QuoteGazza Quotecc Gazza, do you have any why the UK doesn't get a team, rather it's "England"? Doesn't this disappoint the poor Welsh, Scottish, and Northern Irish whose small teams (I assume) wouldn't be able to make the tournament? Always looks a bit medieval and strange when the cross as England's icon... We do all have our own national teams. There&#

Thanks to everyone who has posted such wonderful pictures. At the height of his powers Brian was a musical genius who seemed able to play any instrument to a very high standard. His musicianship gave the Stones a cutting-edge virtuosity that they have not reached since.

I'd be thrilled if England were to win it but it is pretty unlikely. So I'm going to give considered opinions on the tournament favourites. Argentina good side and in Messi they have the best player in the world. I think that Maradonna is the weak link in their chain and he is a poor tactician. They will lose in the Quarter Finals. Brazil football is crying out for a truly great B

I predict a Manchester United - Barca final and have no real desire to see one or the other triumph. I don't think that Barca will steamroller Man Utd as people have suggested. Fergie will not get bitten twice! My football attention is focused on my beloved Aston Villa and our quest to win the FA Cup and finish 4th in the EPL thereby getting into the Champions League next season. COME

QuoteJJHMick Keith sponsored decathlon gold medalist Daley Thompson and Mick the British basketball team in ??? I think that it may have been the British Gymnastic Team at the 1984 Olympics. He did this as a tribute to his father Joe who was a P E teacher. Mick and Charlie are cricket fans (as am I) and both are often seen at Lords where I believe Mick has a private box in one of the stands.

My confidence has been battered by numerous defeats when it really matters! The Engish Media go ape with their jingoism and are convinced that we will win it. I am too much of a realist. In fact there is more chance of me replacing Ronnie on guitar alongside Keith and I can't play a note!

Hi everyone and greetings from Birmingham, England. This is the first topic/dicussion thread that I have posted although I have been a frequent visitor to these pages. I've been a Stones fan for 30 years and have seen them live 24 times. Now for my point/question. Out takes? If they were not good enough for the original release of EOMS why should we assume that they are going to be a w

If we assume that the EOMS re-issue is the new album then you have to question if the band still have the motivation to get back into the studio.

Reading through this thread has made me realise that the Stones are an underrated ballad act, though not by the fans on boards such as this. For what it's worth, my fave underappreciated songs are: Down Home Girl Citadel Dear Doctor Torn and Frayed Shine A Light Winter Crackin' Up If You Really Want To be My Friend Through The Lonely Nights Everything Is Turning To Gold

I've seen U2 live and aside from Bono pontificating about most topics under the sun, they are not a bad live act. The Edge is technically proficient but his live playing is limited due the amount of effects that he uses in the studio. As others have said, they have made some great albums, notably Rattle & Hum. He found his niche within his band and has been succcesful. What mo

My first would be The Last Time which I heard for the first time circa 1975 when I was about 9 years old. The strength of the vocal and the sheer power of that driven beat got me hooked. I was aware of the Stones before having been intrigued by Mick's pink satin suit on Top of The Pops in '71 but as a 5 year old I was more interested in my toys and games than music!

I loved it from the first play in 1988 and still do. It is the best solo work by a Stone combining all that rocks and all that is mellow about Keith. Oh and it was realeased on my birthday which at the time I took to be a personal gift from Keith!

I love world cup fever! I would be thrilled if England were to win it, but given that our FIFA ranking fluctuates between 6 & 10, I think that we will make the quarter finals and no more. The potential loss of Ashley Cole from defence will be a blow but we have adequate cover defensively. We'll miss Cole's attacking threat. Rooney is in the form of his life and could really illum
