Got in to them with Lifes Rich Pageant and was a bit shocked when they went ballistic in the 90s. Some days I like the IRS stuff, other days prefer the Warners stuff. Don't know if the CD/DVD re-releases is something I should be cynical of. They did a good job backing Nikki Sudden on his Guns Liquor and Ammo CD and apparently would like to do another album with him.

There will be a new CD and a new tour but it is not going to be a big bang as the Stones have toured so much since 1994 to Joe Public it's just another tour. The Stones are creatively bankrupt so they are not going to break any real new ground. However they could come up with something interesting like Johnny Cash. Like Keith said the Stones are just there, like the sun going up in th

The Stones don't need the money or the exposure. I bet the networks would be uptight if Keith was smoking and in case they got fined for promoting unhealthy practises.

The reason so much Beatles stuff is still available is because fans taped it. When the BBC first said they would release a BBC Beatles sessions collection they put out an appeal to fill the (wiped) gaps in their archive. One guy came forward with a near complete set of the BBC recordings. The guy wanted money but the BBC wouldn't pay as they had the copyright on the material, by now som

On one hand it would be like Keith and Charlie going out as the Stones with Chris Farlowe on vocals. On the other hand I saw THe Doors 21st Century a couple of years ago. It was a shame John Densmore dropped out becasue it was great and they played for 2 3/4 hours. I loathe Queen any way but thnik this is brand exploitation.

There was some Wall footage officially released on DVD and sold over the net, there was an item in Record Collector on this. Meanwhile Roger Waters has a couple of live DVDs out (I only have the CDs of these, the Wall is a celeb fest and okay but the 2CD from a couple of years ago is quite good).

Keith never signed for Pirates 2 despite all the stories of costume fittings etc so if he is going to do it he can fit it to his schedule.

My old car stereo speakers were knackered and when I played FOB there was a great fuzzy buzzy bass sound that will, now, sadly never be heard again.

Every time there is a tour rumour the opening in the UK rumour starts. In 97 it was Glastonbury and in 94 two shows at Wembley. Recently it was Isle Of Wight, they got REM instead.

If you look at the sales of Live Licks this would be an indicator as to the viability of an archive release. Perhaps a good ad campaign would work but in my heart I know this would stiff. What were the sales like on RnR Circus?

If they pushed the tour back to 2006 they would have to put the album release back as well.

A good friend and part of a lot of good memories for me. Still remember that icy day in London when we first met in 85 and the surprised look on your face in Rotterdam 90 that i remembered what you looked like before we bought those odd looking tickets which turned out to be in the teams box.

I was at all thhree shows and from an audience perspective its: 1. 16 2. 17 3. 14 From a tape/CD perspective I don't know which feels the best as I only have Sweet Home New York which is the 17th with bonus songs from the 14th. After the 16th we met in Mustang Harrys and every one was thinking how the 17th would top it but it was not to be, the 16th is probably one of the best sho

Nick Cave can do this because his base is more fanatical and would accept it. The Stones appeal outside of music fans so the majority go for what they know, the hits. I saw Lou Reed during the Ectasy tour twice and although it was slightly more accepted in a theatre (but only just) in an arena the audience were not happy that the majority of the set was from the new album. The majority of pe

This is what most groups use their reissues for but the Stones can't even put Beast Of Burden back on Still Life let alone add unreleased tracks. Will future reissues (DVD-A, SACD, BluRay) include bonus tracks to boost the income from further barrel scrapping or will they put them out from the website? The Stones are in a minority for doing nothing, they should allow the bootleggers to d

TonyM I'm sat on the other side of the Solent from you and I can tell you this is bollocks. In 1997 the same story circulated for Glastonbury. If you're running a festival and you want to publicise it throw out a big name (Stones at Knebworth 1990, no Woodstock 1994, no etc). When they built the St Marys Stadium it was publicised as a possible venue for concerts by artists such

Let It Bleed: They had to get together a record to tour behind. Brian is (I think) only on one track and he was officially a member of the band till June 1969. Keith was hanging out with Gram Parsons which had some influence (and Ry Cooder was around). When they weren't recording for real they created a risable jam album called Jamming With Edward. Some Girls: Keith was going to prison
