The best ever pianist in rock, for sure. I read the German version of this book: It's just amazing, giving many impressions of Nicky Hopkins, who Charlie states as "true genius" (Exhibitionism)

Raising awareness is not a bad thing at all. But who should be directed to the problem? Who are the addressees to do what? Donating money is also a good thing. The problem is that the money hardly arrives at those who need it. Finally, governments, i.e. taxpayers, take over the huge part of financing. I see you didn't see my point ... you're not Europe based, are you?

Who of the famous and rich people really get involved in this refugee topic? Who of them works in camps, tries to find jobs, organizes and solves every day problems such as broken lavatories, water provision, food organization, violence ending etc. They can all be acting cool behind their sunglasses and big walls of wealth and protection. They can easily donate some thousands of dollars, there

Can anyone help?

Sorry guys for a thread that's got nothing to do with the Stones. I'm urgently searching the lyrics of "It's The End Of The Road" by Ty Taylor. Can anyone help? Sorry again for misusing the forum for this ....

Next year will see Aerosmith and Guns'N Roses in Europe in early summer. In the case, the Stones plan to tour Europe they will certainly choose dates in mid or later summer ... That's what I guess. Anyway, hope to see them next year in Germany. Any place, any time.

I was filmed in Hyde Park 2013. The camera team focussed on my Stones tattoo, which can be seen in the official Sweet Summer Sun DVD/BR. It's shown shortly after Ruby Tuesday :-)

The basic riff is related to Martha and the Vandellas "Dancing In The Street". At least, Keith once stated that.

QuoteRoadster32 Strong advise: Don't go there on the opening day, or you will be crushed. No fun!!! In London we spent at least half an hour for the first 20 meters inside. Wait a few days or better a few weeks and you'll feel nice and comfy inside with easy access to all the things displayed. I do agree! A friend of mine and me went to the London exhibition in middle August

It's one of the few bright spots on Satanic. If all songs had the quality of tracks such as Light Years, She's A Rainbow or 2000 Man, it could've been a great album. Unfortunenately, weak songs are the majority. For God's sake they produced Beggars Banquet afterwards ...

I do agree. It's an excellent show from an excellent band. Those were the days when I witnessed them several times, unfortunately never in one of those small club venues. Lucky guys who were there.

Dear Mark, I've got a seven-year-old son and can't imagine what I would be doing if I lost him. This tragic loss cannot be felt by someone else but the one affected. My thoughts are with you and your family. It's an extraordinary and incredible step to share your feelings with all of us here. If the Stones´ music is of any help through these dark times let it be with you.

Basically, I like the song. BUT: production's poor, i.e. if they had grown on it, ot could have become a jewel. As Keith states: "it's all Mick'. I assume he already had in mind how the song should be recorded. It's a pity they don't work like in the old days any longer ...

Bought the VHS version back in 1990. It's great fun watching it, although some videos are cut. But the story around all videos is quite amazing.

Mixed Emotions is quite a good rocking song as far as studio recording is concerned. But IMO it never really worked on stage. It's not featured on "Flashpoint" and never made it to the setlists after 1990, unlike e.g. "Rock and A Hard Place". I guess Mick never liked to do it live due to its high-pitch singing. It's just one of those songs, that fit in a specific
