"The Rolling Stones" Thread

[FORD]

I don't judge any performance by a poorly shot cell phone video. We had a troll hysteria episode on this site back in 2007 when some fucking sheep douchebag was trolling the board claiming that Wolfie was "faking" his bass parts, and basing his allegations on some shitty cell videos (pre iPhone days, no less) where the sound was so muddy you couldn't tell who was playing what in any case.

At least with the Glastonbury footage, you can actually complain about the Stones performance properly, if you want to

Aside from that, it's all been audience clips from this tour, except for the little 1 minute shots uploaded by the Stones camp themselves. They're obviously filming the entire tour and I suspect there will be another mega-DVD box set out by Xmas, just like there was with the last two tours. Probably all the "guest stars" will be included, though they can keep the Lady Gaga/Taylor Swift/Gwen Stefani performances out, as far as I'm concerned.

VHscraps has touched on an interesting point in that the amount of coverage rock and roll has gotten over the last two decades (accelerated alongside technological adnaces) isn't necessarily the best thing for the form.

In some ways, it's better that Van Halen haven't gone under the microscope to the extent that other bands have in terms of the VH1 Behind The Music treatment, at least in terms of the CVH years.

That was one of the many downsides of the back-and-forth in the press between Roth and the Van Halens after Dave split in 1985: the loss of a certain amount of mystique.

[FORD]

It is odd that not a single pro-shot show has surfaced yet of Van Halen. Not in 2007/08 or 2012/13.

Wasn't that Australian festival carried on TV down there like Glastonbury was like the BBC, or like most of the big single day shows on this contintent get from MTV, VH1, or even the fucking country channels on occasion (like Farm Aid)?

I'm sure if any Japanese networks had filmed a show, Cato would have uploaded it already.

What year did Keith Richards die ??

[kwame k]

'78 but his body is still too stoned to know it

What year did Keith Richards die ??

Probably around 1973 or so.....

...at least if you believe the Jehovas Witnesses doctrine that blood transfusions are "wrong" because the body is supposed to be dead if all the blood is drained out.

Did anyone see the Men's Health magazine cover with Keith on it from a couple of years ago?

Not sure if it had a headline, but the general sense you got from it was - haha! Still not dead, and I don't work out. The usual cover stars are jocks with huge pecs and six-packs ...

Then again, both Jagger and Paisley a lot in common: racism.

Paisley:
"Red flag on my chest is like the elephant in the corner of the South and I just walked him in the room"

Jagger:
Black girls just want to get fucked all night. I just don't have that much jam!"

[Zing!]

Have I mentioned lately that I fucking love this thread?

I picked this up today at BestBuy for $8.99


Have not seen it yet - hoping it does not suck

[Kristy]

Okay, watching it now. Sound is fair, camera angles fair but rough. Geeeeez, hippies sure were filthy in 1978.
