New thread but no replies yet? C'mon, Stones fans, say sumthin'!
Is anybody going to their shows? What do you expect?
Who likes Doom and Gloom? I do, a song with an opening line like:
I had a dream I was piloting a plane
And all the passengers were drunk and insane
...just has to be good! I think it's much better than Prince's new single.

Thanks for the new thread!

So did anyone pick up their copy yet? I still seem to find online retailers talking about a 2CD edition, is that possible?

I didn't get tickets and I was so disappointed. Last time they played the O2 (in 2007), I didn't have the money, so I bought a ticket to see Prince instead. And while Prince was fantastic, I have always really wanted to see the Stones. So I feel i've been waiting five years for this... but demand was so high i missed out again.

Doom and Gloom IS a fine song, yes

so, anyone got tickets? I've heard that the cheapest one was like 300 bucks or something...

ovember 13, 2012

Keith Richards, Mick Jagger, Charlie Watts and Ron Wood are celebrating 50 years of The Rolling Stones this year. The band released a compilation today titled GRRR!, which spans five decades of work, plus two new songs.

We asked each of the Stones to choose a song from the band's impressive catalog to discuss. Today, we begin with Keith Richards and his pick: "Street Fighting Man."

YouTube

For the 1968 track, Richards recorded an acoustic guitar through a cassette machine, naturally overloading the audio of the equipment with distortion.

"So you had this very electric sound, but at the same time, you had that curious and beautiful ring that only an acoustic guitar can give you," Richards tells NPR's Melissa Block. "It was just a bizarre way of making a record. And everybody, of course, is looking at me like I'm nuts. You know, I'm in the middle of this enormous studio with a little cassette machine and bowing before it with an acoustic guitar, and they go, 'What the hell is he doing? We'll humor him.' "

Sitars And Toy Drums

Just as crucial to Richards' unconventional cassette recording was Charlie Watts' equally unconventional drum kit.

"[Watts was] the only one at the time who got what I was going for," Richards says. "He actually brought along a little practice drum kit that fits in a little briefcase. Basically, you opened up the briefcase and there was a little cymbal and a tambourine and a pair of sticks. Charlie stuck with me on this track. I'm the rhythm player. I'm not a virtuoso soloist or anything like that. To work together with the drummer, that's my joy. This record, to me, is one of the examples of what can happen when two cats believe in each other."

Then there's the late Brian Jones, buzzing and droning through the track on sitar and tamboura.

"Brian was a master of picking up the weirdest instruments that happened to be around," Richards says. "Other records — he was playing bells. He was amazing at being able to master, at least for a certain song, a sound or an instrument that had nothing to do with guitars or anything. He was a great experimenter, Brian Jones. He threw a lot of flavors into a lot of our records that wouldn't have occurred to any of the rest of us."

'Still Working On Them'

"Street Fighting Man" was banned by some U.S. stations. It was called "subversive," but Richards says it wasn't meant to be provocative.

"I wanted the [sings] to sound like a French police siren," he says. "That was the year that all that stuff was going on in Paris and in London. There were all these riots that the generation that I belonged to, for better or worse, was starting to get antsy. You could count on somebody in America to find something offensive about something — you still can. Bless their hearts. I love America for that very reason."

Richards says he has no doubt that "Street Fighting Man" will be a part of the upcoming Rolling Stones tour, likening that song and other Stones hits — "Jumping Jack Flash" and "Brown Sugar" — to the expensive sports cars from Maserati and Ferrari. ("You had the chassis," he says, "and now you remodel the body.")

"They're always interesting to play. You're not playing the same thing ever with songs like that. There's no de rigueur — sorry, I've just got back from Paris; I'm trying to get rid of my French," Richards says, laughing. "These riffs were built to last a lifetime, and I'm still working on them, you know?"

"Climb in my fur."

One More Shot sounds dangerously similar to AC/DC's You Shook Me All Night Long eek

Finally got my copy of GRRR! yesterday. I picked the regular 3CD edition, it comes in a digipack. The inlay has 1962-2012 written inside, it looks really cool, just like the booklet. The 2CD edition comes in a jewel case, still don't see why they released it since it's not that far off from Forty Licks with its 40 tracks.

The sequencing of the tracks is really good, previously it was discussed that "She's A Rainbow" was put to CD2 for a better flow, and while playing CD3 I noticed "Streets Of Love" is way up in the tracklist, it should be the last one before the two new songs.

Watched some videos online. They sounded great!

Conflict over whether or not to spend money on tickets for their next show. They're so expensive confused

Mick belongs in the pantheon of front men. 50 years on, he and the boys rock harder than posers nearly half their age.

pure insanity, right?

I can't believe that tours like SteelWheels/Urban Jungle (89-91) and Voodoo Lounge (94-95) are already "classic" (old)

lol !

those guys were blessed with ageless bodies

Im definitely a massive Stones fan and i think "Doom And Gloom" totally smokes Rock And Roll Love Affair. I hope they bring the tour down under to Melbourne

E! Entertainment to Air Special Before Rolling Stones' Pay-per-View Concert

December 6, 2012

Link

E! will broadcast a live pre-show ahead of the final night of the Rolling Stones’ 50 & Counting anniversary shows at Newark, N.J.’s Prudential Center, the network announced Tuesday.

The one-hour special, dubbed “Live From the Rolling Stones,” will air on Dec. 15 and feature behind-the-scenes access to the show and exclusive interviews with Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Charlie Watts and Ronnie Wood.

“Live From the Rolling Stones” acts as a lead into the performance, which will also be broadcast on pay-per-view on Dec. 15 at 9 p.m. Eastern time/6 p.m. Pacific time through cable and satellite providers.

The band kicked off its 50 & Counting tour last week in London with a 2½-hour concert that included guest appearances from Mary J. Blige, Jeff Beck and ex-Stones Bill Wyman and Mick Taylor. The brief run celebrating their half-century together will stop in Brooklyn on Saturday (with Blige and buzzy guitarist Gary Clark Jr. tapped to join them) before the final two shows at Newark’s Prudential Center.

WWE, the leading provider of pay-per-view programming, teamed with Dainty Group and Endemol to distribute and market the event, which they’ve titled “One More Shot” (which is also the name of one of two new tunes on the Stones' recent retrospective, "GRRR!").
