We would all agree that using ear plugs/ear protection is better for our ears than to do not. But I think we would also all agree that using no ear plugs is usually much more fun - even if you have a high quality protection. So the question is: How do you know if you should use them? everwest wrote that he uses them if his body tells him that the volume is too loud. I have the problem that I

Honestly I don't think the album will already come out this year. It's just too much work. It's not just the work the stones have to do (writing songs, doing arrangements, recording the basic tracks, recording overdubs), but also editing, mixing, mastering, and all the things to prepare the release. Although I would love to be proven wrong.

QuoteRipThisBone Will it be worth to stay up late and watch Periscope from Brazil? I am also considering. Setlist-wise probably not. But if you can enjoy listening to a show via periscope, despite of the lousy quality, then it will be worth it. Apart from that it's quite cool to discuss during the show here on iorr.

Quotelatebloomer Use them, StonedRambler. Here's a thread on the subject: Very interesting thread, thank you! Espencially I find it interesting that Bjornulf did his master degree on the subject. He often mentions the stapedus muscle in this thread, which protects the ear from getting damaged for about two hours. Which makes me wonder: Muscles can get trained by using them regularly

Let's face it: it's much more fun without ear plugs, but wearing them will keep us stay able to enjoy music in full trains. In my opinion it still does not exist enough scientific knowledge about hearing loss and tinnitus. There are so many assumptions but few facts. For example some people say that with every concert your hearing gets a bit worse, because some of the tiny hair ce

I just cannot understand how someone can think Clapton is boring. He's one of the greatest guitarists ever, for me personally definitely the greatest. And I think he got better and better as he became older. I could listen to his solos for hours. The art of clapton is the art of simplicity. He does not need to show he can play extremely fast, though of course he can. But when Clapton does a

Just read on Facebook there will be a new Clapton album, it will be released in May. And it's produced by GLYN JOHNS!!! So he's still available, imagine how great it would be if he would work with the stones again.

Of course you're right. But I think the feeling of standing on Stage an playing for so many people is it worth. Keith also said that his dream would be to be an invisible rockstar.
Forum: Tell Me

I don't think it's bad at all that so many people here give us their opinion about the setlists. You can see it as complaining, but we all know that the stones don't care about what we write here, so it's all about giving our opinions. And for me those discussions are very interesting, although IMHO the stones do their setlists in a way which is perfect for stadium shows w

Of course Rocks Off live will never be as good as the studio version, on which Mick and Keef sing together as a duet. The problem is that Keith can't sing and play the guitar at the same time, so the backup vocalists have to do the harmonies. But IMHO Lisa did not do it very well on the last tour, so I am really courios about how Sasha will do it.

The question is why the filming cameras should be so close to the video screen cameras. It does not really make sense to me (although I don't know much about professional video recording). Maybe TornAndFried is right and they do 3D filming.

Just watched some youtube videos of the concert in Chile and noticed that they have two camera men at each of the usual camera spots now. Never saw this before. Is this new? And does anybody know what's the sense of it? Maybe educating new camera men? Or more cameras to release a bluray of the tour?

What I realized right now: For Santiago Anybody Seen My Baby was in the song vote but did not win. Next concert they played Anybody Seen My Baby. For the 2nd concert in Buenos Aires Beast Of Burden was in the song vote. Today they played Beast Of Burden. So it could be that they play Rocks Off or Heartbreaker next concert.
