There's only very few bands left that started in the 60's and are still touring. Of course The Rolling Stones are. There is a lot of footage on this board that give us a hint of their abilities. How are the others doing? Roger Waters gathered a complete orchestra of young (well, some are not that young) players around him and gives the audience a big show where images are so over

I think the studio version is not really well received, because it is the opener of the album. After having albums starting with some of the greatest tracks ever composed, the "voodoo riff" was not really grabbing the listener by the balls, like an opener is supposed to do. If the song would have swapped places with Heartbreaker in the tracklist of GHS, maybe it would have gained m

I don't remember they toured Europe this late in the year before, and judging by the youtube videos, I must say it is really cool to see them starting after daylight is gone. The big screens, the fireworks, the lighting, it all creates a great atmosphere right from the start.

It's not a poll I would send UN Verification Mission for observations to, but there might be some truth that the song vote is just a scheme to trick people into giving their e-mail adress. I guess the influence on the setlist is pretty low and they've already picked their choice. Not that I mind, as long as they play Rocks Off every once in a while. And Bitch too!

I have learned not to judge the quality of the shows by watching youtube-clips. But damn, have I been impressed by what I saw! I am really looking forward to the show in Amsterdam, 19 days from now. Hope Trust they'll be as amazing as they appeared to be in Hamburg.

This is exactly why it is good to get information about rehearsed songs; the adrenaline is flowing through my body like a thunderstorm! Quite some surprises. Please good people, going to the show in Hamburg tomorrow, let them know we looooove surprises like these! And of course, let them know we love them, but you will, I know, you will. .

The Struts opened Paris 2014 for the Stones. Was not really succesful, maybe they learned from that experience. Strange thing happened at the end of their part: the sound was shut off in the middle of their last song and roadies entered the stage to take the gear away. Apparently they exceeded their time slot. That was a "Stonesy" thing to do, I think, not minding about the time slo

It's been pretty common for the band to make their artwork more lousy than previous ones. I thought the gorilla was the lowest point, but they manage to take it one step beyont that. That is quite an achievement. They're still the bad boys they were. Now, let's hope they'll surprise us with shows that are even better than previous ones to compensate for raping the tongue-

QuoteDandelionPowderman Mick played with Charlie for the pre-production of She's The Boss? As the diary is from july 1984, I think it was at the time of the overdubs. Recording sessions for Just another night were in may and june, weren't they?

It's not clear to me if Rabbit left the sessions because of the drinking problems of his girl friend, or because he did not get along with Jagger. He's only credited for synthesizer on Just another night, as far as I know. No other songs. Rabbit toured with Mick Taylor in the 90's didn't he? He's playing on some songs of A Stones' Throw.

We have many recordings of concerts that show us how great the band is playing without any overdubs. We can enjoy those and analyse them to death to hear who is missing a note or beat. Get Yer Ya-Ya's Out! is an album we have to rock out to. Who cares if there are any overdubs? The result is a very great album with revolutionary sound quality and some of the best songs ever written, to

As we don't want no politics on this site, I won't respond to the substance of the lyrics, but reading them, I can hear them either being rapped, or barked out in the way Mick sang in the 80s. But we'll have to wait to hear the actual song before we draw any conclusions about the road Mick has taken.
