I did not see Cohen at Glastonbury, but I did see him at The O2.... It was magical! It was an emotional experience! Why do some people get so competitive, and upset about music? I do not like Orbital, (and yes, I have seen them) but if someone else loves them, great. It's not football where you have to support your team, do or die... It's music! I also saw Wilson at the RFH a few yea

QuoteHis Majesty QuoteTorres There are a lot of macho men among stones fans, who can't deal very well with the androgynous Mick of those times. These videos are so cool to watch, and Billy was such an artist. The crazy moves were basically a provocation, nothing more. And after all these years, we can see from some reactions here that the provocative effect still works, people still feel

Sounds damn funky to me! As for Hey Negrita... What a groove! I find Mick and Billys dancing to be rather amusing, and I'm sure that was the idea! It's even funnier when some are so unsettled by it!

It's so he can hear that awful backing track that they, for some reason have used for twenty plus years. Who knows why, it really helps give the song a plodding monotonous feel!

What a surprise! The tickets they could not sell for rip off prices on the secondary market now magically go back on sale. What a scam! If there are mugs out there that buy them though, they will get away with it time and time again! Wait till the last minute dummies! You will get a very good ticket for less than face value!

For me, the rooftop performance shows what might have been. They may have gone back to being a Rock n Roll band again, instead of pop.

QuoteDandelionPowderman Well, I get a glimpse of what's about to happen on LIB on BB already... As anyone with ears does! The two albums compliment each other very well. This transition that HM speaks of has nothing to do with either Jones or Taylor, as neither one of them contributed much to either BB or LIB. The sound of The Band changed on BB, that is where the transition took place,

QuoteHis Majesty Quotestrat72 Your suggestion that Let it Bleed is a weird, incomplete and transitional album is laughable. It is in no way weird. (GHS is weird, and all the better for it) It is in no way incomplete. It is as complete as any great album can be. It also fits perfectly between the album it follows (Bb) and the album it procedes (SF) and thus, is in no way transitional! You lum

Quoteshawnriffhard1 Not sure how TW is a put on. To me, he is the greatest artist of his time. Since his first album in 1973, I don't think anyone has out paced him with the exception of Led Zeppelin. His songwriting has been incredibly satisfying to my ears, mind and soul equally. I've never felt let down by any of his albums, although The Black Rider came close. I had the pleasur

I always liked that recording, although found the screaming a major drawback. It just goes to show that the Beatles were once a real rock n roll band.

Quotetomk I think you'd be surprised at how many people, myself included, got turned on to the Stones because of GHS. Don't think you could say that about Emotional Rescue, though. Your right, so many Stones fans have a lot of affection for GHS. It's a effed up little rock n roll record. Emotional Rescue tends to get lumped together with Satanic and Dirty Work as being amongst

QuoteHis Majesty No, it is far too uninspired in comparison to nearly every UK stones album that came before.

Quotestonehearted I will still maintain that their live peak was 1989/1990.

And, as Pete Townshend observed, "Charlie Watts drove that band like a Porsche." Without a shadow of a doubt the worst guit
