QuoteHairball Quotestone66 Speaking of hindsight, you may take it for granted the "greatness" of Mozart, Bach, and Beethoven, but in their working lives they were nothing special. Each in his own time was just another composer. Not quite true - they were all highly regarded and respected in their lifetimes. Mozart ...was so highly regarded and famous that he was buried in an ano

Allow me to try and explain myself more clearly if I can, as it wasn't my intention of putting people on the defensive on a Stones forum regarding cultural perceptions of their favorite band. In those responding to my post, they again used qualifying terms like "great" and "greater", which are measures of opinion rooted in personal appreciation. What I was getting a

There are a lot of qualifying terms here, both in the article in the OP and in the posts that follow: "best"; "better"; "bigger"; "acclaimed"... all opinions trying to prop themselves up as definitive fact, and all emanating from a biased core fan base attempting to project its present moment into the future to speak for those who are yet to be born, like a

QuoteTooTough Quotestone66 It's a funny day when the lead singers of INXS, Led Zeppelin, and Boomtown Rats all look the same age as Bill Wyman, or is Bill Wyman looking even younger? Perhaps Bill Wyman found the stairway to heaven because he doesn't like Mondays, and for that reason he don't change. But the lead singer of INXS is dead. Boy, is my face Simply Red.

The most important thing to consider is this: 1) We are talking now about the end of the performing/touring days of the Stones because of what some fat cat millionaire supposedly said before a crowd of hundreds (as quoted by a dubious lowbrow tabloid). a) Was anyone there that heard that for certain and could verify it? b) Has Mr. Krafty been contacted for a follow-up to verify this as f

For those not in the know, the Boston Herald, like the New York Post and London's Daily Mail, is a lowbrow tabloid that was once owned by Rupert Murdoch.

Actually, saying that this is a "Boston" gig is incorrect -- the gig is in Foxborough, Massachusetts, which is 30 miles to the southwest. By comparison, if you travel 30 miles southwest from London, you will find yourself in Camberley (31 miles to be exact), a town in Surrey. Thirty miles southwest from New York City lands you in New Jersey (hell, 4 miles from New York City finds yo

The show is going to be on the field, as in outdoors? But it will be 43 degrees (6.11 Celsius). Can anyone rent a private helicopter to scope? Maybe if all Periscopers pitch in... Or maybe a blimp, as that would be less noisy and conspicuous. Sooner or later, there's got to be a boot from at least one of these private shindigs.

I've only heard the live version of Fool, but that's neither here nor there. What is here is the topic of this thread, which is See You Go, and my first impression still stands. I wonder how this would have sounded if recorded in 1981 instead, whether Keith would have settled for such a watered down sound. Then again, perhaps there is just something about Chicago style blues that I don&

Soundwise, this song reminds me of the way the Stones would choreograph themselves on stage in more recent tours -- Mick way up front, with voice and harmonica/harp taking up most of the sonic spectrum, the two little guitarists in back and off to either side, and Charlie way in back with the mechanical mid-tempo, though with the bass drum having more effect than his usually insistent snare... an
