Russ Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 Well I am sure my buddy is off to see them wherever again. Not even 30 and I think he's seen them something like 20+ times now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riffraff Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 I mean if you’re a fan of about the same age chances are you’re vision and hearing are impaired so....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crabcakes Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 Aside from Jagger not being able to carry a tune and relying on back up vocalists, they look pretty much the same as they did 20 years ago. Just don't look too closely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YEGCanuck Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 The Stones are my all time favorite rock band. Some of their tunes are classics, always have been and always will be. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nucker 67 Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 How much money do they need? I'm sure ticket prices will be outrageous anywhere they play. Maybe it's time they start giving back to the fans. Do a global tour of great bars, charge $100 a ticket (only way to go is to qualify for ticket draws by answering Stones trivia). Beef up security at these shows. They would be very exclusive, and really, a bar would be the best place to see this band. A little "Honky Tonk Women" with 500 other Stones fans sounds like a good party. But if it's about the money, then they'll play stadiums and charge the average Joe an outrageous amount. And the sound will be terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gnarcore Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 They were never that great live to begin with....glorified garage band but damn they have been downright awful for 20+ years at this point. 34 minutes ago, NUCKER67 said: How much money do they need?

It's not about the money at this point...it has to be about the rush you get from the shows. It is probably what is keeping them alive.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUPERTKBD Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 Never been a fan of the Stones. Ronnie Wood is the only above-average musician and I've always thought Jagger was a terrible vocalist. I give them credit for some great songwriting. It's just too bad someone else doesn't perform it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They crave the limelight. Thousand of fans cheering for you when you are a grandpa is probably the best feeling only outmatched by the handfuls of Viagra they are downing after the show.

I used to play in a few bands and played a few dozen gigs at small punk shows. Most was prob 200 people....and that was still a massive rush....

Agree with this....They cannot retire and reminisce about the 60's and 70's..I just think that that they should do select gigs,as those giant stages are just magnetizing their age and lack of mobility (Jagger is still doing a great job though). Even though the Manchester gig was sold out,the crowd seemed pretty dead to me IMO....Clearly,theres still a demand to see them live,so what do I know.

GLASSJAW Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 top 2 or 3 best rock bands of all time, for my money. maybe even #1. pretty sure that'd be a much more widely shared consensus if only they called it quits sooner. their output from 1966-1972 is unbelievably stellar: aftermath (1966) between the buttons (1967) their satanic majesty's request (1967) beggars banquet (1968) let it bleed (1969) sticky fingers (1971) exile on mainstreet (1972) oof. tough to beat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tre Mac Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 I couldn't even play 'Satisfaction' on guitar without shooting myself due to sheer boredom, how the hell do they play that song 1000's of times and not have the same feeling? I remember Silverchair saying they didn't want to play 'Tomorrow' anymore and that was after only a couple of years of touring lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Satisfaction" is not one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
