Stones just tweeted that Katy is the guest tonight.
Why can't we just have Mick T do several songs instead of these painful pairings?

Grrrr

http://imgace.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/katy-perry-and-chimp-e1349933960736.jpg

And Doug said he heard Chuck Berry.
Could it be Berry and Perry??

Wait, its Katy Perry INSTEAD OF MICK TAYLOR???   Very few Stones fans are interested in KP, nevermind her ta-tas!  

WTF? At this rate I'll get Will Smith for Philly #1 and Who The Fuck knows for Philly #2.

At least it's not Lady Gaga. :kissmyass

Gaga was not good. Katy is much easier on the eyes.

What is a Katie Perry ffs?

Jesus fucking Christ.

Vegas audience gambled and lost big time tonight for sure.

Very easy on the eye, sure, but fuck me, this is turning into the X-Factor.

After the Raitt/Fogerty pairing this really is a case of from the sublime to the ridiculous.

Will Smith opening for Stones?  Yikes!  

Maybe in DC, they'll get the former Secretary of State to open...she and the Mr. are big Stones fans.

Ugh, they're slowly moving away from the whole 'this guy's a guest because we respect his music' thing... I hope

Is anyone else getting the impression that these guest appearances are shaping up to be the material that'll be used for the live album/DVD of this tour?

If so, its a horrendous concept that needs to be strangled at birth.

There are no opening acts on this tour. These are guest appearances.

I would love for Katy to hit a homerun, but I just ain't feeling it.

That's what should happen for these prices.

To make it fair, I could have my own wardobe malfuntion.

After all ...
It is....

Vegas, Baby!

You are correct sir!  I haven't been wearing pants at all!  I'm hoping the morning after Philly #1 people are talking about "that strange man with no pants in the pits."

Either that, or "the strange man with no 'pits in the pants ".

HAHHAHAHHAHHAHHAHAHHA!

I think tonight would be a great night to drink some more and watch some Stones dvds....in my under trousers.

Either that or all the guest-appearance footage will wind up on Youtube to drive advertising revenue.. Some time somewhere, money'll be made.

I'm starting to count myself extremely lucky to get Clapton at the 29th Nov O2 show. I don't really mind who guests at Hyde Park (if they even have one) - Gary Clark Jr opening for them will do jusssssst fine.

I thought the guests at the 02 shows were top notch and , more importantly, added to the proceedings.

Speaking of you tube footage, how bloody awful has the Stones official channel's footage been on this tour so far?

Two or three minute clips with a few seconds of badly mixed concert footage mixed in with cliched fan soundbites that have been done to death thousands of times before now. What gimp edits and uploads this worthless crap?

The band sound far better on some of the audience footage I've seen.

The official channel is run by children who have no idea what the fuck is going on.

that's an insult to clueless children… my kids make great youtube clips of games they play, and people watch the walk throughs… Stones youtube channel is a joke in regards to this tour...

Yeah the Youtube sound quality's been dire. I think the stuff they're uploading now is all processed quickly so it can be licensed out to media people asap. It'd be good to see some full length-songs uploaded though...

This seems alright - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=goUIRe3B5_0 but you can tell when Charlie comes in that it hasnt been mastered properly

I was amused by the posts, just came on here, is this all we get is little snippets of video?

<3 <3 <3   NO DOOM AND GLOOM HERE  ;)

let's see...

Rolling Stones - UMG


Keith Urban - Capitol Records (part of UMG)
John Fogerty - Capitol Records (part of UMG)
Katy Perry - Capitol Records (part of UMG)
Gwen Stefani - Interscope (part of UMG)
(not forgetting Lady Ga Ga who was a guest in 2012 - Interscope (part of UMG) )

Bonnie Raitt - Redwing Records (part of Sony Entertainment)
Tom Waits - - ANTI (part of Epitaph Records)


Hmmm...think I see a trend developing here. Shouldn't be much trouble getting label clearance for an album of duets.

Horrible idea if it's even being considered. Especially as a live album.  The ultimate 'pandering to the masses' corporate friendly release.

Motorhead U.S. tour ends in LA on May 14th. There are a few songs Lemmy could sing on.

http://www.universalmusic.com/artists

Lots of crap!!! Lots of big smelly crap!!!

Mariah Carey did tweet the Stones last year, and I see her on the crappy list. If she shows up in Philly I'll be pissed.

Marianne Faithful is on the label.

I hate to tell ya, kids - but Bon Jovi and Justin Bieber are both on the UMG roster.

So is Neil Diamond.

There are so many crappy crappy artists on that label. We might be stuck with the most laugh-out-loud guest appearances in the history of rock and roll.

Carla Bruni.

;D

Her and Mick can make some music.

Young Jeezy and Will I Am can join the band for Miss You. Mariah can do Gimme Shelter. Snoop Dogg can do the raps in Anyone Seen My Baby?

The Black Crowes are also on the label. I'd love that. Some rock and fucking roll.

Philly is too close to NJ for comfort, SW - I think you're gonna get The Singing Poodle.

Mariah Carey can fuck right off if she thinks she's going to warble all over the greatest song the Stones ever recorded.  >:(

Time to revisit the "dream" setlist posted before the tour

01. Satisfaction
02. Lets Spend The Night Together
03. Paint It Black
04. Gimme Shelter (with Rebecca Black)
05. You Got Me Rocking
06. Harlem Shuffle (with Kanye West & Chris Brown)
07. Angie
08. Doom And Gloom
09. One More Shot
10. Miss You (with Kevin Federline)
11. Before They Make Me Run
12. Happy
13. Sympathy For The Devil
14. It's Only Rock N Roll (with local battle of the bands winner)
15. Honky Tonk Women
16. Tumbling Dice (with Billy Joel)
17. Brown Sugar (with Mick Taylor)
--------
18. Start Me Up
19. Jumpin' Jack Flash

I'll be pissed if Bon Jovi shows up and ruins my night. I'm the King of Philadelphia and he can fuck off.

I heard Mariah just bought a condo near Hyde Park.....

That wasn't one of mine. My dream setlist would have been this, with Wyman and Taylor along for the whole show w/Mick, Keith, Charlie, and Ronnie.

9.      Lady Jane
10.      Plundered My Soul
11.      Jiving Sister Fanny
12.      Street Fighting Man
13.      Coming Down Again
14.      We Had It All
15.      Start Me Up

17.      All Down the Line
18.      Can’t You Hear Me Knocking

The promoter and ticket prices and Mick and Keith's voracious appetite for the green are picking these guests. I wonder if Keith will start swearing at fans again for throwing bottles at this utter crap they invite on stage with them. It's all about the music man, we do it for the fans. . . sorry, I just violently vomited.

Call me clueless...but i have no idea who Katy Perry is...I have heard the name...and i know
she is famous...but why?
never cared...even less so now.

Philly Guest...Daryl Hall... Verve records...of...you guessed it, UMG

I had this exact same thought- At this point I can already see the packaging for this as the Rolling Stones 50th Anniversary tour featuring a line up of guest stars including Eric Clapton, Bruce Springsteen,Lady Ga Ga, Katy Perry, Bonnie Raitt, John Fogerty etc. etc. To me the give away is the fact that I believe almost every star has played on different tunes-it makes it easy to promo all the different songs rather than have 10 different females singing on 10 different versions of Gimmie Shelter.

I can even see the packaging-the monkey climbing the Empire State Building with all the different stars looking up at him from the Observation Deck on the 86th floor with GaGa in one hand and Perry in the other!

You know BJ is gonna show up at Hyde Park. He just has too. :wtf1

I was actually pleasantly suprised by her performance. She did well and seemed to know the song really well to be able to perform it that well.

Same here. Unlike Gwen Stefani she did a very nice job. Mick’ s vocals were also very good, and so was Woody ;)

Nice theory but I definitely hope it's not right! Though it would explain why they're changing up the guest songs a lot more than last year...
:scary

Fuck this.  Let's just start inundating the Stones Twitter and Facebook feed with the MORE MICK TAYLOR business.  This is downright fucked.

Its awful music.  Really bad.  That whole genre of drawing out long notes whether it makes sense or not.  She tries to throw in a few warbles to show soul every now and then.  Terrible stuff.  That "baby, you're a shining star" thing that was hot last year.

They only cool thing about this woman is that she's pissing on her whacked out Christian parents by dressing and acting like she does.  I admire that.  Any time you can piss off a Christian, you are doing god's work.

Went OK until that falsetto bollocks in the bridge.

Overall not too bad. And she looked good.

Dont particularly need to hear it again or have it on a live album, though.

Beast of Burden ~ Las Vegas
http://youtu.be/y_3tbBPFhy0

Here's my video of Katy Perry doing Beast of Burden in Las Vegas. I had side stage seats, $85 uppers but I moved down 2 sections. She wasn't bad, and MICK seemed to enjoy her!

Tumbling Dice ~ this one is for Got To Roll Me! I will never hear this song again without thinking of her.
