I've always been a bit perplexed by the first week ranking in the charts, doesn't depend a lot on the competition?

QuoteSonicDreamer I have a pic of us with those palm trees, they were fun at Hampden Park! Cheers, SonicD Would love to see that! But, anyway, yes, go for the Gorilla suit ! So I missed that Gregory name thingy, did whoever's in charge of the Stones' FB page really get Gregory here ?!

Well I'd like to see an album every 18 months too but the guys are pushing 70 and I can't for one even understand how they can come up with new songs after writing hundreds of them...it's pretty mind boggling actually. Anyway no one who saw Mick singing "Worried About You" and "That's How Strong My Love" last week would say he "lacked passion",

Thanks, that sounds like a good ballpark number.

The actual songs weren't that bad, actually other than "She's the Boss", "Let's Work" and "Always Suffering", I can't think of anything really "bad" he's released over the years, now the production, well... Anyway back to OMS, it's safe to assume he brought several new tracks to Paris (possibly sent ahead of time) and OMS is

Well I looked at the latest sales on Seatwave (just click on "sell") and there are very few of them compared to a few days ago and the pits are now going between £700 and £750 so the jacking up of the price is probably some little "play" by the touts, you know, the more something is expensive, the more you want it...the dust is going to be clearing in the next few days and the

No more solo stuff please, like Ronnie said, "we're not getting any younger" (he already said that in early 1997 when he claimed Mick had told him they would be releasing no albums every 18 months going forward). I'm sure Mick has 7 tunes ready to go, so going by these 6 winos tunes and assuming one of them was OMS, that's an album with 12 ready to record in the studio

Since I'm big on useless trivia I was wondering if anyone had seen numbers on the estimated number of people who've seen the Stones live over the past 50 years? If not I'll try to dig out some numbers of the tours since 1989 as that should represent a good majority (60, 75% ?) of the total viewers due to their sheer length. Then of course you'd have to somehow account for the

What's the quality of the official version like? I think I recognized some pictures in crossfire hurricane (possibly when they play "it's funny") and they don't look a lot better than the last VHS I bothered looking at about 15 years ago and I suspect there are better versions out there now.
Forum: Tell Me

QuoteLeonidPHuh? I agreed with that. I bash them on their lack of passion for the music these days, everything they've done in the past 25 years has been for the money. Like I said, they have always shown great respect for their fans. A bit OT and dunno about that, but the 4 guys we saw on stage the other day didn't look like guys who had a "lack of passion" for the music. I

So would that be on the 25th, assuming they're open on Sundays? In which case I'll stop by as I get in around 10.30. I wouldn't mind getting that "Tongues through the years" that can be bought with tix for the US dates, hopefully it will be available in Europe too?
Forum: Tell Me

Correct, I suspect they do that because the seats may be on offer on different rip-off sites so it would look messy if it was in plain view.

Not that I can recall and it's not the case here either, right?
Forum: Tell Me

The other part of the scandal is the 25% fee (10% for the seller, 15% for the buyer) that these "secondary agencies" charge, there is no justification for that. If these pit prices hold up there will be room to roam in there!

Not too shabby...102 doesn't start at H though right? Actually looking at 101 and 112 I'm not sure they start at H everywhere but possibly only on the sides as the map shows some "cut-outs".

Good stuff, I see zero problem between Ronnie and Keith and Mick no longer seems embarassed by Keith each time he talks, they actually shared that "Before they make me run" joke which I didn't quite get.

Wow, all angles covered, eh, cool! The more I think of it, the more I think I need to come back on the 29th, hehe...hopefully I can arrange to buy a ticket for the 29th on Sunday or Monday, a low 112 would have my preference after the mosh pit action on the 25th...
