"The Rolling Stones" Thread

I'm likely going to Pittsburgh. Maybe Detroit.

Historically, when the Stones start a tour in the Fall, it's because they drop a new album right around Labor Day. I wonder if that's a sign that this long rumored new album is about to show up??

Supposedly they have been working on this record through the pandemic, despite the obvious challenges of not only working from home, but on separate continents. Keef's been living in LA. Ronnie's in England. Mick apparently has been bouncing around to various residences (saw a picture of him a few months back which definitely placed him in Arizona somewhere) Charlie's in the UK (but supposedly his parts are finished). Add Woody's recent health crisis to the mix and that's a lot of obstacles to making a record, but they claim it's been rolling along.

Even if the record doesn't come out by then, they could always try out some new songs on tour. Like they did with their new material in 1969... some of which ended up on "Let It Bleed" and some which didn't show up until "Sticky Fingers" in 1971.

But obviously this isn't 1969 any more.

Grohl is your Disneyland tour guide of Rock and Roll Land. Let me tell you all about it kiddies and this way to the Motorhead ride.

Was there some burning need for the Foo Fighters to remake Bee Gees songs? Or any of the other classic tunes they have covered? I can't think of single instance where any of the tunes the Foo Fighters covered ended up being nearly as good as the original versions to my ears, Bee Gees included.

I was always a bit puzzled as to how Dave Grohl became said Disneyland tour guide of Rock and Roll Land in the first place, and why so many older established artists were so eager to jump up onstage with the Foo Fighters and get Grohl's seal of approval.

They want to be associated with someone who has sold a bunch of albums after 1990...

Charlie Watts sitting this tour out due to recovery from a successful medical procedure. Steve Jordan will be filling in.

Good to see a relatively young kid getting his chance.

After Mick Jagger split up with Jerry Hall she ended up with a guy who was 12 years older than him and he got a girl who was 31 years younger than her. There is a 56 year age gap between their partners.

That ain't the Stones. It's the X-pensive Winos with special guest Mick Jagger.

Keef said he would never do the Stones without Charlie. They should stick with that. As long as this Delta bullshit keeps increasing, it's probably not a good idea to tour anyway.

I know Jerry's the dictionary definition of a "gold digger" but Murdoch, for fucks sake?? Never could see how any woman would find that attractive. Pretty sure Rupert's ex-wife Wendy Deng was only in it so she could report on everything the Murdochs were doing back to the ChiComs.

Nobody sounded like Bill Wyman but Darryl Jones works and nobody plays fills like Charlie Watts but a good drummer can make it work. A new drummer will throw the band because they played with Charlie the whole time. The only two people in The Stones you can’t replace are Mick and Keith. They are too up front and unique.

[Nitro Express]

The Stones need to hang it up. No original material since 2005, predictable boring stage shows and seeing a arthritic Keith Richards thinking he's 30 is beyond sad. Jagger can only market this shit for so long and the well is dry.

Saw them the last tour in Seattle. Keith was moving like an old man but played good. Mick was amazing. He still gets out there and moves.

Watching someone who annoys you self-destruct is a beautiful thing. Do Captain and Tenneil next Dave.

You can only bottle people up for so long. People need to get out.
