QuoteIrix The Rolling Stones' 82,000 capacity 2017 venue in Hamburg Stadtpark was temporary as well - . Yeah. And its building time was just 10 days. The last 3 days in a row Mick was there to have a look on the final building process. Weather was much of rain and cold through the day. But only until soundcheck. A boy from Dartford and his Rainstick appeared. And the sun came out and

1981/1982 the Stones established their status as Biggest stadium act in history so far. In 81/82 there was no stadium filling U2 yet. No Michael Jackson. No Prince. No Coldplay. No Beyoncé. No Lady Gaga. etc. And when they all came and when some already went the Stones through all those decades filled stadiums tour by tour by tour. An old mighty eagle that doesn't stop to fly. Until

I met Peter Wolf in Hamburg in 1984 doing an interview with him when he was promoting his first solo album Lights Out. Being a 120% Stones Fan I was also open to any music.

But of course we startet to talk about the Stones, his dedication to Mick etc. Then he made a stop and went like: "Hey why we gonn

QuoteTestify This whole audition thing always seemed ridiculous to me. They wanted to finish their album and needed some guitar contributions, that was an excuse to get these "collaborations" for free.

QuoteThe Worst. Everyone knows there are better guitar players out there than Ronnie, and everyone knows no one was a better fit for the Stones than Ronnie at the time (and since). There's been sour grapes and bitter remarks from Jeff Beck, Harvey Mandel and to some extent Eric Clapton and others for decades now. Yes we get it, you are better guitar players - but you are not a better fit for

The Stones/Mick was looking for two aspects: a good guitar player with a face girls like to look at, a handsome, sexy personality. Brian left a big hole there. Mick filled it with a young genius looking like an blond angel. When Taylor left they needed someone who can do several jobs in one: Playing guitar well.

I met Mick at Christmas 1996 in London at Harrod's in he sport section on 5thfloor. He was with Darryl Jones and tried on some Reebok shirts in the middle of the floor. We shaked hands and even talked a while. Mostly about the Stones club gig Paris at the Olympia on the last tour. I was there with my wife and through some circumstances we ended up in the Stones Family section with Jerry Hall

I saw them in the US for the first time at Madison Garden 2003 January 18. It was part of the licks tour. The New York audience is always wild. Much more wilder then in L.A. So MSG was very much like Europe. The Bigger Bang Tour Opener 2005 at Boston's Fenway Park was much more cooler, calmer and collected. So I think, like in Europe it depends on cities. So in Germany Munich is quiet

There will be a whole Europe Tour with 14-16 Dates. As I learned through the years and as the most of you know a tour with any band doesn‘t shape around the ideas and wishes where the band like to play and travel to. A tour forms itself by the bids the concert-promoters do. If you are ready to pay the 7 million fee to the Stones and you have all set incl. ticket handling, venue booking, staff, or
