Don't have AMEX, but tried TM anyway. I missed all the pre-sale for UK and USA last time because I was travelling, so experiencing for the first time now. Looks like Brooklyn is only selling to people with a billing address in USA or Canada. I live in UK, no use to me. I actually feel physically sick seeing all the premium options on offer, and they are all hyper-inflated crap. Brussel

My two cents upon first listen. It has a JJF intro, and a YGMR weave throughout. The former could save it, the latter helps to destroy it. The toy piano piece and couldn't-be-bothered lyrics finish it off. Thankfully it only last 3 minutes. Send it back to the factory, this is crap.

QuoteGazza The Stones wont be playing the 02 when youre on honeymoon. OK, I'm subscribed to the theory that if they are playing the o2 this year it will be on one or more of these dates: 25, 27, 29 November. That is 7 weeks from now. If they leave the announcement to the film thingy that will be 6 weeks notice. It's still enough time for folks to plan a trip, not totally unreasonab

I shall take the Gazza challenge. A quick dink to the o2 site reveals the following gaps: 31/10 - 4/11 18-11 - 21/11 7/12 - 10/1

Quotewildwildhorses I am not a Beatles fan at all, just don`t like their sound and don`t like the whole image thing they have.all that goody good crap. But to be fair to them, that image is 50 years old and they're kinda stuck with it! They just never really challenged it (maybe apart from John) and it now defines them.

Am I the only one to wonder if this is true or not. We're in September, there's no confirmation and they expect to shift tour tickets only 2 months in advance? I'm in a good spot, I live in London and can/will travel to NY at short notice. But I don't think I am typical of all fans in that respect. Too bad for many fans who won't be able to pull a trip togther at short
Forum: Tell Me

The Beatles do nothing for me, I usually cringe when I hear them and always change channel if they come on. There's undoubtedly some good stuff, but I have a loathing that is now too ingrained for me to take a peek. We're lucky to have the Stones. They still record, tour and do projects, which makes them more interesting.

I suppose John McEnroe playing bass with the Pretenders at MSG (2002?) was a "fond" moment, but hardly a highlight. Bon Jovi in the belting rain at Longchamps, Paris (1995) is certainly my wettest support band memory
Forum: Tell Me

What is your favourite support band memories from a Stones gig? I have 2 that ended up defining a tour more than the Stones themselves: 1. Sheryl Crow: if it makes you happy - reminds me of those UK shows on B2B tour in 1999, almost the last days when you had to turn up really early if you wanted to be on the front row 2. Starsailor: silence is easy - brings back happy memories of a fantast

Thanks flacnvinyl, nice insight. I thought it probably was a recent vocal. I think it compares well to DBAS which is obviously a 2010's vocal. I guess I'm surprised that I generally find Mick's 2010's vocals awful, yet somehow really enjoy NSP.
Forum: Tell Me

I love this song, one of the few real gems worthy of opening the vaults. But, I'm not sure whether Mick's vocals are 2010's or 1970's. Anybody know?

Hello, where has this been all my life? Not often I get surprised but I can honestly say I hadn't come across this version until 5 minutes ago. This made me stop and listen. And I loved Mick's after-song address to the crowd, "aawwwright you m** f**s..." #lovingthatsurprisesstillhappen

Next year feels about right for me, it becomes a tour for a reason rather than a reason for a tour. I was hating all that 50th golden anniversary crap anyway, hope that theme is ditched.

Everybody is entitled to their opinion, no point getting defensive or upset by it, waste of time. In fact, I'm beginning to dislike the Stones too.
