"You're holding the mic stupid" The way rappers, who are mumbling and lipsyncing anyway has spread to other genres to the bane of sound crew everywhere.

QuoteNashvilleBlues QuoteBig Al One More Shot is certainly OK, but Doom & Gloom is terrific, in my opinion. At least, I thought it was upon release. This is the thing: ‘classic’ Stones, I’ll forever revisit, but anything later gets overlooked. I guess you can’t beat their prime. That’s what they’ll be remembered for. It’s the same with Blue & Lonesome. I listened to it repeatedly in the i

Quotegotdablouse Didn't the 2007 tour end with empty sections ? The Stade de France was pretty tarped according to reports I read. Maybe that was blamed on Cohl ? The Rolling Stones regularly played to empty seats since the Voodoo Lounge tour. All part of the biz.

QuoteDoxa QuoteMathijs I think the emphasis on how great Mick is as a businessman is hugely overblown. For the Stones the market is huge, there's only a few promotors that can do these big tours, so negotiating a good deal isn't all that difficult. Mick found out himself that a sell-to market is more important than being a good businessman -he wasn't able to get his solo 1988 Euro

Quotedcba QuoteGasLightStreet It's absolute fantasy that you think Keith has zero to do with the Stones' finances. I think Keith is totally clueless when it comes to basic daily things, and even more or so about managing the band™.

The only thing keeping this from being a true greatest hits album are the garbage new songs. They seem so lazy and lacking in effort. Replacing them with Harlem Shuffle, She's So Cold and Like A Rolling Stone would be an improvement but I haven't even listened to it since 2002 so I can't even say for sure what's on it.
