[quote name='hiram.k.hackenbacker' timestamp='1372619036' post='2127795'] I'm starting to get a flavour of how you feel and I'm sure there are health care professionals out there that can help you. They're just a band. [/quote] Please refer me, I think you may be right.

[quote name='Dom in Somerset' timestamp='1372655535' post='2128103'] They [u]did[/u] play Paint it Black and Give me Shelter. [/quote] Hee hee..... I know but I didn't wanna say.

[quote name='Dingus' timestamp='1372634860' post='2128049'] If you enjoyed the Stones so much why not treat yourself and go the whole hog with your Keef tribute - rent a Chateau in the South of France and get yourself a kilo of smack and a blonde girl with big knockers . That open G tuning will start to sound even better , I guarantee it . [/quote] I'm wearing the T-shirt.....

Tuned one of my guitars open G today in honour of Keef, it's a Squier tele so it looks the part. Must admit it was lot if fun. I'm gonna leave it like that for a while.

[quote name='Dingus' timestamp='1372628525' post='2127967'] Thanks for the recommendation , but there is enough grinding misery in my life already . [/quote] I must admit NC is a miserable bastard, however is also a genius and at certain times in my life I've been quite drawn to his music.

[quote name='Woodinblack' timestamp='1372608478' post='2127633'] I didn't say that, I said that posts on how good they were here depended on whether you were a fan or not. [/quote] No you didn't.

This is gonna hurt mighty mite and all parts big time. You still have the ballache of fitting their parts with a decal if you wanna seal the deal as such. This is good news for me. I've been waiting for fender to do this for years.

[quote name='Woodinblack' timestamp='1372606460' post='2127612'] It seems from here that how good you think it is depends on whether you are a fan or not. I am not, I feel not much about them either way, just an old group that was never really that relevant to me. I saw about 15 minutes of it and turned over, I thought it was quite bad, even for them. I am guessing if you liked them you would see something different. Of the two people I know at glastonbury who mentioned them, one really enjoyed the set and the other didn't, but the first one was a lot more drunk! On the other hand, I am even less of a fan of Chic, but watched their whole show, that was great (especially the bass player). [/quote] I really don't see the point of this post. Of course how good you think they are depends on whether you are a fan or not. If you are not a fan you are hardly gonna say " watching the stones here, they are excellent but I think they are sh*t". Of course you would see something different if you liked them. As for you liking chic less but watching them more, what does that quantify, other than my level of confusion?

[quote name='hiram.k.hackenbacker' timestamp='1372593318' post='2127464'] As I said, I am also a fan and they were more than decent. Their age didn't seem to be an obstacle to being on stage for over two hours, so that's not really an issue is it? I just wish they would trim the fat on a few of the songs to make space for others from what must arguably be one of the best back catalogues in the history of music. At the prices they charge for tickets, I don't think that's too much to ask. [/quote] Nope.......that's not an option. To ask the Rolling Stones to edit their music to suit your taste is the height of arrogance. Unless of course you are Beelzebub😈, the keeper of their souls and the guy responsible for their meteoric rise to fame. Assuming you are not the aforementioned dark lord then I simply cannot entertain the notion that the Stones should shorten or edit their songs in any way to suit your inability to appreciate something in its entirety. Would you ask da Vinci to trim a few apostles from either side of the 'last supper' as it strained your neck to look completely from left to right and appreciate the complete scene, after all you're not an owl. Nuff said, you k ow how I feel.

[quote name='hiram.k.hackenbacker' timestamp='1372591599' post='2127451'] I'm a fan of TRS, but I think they have lost an edge. It's all very well playing "for well over two hours", but they still only managed twenty tunes (including the encore) and that's mainly because pretty much every song outstays its welcome by a good couple of minutes. I also get the feeling that guys like Mick Taylor are "invited" along because neither KR or RW can be bothered to put a decent solo together (not that guitar solos are everything or course). I switched off, mentally and physically, near the end of Midnight Rambler. [/quote] "Jesu christo" they are all 70 yo+ what do you expect from these guys. They were good. They were missing something......... Oh yeah, youth. I'm a massive fan so my judgement is clouded but they are still pretty decent.

[quote name='timmo' timestamp='1372586116' post='2127371'] Ted Manzie seemed to take it good heart which was my intention, which is the reason for me choosing one direction as using them as an example. I never thought anyone would take me seriously . I keep forgetting the type of things. What is a UFC forum? [/quote] I was messing too mate. I keep forgetting to add smiley faces etc. UFC as in ultimate fighter ;D

[quote name='Jazzneck' timestamp='1372576290' post='2127252'] So did I....even though I was watching it whilst eating a cheese and jam sandwich, drinking tea and wearing my Tescos slippers. [/quote] Cheese and pickle or jam is very nice.

[quote name='Stacker' timestamp='1372576667' post='2127256'] I thought they were a bit guff, aksh, apart from Charlie who looked like was really enjoying himself for once! Mick Taylor looked lost or beweildered. Or both. Anyone have an idea what that guitar Woody was using towards the end?? [/quote] Agreed. Charlie always looked the oldest and now he's starting to look the youngest. Taylor looked like a competition winner. Ronnies guitar with the pearl guard was beautiful. I would love to own their guitars. Keef has the coolest guitars in the business.

[quote name='timmo' timestamp='1372546366' post='2127153'] If you want the look perhaps One Direction is going to be more your thing. I would take the music over the look anyday [/quote] That's unnecessary and rude. It's the kinda comment that's more at home on a UFC type forum. This place is chilled and happy please try and behave.

Seems cheap. Link seems to be down also.

I think the Rolling Stones have the edge on hairdye over macca.

[quote name='Mickeyboro' timestamp='1370798360' post='2105685'] Has Joe had a stroke? He certainly had trouble getting his words out. [/quote] It's his top lip. It's about a foot long. It's always been that way. It looks like he's had a stroke alright but it's normal for him.

[quote name='ezbass' timestamp='1370776387' post='2105309'] I missed it unfortunately. But what a guy! [/quote] Agreed....... Catch it on Iplayer.

[quote name='clauster' timestamp='1370774147' post='2105279'] I was completely overdosed on it as a child. [/quote] I understand totally mate. I'm not even a fan but it has to be one of my favourite guiar solos of all time. I even dusted down my guitar after watching the show and had a bash.

[quote name='clauster' timestamp='1370772120' post='2105249'] I really enjoyed it. I've never been much of an Eagles fan, it was music my parents listened to when I was little. After last night I'm going to listen to more (still can't stand Hotel California though). [/quote] I love hotel California, it makes the hairs stand on the back of my neck.
