QuoteShawn20 QuoteSend It To me Biggest leap forward ever. Mick didn't even sing in 81, he had mouth seizures. I agree with the biggest leap thesis. I saw two of the 81 shows. My last 81 show was the 87,500 night at the Superdome. The next Stones' show I saw was the 89 Steel Wheels' show at the same dome. Miles apart - not even close. I thought it was a triumph. Better sta

One can wish all they want for the Stones to tour or at leat do afew gigs in honor of their 50th but a Rollings Stones gig without Keith being able to play is no Stones gig at all in my view.

QuoteKoen Do you really think MJ and the other Stones care what Keith writes in his book? They are all grown men, and had to deal with (British) tabloids for almost 50 years saying much worse things. I think everyone is taking it waaaay too seriously, looking for small details (no pun) and blowing it up (again, no pun). I thought it was an honest, candid book, Keith is speaking from his guts,

I was sent an original copy of this Mickboy remaster by a fellow collector and unfortunately the first few tracks off this disc do not play on my CD player- even after repeated cleaning. I love this two disc set and would like to have a replacement. Can someone point me in the direction of how I can track down a new copy. Much appreciated. Thanks, Scott...

QuoteSilver Dagger Simply the greatest pop song of all time. The beginning of garage punk, rock and punk itself - all can be traced down to this one incredible gem of a song.
