I'm not kidding! Thi Corriere della Sera is one of the most important Italian news papers. I just saw this article. The article is about Virgin not wanting NeoCon on ABB. It says that fans reacted bitterly to the rumour. «Non è una questione di "aria fritta politica" - scrive Gazza - una band così non deve né accettare censure, né autocensurarsi soprattutto su u

Gazza: You don't get it! You have every right in the world to dislike the BC's music. Personally I find artists of the calibre of Clapton, Pink Floyd, Macca EXTEREMELY boring and dull. But I wouldn't dare say they were not talented, or that they did not have "classic hist". Fact is that also the BC have very strong numbers in their list (and that you don

You must be all nuts! What does it mean that the BC don't have "classic songs"? They are the ONLY current band to be able to ADD classics to the all time r'n'r big hits list. Remedy alone made me cry for a miracle! Amorica and Snakes are in the list of the best rock and roll albums made in the last 20 years. People complain about the war horses set lists of the

This links to a thread below on the best Stones works. I would truly like your cd/record players answer to this one! I am sure we would have big surprises. My player would say that Undercover, Now, Buttons, and Tattoo have been played thousands times more than the "big 4". It would also say that Still Life overplays YaYas!

I don't hear a sax on Melody, but I wouldn't bet my balls there are none! BTW, is live with me the first song featuring a sax? I know BJ could play sax, but I can't remember hearing him anywhere. Further: Bobby Keys last take on a stones LP was All About You, almost 25 years ago! C

Article on the Stones (first time ever?) on the popular Italian sports newspaper "gazzetta dello sport" (aka "gazza"). Allegedly the Stones' performance was not "live" because ABC feard possible "anti-Bush" statements during the act.

I haven't heard Keith using so much distortion in studio since 999. It was a surprise! On Licks tour Keith's guitars were absolutely clean, to the point that many here complained that they sounded too thin. As far as I can tell from the Boston opening show, despite what we heard at the PC gig, the sound of the BB tour is very similar to Licks'. What happened in France?
