It's a wonderful film. Bye Bye Johnny is reason alone to track it down.

This is a bit off topic, but sticking with the t-shirt theme. I was once wearing a Tamla Motown top and this girl I was chatting to asked "are they a band?" You see people wearing Stones t-shirts everywhere these days. It's purely a fashion thing and absoloutley nothing to do with liking their music.

I've just been listening to my Ricky Nelson CD and I continue to be amazed with the playing and sound of his guitarist, James Burton. I really think he was ahead of his time. Is anyone else here a fan?

I love the Stone Roses album, but I have to go along with Adrian-L's opinion that they weren’t all that live. I recently purchased The Stone Roses DVD, which features their '89 Blackpool gig in its entirety. To sum it up, it's disappointing. If I were to ever recommend the band to anyone, I'd say get the debut and their Best Of for non-album classics like Sally Cinnamon, Eleph

If we're talking about 40 Licks and it's various omissions, then surely the BIGGEST has to be the non-inclusion of Little Red Rooster. It was their second UK number 1 and not only that; it's probably the only blues number to hit the top-spot ANYWHERE. Now, where do they get off on that? I'd love to hear the boys’ explanation.

I was watching the Buenos Aires DVD this morning and I have to admit, I was impressed with Ronnie’s solo on You Can't Always Get What You Want. Really, I was quite impressed with him throughout the whole show. If ANYTHING, it was Keith who seemed to be having an "off" night. I thought he was lacklustre on quite a few numbers, especially on Rough Justice and dear oh dear, how; after

I just wanted everyone’s opinion as to what they think of this guitar he's been using since the Licks tour. What do you think of it's sound? Does it work well with the Stones songs it's used on and do you think it SUITES Keith himself? It seems to me that, any excuse he has, he brings it out. It seems that it's only on the open tuning numbers that he plays the Telecaster.

I would've thought it MORE likely that they reschedule as opposed to cancelling. London is big draw and no way would they not play they're hometown. They'd have reschedule like they did during the Bridges tour.

Keith defiantly didn’t loose his virginity at the age of 14! Like one or two others have said, he was more likely to have lost it when he was 18-20. It was common in those days to loose it at that age. It is these days, but society has change so much here in England. I think Brian is an exception!
