Justin: Your equation is probably about right! I know this matter has been discussed over and over; but I have never actually heard Mick or Keith commenting on it.

Has anyone ever asked Mick or Keith why they still do so many warhorses? And why they (the warhorses) sound the same from concert to concert? Through the years I have a developed an allergy against them. Am I the only one? If there will be a new tour: Do you think half (or more) of the setlists will consist of warhorses this time around too?

I think that this has been a case of mis- or disinformation. Markus never said that Keith was drunk. Keith even wrote Markus a letter claiming an apology. Markus answered the letter (as can be read in Svartmers link above, in swedish though). Basically I think someone at EMA-Telstar got angry with the luke-warm reviews (in many papers), remember this is big business ( 56 000 x approx 500 SEK (50

Totally agree, Honestman. I heard Wyman speaking in radio-interview prior to the Ullevi (Gothenburg) concert, 1982, saying that if the rhythm section is right everything is right, they (rest of the band) can do whatever they want after that. Funily enough, Bill understands (but don't speak) swedish (he was married to a swedish woman - Astrid). I love Ernie Watts' sax, he really adds to

I never understood Mick's interests in Film. I mean - is he really a cineast? What films does he like? The ones he has produced hasn't contributed to the arts of cinematography that much, I think.

Really funny, BB! I mean that! Bet this one would sell more than the official merchandise! Maybe Markus should earn royalties on it!

Which band. The Blushing Brides or Rocks Off? Or both?

I know, hbwriter. But they (cover bands) can be more or less good. Or pathetic if you prefer that. Can someone help me with this: When I copy a video on youtube and pastes it it turns out double. Why?

The best ever Rolling Stones cover-band I have heard is "Rocks Off" from Sweden. The singer won a "Mick Jagger look/sing-alike contest" before the European premiere of the 1995 Stones-tour in Stockholm.

If there will be a tour, isn't this the way they normally handle things: A. Record release aug. 2011 B. Tour North America, sep. 2011 - jan. 2012 C. Tour Japan, Australia, South-East Asia, march-april 2012 D. Tour Europe, summer 2012.

The only Stones-dvd that I watch with some regularity these days is the second dvd from Four Flicks (MSG, NY 2003). Seems to me that indoor-stadiums is the best arena for The Stones. "When the whip comes down" from that concert is simply stunning! I have "Let's spend.." on VHS and it has been collecting dust for decades... .

Thanks for the kind word, Doxa. It was a local union-representative at Aftonbladet who said something like that (I don't remember the exact words) in the beginning of this "affair". The whole interview, word by word, you can find here: . It's in swedish though, I don't know if you are "finlandssvensk" or not. If not maybe it's all greek to you? Funily enoug

Mr Addict: Thanks for your (inside?) information, I stand corrected. I was just quoting Mr Larsson though. He said that his bit was intended to last 30 minutes but he only got 17. Can I make some comments about what's been said here and , maybe, straighten something out? 1. Markus didn't decide to go to Paris, his boss sent him there. 2. Markus never had something personal against Keith

Markus says that he was hit on the head if you listen to the whole clip on Aftonbladet - "The Schulman Show". Very mildly though, he says. He also says that he has no intention of sueing him (Keith). A journalist union has made a couple of sharp statements on the subject though (they dont't accept violence or threats against any journalist).

MadMax: That kind of language (your first sentence) is simply improper on this board (or any board).

We can all have opinions on how good a journalist Markus is, but to call him a moron or an idiot is just - idiotic!

Björnulf: Perhaps it's a different situation in Norway. You are lucky then. In Sweden we have very few pop/rock (or even film or entertainment)-journalist who are +40 years old. Pop/rock/entertainment are supposed to be for kids or adults. It's a sign of the times. As I said earlier: they could have sent Tore Börjesson (who is about 50 years old ) and a living Stones-encyclopedia - but

The clip is hilarious though! I couldn't help myself laughing. Look att the expression from Jonas Gardell (a well known swedish writer and comedian)! Markus even laughs at himself (he's ashamed of his "swenglish" pronunciation). This was only the last question. I have read the whole interview and it wasn't that bad att all. He asks Keith why he hardly mentions Bill in the

Björnulf: To answer your question on page 11. The pop-journalists on Aftonbladet (or Expressen, probably Verdens Gang too...) are born in the late 70-ties or the 80-ties. They don´t care about The Rolling Stones or classic rock at all (Springsteen is an exception though, for some reason...). Markus Larsson was brought up on hardrock (heavy metal etc) and never listened to classic rock. These days

This is making a hen out of a feather. There's really no need to stir up emotions about this (or leave the board, come on Doxa you know better than this!). It's classic tabloid-journalism. Markus Larsson doesn't know a shit about the Rolling Stones. The entertainment-section on Aftonbladet consists of kids or juvenils: to them the Rolling Stones is a museum-piece, something their p

Aftonbladet and Expressen are the two biggest tabloids in Sweden, I read them every day on the net. The thing is that Aftonbladet have "entertainment-journalists" that are big Stones-afficionados like Robert Börjesson per example. He would have loved to travel to Paris to interview Keith Richards. Instead they send Markus Larsson who knows nothing about the Stones and doesn't care
