The Rolling Stones are cunts…
While the Beatles (like them or not) have released rare and remastered material in recent years, Jagger and Co have just re-re-re released yet another greatest hits album of their post 1971 material… To my knowledge there have been half a dozen hits compilations covering the 70s onward…. While the cunts still refuse to do a deal with ABKCO to put out deluxe versions of Beggars Banquet or Let It Bleed with unreleased takes and material, they continue to cash in on their later inferior output for the cunteenth time…
Nobody gives a fuck about the later stuff, especially the crap they did after Goats Head Soup… Fans want the shit from the glory years, the 1960s, the Brian Jones era… Someone should tell old rubber gob that, the avaricious old cunt…

Na, sorry Norm I refuse to cunt the Rolling old bones,theres too much to like and admire,the medical miracle that is Keef Richards,the heroin addled jazz loving Charlie Watts whos stayed faithful to his missus for 50 years,the drink sodden Ronnie Wood whos an accomplished painter ,and of course that randy old goat Mick Jagger,still prancing about on stage like a 25 year old, happily shagging babes young enough to be his granddaughters.Whats there not to like?

Fed up of all those fuckin’ old groups even though it was my era. How the fuck can those old twats still pretend to sing especially that geriatric McCartney? I prefer to listen to newer groups such as the Decemberists and the National who remind me of the music of my youth and still produce good music unlike much of the present day dross.

Aged men trying to recreate their youth is sad to me. Rock n Roll is born out of a young mans angst.
You don’t get many great songs written by anyone over he age of 30.
The stones have been a parody of themselves for decades. A modern day example is Eminem, love him or hate him his early stuff was full of fire, humour and he was at the top of his game, he’s what 47 now? His later stuff is embarrassing shite.
It’s like a well worn middle aged woman who decides to wear her 20 year old daughters outfits and plaster herself in makeup, she’s the only one who doesn’t realise she’s ridiculous.
Springsteen Glory Days and even that cunt isn’t self aware enough to realise his own words apply to himself.

“You don’t get many great songs written by anyone over he age of 30.”
Probably right but Neil Young was 44 when he wrote “Rockin’ in the Free World” one of the all time classics.

I know he’s talented and all but I can’t stand the cunt.
Besides personally I’m not a fan of the song either.
Music is very subjective so each to their own.
7
and then The Alarm beat him to releasing it….

If only they’d gone done in a tragic private plane crash like Buddy Holly… in say, 1974. ‘Some Girls’ (1978) wasn’t bad though. They should now do the decent thing and fuck off to Dignitas.
7
Should read “If only they’d gone DOWN…” ffs! 😡
2
Oddly enough, they “performed” in Switzerland when I was living there; Migros was raffling tickets.
Sadly they must’ve missed the bus for Dignitas…

If mugs are still prepared to buy their compilations then sure as eggs are eggs the record studios will continue to churn out more of the same but with a slightly different mix and a slightly different album title.
It’s one of those Einstein moments – “The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, but expecting different results!”
1
It would be better for everyone if all “icons” from one’s youth died early, Pop singers,sports stars, film heroes and particularly good looking women. That way we wouldn’t have to witness them turning into wrinkly,boring Cunts and reminding us that we are doing the same.
Fuck Off.
19
Haha. I too would like them churned up with the buttercups.
They’re alright I guess but at some point people need to bow out and fuck off. Well past their prime and just playing so other crusty old bints can fob off and try to recapture some spirit of their youthful days.
ps Floyd is way better.

Love i’m afraid. Saw them at Hyde Park in 2013 and Twickers last year. Unfortunately booked to go to Chicago with eldest son in June and now Jaggers ticker is playing up we are left with a 4 day holiday but no Strolling Bones, meaning i believe, we are now officially cunts.

Bad luck Helmit but there’s always the rescheduled dates if you insured against cancellation……and if you didn’t you’ll no doubt be calling yourself a cheapskate cunt.
“Saw” Stones at Knebworth 76. They came on 2hrs late around 11pm; blisteringly hot drought summer’s day and I had a banging migraine from too much cider, substances and sunshine. Had to bale out and find a hedge to kip in before the end.
Decent support acts : (Probably Gryphon who were invariably bottom of the bill their entire career) ; post-crash Lynyrd Skynyrd; last-ever gig by the classic 10CC lineup but best of all was Rundgren…..who by complete coincidence is about to play a very very rare one-off show at Hammersmith tomorrow.

Have you stepped inside your wardrobe and found Narnia?

Not a huge fan but Satisfaction is an all time great. Jagger notoriously tight fisted I believe. I also read that Keef told Duran Duran to fuck off when they asked to watch him in the studio, so ok by me.
5
I can’t knock any of the old bands because I still go a watch the fuckers.
It’s good to reminisce and let what hair I have left down.

At the moment,on Sly News, there is some pikey fucking slag spouting about the discrimination that the ‘ travelling community ‘ face, this is in response to a report by MP’s, which claims that the Pikey Scum are hard done by.
Fuck off you smelly, thieving, scrawny piece of human filth.
You and your ilk should be driven into the fucking sea.
Get to fuck.

Oh that’s right, all over me fucking post.
Jack, let’s be clear on this, There are a number of safety devices on this site that protect it, The Moderators spend their time hooking comments out of the cyber bin and approving them, we do not fuck with posts (apart from this one).

Respect Admin – Are you Sir Limply ? Just that the venerable cunter wrongly types “et cetera” every time as ect when it should be etc…
Just asking

Just one thing to say. We all know that Keef cannot be killed by conventional means……

So the old Rocker gets out his bike
to make a ton before he takes his leave.
Up on the A1 by Scotch Corner
just like it used to be.
And as he flies — tears in his eyes —
his wind-whipped words echo the final take
and he hits the trunk road doing around 120
with no room left to brake.
And he was too old to Rock’n’Roll but he was too young to die.
No, you’re never too old to Rock’n’Roll if you’re too young to die.
Amen.
Though Iain Anderson certainly churned out some complete wank after this…

Check out Locomotive Breath from that era.
Life’s a Long Song was a very under-rated hit too. Tull never got the acclaim they deserved.
2
Locomotive Breath, yes indeed. Aqualung was a great album. I was thinking more of the later stuff. Stormwatch onwards. Never worked out what audience it could have possibly been written for. Hobbits, perhaps?
2
I’m a ‘This Was’ /’Stand Up’ man me.
2
Stand Up was the first and best one I got. Wish he’d stuck to that mode, on the whole. Lost the vinyl and the 8-track (!) but still got the CD.
2
Jethro Tull was hit an miss, I agree that stand up and aqualung was their best, benefit had a few choice tracks too like To cry you a song and with you there to help me
“Never worked out what audience it could have possibly been written for. Hobbits, perhaps?”
They definitely are a big hit with renaissance fair crowd larpers and the high fantasy folk LOTR and game of thrones fans wouldn’t feel out of place listening to Tull thats forsure. Stormwatch had 2 decent tracks tho dark ages and north sea oil pretty spotty after that album with their lackluster 80’s output
3
Never bought a Stones record. ‘The Last time’ wasn’t bad. I was a Pretty Things fan but I stopped buying their stuff a while back. Almost all bands turn to shit eventually. Only Arthur Lee created quality right up to the end.
1
Arthur’s post ‘Forever Changes’ output was pretty patchy imo, especially stuff recorded after ‘False Start’.
1
Depends what you like. I’m not into horns, strings and acoustic guitars. Give me Four Sail / Vindicator any day.

I got a free ticket to see TRS at Wembley Stadium in 1989 or 1990 on their Steel Wheels tour. Never been a fan particularly, but I was very impressed by how tight the band were and the stage production was fantastic.
Releasing yet another greatest hits compilation, if other artists I do follow is anything to go by, probably has nothing to do with TRS. They might not even know about it. It’s usually a record company thing. It’s quick easy money for them for very little effort.
The fact TRS are still touring at their age is, on some levels, unfortunate. I’d imagine giving up playing your own songs in front of large adoring crowds would be quite hard to do. Especially if that’s all you’ve known for the last several decades. I know I wouldn’t want to leave a concert of some of my favourite artists and think to myself, “oh dear, that’s now embarrassing”.
3
Hate to admit it but they were a complete shambles at Glastonbury couple of years back,poor Keef was so out of it he didnt seem to know in which direction the crowd were.I still love the old bastards though.
2
Never liked the Stones after Sticky Fingers . The only decent album post Brian Jones.
They all look like they’ve been dead for a month nowadays Turning out one shite album after another.
2
Agree Fenton – Sticky Fingers was great.
But Exile On Main Street was Mick Taylor era Stones at their peak imho…
1
Loved the stones
Loved the stone roses
Seen both live recently
Never listened to them since
Absolute rip off cunts
1
The Stones have total control of their post 1971 output… So this latest hits compilation is of their own doing… However, they continue to block the release of any of their rare and unissued 60s material… So while there has been rare stuff from the Beatles, Kinks, Small Faces, Hendrix and The Who in recent years, the Stones continue to feud with ABKCO and the 60s legacy gathers dust…. Selfish old cunts….
3
I stand corrected, Norm.
How the heck did they get copyright and publishing rights to everything post 1971?
1
60s Stones manager, Andrew Loog Oldham sold all their 60s recordings to his sucessor Allen Klein without telling the band… So ABKCO owns everything from 1963 to 1970… After the Stones severed ties with Oldham, Klein and Decca they formed their own label (with the tongue thing) and they were more or less managed by Jagger when Keef was out of it on horse…. Everything including and after Sticky Fingers is owned by the Stones… They had a go at getting their 60s stuff back in the 80s, but they settled for a pay off and a royalties deal… Klein is now dead, but his heirs now own everything from the 1960s that the Stones recorded… Klein also briefly owned all Beatles material… But McCartney hammered the cunt (and the three other Beatles)… Had he not done so there would probably be a lack of Beatles releases very similar to the non issue of 60s Stones material… John and Yoko were fucking cunts….
2
“the 60s legacy gathers dust”
I guess thats why their technically first album 2120 south michigan avenue never got a proper release? best rolling stones collection of oddites and bsides is their album metamorphosis norman 8 songs on that album rarely ever get put on there greatest hits albums for some reason

A rare clip from when the Stones were ace…

What’s with the Myra Hindley body double?
2
Child of the moon was a smashing track norm, it was on the bside of jumping jack flash if my musical memory serves me right
2
They’ve produced very little of note since the new boy little Ronnie Wood replaced Mick Taylor.
2
Ronnie literally brought nothing new to the group the only worthy song of mention he is credited to helping write is “Its only rock’n’roll (but I like it)”
Hes a very fine painter and has a small handful of decent solo songs but he brought piss to the stones as far as songs go According to a stones bio I was reading he was hired on the spot by keef mostly because how well they got along and quickly became drinking buddies and did lots of coke together a fine guitar player but never had Taylors energy especially live
