QuoteDandelionPowderman QuoteDoxa QuoteDandelionPowderman I think your problem is that you're being selective regarding my posts, Doxa. I say lots of nice things about Taylor, and MM is my favourite song mainly because of his beautiful playing. Then again, how the guitars are arranged on that tune is how I like my Stones to be. When they tended to sound more like the other bands at the time

Quotemgshorr If you were to condense an audience at a Rolling Stones arena concert down to 100 people, this is what you might notice. 2 -- Overwhelmed. Crying at the very front of the TP. (Saw this.) 8 -- Moving, Dancing, Singing along, Clapping Hands. 90 -- Zombies with smart phones. Flat footed. Occasional clap when prompted by MJ. Its a buzzkill to look around and see everyone s

When I was a teenage, it was compulsory to get wasted before any evening entertainment. But when I see them at Hyde Park, I'll just have a little water beforehand. It'll be all eyes on stage and not worrying about needing to go to tehe toilet.

In line with the spirit of the short touring arrangements for 2013, perhaps the Stones should do a couple of 4 track EPs phased over say 15 months rather than commit themselves to recording a 12-15 track album?

QuoteCalGonz At Glastonbury? I'd be surprised. The Isle of Wight arena is closed overnight which gave them means and opportunity to modify the stage, but at Glasto the campsite and the arena is all in the one bit so they can't block access to the Pyramid. If there's even the slightest bit of mud it'll just become an impossibility. There is a mini-arena bit down the front, but the sides are

While Thatcher began what were quite modest economic reforms like privatising BT, she went too far and sold all the family silver. Our water and energy infrastructure is largely foreign owned, which is a national disgrace. Privatising our electricity generation and supply just made private cartels replace a public monopoly. Unfortunately her legacy must include the transformation of the British i

Taylor used to deploy a nifty bit of slidework live. I listened to few tracks from a '72 boot over the weekend and he was tearing it up on ADTL. He had the ability to capture the melody and "feel" from a studio track and rework it to great effect on stage. I've often thought that the studio Stones and live Stones from that era were two different bands.

I'm no Thatcherite, but from what I've read, the UK was in a pretty poor state by 1979 and she did what she felt was necessary to bring the country out of its decline. She had "the courage of her convictions" and probably more testosterone than her all-male Cabinet!

I was fortunate to see Nirvana at the Newcastle Mayfair in Decemeber '91 on the Nevermind tour. We only found out Nirvana were playing on the morning of the show. A friend phoned the box office and was told that although the tickets had sold out weeks ago, the promoter had put a few tix behind the desk. So we got the train up to Newcastle and were, amazingly, first in the queue. We could he
