Crikey,people falling out over Stones re-issues that have just replaced the previous label on the store shelves. The Stones seem to create havoc with their fans even when they do nothing which is what this re-issue really is. Universal have paid a token amount for the 71 onwards back catalogue so the Stones will not add any extra's to these albums. Lets not take this issue seriously by wr

This is not a new topic but is pretty realisic. Mick is now 65 going on 40 but Keith is 64 go ing on perhaps 100 but should be asleep rather than here.

They cannot be compared with the 'Stones or the 'Beatle's and yet they as far as the younger generation is concerned they are comparible. There is nothing wrong with this as whence i was a teenager i had my own heroes and laughed at critism of them by my older peers.

Releasing Penny Lane/Strawberry Fields as a double 'A' side prevented the 'Beatles' from having a No1 single in the U.K.. In the mid 60's the sales of a double 'A' side single were halved and this allowed 'Engelbert Humperdink' to take No 1 spot with Please Release Me.

Have not seen any footage of 'Gimme Little Drink' from 5/7/69 which was later changed to Loving Cup appearing on 'EOMS' in 1972. Its unlikey to surface as as was filmed by 'Granada ' TV and would have been edited to less than 60 minutes which will account for some songs going missing.

If a world tour comes off this will be dangerous territory for Plant/Page and co. Apart from the effort that their bodies will be put thru physical in at least 3 concerts per week they will have to sustain a high level of performance throughout the tour or be savaged by critics and fans. This is a lot harder than what everyone thinks but when the big bucks are offered along with massaging egos

Gazza - the cost of hauling the heavy 'Steel Wheels' set around Europe was prohibitive so lighter frame 'Urban Jungle ' design was used which was also easier to transport around the various locations.

With sssoul the troubadour line could mean many things but this is the most likely - Mick was not referring to the Beatles whose songs and actions contributed to the great hippie trail searching for enlightenment on the Indian subcontinent.

Do you know what troubadours are? They were traveling story tellers/singers/musicians who would travel from town to town, performing for donations. Usually along pilgrimage routes so that they could perform to pilgrims. It was not a safe job since bandits and thieves would look for victims along roads That may be what Mick refers to when he states I laid traps for troubadours who got killed b

Ask yourself the question who has not heard of the 'Rolling Stones' They are certainly not underated but it is true that the musical styles they encompass such as blues,country,dance and rock and roll are not to everyones taste .

1968-1972 was the 'Stones' at their most creative and song writing best. Beggars,Banquet,Let it Bleed,Sticky Fingers & EOMS. What a quartet of albums with exceptional songs on them that the skinny english cats rely on when playing most often in live concert. If forced to select a best song from Let it Bleed then the haunting 'Gimme Shelter' has never been surpassed.

Hard to believe that Rolled Gold has sold 100k in th UK in 6 weeks and will shortly overtake ABB. This album is a slightly different slant on Hot Rocks but again its a 'Stones' greatest hits complilation with almost the same songs being recyled.

Mick Jagger is one of rock's most underrated lyricists. Monkey Man, from 1969's Let It Bleed, is perhaps his funniest moment. Playing up to the group's increasingly degenerate image, he sings mockingly, "I'm a fleabit, peanut monkey / All my friends are junkies / Well, that's not really true." Or was it?
