The follow-up singles were all taken from albums everybody who was interested in their music had bought already. Only die-hard-completists bought the follow-up singles. No use in buying a single when the song is on an album I have already bought. - Maybe those singles would have peaked higher with a non-album track on the flip-side. But then again - a song like Shattered in fact isn´t worth more

Of course you can say the more tracks on an album the better. You can later cherry pick your 10 favorite songs from a 19-songs album and you would probably have a great album (depending on your personal taste). But on the other hand this "puttin (almost) everything we have on the album" in case of VL, B2B and ABB leads in fact to albums that are seemingly average or subpar. I consid

Thriller is one of Michael Jacksons best known albums and Some Girl is one of the STones´s best known a

I saw the Wembley gig on TV some time ago. He seemed to be sleepwalking, he seemed to be bored with his own music and bored with himself and bored with just anything surrounding him onstage.

None. I´d love to see them drop the acoustic set. It was boring in 1994/95 and is still boring today. They should rotate four ballads, one per night - that´s enough. I prefer them to rock. Please no more boring Let It Bleed/Dead Flowers/Angies.
