It’s interesting reading a little of what people think of green day. There’s quite alit of negativity. It’s good to find people who appreciate them. I’m very interested to delve into some of the background to them …. Surely they can be enjoyed on a number of levels… bubblegum and merely ephemeral.., and on a more interesting level.

Just listening to American idiot, I think it’s great. I remember listening to welcome to paradise song and then dookie when it first came out. I borrowed billet on a bible and watched the dvd …, I thought it was amazing… interesting politics about war etc. Surely American Idiot resonates even more in the post Trump world.

This is great. I really enjoyed it.. I love Charlie. He always makes out he doesn’t enjoy it but the smiles and yes concentration when he’s playing.. he enjoys it!!

I love Eric Burdon’s voice. Possibly one of my favourite songs is House of the rising sun, Great idea to have him guest with the Stones!!

I think I certainly would like Rolling Stones to grow old disgracefully. I think it was 1989 when they were inducted into the hall of fame ?? Pete Townshend mentioned that they should grow old disgracefully..

I had never heard the Brussels affair version.... it’s brilliant.. Incidentally have made a playlist of ladies and gentlemen and Brussels affair side by side. It’s all good stuff but ladies and gentlemen is very muffled sounding compared to Brussels...

Well hello again I would go for in no particular order.. Stealing my Heart Jiving Sister Fanny Start me up( from Sam Jose 99) Gimme Shelter and beast of burden..

Yes I agree I really like Stealing my heart as well. I noticed that they played Dont Stop on licks 2002 tour instead of this one. I would have liked to have heard it live. Another current favourite would be Jiving Sister Fanny... but as people have said only 5?? Favourites change all the time. I think it’s great that we have so many to choose from..

Quotecrawdaddy As a music producer creating ' The Wall of Sound' back in the 60's, was a great sound from so many varied performers.

He deserved to be in prison , and nothing can excuse the awful things he did. This seems to be a good s

Hello everyone, I would like to echo all these thoughts. Thanks bv, a couple of years he dealt very promptly when I needed new password. There is no excuse for death threats... and as mentioned these are not proper fans. I am interested to know more about bv, is he part of the Stones inner circle?
