Folks For Christmas I received a Gold Disc of Sticky Fingers, a cd in the center and a signed picture with a authentication certificate on the rear. The Gold disc I believe is for the latest reissue. All in a nice frame Anyone else have one of these?

Extremely unlikely that Keef killed the orchid. Mere co-incidence. Just because the flowers drop off doesn't mean it's dead. It happened to ours and they grew back. Come to think of it.....they fell off a few days after Keef had been round the house.....weird.

Only a few words on this.....Freedom Of Speech. There are strings being pulled over his arrest. Was he set up? Who knows but if he did commit rape then he should go to jail. Notice how big business (visa, paypal et al) is not allowing payments to wikileaks. Who's pulling the strings here, business or politicians?

QuoteOneHit QuoteNickB Intriguer by Crowded House. It's amazing. After a few plays it will worm it's way into your subconscious. Definetly this. Amazing album, getting better with every listen I'm finding - and it was great on the first listen! Amsterdam is such a great song worth the price of the album on it's own. How it starts so innocuously and builds into a f*****n awes

Quoteflilflam I agree. The rhythm playing is great. The rare solos are fine but not Keith's strong suit. When I started this thread, I had no idea so many people would be offended. I just hate to hear some people making flippant and unsubstantiated remarks about a very great musician. Some of you need to stop being so sensitive. The Stones are tough. They have gone to jail, experience

Keith is someone other guitar players measure themselves against and then they go back to pumping gas.

QuoteDandelionPowderman I've never understood the conception of a guitar player having to play very difficult and advanced stuff to be a great guitar player. Those things have not much to do with eachother, imo. To me, a great guitar player: - creates his/her own, unique sound. - tranfers this sound to great songs, in which he/she participates in writing (A necessity, imo). - develop

No offense, but I really find it egocentric to be "disappointed" or "sad" just because he can't deliever as before at this late stage of his career. All in all their shows are still great and he's doing his best. Sorry how am I egocentric by being disappointed or sad? I don't understand. It's not about me or myself (egocentricity) it's about Keith.

QuoteBärs QuoteNickBOh by the way I'm not a Keith basher just disappointed that he's lost his way a bit. Can only be expected after you've pumped yourself full of drugs, fallen out of a tree, believe your own myth etc, etc. In other words you're disappointed that he had an accident and swollen finger joints. That's generaous. His swollen finger joints are because o

Sorry Flimflam you are the Troll. Just because you're successful doesn't mean you're a decent musician. Do you understand how difficult it is to succeed as a musician? By what means are you measuring success? Just because you're a frustrated musician playing to a hundred people in a bar doesn't make you any less successful. Depends on ones level of expectation. If

Quotewith sssoul >> But the minimum price for a ticket in the UK was 150£ in UK on the front no matter at 02 or the stadium shows in 2006. << nope! at the 2006 UK stadium shows the first 9-10 rows were in the neighbourhood of 60 GBP. Err not at the o2 I'm pretty sure they were the full £150. At Sheffield I managed to get two third row seats at £60 each.
