QuoteNashvilleBlues QuoteStoneage Have a glance at the rehearsal thread - there you find the songs that are going to end up in the setlists. I wish. They usually rehearse songs they don't play on tour, if I'm not mistaken. So, you're guaranteeing they'll play Live with Me and Emotional Rescue? ? They rehearse a lot of songs a pick a setlist out of that. They are not going

It is what it is. The rhythm section is gone. 60 percent of the band is left. The song writing duo is not a duo anymore. Since decades. The renowned guests do not make a difference. Still, I'm glad that they finally released some new music instead of touring warhorses around the clock. They are done now. It doesn't matter what they do next. It's been a long run though and I

Someone, I don't know who, said that a decent rock/pop album should have a hit single, a good ballad and two songs you can play live. From my viewpoint the album has the good ballad - SSOH - but maybe not the clear-cut single. Surely it has two tracks you can play live. Most certainly it has the typical Keith rock ballad which he can play in his two-songs-solo-set.

Thanks.

The main thing is that they have finally released a new album. That's good enough. Ranking it I would compare it to albums in their latter day production. In line with that. Still, it's a good thing that they got this one together. The Rolling Stones' core production ended with TY. But that is another story.

Shattered, Tumbling Dice and, maybe, Sweet Sound of Heaven are the listenable songs on the live CD. The others, except JJ Flash, are simply unlistenable fake recordings. Simple as that. No need to defend or overanalyze that.

Basically, albums don't matter to them since they are mainly a touring act since decades. They have a big back catalogue so they don't need new hits to sell out tours. And the big money is in tours these days. No wonder, considering the ticket prices...

...It was the Steel Wheels press conference... Ps Keith defends his band no matter what. So I wouldn't draw any conclusions from that other than that he is very protective about the band. Ds

So, the logic is: If you don't like it you're allowed to state it once, maybe a couple of times, but if you like it there is no such limit? I get it if people tend to be repetitive though...

So, a junkie song? Seems like Keith is imitating Lou's way of talking rather than actually singing. Suits him well. The song is a bit one dimensional, more of a groove rather - if you listen 30 seconds you have heard the whole song. Nothing wrong with that though.

It's the rule of market economy - in the end the price will be what the consumer is ready to pay - supply and demand. And the dinosaur acts are in a favorable position here. People save money for the dinosaur and then spend less on smaller acts.

Firstly, it was a good thing that they finally released a new album. Much better than another tour or re-release. It was the best thing that could happen. A breath of fresh air. Secondly, I think there is a pattern of hyperbole for a long time when a new album is released. This was the case even for "Super Heavy". The negative criticism usually comes later on.

As I understand Keith is an American citizen and Ronnie an Irish citizen. Sir Michael, due to tax reasons, is a citizen of nowhere. Is the Grammy's an American price award or is it open to the world? It's a bit odd that they are nominated for the Brit Awards since none of them are British. But I guess that how it works in this new brave world.

Not PC now but no one cared about that in the 70s - except for Reverend Jesse Jackson. I guess the title Some Girls is a euphemism for groupies.

Basically these award shows are an excuse to throw big parties for the industry. The prizes are commercial vehicles. And a great opportunity to meet people in the industry. Furthermore, for the women, a great opportunity to dress up. In a way these ceremonies are also fashion awards. Think the Oscars... ...forgot to mention: It's a dream for the PR department.

QuoteVideo-James But in fact their equipment was hooked up and they did perform live, (probably one of the smallest venues they ever played at) and it was video taped (I have a copy of that). Mick seemed quite drunk (IMHO). One song they did perform live was Jimmy Reed's "Baby, You Don't Have To Go". This was in July 1981 Which other songs did they perform on that location?

Why is this important at all? Ronnie would be the only Stone available for the ceremony. In the old days the band didn't care about or attend award ceremonies. Imagine they win: Will we see Sir Michael on Teams from south of France thanking the jury? Or what?

I remember when Clapton had a guest spot in 1989. No one can deny it was sheer brilliance on "Rooster". He was probably too good though because it became obvious what the Stones don't have in their guitar section (solo brilliance). So I guess the three guitarists concept was dead from the beginning anyhow (not in recording though).

Quotemaumau QuoteStoneage If you follow the standard setlists the last decades you will see that new material is included in the first set of the show, usually between song 3 and 8. After that it's the usual suspects. Usually they include 2 new songs which sometimes ends in 1 song before the tour is over. My guess is that the 2* new songs will be upbeat songs since that is the pattern of t
