Quoteslewan I visted the Hackney bus today in Hannover (details => ) I listened to a little more than half of HD right there. My feeling was that most of the songs are somehow 'overproduced' and that the bass is too dominant in the mix.

It took long for me to understand that he was a big music lover and to respect his distinctive opinions. In fact I strolled his posts away for many years. But then the last 2 years I realized that he was not a negative or strange poster but one with a very sensitive and therefore distinctive way of looking at life. Instead of RIP my personal choice: EYNW (Enjoy Your New World.)

Reading through all this is so different like back in 2003 for instance. Even during the last tour it was different. More open. More good tempered. More relaxed. But with this new record coming out something happened to this board. And I am not talking about the Waldorf & Stadlers. They belong to the show. I am talking about those dry, analytical, soulless and cold comments, thoughts a

Many of the chief-analysts here praise the so "golden years" 68-72. Funny fact is: In this era between "BB" and "Exile" nobody like them was there. Nobody as a kind of critic-fan was existent. It was all about staying peaceful, easy and cool and open! and tolerant and let it flow and go. Because people were like that in that time music could evolve in the way it d

My Tips for tomorrow: Look forward to it. (the most unprejudiced way.) Grab for your childish Stones-mood and just lay back and listen. Feel if this your record - no matter what is written/said here or elsewhere. Roll with it. Groove with it, analyse later. Shut down your brain and let your ears and the rest of your body rule. Keep always in mind that a moment happens so many

QuoteStoneZP Jagger is unavoidable but, so many out of the list like Bowie, Sting, Annie Lennox... Jagger is "unavoidable"?????? I never could imagine that there are Stones Fans on this planet who call the heart, brain and driving force of their band they are fan of just by the family name. Always. And calling the fact he is on top of the 50 best-list as "unavoidable".

Quoteslewan Jagger? Seriously? He maybe the best front man of any rock band and most likely he has (or rather had) the best backing band in rock business but that doesn't make him the best rock singer. Personally I think he's overrated as a rock singer although he is a great blues and ballad singer. Beside that: where is Elvis on that fu*king list????? The last time for the rest of

Quoterollmops Angie broadened the rolling stones's commercial appeal. It went deep ; older people, people who did not like them before were seduced by Angie.

PaintMonkey - may be the best post so far. Very true. Very sensitively written. And very what is on many minds but not was spoken out. Not in this way. Let me add one thing: Mick in these days still does not look old in the sense of being 80. But he does look like a man who had given everything he could possibly give. I will try to learn to accept that.
