-A-T to get this set. I'd willingly PAY for a Deluxe version of the Album IF it contained For Your Precious Love, surely the best ever non-released song they've done that I've heard. It's bloody special, so soulful. Awesome cover song. The rest of the outtakes are, to my ears, better than the released thing. Bit more grit, bit less polish. Listening to
