QuoteMadMax Best thing they've recorded since Hoodoo From the first listening I have a similar impression. It is a funny number in a positive sense. Some men in their late seventies and early eighties performing this kind of music - quite something.

QuoteBig Al Minus the footwear and baseball cap, he’s appropriately dressed for the cricket. Could Mick possibly be the ‘most English’ Rolling Stone? Following the Stons from the continent I always had the impression that Charlie Watts was the most English Rolling Stone. The englishness of the band is remarkable. Only Keith Richards seems to have become a little detached from his mothercount

Noel Gallagher 27 years ago. He is now older than the Stones were during the Babylon Tour.

Without any doubt Ron Wood played badly on many occasions - but even then he brought in some charming moments as a showman. On the other hand he offered highlights and inspiration as well.

Zak Starkey is a good drummer, I attended an Oasis concert in which he played. Townshend and Daltrey are free to do what they want to do - but treating a long tim colleague like that twice in a row is stupid and shabby, I agree with those who already wrote that.

The big money probably came 1989 onwards - yet I find it hard to believe, that there was hardly any money before. They had tax problems and moved to France around 1970. I assume that they made a lot of money in the seventies and early eighties. In 1999 Charlie Watts said: "We always have been paid well." It is really surprising that Wyman recently claimed, that he and Charlie Watts did

It is very strange that Loewenstein publishes stories about the Stones. It is bad behaviour indeed. Maybe age turned him silly.

QuoteMunichhilton Quotewindmelody Sting's "Ten Summoner's Tales" from 1993 is a masterpiece. Another fine album is "Flying away" (1997) by the London based trio Smoke City: It combines electronic sounds and beats, guitarplaying in the Brazilian style and a very sexy performance from singer Nina Miranda. I liked Soul Cages better but both were good. Imagine if Stew

Well well, Mr. Keefriffhards - you write "but who cares what I think and what do i care what you think?". That is probably why we all come here several times a day. By the way, I love Time out of mind as well.

QuoteTaylor1 Mick and Keith wrote the songs.So they became the leaders of the band.Plus Brian had issues with drugs.And then what happened with Anita. True. It had to go wrong: A trio often is a dangerous constellation, and Brian Jones had a huge ego and was vulnerable at the same time - another dangerous combination.

The civil service job comment is a rather polemical provocation. I cannot answer the question whether the Stones are had workers - Charlie Watts had his thoughts on that. What I can say is: Ronnie Wood got into the Stones, and the dynamic riff for Hey Negrita was there. Some Girls is a classic album by the Stones, as is Tattoo you. Ronnie Wood has had a huge impact on both albums. He set highligh

"Definitely maybe" was a great debut of course. Oasis had something special then: They just threw together their b-sides and had "The masterplan", another great collection of songs.

"Morning Glory" is great, I have to admit that I have a soft spot for "Be here now". I remember the concert they played in Frankfurt in november 1997. The hall was full of english fans who did not get tickets in the UK. The band was totally on drugs, it was one of the craziest concerts I have been to. Noels amp broke down, it was a huge choas, but somehow impressive. I still e

There was something special about the Stones at the end of the nineties: They were charismatic,auratic, they rolled - and a certain decadence was part of their magic.

It would be fantastic if they invited Tony McCarroll to play "Supersonic". Alan White is a more skiled drummer - yet I always felt sorry for McCarroll. At least it would be fair if the Gallaghers would not talk badly about him in public anymore. And, as pointed out before, McCarroll's style fit to "Definitely maybe". Of course one has to say that White's playing on &
