QuotestanloveYou people on music forums are unreal. You just can't put up with someone's elses opinion about other musicians. Kind of the pot calling the kettle black -- can't stand it that others hold a high opinion of an artist you don't like. QuotestanloveMore of the typical music forum stuff. It's your opinion that Bowie was a genius and nothing but your opinion.

^^^ So this is the "Tattoo You" of the Rhythm Kings. Still, though, no new action from the studio and nothing live in terms of musical activity related to Bill Wyman. Perhaps he won't make such an announcement, of retirement, and will just continue on being the archivist he's always been.

He's been saying it for years. He said it in a TV interview ahead of the 2012 shows. After the 1989-1990 tours, he admitted that he never liked rock and roll. He's a jazz drummer who wound up in a rock band, but stayed with it because it pays for the wardrobe, the horses, the country gentleman lifestyle, the collection of cars he never drives, etc. But he wouldn't mind it

From what has been posted a page or two ago about the band's priorities, it seems the band realizes where their bread is buttered. A new album will not get them airplay, nor will it add significantly to the set list -- their legacy is already secure, and their concert set lists reflect the music they will be remembered for. It's not like the sessions for Beggar's Banquet, whe

Quotetatters The Yardbirds 2003 album Birdland was their first since 1967's Little Games. 36 years. There were the Box of Frogs albums from 1984 (Jeff Beck as guest on first album) and 1986 (Jimmy Page as guest on Strange Land) -- Dreja, Samwell-Smith, and McCarty didn't have rights to use the Yardbirds name at the time.
