I enjoyed reading the book a couple of years ago but I was disappointed by the movie.The décor(costumes, houses, gardens etc...) is superbe but to cast non french actors in a story taking place in France during La belle époque was risqué. It's like having a french cast doing a movie on the Italian mafia in New York. I couldn't get into the movie. My favorite scene is the one with Anita;

A couple of days ago I heard on XM radio ZZTop, Billy Gibbons talking about a possibility of him and the Black Keys recording together. I bought the CD "Ättack and Release" of the Black Keys after reading about it on this board and I like it. The song "Äll you ever wanted" has some Stones' grooves to it; there's a guitar lick that reminds me of Moonlight Mile. Good

I almost forgot how good that record was . . . Last listened to it 30 years ago and the CD version sounds amazing. One of my favorite Live album.

Also the best ever "Rock and Roll" shout yelled by Johnny to introd

I try to remain open to today's rock music. But I believe that the great rock and roll music has already be written and played. I have been a fan of rock and roll music(blues,soul,country, R&B,punk,reggae) for the last 38 years, and I get more excited when I discover an "old"song or an"old"band than a current one. I wish the best of luck to the young musicians out the

The thing is; is there $$$ in such a project? On one hand they don't have to go in the studio because the record is already there, but how much "Exiles" can they sell with a tour pushing the greatest double album in rock music? Jagger doesn't seem to agree that Exile is a great record, and that is a problem. Rock and Roll, Mops
Forum: Tell Me

Exile is a great record because the song writing is very good and it happens that the stones unfocused and chaotic times they were in while recording the album produced a collection of songs done in a diversity of musical styles, pretty much exploring the roots of American popular music. That would be great if the Stones could tour and emphasize that their long career allowed them to develop a l

Just read that Aerosmith is going to play Toys in the Attic in its entirety on stage on their tour. The Stones are rumored to go on Tour in 2010 and Universal Records is going to release Exile On Main Street at the end on his year. How much of a selling point covering "Exile" in its entirety on stage could be? If they brainstorm ideas and come up with a good concept for a stage and a sh

Happy Birthday Les! Although he has never trashed hotel rooms or held a bottle of Jack Daniels like others carry a Starbucks coffee cup, Mr Les Paul's contribution to Rock and Roll music was essential.His work on solid body electric guitar and innovative recording techniques such as overdubbing and multi-tracking won him an induction into the R&R Hall of fame.

Mick Jagger is the greatest perfomer alive but when he is on stage singing and dancing, he doesn't seem "to connect" with the public.

The fact that the re-release by Universal records of Exile on Main street has been isolated from the other albums is strange to me. I just read in the last Rolling Stones mag that Iggy Pop "is planning to play shows to celebrate their 1973 masterpiece Row Power. Could it be that the Stones are also planning something similar with Exile for the rumored 2010 Tour. What do you think? Rock and

One of those show being considered(by lots of fans) the best live performance that the Rolling Stones have played in their career that would make a cool extra DVD for Exile. 4 songs from the famous double lp were played that day; Happy, Tumbling Dice, All down the line and Rip this joint.For the DVD sound

"Let's work" the song isn't great at all. At the beginning of is "official" solo career, Mick decided to go "pop" and I think it is embarrasing in regard of what he did with the Rolling Stones in the 60's and 70's. But that was Mick in the 80's.He is really a man with different tastes and (we have been told) personalities. It is shocking that
