WHAT!!!....it's a friggin' comedy show dcba

ROCKMAN

Thanks Schillid for the clips. Just woke up.. Marks so far:

- Satisfaction skit: Okey. Funny watching Jagger playing the dork.
- J. P Morgan skit: Lame. Jagger didn't do much though.
- Monologue: Okey. I guess...
- "Tea Party" with Jeff Beck: Esoteric lyrics, but okey, I guess. I don't know if it's a new number. Sounded like blues by the numbers.
- Kristen Wiig: I recognize her but really didn't know her from before. Haven't watched SNL for a long time. What a cute girl. Cute and adoring in that "next door neighbour girl" style. If you know what I mean. Her father is from Norway obviously. Hence the name.

For Swedish viewers: I noticed that this program will be reprised on Kanal 9, May 26.

Just finished watching it on the West Coast. The comedy bits were better than the musical to be honest. Jagger was funny. Not one mention of the Stones. It felt a little sad because they did a medley with Foo Fighters of 19th Nervous Breakdown and It's Only Rock and Roll that was cheesy at best. Oh well, it was what I thought it would be.

Just finished watching the show.

Winning performance by Mick....surprising song choices...NOTHING from the "Golden Age!"

Of the Stones songs performed,...only IORR was from the post-Decca/London era.


I thought the finale was beautiful.


A milestone in his career.

Imho it's a winner! TLTime is very good (ha this a capella intro ) and the two songs with the FFighters are also very nice.

So Mick sends us this message : he's still got at least 5 years ahead of him as a world-class performer.

But with whom to back him...? The Stones? Other, younger, ppl?

Easily the best episode of at least the last two seasons. Great skits from beginning to end, and he SOUNDED fantastic. He was f'n great.

Screw Keef - Mick proved he's got all the tools.

erm, that's what you think...

MJG196, there's already a thread about this. Why do you think you're special enough to start a new one? Give me 6 reasons! aaaaaaaaaaaaand GO!

skits were terrible, but keef was not missed at all

That was AWESOME! Mick nailed it!! I'm so sick & tired of the naysayers, whiners and @#$%& on this board that tonight I'm saying FAREWELL, LOSERS!!! I can't STAND this site. What a bunch of old biddies.

Beyond "terrible"

100% agree. Everyone in my house from my dad (Mick's age) to my 10 year old was laughing their asses off - especially the Secret Word sketch. Lots of old farts wishing it was still about 1971. And Foo Fighters did a great job rockin' it up behind him.

Yes

utter nonsense!!!!!!!!

comedy was a bit weak overall...music was excellent, spot on.

MJ was in top form.

AF, FF and JB were excellent.

but not the stones

Regarding Mick on SNL:
Laugh, I nearly died!

did your mother drop you when you were a baby?

True though...Bloody brilliant...

BLOODY MAYBE BUT NOT BRILLIANT

I really thought that tonight's show would include a meaningful announcement. But it now appears that that is not to be. It almost seems impossible that Mick would not appear on stage with Keith Richards. Still around 50 minutes left in the show so maybe that is the grand finale...I have not seen this show live in about 20 years....I miss the not ready for prime time players!

Come on. This stuff is funny.

The Foo Fighters, Arcade fire, and Jeff Beck...I haven't watched this show in about 30 years...do they normally have THIS many musical acts on in one night?
