I find this all so ironic...the man that once foisted @#$%& Blues, the song an the movie, as art has hit the roof over his daughter posing naked. More proof that the Stones are entertainent and nothing more, they are not social avatars or revolutionaries. And anyone that thinks it is just Mick and that Keith as the rebel would think it was cool for his daughters is just fooling themselves.

OMG MCDDTLC and NO ONE in the group could play with Vibrato...how in the hell did they do it? If only they would have had the sense of you and Open G, they would have hired Taylor, maybe then they would have finally been able to produce art and have survived instead of gasping out with the Last Waltz!

Keith has always draped himself and his hotel rooms in scarves LOL. Certainly you cannot buy into the rough and ready fashion of 78 as anything but a bow to the punk fashion trend of the times. For the sake of reality, he is an entertainer doing whatever he can to appeal to millions. That B2B ankle length animal print coat with sunglasses ( in the dark) , was thatr less Hollywood?

Since Broken English I have been a fan. I think the new CD is great. Kissin' Time was a pleasant surprise, and that haggard voice closing the CD with Somethin' Good was just such a great conflict in content ( bubblegum pop) and presentation (that voice) , I had to listen over and over. I do agree that Times Square on Blazing Aawy is just a tremendously poqwerful and haunting piece, &quo

I agree T&A, unliek what they have done with other well known RNR, I thought they savaged Chantilly Lace, making it at once unrecognizable and unlikeale.

It is ironic that one of the Glimmer Twins , MJ, has stated that he would re-mix the sound for EOMS, the Holy GRail of Stones music.

I must be missing something becuase I have just never been that impressed with the slide work on No Expectations.

To tell the truth I just listened to the boot of the entire Sarstock perfromance, and I am not impressed with Keith at all that night. So he does have his off nights. I have to say when Ron of late has been more in the "spotlight" with his guest spots, he does a a lot better when he cannot hide. I love his work on the Corrs live album from a few years back. Come to think of it, I guess

Hmmm StonesTod, having seen several Licks shows on various continents and listening to a crap load of boots I agree and diagree with you. He did not completely deteriorate on Europe. As the tour progresses I think he became less consistent.

Well Open G , I am finally glad to see you use the three letters "IMO," because it finally shows an understaniding of the truth, it all honestly boils down to opinion.

However, you are at a Stones sight, not a MT sight, so no matter how hard you preach, you will not

The stuff about Ron's involvement in the past is true; with dirty work Keith and Ronnie did much of the work without MJ. In the past ronnie was often much more invloved. Still I totally expect he will be there on the tour and see this (maybe naively) as an effort of Mick and Keith to try and re-capture the old Jagger/Richards magic. Maybe, as they have said, this time the Glimmers are reall

I do question when they plan to involve Ronnie. His total absence is a bit strange, though maybe a good sign. NOW WAIT ALL OF YOU THAT SEE SIGHNS OF MT striding down the halls, what I mean is maybe that Keith and MJ are more aggresively writing together than they have been in a long time. I do not forsee any other guitarist then Wood oppopsite Richards on stage.

It is hard to imagine, but U2 has only reached the careeer length that the Stones had around the 81-82 tour. Will they last another 20 years? I cannot imagine it, and yet I see no signs of strife within the group. If they last another twenty years what will be their legacy? At what level can they continue this seeing that really with evry progressive tour they appear to get bigger? I do not want
Forum: Tell Me

My memorey of the guitar sound on 81 is not as fond as what happend in 78. At least in 78 you could tell what Kieth is playing and what Ronnie plays. In 81, with a few wonderful exceptions, it was almost this monolithic noise that assulted the senses rather than the distinct sound of two guitarists. I still enjoyed the shows, but more for the sake of event than anything musical.

See the whoe thing about this that does not ring true is the picture of John as a victim of Yoko. Yoko got away with nothing that John did not allow, When Yoko followed John into the men's room, it appealed to his sense of the bizarre and in your face need to challenge the status quo as it did hers.

Without Yoko and her "domination" we probably would have lost John many years earlier. Despite all of her new age obssesions, Yoko instilled in John some decency and family values.
