Well you can offense direct or indirect by putting space and underline or whatever in the message or in words but that does not matter to me. If I see repeated offensive posts then I take action and don't tell me I did not tell you. I told you once and I told you twice. But you would not listen to my advice...

It is a very offensive word if you use it in England or UK based culture. In USA I don't think it means much so people might use it by accident without knowing how offensive it is. That is why I have to put stronger limits on the language here on IORR than in an average singular culture. It may insult and offend in a different setting even if it is ok for you and your area.

Peace Peace. Who is fighting and what for? No reason to start WW III just because of the RJ riff. Please show some respect and the world will be easier to live in. I made it fine in Rio where some say 3 out of 4 are robbed, but then people start a riot about a chord. I just can't believe it. Shake hands and respect. This is not the Olympics of Stones chord masters...

Ronnie was cool and great as usual. If you don't like him just take a banana or a swim. By the way only two songs did really make the crowd freak out tonight. Start Me Up and Satisfaction.

It was a guitar problem I think. They did not get the sound right. So Mick asked what is going on and then RJ was on.

The beach was full. Av. Atlantica (the wide street next to the beach) was over-full, totally packed. Few people in the boats. So forget about them. A few thousand. I would leave it to the authorites to give an official count. But to me it looked like a million before the warmup is on. So may be 1.5 mill. The New Years Eve party is not just like a show. It is an event. If a street musicin

Soory the Norwegians are not on doping. It may feel unfair that we win all these medals but some coutries put more money and research into winter sports and that is exactly what we - Norway - does. If you live in a world when you believe everybody who is winning is on a drug then I am sorry. And to be honest it is a pretty hostile accusation to make. There are countries and athlets that don'

See IORR news - iorr.org/rio - As you see this is a classic stage design. Lots of steel pipes but no large area where the wind can catch it. So it will simply blow through it. Evewn the decoration they put up I am sure are very nice to wind and not solid. But there is always a limit of course still I don't think hurricanes or storms are expected in Rio now. Just a bit cloudy at all times

Well the Stones asked for a big place for their show in Cologne 2003 and I suppose the stadium was too small or being rebuilt for the world cup this summer so they found this muddy dusty place which they called "Vision Zukunftspark" and sold tickets to 70,000 people there. And since it is just a dusty flat field they had to place hundreds of portable toilets there - John's. So the

You know we sold our speedskates and spent all our money and time on skies in all forms. That's why we got our first gold medal in ski jumping yesterday. But don't count on it.

They had to change promoter in Japan so that made everything a bit hectic I think. But The Stones are the greatest rock'n roll band in the world, and even if they come on a short notice, people will buy tickets and the shows will sell out. That is how it is working.

There is an "Edit post" you know in case you regret posting something. I would not judge people from going to one show. Like judging all people from the opening show Chicago 1997 or Copenhagen Denmark 1995 or even Vancouver 1994. Never seen so many beer drinkers as at these shows. Or Prague 1995 when they actually had the beer truck right inside the stadium on the field. Happens ewv

Some say 1,5 million people, others say only 500,000. I think the right number may be around 1 million. During New Years Eve shows in Rio they have around 1,5 million. But this is close to carnival and it's the Stones. They have been building the stage for more than a week now and the Stones crew went directly to Rio from Puerto Rico today, to have a week working on the show. So it is big, v

Never again after Mick lost his voice in Benidorm and then again for Amsterdam and Twickenham Europe summer 2003. They moved Twickenham and since then it's a rule. No back to back shows. Before that it happened on rare occations in recent years but not often at all. Not anymore now.

Just a myth. With open admission on the floor and not an allocated seat you don't really notice who is going in and out of the crowd. People just move around all the time. What do you call those hundreds of boxes all lined up in a stadium in Europe, with endless queues? John? Anybody remember Oberhausen? And how about those endless primitive "do it against the wall" plastic things

Rowen a.k.a. Leroy got back problems at the end of the 1998 shows in Europe and had to quit I think. Just a few shows left before the tour finish in Istanbul. Other crew members did security for Mick temporarily. Now Clive has got the job, and I must say he is excellent at it. Already been as close as it gets without being punched in my face which is the final test for a great bodygard.

I am really sorry if my comment was offending. It was not ment to be personal. It was given as an example.

So what would be the point of doing a list of 3 songs where Ronnie is bad? Are we looking for ways to crack a person? How about a list of 3 songs where Keith is bad? If you read the reviews from Atlanta and Baltimore you will understand what I mean. Such a list will be highly subjective and pretty meaningless. There is no consesus on good or bad music. And if Ronnie or Keith is hitting a bad chor
