The RIAA counts double discs as two sold so in all of the above cases where it's a double disc, only half have literally been sold, so six million people have actually purchased Hot Rocks. Likewise, 11 1/2 million people have purchased The Wall. Looking at the top of the list, it's doubtful that anyone could catch the Eagles since their Greatest Hits album is easily their biggest sell

What other instruments does Ronnie play on stage other than guitar? I recall seeing him sitting down playing a slide guitar on Far Away Eyes.

The first North American show since Altamont. 17000 inside, 2000 rioting outside. Coincidentally, The Who played their first show after the Cincinnati tragedy in Vancouver in 1980. I remember tickets were sold by raffle and around 800,000 people wrote in requesting tickets. I was too young for the Stones and I couldn't get any tickets for The Who.

I've always liked Aftermath US, Hot Rocks and Through The Past, which is the last photo session Brian did with the band in late May 69 just days before he was asked to leave.

Perhaps JY Imagination was edited due to the length of the album? Remember that this was released pre CD and an album can only hold around 40 minutes or so. T&A, all good choices, but 5 of them are from Tattoo You, so I don't think they'd want to release literally a live version of Tattoo You. With so many songs to choose from, to pick only 10 from the tour, I'm sure every

Hi T&A, I think one must remember that this album was released only 5 years after Love You Live, so they probably didn't want to put the same songs on Still Life that were on LYL such as Tumbling Dice, Brown Sugar, JJ Flash, Can't Always Get, HT Women, etc. What part of JM Imagination is edited? I haven't listened to it in a while, but isn't it played basically the sam

I think this is an excellent album. Dead Flowers and Let It Bleed are awesome. The only complaint I have about Wild Horses is that they sing the Wild Horses part of the chorus a bit shorter than the original, which doesn't sound right to me. The DVD from the No Securities tour with Dave Matthews is more like the original chorus. One other minor complaint is that Mick doesn't sing all

I may be in the minority here, but I think Still Life is an awesome live album. The opening chords of Under My Thumb are incredible. Time Is On My Side, Let's Spend The Night, Just My Imagination, etc. are great versions. I prefer this album to Love You Live or No Security.

Not sure how Mick hooked up with Michael but it was shortly after Paul McCartney had the duet with Michael, Say Say Say I think is the name of the song. One must remember that this was when Thriller was at it's peak and Michael was the biggest pop star in the world. Don't like either song, but I remember at the time, several reports of how shortly after a Beatle does something, a Sto

Awesome news! Seen AC/DC in 83, 88, 3 times in 91 and 96. I really want to see some of their older material with Bon Scott. Still waiting for Let There Be Rock to be released on DVD!

Question regarding Earls Court and Wembley Arena. In North America, the major rinks are used for hockey and basketball. What are these arenas used for? What is the capacity of both venues?

The only Stones song of the past 20 years that I truly like is Don't Stop. I think that's one that'll grow on people over the coming years. Ironically, some of the others that I don't mind are the B sides like Fancy Man Blues, So Young and Jump On Top of Me.

In regards to the 78 tour, how many shows did the Stones perform and how many of those are actually on bootlegs? I would tend to think that if Bill mentioned they played it, they probably did, since he kept journals, diaries, etc.
Forum: Tell Me

To be totally non bias, you can say that AC/DC's songwriting hasn't matched anything since BIB, but then how do you follow up an album like that? Conversely, have the Stones written any "classics" after Start Me Up was released? As a huge fan of both bands, I have all the AC/DC CD'S AND DVD'S as well as all of the officially released Stones CD's and DVD's

In regards to The Last Time, I know it was Brian playing the main riff. If you watch the 25x5 video, they show the Stones playing the song and you can see Brian playing the main riff. However, I don't know if he came up with the riff. I kind of think that it was probably Keith's, but he probably let Brian play it.

Perhaps Mick played the song on his solo tour in the late 80's? If that was the case then it could have been Joe Satriani playing lead.

I'm a huge AC/DC fan! I wish they wouldn't have put BIB in the Bonfire set and instead put more rare songs. I love Crabsody In Blue and Fling Thing. In concert, both Malcolm and Cliff stand next to Phil Rudd on drums. The only time they come to the front is to sing back up, then they step back next to Phil. Malcolm deserves alot of credit for AC/DC's sound, although he's

I haven't heard his song nor seen the movie, but I saw a poll in the papers recently that this current version of Alfie was rated one of the worst remakes of all time, which kind of explains why the movie did so poorly at the box office.

One of the few songs that Brian plays the main riff is on The Last Time. He plays the "choppy" sounding riffs on several songs, including Off The Hook, It's Alright, It's All Over Now as well as the slide on Little Red Rooster.

What's the Story is an awesome CD. When I purchased it back in 95, I only knew Wonderwall, but when I listened to the disc, I literally liked every song on it. I mentioned previously that I bought the SACD 5.1 surround version which sounds alot cleaner than the regular CD version. Also, I mentioned that the drummer looks a bit like Tim from The Office!

I have both London Records Hot Rocks 1 and 2 which I purchased in early 1986 I believe. They were released prior to the original ABKCO releases. Play With Fire and Mothers Little Helper are also both in stereo. I was surprised PWF wasn't in stereo on the recent ABKCO re-releases. I still prefer the London stereo version over the new SACD version, even though the SACD sound is crisper, it

Mick plays acoustic guitar on WOAF and LIB in 1981. If I recall the Let's Spend the Night Together video, he plays electric guitar on Just My Imagination and Miss You so I would guess that the photo is taken during one of those two songs.

The best I saw was Jonny Lang. Worst was Spin Doctors. Hey Shawn20, I would have loved to have seen the Mighty VH open in Orlando 81. As you may know, the back cover of Diver Down is taken from that show. One thing that always impressed me with that photo is that the band is taking a final bow, even as an opening act, and if you look at the crowd, alot of fans are cheering with their fists

Wild Horses - The Sundays Wild Horses - Flying Burrito Bros. Street Fighting Man - Oasis Mothers Little Helper - Tesla - A great version from their Five Man Acoustical Jam album, which I believe would be the first "unplugged" album. They also do great versions of Signs, Lodi, Truckin and We Can Work It Out. Not a huge fan of the band but I would recommend this album to anyone.
