A quote from a Los Angels Times interview from 2022: Damon Albarn: ‘ Not to say that I didn’t absolutely love the Rolling Stones in their heyday — they were magnificent. But do other stuff in your life. Singing (I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction when you’re pushing 80? Come on.' So,look, he does appreciate the Stones’ greatness. I’m sure he’s a fan and admirer of the music produced during t

I love the idea of devoting your life to one thing, in search of the sublime. But the truth is, they’ve become worse.” “Worse at persisting to stay them

QuotePaddy Damon’s always been a bit of a tit he has that whole mockney thing going on. Exactly! He may have been born in London, but he was raised in Colchester! He’s an Essex lad, just like his great collaborator, Graham Coxon; who, by the way, was the real talent in Blur. Great, innovative guitarist.

I think filiflam is referring to arenas; not stadiums that have a roof. I don’t think the Stones will play arenas on a regular basis again, as it’ll mean having to perform more shows. Either that, or the prices will be unaffordable for too many. The stones want to perform to as many people as possible, whilst doing as fewer shows as they can. That’s why they perform stadiums, only.

Don’t Stop will surely go down as one of the most minor of entries in the Stones’ song-writing cannon. Yes, it was performed throughout the 2002-’03 tour, and with 40 Licks’ huge sale, millions would’ve heard it; or at least granted it a cursory listen. However, it charted poorly, and it certainly wasn’t what the public – other than the avid Stones fan – purchased the compilation for. I happen to

Not to purposely turn this into a discussion about Keith’s arthritis, but Ronnie has been far more prominent, in my opinion, since Blue & Lonesome. He’s taking more the solo-spots and feels more of a domineering influence over the Stones’ overall guitar-sound. This is only a good thing, as it is long being evident that Ronnie is, still, quite the tasty player. His solo on the recent live rend
