Charts mean nothing nowadays as singles hardly sell anymore. Artists often don't even produce singles and videos anymore. MTV is only a real life soap channel/life style channel and people listen to songs on the radio or download them, watch them on Youtube with often fan produced clips or whatever. It's a totally different age. The music industry is struggling HARD and doesn't kno

Problem is that a unreleased songs release is only for a relatively small group of fans that you cannot build a tour on. Next year will be the start of the 50th Anniversary in 2012 and around that time the "including one new album deal" should be fulfilled I think. Jagger would be 69 by then so time's running out. That will surely be their last album and tour to follow but I think

Quotemitchflorida They may be successful in Europe. In America, no one has ever heard of them. That was my point. The Rolling Stones are/were popular everywhere in the world. Let's not put the Rolling Stones and Status Quo in the same category, please! That's the problem with many (read carefully I do NOT generalise) Americans, to them America is the World and well I gotta tell

One hit? Fight? Dirty Work? Had It With You? Sleep Tonight is a beauty? It's like Jagger's solo album a bit sometimes but rawer and dirtier and I was one of those people who happen to love Jagger's solo albums, especially Wandering Spirit which was, in my opinion, together with Keith's first solo album the best STONES album since well...ages ha ha ha ha

To be honest...it's a shame people paying that much money for a CD, a 7"single or a concert ticket. See my Live Aid discussion but people die of starvation and "we" are so rich and bored to death that we try to get fun out of life by buying items for LOTS of money that we don't need. Singles we NEVER play, we only put in display or whatever. I never was that way but maybe

Geldoff recruited all these artists by heart and the project came FROM his heart. He thought he could cause THAT revolution. Not for his own glory but for the people of Ethiopia/Africa and you know what, he still does to this very day! Also he's still recording, he recently released an anothology box and his new album will be out in September followed by a small tour of Europe!
