I wouldn't be surprised if the logo contributed to a degree. It's flashy and attention grabbing and then people associate the logo with the Stones and the music. It's the logo that makes the Stones one of the top T-Shirt sellers, not necessarily the music. One of the few other trademarks that has contributed to a band's success is Iron Maiden's Eddie mascot. They make abo

"Did the 'A Bigger Bang ' tour not start Sept.05 and end Nov.06 which is 1.25 years." But putting things in perspective, most touring bands play that many shows in 5 or 6 months so it doesn't really seem like an extensive tour at all to me no matter how long they drag it out.

I am going to go out on a limb here and say all shows, with the possible exception of the Phoenix and one of the Beacons were recorded. Whether or not they will be circulated is another matter.

"I got Lemmy and "Philty" Taylor's autographs." Me and a friend once cornered Taylor by the packaged meat at a 7-11 in Hollywood not long after he left. Lemmy and Phil are pretty easy to find when they are in town.

Keep in mind - when the media starts bullhorning about poor selling shows or "tickets still available" it probably inspired a lot of people who just assumed they couldn't get tickets to make a last minute decision to go. San Diego 05 also had huge lines at the ticket window. Soldier Field 06 probably would have drawn a much bigger crowd if the weather was better. 26k in presales an

I have seen Motorhead about ten times, always a great show. Also both Lemmy and Phil can keep up in the party department, that's for sure!

"Yeah Dan, but didn't you go to multiple shows, and hear every song they palyed Wed. at a previous show, on this tour?" She Was Hot and the 2 Keith songs. Other than that though, I have seen plenty of bands multiple times and sometimes it can be the exact same setlist every time and it doesn't bother me.

"Pretty full -- my section, for example, was full of lameasses." Same here, even in the 4th row. I thought I wandered into one of the neighborhood gay bars or something. Just lots of dudes chatting with each other and high fiving each other through the first several songs. And someone was wearing too much cologne. People who wear a lot of cologne to a concert should be stripped and t

It's a rock concert, not a funeral! I hope everyone doesn't start bumming the way they have been here and ruin the show. It's a rock concert in a stadium, I am sure they will be back in a few years in some form or another. What else would they do?
Forum: Tell Me

It's happened to me quite a few times but usually after checking multiple acts, price ranges and ticket quantities. I am usually allowed back in after a few hours. If you are checking every 2 minutes without buying then you probably deserve it. I usually keep it to once every 30-60 mins per gig.

Definitely NOT Joey. I do recall an interview where Joey was lamenting that he missed the Stones at the Garden in 1998 because he was in the hospital.

There are almost no radio broadcasts of anything in the US anymore. It sucks. Except for indy or public stations with in studio performances.

The only one was on XM radio for the Rio show. They should broadcast Dodger Stadium or Vancouver even if just so all the people affected by the cancellations and postponements could at least hear it.

The Alvin Lee Band with Mick Taylor opened up a leg of Black Sabbath's "Mob Rules" tour in the U.S. in 1981. That was the tour they were on when Mick Taylor joined the STones in Kansas City.

The crowd sucked at the recent Who show. The crowds sucked at recent Stones shows too. Other than that I don't really understand what the OP is getting at except if you spend too much time inside the hardcore circle jerk of any popular band you are going to hear a lot of people complaining about too many hits in the set.

See, I know a lot of people who can't make this show and it has nothing to do with ticket prices or the venue but the date. At least some were able to find other close by shows this leg to go to so the Stones squeezed a bit more money out of them one way or the other.

It doesn't bother me at all. I was able to snag a great cheap single with most of you behind me and beer and restroom lines will most likely be short.

" I've been a pretty close Rock and Roll watcher and have NEVER seen ANYTHING like this ABB tour in all my years." I have seen worse disasters more times than I can count. As far as 2 nights at the Forum instead of Dodger - they couldn't even sell out one with 6 months lead time so I don't think they are going back there. Staples apparently didn't want them back.
