The arse-crawling over their new album ‘Hackney Diamonds’ has been horrible to witness.
Yes, they once were great. But 1978’s ‘Some Girls’ was their last really great album.
Of course, everything they have put out since then gets the knee-jerk accolade ‘Their best since Some Girls’.
Only thing is, it isn’t. Hackney Diamonds is mostly crap. But cunts are falling over themselves for it. Some – hipsters and millennial cunts – are doing it to appear ‘cool’ and to make out they have a knowledge of real rock ‘n’roll. Others are praising it out of sentimental sympathy, because of the death of Charlie Watts. All that crap,’Awww! Isn’t it great that they are still together?’
Well, no, it isn’t. It’s very sad and almost pathetic to see Mick and Keef still doddering around hoovering up the moolah with the Rolling Stones ‘brand’ when all the other members are either long since departed or dead.
This is a band that really was great and who put the fear of God into the press and the authorities in the 1960s. A reminder of what they once were…

They were the top of their game during the 60’s ( the Brian Jones era) after Sticky Fingers they were going down the road of corporate rock.
By the way, that new Beatles song is fucking dull shite. Mccartney should be ashamed of himself

Not as good as The Frog Chorus, FF?
Mull of Fuckintyre was the best thing McCartney ever did, courtesy of Marc and Lard:

Evening Thomas
Really captures the spirit of vinyl records.
Mark and Lard were brilliant.
I remember hearing this gem back in the day and laughing my tits off.

Lard was in The Fall. Till Mark .E. Smith sacked him.
Smith was a rabid City fan, but he was also a dry funny cunt.
RIP

We can’t even hear George. Ringo sounds like he’s drumming on a peddle bin. And Macca croaks every now and then (Boom Boom!). And John’s voice can’t save it.
Harrison and Starr’s own Beatles tribute was better. At least it sounds like them.

And Macca’s George impression in the solo doesn’t cut it.
For years, he dumbed down the lad and told him what to (and what not to) play. And now he wants to sound like him?!

A fucking dirge. Sums up Lennon in his later dats.

True Cuntstable.
He spent his last recording years doing songs constantly apologising to Yoko Fucking Beatle Eater Ono.

@Cuntstable. Dirge is the word that popped into my head when I heard this bag of shite.
Good morning.

Re nom link: Jagger does a brilliant impersonation of Freddie Starr. Just kidding – they WERE truly great.

I’ve not heard the album so I’ll reserve comment for now. All I would say as a septagenarian is that if it’s what you do, then you rock till you drop. It’s about the music not the money.
If you want a good read, then Keef’s autobiography is a rattling good read. If you want to hear Keef at his best try ‘Wicked as it seems’ off his Main Offender album.
Alternatively, there’s my usual cynical Xmas single ‘Enforced Jollity’ on your favourite streaming site now. (plug, plug – I Do need the money unlike the Stones)

I don’t know, I do like Bruce Springsteen’s Santa Claus is Coming to Town. He sounds pissed up, and also taking the piss, which is what the spirit of Christmas is in Britain 2023.

I loved that last Who album….

A millennial mate of mine told me he was going to see them live about 5 times in the space of a fortnight during a recent tour.
‘real rock n rollers’
‘proper rock n rollers’
I said ‘yeah.. i’m taking my nan to see Russell Watson’.
Talk about raised heckles.
