Not an exact fit for this thread title but I have the shirt from the 1992 X-Pensive Winos New Years Eve show at the Academy in NYC. Pearl Jam opened for them.

I appreciate the sentiments behind this release, talented musicians and some nice covers. What I really take away from it is just how eff-ing great The Rolling Stones are. But I already knew that.

Quotelem motlow That “the Beatles had a wider group of influences” is laughable. Ok, early rock and roll- check Blues- 1 song and it’s the worst piece of feces I’ve ever heard.Lennons voice is sufficiently tortured but it sounds like amateur musicians playing. If that was your “Blues playing “ you couldn’t be the warm up act at a local barbecue joint. Country-Ringo singing “they’re gonn

Quotetreaclefingers Quotecoffeepotman Thank you both for a civilized discussion, if only all disagreements ended this way Thanks! My regret in the discussion was using the word "spouting" which was unkind and did nothing to further my point, so I apologize unreservedly to MKjan for that. No offense taken Treacle, and thanks for your comment coffeepot man.

QuoteHairball Thanks for sharing those lists sf37 and Nankstone - very nice and impressive! It's amazing to see just how prolific they were in the first 40 years or so vs. the last 20 years when they've only dribbled out just a small handful of tunes in comparison. It's an incredible catalog. Also amazing is how much fluffy crap the Beatles coughed up in the 8 years they man

QuoteIrix Since the statues will already be installed in early 2023, it doesn't seem that the sculptor will make different versions from which one will then be selected. Probably not. Early 2023 is here. I was thinking a statue is for the ages, so the better, the better. I will support her work, there is a lot of homage here and the Stones deserve recognition.

QuoteIrix QuoteMKjan She is a good sculptor but listening to all these posts, Mick needs a new head. Keith looks great. You could contact her about this: Amy Goodman (Sculptor & Portrait Artist) - , , . I visited her website, and she is really good. Like some of the other posts on this thread, something seems wrong about Mick's face.

She looks happy for sure.
Forum: Tell Me

QuoteBeast Thanks, schillid and Rockman! I agree that the sculptor looks to have captured their movements/stances pretty well, especially Keith. Also agree that there is something about Mick's face that could be improved but can't work out exactly what it is - maybe the top half, as I think the mouth/lips are OK. Even so, I don't think it's bad - he is at least recognizable

Looking good, but Mick's face could be worked on. I like the forms, they were most always in motion.
