Well anyone that saw the recent MSG, Giants, and Albany shows that thinks Ronnie should depart the Stones is in my humble opinion a complete and utter @#$%^^& idiot. What a dumb thread ? Stop being an armchair critic and get off your fat #$#%^^& arse and go see some shows.

Saw 3 shows on a recent trip to NYC, MSG, Giants and Albany. MSG crowd was the most tame, Giants crowd was more fired up, and at Albany they went completely nuts. The shows were ALL great to the last song, and I have come back home with the broadest of smiles on my chops. I loved every minute of every song in every venue, I have absolutely nothing to criticise and nothing to complain about. FAN b

This program is fabulous, not much in the way of info about the band - mainly great great pictures and some quotes from the guys. I guess they thought that by now most folk would have a reasonable knowledge of their history as a band, that's why they haven't included any of that sort of material. I personally think it's the best tour program in years.

ABUNDANTLY OBVIOUS people. This is gonna happen at most shows. Who other than a @#$%& lunatic is gonna pay thousands of $$$$$$$$$$$$ for FOS seats at most shows, whether stadium or arena ? My advice - which is based on experience - play the waiting game, be persistent, and chances are you WILL get your reward. A friend of mine and I saw CREAM at the Albert Hall in London on opening night, we boug

I find myself not particularly liking the initial minute or minute and a half of some songs (Rough Justice and Oh No Not You Again are two that spring to mind) - but then really liking them as they warm up. Strange really. But overall, highly listenable to - and I think it will very much be one of those albums that will grow on me over time. I absolutely love She Saw Me Coming

Interesting view there Debra, I happened to be visting cousins in NJ last year and was actually there on polling day. We all went round to a friend's house and rather like the rest of the States was probably doing that evening - huddled round the TV to watch the results come in. I hasten to add that this was a Democrat household. The thing that I noticed as it became obvious that the Repu

There's 4 of us jumping on a plane a week tomorrow and coming over to NYC to see three shows, MSG, Giants and Albany. We went to the IMAX cinema here in London yesterday to see the movie "Stones at the Max", all for the purpose of getting in the mood. Or perhaps I should say ....... even MORE in the mood !! Talk about being psyched. That's a bit of an understatement. We

Yes, you're right I also copped something on the news about bad concrete or air bubbles in it - something like that anyway. Whatever the problem is, it invariably translates to "probable delays". Typical !!

Did anyone hear the BBC Radio 2 programmes about the Stones recently, on last Saturday and Bank Holiday Monday ? I was a bit disappointed really, I thought there was way too little "interview" and way too much playing of songs (mostly stuff NOT from the new album I hasten to add) in their entirety.

All For your info: A 90-minute concert film showing the Rolling Stones performing in Turin in 1990 will be screened at the London Imax cinema next month. Rolling Stones at the Max shows the band perform 15 songs, including such classics as Satisfaction, Brown Sugar and Start Me Up. The film will play on Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights from 2 September until the end of November. We

It was Chris Evans, and the only reason he had access to the Stones for that interview was because HE was (at the time) Mr Virgin Radio here in the UK - having bought the radio station off Richard Branson. Since then his demise has been spectacular, he lost his grip completely due to a seemingly worsening addiction to booze fuelled bizarre behaviour. At some point he failed to turn up 3 or 4 days

Becx, Count me in if I can be of help. Been a fan since I heard the radio debut of Jumpin Jack Flash when I was 13 years old.

Lucky enough to have seen two out the three London club shows - Brixton and Shepherds Bush Empire, didn't manage to get into the Astoria in 2003 i
