Quotetreaclefingers the review was a bit superficial...don't want to criticize but you started a thread to highlight your review, and it is a bit scant. But CCM kept it short, which is good, so kudos for that. I disagree with his comments on World Keeps Turning - somehow I just don't see that happening

I thought that You Tube had banned big pink cocks, no? Cheap jokes aside, I think this is a great video and a great song. It is fantastic to hear new material from any of the Stones, and this is very listenable. I can't make my mind up if I think Jagger looks ridiculous or great, it's one extreme or the other. It is such a ridiculous outfit that it is probably great, and I will excus

QuoteScooby The UK's Counterfeit Stones are truly awful. I saw them last year, it was like fancy dress karoke. Oh no I disagree, have seen them several times and always enjoyed them. If you ignore the panto bit, they sure can play. Counterfeit Stones get my vote as best tribute act

If the tosh from Exiles re-release is any barometer, I'd settle for a new tour. I have become over-exposed and am actively deleting Stones material from my iPod these days. But a tour is a nice thing; travel, meet old friends, see new places etc

I remember when the CD was first issued, it was around the time that interactive content was starting. There were some "secret" files in the CD that could be played, but it doesn't seem to recognise any more when I insert in to my PC. Does anybody remember what they were?

No thanks Ronnie, not at these prices! I might have stretched to £60 - but £85 for the junk seats in the house, £150 for the better ones left after fan club pickings...I know when to put my wallet back in my pocket. Have a good time, I'll enjoy spending my money elsewhere. Or am I mad because I have just drawn a line in the sand about £50 short of having a "great experience" wit

I loved this song on the record, but it seemed to sink badly when they tried it live. Mick couldn't harmonise it very well, and the rap section made you want to look the other way. At least they tried something new with that one, the video looked good too. I have a non-Stones friend who swears this was the best Stones song she ever heard!

It is a question I have been asked a few times over the years, but I only now feel confident to answer. For me, it has to be Star Star (ok, Starfcuker). It has everything a stones song should have: the Chuck Berry riff, the attitude, some tongue-in-cheek lyrics, a great pace and a song that just sounds better every time I hear it. This does surprise a lot of non-Stones friends who of course have
