typical idiot thread on iorr- the stones have never done a bad tour.they may have had off nights like any band will but to say "that tour sucked" or this one was "worse" is just a bunch of jerkoffs watching grainy videos and listening to bootlegs and pretending they know what the band sounded like live years ago. i saw shows on the 75,78 and 81 tours and they were a great l

thanks for telling me what bothers me.i actually thought the comment about lisa was the worst because it was a personal attack on someone. the comments about the band "packing it in" and "keith being finished " are just stupid.why would you spend time on a message board talking about a band you dont think should exist? it makes no sense,yet we have to suffer through you

i think keith kept paying the rent on the place but didnt live there,it was for some legal reason to do with the bust. 16 rooms isnt really that big,some of these mega-mansions today have 16 bathrooms. i think 6000 sq feet is the cutoff for a house being an actual mansion so it would most likely qualify. having said that,what an amazing place.hows that for a location, the entire setting lo

i notice every time the topic of the bands solo records comes up,without fail they are compared to each others but never any other musicians. keiths two solo records are better than anything john lennon ever put out as a solo artist. wandering spirit is better than any page or plant solo record "i've got my own album to do' - is better than any of mccartneys mainstream solo pop.

He blames Mick for sex addiction, Ronnie for freebasing, Bill and Brian for whatever. I would think that person who indulged in his own weaknesses can be expected to be more open minded/sympathetic to others. btw, Jo writes that it was Bobby Keys who introduced Woods

the stones are exactly what they were in 1962 and 1969 and 75 and every other year they've ever played. i hate to break it to some of the folks who thought something more was happening than music but guess what,it wasn't. i'm sure back in the 1960s it had a real deep meaning to people but it all added up to one thing.and that one thing is the same today-a working band playing music and get
