Believe it or not, I've never ever seen a "rolling stones tribute band". I've never heard of one even existing here in Milano. Further: I've hardly ever heard a cover band play a stones song, and if so it is only the odd choice satisfaction. C

Loredana Bertè has quite a few problems now, but used to be a truly great singer. I would have loved to hear some of her best songs re-arranged keeping that italian 80's rock sound out of the studio. As far as no. 1 here in Italy is concerned, you reach no. 1 with 20,000 copies sold. C

I had big expectations, Rage were a tight band and Cornell a wonderful singer (try the temple of the dogs cd to understand why) but I have to say that the first cd was quite a let down. Some very good numbers, but all in all it's a mediocre effort. I think that they can think of something better. All songs sound as if cut and paste tool was used alot! I've read good reviews of t

Come on, it ain't that bad! With the only exception of primitive cool, which is almost impossible to listen to, I like quite all of them, with a slight preference for she's the boss.

Re: peppers I've seen them a couple of times live and I have some boots. They can be a great band (the second time I saw them they truly blew me away). Unfortunately the singer, not very talented in the first place, often is out of voice. In studio sex magic & californication were truly great great albums. 1 hot minute was also great (I love navarro's guitar work) but AK'

As far as I have heard Boston, opening night - mediocre aud recording. worth having as a souvenir if you were there The others are somehow slighly better.

I will never understand why Virgin does not release a collection of post 71 singles (including b sides and stuff) as Decca did with the london years.

As a matter of fact there is loads of distortion on ABB. On some trax it could be natural "volume on 11" distortion, but on others it is clearly a processed sound. Don't know if the "processing" is in between guitar and amp (pedal box), is in the amp (therefore no twin) or rather is post-production. Could be: Jagger states that it is all digital recording.

It could also be because odd young rockers in the US have thousands of exciting young rock bands to follow. At least here in Italy there is no souch a rock and roll scene. Lenny Kravitz, Green Day, U2 and, occasionaly, the Stones is all that an odd young rocker could get. C
