QuoteNilsHolgersson QuoteTopi How about a petition to stop smoking and swearing on stage? Well, someone once said, "Guys, whatever you do, don't grow old gracefully. It wouldn't suit you", they are still rebels of course. That would be Pete Townshend, whilst inducting them into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1989.

Quotepftw04 I was watching a live concert of Rod Stewart yesterday. His voice has detoriated a lot compare to Mick. But his musicians are much powerful than STONES That's because like most soloists, he hires in a younger backing band. It's not a fair comparison really.

QuoteStonedRambler QuoteTopi QuoteBig Al It’s pleasing to read there’s some realists amongst us. As the day continues, the usual - but much loved - suspects will enter the fray, with proclamations about how they can still continue performing into their 90’s. Well nothing about the Stones career was realistic to begin with. Realistic was that their success would last a few years after having

Heard about it this morning. He was born and grew up in Swindon, Wiltshire, just a few short miles away from where I live. He used to come back every Christmas to visit his mum, who still lived there. It's obviously big news in the local paper here, which he continued to read avidly despite his years away. RIP.

RIP Ozzy. He made the most of the time that he had, which given his lifestyle, he did very well to reach 76! As a young man, he was something of a petty criminal and actually did time inside for burglary! He probably had his unexpected fame to thank to steer him away from that. So fitting that his final show was in Brum, where it all began and he managed to hang on long enough to do it, raisin

Quotephd27 I read I think in the Times, that this tour will be the biggest ever from a band. And that the Galagher brothers might earn a combined 200 M$. Is this accurate ? I think only Springsteen and Coldplay are over this number in terms of individual income with their highly successful current tour. The figure I keep hearing being quoted is £50m GBP each, approx $68m USD at current excha
