After watching for the 5th time , as MT is leaving stage, at 8:22, MJ is occupied blowing his nose and quickly motions MT to take a bow. Wow!!
Forum: Tell Me

man, MT does some great playing before 7:07, but just check out that rapport happening between MJ, KR and MT...the facial expressions, and think back to the incredible sounds these 3 made together in '69, '72, '73, it's such a historic grouping, that really shows its colors in a moment like this. So cool that it's come full circle.

+1 JumpinJack... What's even cooler about this is that MT is bringing what some would call his "jazz fusion" to the table (2:26-36 being one example); something he has developed all the years away from the Stones. It is an entirely new dimension for the band, and it's basically shoving a hot poker up all their respective @sses. I so hope this continues.

Oh my god...brothers in Stones...it happened!! I'm so high from watching this, it's like an angel landed. So many years we have been waiting for a glimmer of that magic from his fingers, the vibration felt throughout the entire band, yea, even the communal bond it inspired in Mick and Keith, who joked with each other unabashedly with expressions not seen in years. Wow, thank you all: Stones,

QuoteCome On Guest stars is mostly very annoying to watch...guys like Clapton that's a cool artist for real is what I can stand... +1, the generation that came up in the late 90s-00s, I'd say from Dave Matthews through John Mayer (including Grohl but Cobain was unique), in my opinion has not been immersed in great rock music the way those who grew up in the 50s-80s (I'm ending around REO and GnR)

Quotestonehearted He has no understanding of musical dynamics, of blending in with the musicians around you-- +1, at least someone hears what I'm saying about dynamics. But music appreciation is subjective and people like different things. Grohl did show that sensitivity with Nirvana, whereas his guitar persona is just an all-out, monotonous power chord, which borders on torture to my ears anyway
Forum: Tell Me

Was curious about others' feedback... I guess I prefer dynamics in music and performance.
Forum: Tell Me

I get the Nirvana legend, and the high energy he brings, but does anyone else find the Grohler's incessant leg stomping, head banging, interminable power chord noise too much?

Gee, there's an energy to this Anaheim show I haven't seen before. First, MJ is incredible as always with his fitness level, but Keith also is evolving into something different...he seems healthier, like he wants to meet MJ halfway, maybe be a little more like him. Whatever it is, these two are melding very nicely in these clips. Ron's plinky playing though, is....anemic. Would rather just he

They don't WANT MT's sound volume up, they don't want him playing too well, and he seems happy to acquiesce, fulfilling the role of a sentimental novelty while lurking around the stage. They wanted Wyman to do something similar, but he didn't buy in.

We're not getting more MT, and through his stage loping act, he's not moving the argument forward. The only thing I'm curious about these shows is how vital MJ is...I mean wow! And seeing how Keith and Charlie are getting on. That is IT. The performances do nothing for me. This dog has had its day. I'd be more interested seeing a workout video by MJ, a gardening special by Keith, and a day in the

This thread is great for me in that so many of us feel/observe what is happening the same way: QuoteRokyfan Mick Taylor is sitting backstage smoking cigarettes while the Stones are playing brown Sugar and Sympathy, etc. There is no way anyone can explain this to me in a way that would make any sense.

MT, I love you man, but in the one d@mn song that these greedy bastards are giving you, please stop wasting precious time and energy aping and loping around the stage. Instead, focus on the d@mn guitar. Aping is not your talent; playing that fretboard is. Stand (straight--not hunched over) in yer spot, focus, and break it down for us. Show us once again who is the lyrical maestro. Please.

Digital computing defines our lives in great ways, but digital music sucks, and Keith is not the first to observe it. I can't listen to some distorted rock music, whose analog distortion on vinyl and cassette is pleasing to my ears, where the digital sound is harsh, shrill, and irritating. Apparently, most do not remember, or are not perceiving (consciously anyway) the problem of digital arti

Thanks for the heads-up on Robert Ardrey, stonesnow. Great covers! I'd heard of Social Contract before, but was thinking Rousseau Will keep an eye out for these books...you might like Guns, Germs and Steel, if you haven't already read it. Some of the premises seem the same. The natural selection part on plants was real interesting to me.

Lady Gaga deserves respect for "making it" and being in a position to be on stage with the Rolling Stones. Aside from that, she is a vapid Madonna protege. The Riverdance chick who sang Gimme Shelter was much better.

Chuck basher, let it go. Yes, Chuck is a nice guy, and a southern gentleman at that. That is relevant. Who wants an a-hole playing in the band? I don't. There are enough a-holes to go around. Chuck's magic is in his sublety. At this point, he might very well be the most important Rolling Stone. I have reason to believe that the band might be working on his arrangements for upcoming songs.
