I JUST SAW SYMPATHY FOR THE DEVIL ON THEIR DVD CALLED ROCK AND ROLL CIRCUS. THEY SOUNDED EVEN BETTER LIVE. NOT HEARD OF NOWADAYS. BANDS SOUND LIKE SHIT LIVE NOWADAYS CAUSE EVERYTHING HAS FILTERS AND SHIT HELPING. THEY ONLY SIGN HEADS THAT HAVE THE LOOK AND SO THAT SEEMS TO ALSO BRING THE QUALITY OF ARTISTS DOWN. JUST LOOK AT JAEGER, UGLY AS FUCK. DUDE WOULD NEVER GET SIGNED IN TODAY'S DAY IN AGE, BUT HE'S THE KING AND NEARLY EVERY BAND SUCKS IN THE NOW. JUST GET THAT DVD AND YOU'LL KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT. NO ONE WILL EVER TOP THEM.

Got my new haircut, I'm gonna get all the pussy.

i saw them a year ago and hated them so much. they are awful.
-
So would Koston if he did a demo at 60. What do you expect? This show I'm referring to is when he was in his prime. UNTOUCHABLE.

:picks up case of waters:
:marches into thread:
not now cheif, im in the fuckin zone!

theyre alright... mick jagger bugs the shit out of me and "shattered" is one of the most the most irritating song of all time.
-
early stuff is great and have a good friend that is around 19 or so that goes see them everytime they come and he claims there shows are awesome, so i'd be down to check them out
they definitely fell off in the 80s but their old shit is so good.

hahaha I hate that song. Outta check out the rock and roll circus though. Watching that kind of confirmed to me that they're the
greatest. To many artists have digital filters making their voice what it isn't, and when you hear them live you can tell they're just average.
-
I saw a movie of a rolling stones show on one of those really big screens, he had monitors telling him exactly what to do:
"Take off shirt and run to left wing of stage and dance"
-
so what, it's the voice that makes a great singer. Bet he didn't have a million filters raping his voice.
-
they didn't play at woodstock, can't be called 'the greatest' :)
-
they have more hits than any great besides the Beatles. I'm not talking radio hits either.
-
They have some songs that I really like, but I can't have too much respect for them because I can never find an album that I like start to finish. For every good song, there are 3 or 4 mediocre ones that I need to skip through.
-
that's with every band. And if they have good songs all around... filters. Music was music then. Now it's just overly produced robotic shit. I like me a little rawness in music.

they didnt release that footage til decades after it was filmed because they thought they were outdone by all the other bands, so I dont know if mick would agree with you on that one henry, but i personally like it on cd.
without the stones we wouldnt have that wonderful photosynthesis intro

trust me, with your music taste, your opinions on it should be few and far between.

they are a great band, but so played out, but there is a reason they are played
-
timeless. I've listened to them my whole life and it does get played out. Then you stop listening and hear a song years later and it's like the first time. I just recently heard the song Angie and it's one of their best. Never heard it before 07.
-
saw them live at fenway a couple years ago, they did not dissapoint.
-
i seriously can't believe so many don't have respect for the stones. definitely like them more than floyd and the beatles.
-
Dude, theyre classic!

All three are amazing in their own respects.
-
Dude, theyre classic!
the london singles set is my favorite
-
i think ive seen snippets from rock roll circus on vh1 classic. if i could find the torrent i would probably download it.
-
I've never really cared for stones, theres like only 2-3 songs I like by them. Just not my cup of tea, but I respect all bands,except those lame new age rappers and pop punk bands like fall out boy.

a story or two about their last big tour...
a very, very large touring outfit brings 20 - 25 trucks with them. like, a show that has its own stage, lots of lights and probably some pyro, tons of merch. im pretty sure that in 13 years i never worked an arena show with more than 23-25 trucks (this doesnt include outdoor festivals like ozzfest and lilith fair). anyway, when the rolling stones last came to vancouver they had 67 trucks. yeah, sixty-seven... they were renting big parking lots 10kms away from the arena in order to park all their rigs and trailers.
they were touring with three different stage setups. one for enormo-dome shows, like the size of a football field. another for smaller, more intimiate venues-- like hockey and basketball arenas. and a third setup for smaller venues of say 1500-5000 seats, like for a very large club. they brought this with them "just in case," whatever that means...
so, their enormo-dome stage is approximately 40+ trucks. they build a steel structure that is between 5 and 6 stories high (or at least has 5 or 6 distinct levels). this structure legally qualifies as a 'building', and so the stones need to have a municipal building inspector on site to approve the whole project prior to the show. this means they have to meet all kind of code about electrical, safety, escapability, etc.
in vancouver they played at bc place, a big domed football arena. i was one of the head forklift drivers (i dont do stagecraft, just un/loading with forks). crews had been working on the stage for about 3 days, around the clock, and the show was in two days. as i understand it from some riggers, a call came in late at night to the stage manager. his conversation was something like: "what? are you sure?" ... "oh for fucks sake, fine, okay, no worries, talk to you later." he had everyone stop work right there. STOP, STOP, STOP. turns out one of the stones had a sore throat or some such shit, and the show had been cancelled for the time being. everyone was sent home for the night, and the next morning at 7am they started taking everytihg apart and loading it back onto the trucks. kicker is, the next week, the stones were playing little acoustic shows at some obscure nightclub in new york city!
anyway, they promised to come back later that summer, and they did. i figure they probably lost a couple million on their vancouver show what with all the logistics involved, but i have 100% respect for those guys because they did come back. their fans mean a lot to them i guess, theres a lot of respect there. they didnt need to, they could have just said 'sorry its cancelled' they way so many hiphop shows do, or dudes like axel rose. but they came back and put on an awesome show, even though they lost money on it or barely broke even.

that happened to me in my town, but because he canceled everyone who bought tickets got a gift certificate for free chineese food. it was lik e $50 worth and my ticket only cost $20. not bad.

Everything everybody says about the Stones is true.
They should have quit 25 years ago, they're corporate hacks,
Mick Jagger is a fucking zombie, all that shit-
but they also had a ton of amazing songs and albums.
If you can listen to "Honky Tonk Women" or "Can't You Hear Me Knocking"
or goddamn motherfucking "Satisfaction" or about a dozen other tunes I could name
and not think that they were a pretty great band until about 1975,
you probably need to go back to listening to fucking Belle & Sebastian
or god knows what else and forget about actual rock music.
