I Think this No-New-York_City attitude is the biggest shame of the whole tour schedule. Well, they played Barclay center Brooklyn and they played Newark, but not playing MSG at all is really a big shame for both NYC and the Rolling Stones. I would have expected a decent show on May 21st at MSG, but no they rather play LA (and close-by venues) four times. Sorry, Sir Mick, this"forget-about

I cannot imagine that MJ, known for being an incredible control freak, had no eye on this whole mess before it went online. I think the only way to get out of this is to claim for damages from the ticket sales agency, the only compensation being a FREE concert at Madison Square Garden on Tuesday, May 21st 2013. All IORR members shall be given free flights to and fro NYC and tickets for all

Germany and the Netherlands, I´m afraid to say, will not be scheduled because there is no time left after the Stones will have played VIENNA, SALZBURG, LINZ, INNSBRUCK, GRAZ and the remaining Megacities in Austria ;-). Kidding? I´m not. The Stones´ by far biggest and most avid fan base is and always will be in Austria. C U in my country! Dutch and (wellbehaving) Germans welcome!

Does anyone know, what this film is all about? Backstage singing? Lisa Fischer is a gem and an indeliable element of today´s Stones music. I like her as "mam" at least as much as when she was a "Babe".

Are You kidding? The main reason for me to go to any Stones concert after 1998 shall stay at home???? GS without Lisa, just with some over-over-over-rated nonsense stupid it-girl, claiming to know anything about rock singing??? Nonono, we wont let that happen, wont we?

This is the most distasteful "artwork" on any Rolling Stones record (or production) ever. Period. If they end their career with this crap, imho it would be a big shame. Isn´t there any artist out there, who can influence Mick Jagger a little towards the basic principles of aesthetics, teach him a little about "place tongue-logo in the middle of any face - and be it a gorilla´s -

Has anyone of you got clues about the Stones playing or not playing at the opening ceremony or at any other event of the Summer Olympics? Read some rumors about them performing together with Coldplay to background music, which would be recorded in the near future? Could that be the reason, why Ronnie compared going to the studio with preparing for the Olympics? Do you know about any other

I completely agree, the German version is ridiculously bad. Its a shame what HEYNE has done to this book.

The more positive reviews I read about the English version of "Life", the more I feel that I have to revise my earlier (negative) comment to the book as such. So far it appears to me that the German edition may be the weakest translation of all currently available editions. This is partially due to the fact that when some text is originally written in an informal, colloquial style, the

After about one hour and a half with this book (German edition) I cannot withhold any longer my deepest regrets to the RS fan community that this book ever happened.Its writing style is exceptionally bad, so that one wonders all the time, what far better outcome would have been achieved, if the man himself had written it alone (i.e. unedited spoken into a recorder).

Mick cannot dance either, but that is not the point. If You are searching for perfectionist performers go for any other band but the Rolling Stones. The miracle of their 46 year career in a very tough business lies mainly in the fact that while all their musical skills are quite average they pretend to be the best band in the world. Mick and Keith´s selfconfidence or our lack of it is the explan

Seems to me that the B-Stage concept is ruining the FOS-concept on this tour. People have become accustomed to a B-Stage, say to some hot spot midfield in the middle of the show. Consequently everybody tries to get as close to the "catwalk" as possible, for that´s the area "the Stones come by". This time this movement towards the center of the field is strongly supported by t
