Quotefrankotero 24FPS, great point about political correctness. It's getting far out of hand, keeping in mind we are entitled to our opinions, thoughts and beliefs. But like everything else there's something called balance and reality. Did we learn nothing from the past. In the late 80s I lived with an Indian girl. (Hindu type Indian) On Sunday nights we would have her family over, di

That's an interesting choice. I love Rocks Off. When Bill's bass booms in we're off to the races, along with his rhythm mate, Charles Robert Watts. Nicky's tinkling piano, and Mick's muddy vocals. Damn. And when those horns kick in, it's the Stones at their highest level. Those lyrics often travel through my brain. You'd think it would have been a single, but it

QuotePaul Kersey I'd like to see Paris 1976 released. DVD and CD please. Wonder why this hasn't been done yet? If we're just talking studio albums the IORR or Black and Blue.

I remember when Paul McCartney got busted for pot in Japan. I believe he said something to the effect, "There is no bad publicity." Which I mostly agree with. I don't know whether the Stones made a conscious decision not to play Brown Sugar, or just took it out of rotation. Maybe they're getting sensitive in their old age. I'm pretty liberal, but I'm getting real tir

Has Cheltenham finally forgiven him his hell raising ways BEFORE he left? They'll probably build a statue someday when they want to attract tourists. Like Steinbeck in Salinas, California. Hate him alive, love him dead. Can you tell me where the Brian Jones Gift Shop is?

QuoteGreen Lady See here (thanks 24FPS): Thanks. It's been eight years since I posted that interview with Keith. It seems more real, closed to the bone, since it was only two years since Brian had passed. Keith sounds more affectionate towards his old weaving buddy. I wondered what bored Brian so much about the guitar that he laid it down pretty early on? I wonder if he could actually

Quirkier than Satanic Majesties? I just listened to that thing in surround sound. It's of its time, and parts of it are ahead of its time. I'm starting to hear more. Emotional Rescue has duds like Let Me Go, Summer Romance, Sent It To Me, and Down in the Hole. It raises its grade to a B with the title track, Dance, Indian Girl, and the wonderful She's So Cold. Not a great album

QuoteTheflyingDutchman I think that Keith has learned what not to play, a very smart move. As long as the rudiments are there he sounds like Keith. Sometimes less is more, certainly when you get older. I think you nailed it. He's obviously not the Keith of 1999, but he's better than the mummy version of 2012 where he could barely move during the pay per view concert.

Brian was the spark that ignited the Rolling Stones, the forces that got them off the ground. The one who gathered players together for an R&B band. The musician who was ahead of them. Charlie said as much. Bill knows it. That he screwed up later is no excuse to rewrite history.

Quotestonesstein Never liked this song. Though not as bad as Indian Girl (*wretch*), it is definitely not up to Stones-par, IMHO. perhaps it best epitomizes how and why Emotional Rescue is recognized a being among the quirkiest of Stones' original LPs Quirkier than Satanic Majesties?

Thought it just didn't work. It helped add to the less than stellar reputation of the Emotional Rescue album. Kind of like Goats Head Soup following Exile, ER followed the immensely popular, and last great Stones album of new songs, Some Girls. Then again, I love Indian Girl, and some people lose their lunch over it.

Noticed a big price discrepancy between tickets for the 14th and the 17th. (More expensive for the 17th.) Also a couple sections for the 14th have come down a bit in price. And there are tons of tickets left for the 14th. Yet they haven't opened up the Lucky Dips again. Forget scalpers. Just go to the box office night of the concert and sit where you can afford, minus Ticketmaster fees.
