Quotetatters QuoteBeast of Babylon Ronnie wood has been a stone longer that Bill, Mick T and Brian COMBINED. Almost, but not quite. In another four years or so that will be true. Not really, technically. Ronnie has been a band member since 1994, if I am not mistaken, he has been a hired hand until then. I always found that strange, but that's the way it is, right? Of course he has played long

QuoteIrix Paris? To travel less, they could stay in Paris and play also shows in London and e. g. Cologne. They will stay in Paris to play in London. Now, that made me laugh. Yes, there are strong rumours they will play 3 subsequent nights in London and return to Paris after each concert to get 2 hours of sleep.

I always have this dilema too. Everyone does. While queuing in front of the entrance, I always tell the people behind me that I go to the bathroom and that I will be right back. Never had a problem with that. Once inside the venue, it is pretty much the same. I always ask the people around (if I am not with anyone else) to keep my place and I leave my bag there. I only leave thigs that I could co

It is obviously a PR strategy they decided to use. And it surely works on a lot of people, but it might have exactly the opposite effect on others. Half a year ago I was really excited and sure I would travel quite far to see them. Not overseas, but further than I am willing to travel to see other acts I love. Now I am not excited anymore. If they played reasonably close, for at least a bit r

Grison, that Springsteen concert had a FOS, but it was really huge at a stadium and that spot was still hard earned by long standing. Anyway, I understand, that the seating arrangement at those Stones' concert was way different. Still, those VIP buffets, or generally any VIP stuff at rock concerts has absolutely no appeal to me.

I stood next to 4 people from UK or US, I don't remember, and they had some VIP tickets for some ridiculous money and could go to some VIP

I saw BB in 2009 and again in 2011. I enjoyed both of those shows, but the difference of 2 years was very obvious. I would call that one in 2009 a great concert. Sure, it was not the same as 20 or 30 or more years ago (which I only know from DVDs), but it was still musically very good. A lot of talking, yes, but enough of music too. In 2011, there was even waaaay more talking and waaay les
