some girls is a good album, its not great and the production makes the songs sound a bit weaker than they could be. the live version of shattered on still life is great, the studio version not quite as good. some girls live version on shine a light is good, not so the studio version. miss you is ok, but nothing special. before they make me run is ok. respectable is a very good song
Forum: Tell Me

shine a light live album is great. the setlist shows the stones for thier versatiltiy.

so theres to be a next time. havent we being saying this since august 2007.
Forum: Tell Me

would love the stones to release a great new album to rival the best, then to tour doing great and varied setlists then open the vaults and do another new album and tour. but it aint going to happen so whatever keeps the stones rolling will have to suffice. so a tour with no album would be ok by me. better to see them tour than not at all.

i was only at the last gig so cant comment on the standard of the other 2. i thought the last gig was quite emotional.

"could you be loved" is my favourite marley song. if theres a better one, please somebody tell me about it.

since the stones last gig. cant believe its really that long ago. always thought it would be the last ever. and nothings made me change my mind about this.
Forum: Tell Me

i almost paniced during the last gig in the 02 centre. i went to fetch myself 2 pints of beer and when trying to get back to my seat i almost tipped the lot over the folk in front of me, i could see the glasses tipping over, luckily i caught them with no time to spare. just think, one of you could have had a beer bath during "its only rock and roll"
Forum: Tell Me

im not negative, im positively awaiting news from the band as to what the future intentions are. and ive been waiting 3 years.
Forum: Tell Me

1. if the stones love making music and touring so much, then why havent you done anything for 3 years. 2. can you open the vaults soon. 3. when will you make an anouncement of the bands future intentions.
Forum: Tell Me

one thing that wasnt being denied is plans for a tour starting in 2011. the stones only denied it would be the last tour. so could we get an official anouncement soon.

became a stones fan in 1987. first tour was steel wheels in 1989, i saw them in 1990 at hampden park glasgow. then at murrayfield edinburgh in 1999. lastly the 02 gig on 27th sugust 2007. total of 3 only. due to my relative youth and the fact i missed out on any tour from 1962-1982 its difficult to work out what my relative total would have been had i attended all tours at the same

the stones reinvented themeselves several times during the 60,s. the beggars era sounds nothing like the early years which sound nothing like the 1967 period. i appreciatte the diversity of the stones sound from the early recordings through to the present day but particularly the first 7 years when the band changed dramatically over short periods of time. some of the stuff on buttons a

im not fussed about the studio version. its a bit one paced and dosent inspire me. the still life version is great though, jagger really has the crowd on edge right the way through, and the guitar solos are great too.
Forum: Tell Me

was aware of the stones from the mid 80,s. became a fan in 1987, thought they had chucked it in the late 70,s so was surprised to find albums like tattoo you, undercover and dirtywork existed. started buying up a lot of albums in 1988 and in august bought dirtywork, was dissapointed with it and thought the stones couldnt recored good music anymore. so was pleasantly surprised to hear
Forum: Tell Me

i just dont think the stones members enjoy what they do anymore. if they did they would have taken a short break after august 2007 and then got back to recording music, which they dont seem to have done. if they do come back again it will be to see how far they can take the stones, it wont be for the fun of it. its over 2 and a half years since they last played a gig and nearly 5 sin
Forum: Tell Me

anybody remember that rumour. think it was pre steel wheels era. i had been into the stones only a few short months at the time and had thought they had actually quit as a band but the thought of them coming back in this guise was totally unacceptable. maybe it was just a wind up.

jumpin jack flash coupled with its promotional video version(not the official studio release version) is the sound that defines the rolling stones from all the others.
Forum: Tell Me

as much as i hate to say. start me up, its only rock and roll, honky tonk woman, satisfaction and miss you are all extremely overrated songs. satisfaction the best of these has been played to death and is the stones signiture tune when in fact there are far better songs i would use to promote the stones. like let it loose, torn and frayed or rip this joint.

Forum: Tell Me

the big dissapointment is the stones have done nothing since august 2007 which was 2 years and 6 months ago, and even if they do tour again it is unlikely to be later this year at the earliest so even then it would be well over 3 years since they last done anything musically. i feel that the time lapse is too much for this band who must have known that they are running short on time anyway.

cant understand why people make comparisens between jones, taylor and wood. all were an important part of the stones destiny but just had a different role to play. i know there are many wood bashers out there but wood had a different job than taylor in that he had to learn songs from the mid 60,s era which was severely overlooked during the taylor era in concert. the setlists during the

if i could do a compilation album of all the stones later stuff from 1989 onwards it would appear to be almost as good as any from the 60,s or 70,s. but the problem with the stones later stuff is that any individual album is always compared to the stones "greatest songs" which is an unfair comparisen indeed when you consider that the stones greatest songs all individually came from stud

was really excited when the stones were recording steel wheels. it was to be my first stones album as a fan having got into them 2 years earlier. really liked the album as it meant they were back and sounded fresh which was a surprise having listened to dirtywork. but i never liked mixed emotions, it should never had been a single, it lacked sparkle and sounded a bit forced. the b

i was at the last concert at the 02 in 2007. felt the body language between the band suggested they had come to an end, hope im wrong and anyway if they knew that was the last gig surely they would have told us by now. if it turns out that it was the end then what a way to go, the concert was great and it was a joy to hear a couple of songs i thought i would never hear live "she was
