yeah, it is probably a breather, but nobody gives two hoots about who is who in the horn section period. never have. the trombone player does not have everyone clinging to the edge of their seat. also no one really cares about blondie who is the most unnecessary person on the tours. i mean c'mon? playing clavis or guiro? is it really needed? probaby one whole section of the arena is

hey tatters, i was at that show as well at the silverdome in pontiac. i was sitting close to the stage on the side so i didn't know what happened until i left the show. my girlfriend at the time had a pager and was typing messages with her friend. her friend told us that this guy went splat just a few rows in front of her party. it scared the hell out of her. there's somethi

this is an absolute terrible name for a new album. especially when you have done one in 8 years. it seems unlikely the stones would want to lean in any particular political direction to turn off any possible income by venting opinions. i certainly hope this is just a rumour. i think i liked the 'manhattan beach' idea better.

Hey man, being in a band is tough work regardless if it's your own material or cover songs. in fact, the more challenging of the two at least as far as playing the material is doing the covers, which is what we're doing right now. so many people are so used to hearing songs played the way it is on record. the challenge is: to play these songs as perfect as possible in 1 take, whi

I agree with you guys, i think 10-12 is more than ample for an album. Because of fillers and just plain audio fatigue. It's much easier to get into an album that is about 45 min as opposed to longer. All of their classic releases were about 40-45 min and we regard them very highly. Save some of the others for B-sides down the line.

You'd think with all the health warnings and his desire to rock and play music that this guy would get it together! I mean, how many guitar players out there of many ages would love his job? But maybe Ron is depressed. Mick and Keith have quite a strangle hold on the writing and creative process, and Ron, much like Brian, Mick T or Bill doesn't stand a chance. And, i think that&

there are still other juicy obscene tunes to choose from too, like: feel on baby, pretty beat up, all the way down, jump on top of me,sex drive, so young...as well as the early stuff like 'i'm a king bee.' hey, wait a minute, these are some of my favorite tunes! I like the stones when they get down and dirty.

Yes, Jump On Top Of Me was on the imported CD single of You Got Me Rocking with 2 dance remakes of YGMR. The cover is purple-ish with a devil character on it. I can't wait to hear something new!!

When i bought this CD in November of 1998 i was pleasantly surprised how upfront the guitars...(um, Keith's at least) was in the mix. I also really liked the different song selection on it with the inclusion of tracks like 'Flip The Switch', 'Corinna', 'Sister Morphine' (nice slide bits by Ron) and 'Respectable' amongst others. But, after the deb
