Just plugged the phone into the amp and listened to it for the first time, at full volume as it is supposed to be listened. No, it is not a masterpiece. No, it will not remembered as the JJF of this century. Fair enough, the "roll" is quite stiff. Still, I like it! Should I join the Bon Jovi forum? C

QuoteFather Ted None of these tracks will ever be played live again (not that they appeared frequently back in 94/95). That's quite telling as to how the band view VL. Well, as a matter of fact, the stones played quite a lot of VL songs during their 94/95 tour. You Got Me Rocking even got close to the status of semi-warhorse C

In 2009 Matteo Sereni, ex goalkeeper, played for Torino and Ipswich Town among the others, and his wife divorced. Wife accused Sereni of abusing their daughter. Courts of first degree found him guilty. Apparently the judgement was based mainly on the declarations of the daughter. 9 years old if I remember correctly. After 11 years of battles at court, just a week ago Sereni was released fro

QuoteMeise I assume that most pop and rock musicians had sex with underaged girls in the 1960s and 1970s, surely before in the 50s. I bet noone ever gave a damn on that. It's fair to say that in the 60 and 70 rock musicians were in their 20s, so no big deal. Also fair to say that when I was in my 20s I had affairs with girls under 18yo. Perfectly legal in Italy, by the way. At last,

Overall, 81-82 tours are my favourite version of the Stones live. 78 is a close second, but the set list 3 years later was better. Was 14 when they played Torino and Napoli. Remember very well, as saltoftheearth wrote above, the huge hype they generated. The excitement for seeing them for the first time on TV, short footage form the concerts, the mass of people!

Others always tried to sensationalize the Stones, and how drug fueled and demonic they were. Bill's view was from the inside of the car where only he and the other four had the same view.

Bill doesn't even sound like he does with the Stones. Which makes you beli
