How in the hell do you spend 2.5 million in 1 year?

I second that! How much could the Twinkie tour rider cost? And don't forget 2.5 million pounds is FIVE MILLION BUCKS.

Ronnie Wood is having financial troubles is a disgusting afront to every loyal Stones fan who shelled out a week's wages to go see him smoke, wave, and make faces on stage.

Do you think we are enabling the Ronnie (400 lb gorilla) by buying tickets ? I feel slightly sleazy doing it. maybe I can figure out how to go for free somehow!! I'm still paying for the money that Ronnie doesn't have anymore?! why is everybody always bending over backwards to help Ronnie?

sorry I'm such a bitch but GAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

It's a tough call. I've never gone to a Stones show thinking "man, Woodies' gonna shred tonight." I always looked at him thinking "shouldn't he be playing more?" But he's managed to hold onto the gig, so good for him I suppose.
The question is can the Stones still put on a great show. If so, they deserve to be paid well. Every major artist charges an arm and a leg these days. Curious to know the price of the new Springsteen tix.

$95 (with an extremely limited number of $65)

The bootlegs I heard of Werchter and I think Nijmegen 2007 were absolutely dreadful performance wise. They seemed to get it together as the tour went on but there is no excuse for putting on such a bad show regardless of the ticket price.

But my days of spending a 3 digit figure just for a stupid concert are over.

Hell one bank exec just spent 1.2 million on a bathroom upgrade (no not Joey) so it can be done!..As a matter of fact Mike Vick spent that much the week before going to jail.

Hmmm, this piece of news doesn't come completely as a surprise to me... And if true, I like Keith's subtle approach on the matter Grin

"Yeah, let's go out on the road, it's for Woody's sake man - and yes, I'll enjoy the tour by the way"

No seriously, it's about time, isn't it? really?

Don't let the whole financial crisis get to you, if they're planning anything they're obviously planning it for later this year and this crisis should have gone full circle by then... Once down in the gutter, the only way to go is up and blah blah blah. I bet we're in for some Stones surprises - good ones - in 2009... Wink

Yes, I did. He's the other tour this year besides U2, who I actually like.
