Title: Remember that contest...???
Post by Paranoid Android on Jul 14^th, 2015 at 7:08pm

The one where a winner was flown to an undisclosed location...to be met by the Stones official videographer...and make the infamous announcement...

"LADIES AND GENTLEMEN...THE ROLLING STONES!!!"

Well...here it is...nothing officially released...but you know this will NEVER be on any official release...it was at the Indy Speedway show...the debacle begins at about the 1:45 mark...

Christ......I thought he'd actually forgotten the name of the band for a few uncomfortable seconds!

Nice thrill for the guy.

I have two thoughts...maybe three...or four

-The pregnant pause was intentional on the winners part...Kool for him since he couldnt yell The Rolling Fucking Stones!!! He added a touch of suspense and drama (with a fail)

-He chocked...which I certainly think I could in his shoes...the audience laughter shows this is an awkward pause...I am not a good yeller...my voice cracks at super volume

-He could have really messed up that opening chord of JJF for Keef

-Jagger will NEVER allow this type of promo again...

I must have been doing LSD at that time.

I heard the winner was too scared to announce it so at the last minute someone else had to step in and get the job done.

So in other words we'll never know who the winner was in a rs.com contest where the prize actually involved having an encounter with the band?

Gee, that sounds familiar......

Could You IMAGINE!!!!

I was in a Scavenger Hunt Contest for front row, as a matter of fact the winner was on the big screen for a minute!
I didn't Win but I had FUN hunting for "The Goods"

You might be onto something Ellen...The winner was a female...perhaps her boyfriend stepped in?

Introducing the Rolling Stones/ JustAKissAway.rocks winner announced!

Congratulations to Megan Wood (no relation)! She’s the winner of the Introducing the Rolling Stones competition hosted on justakissaway.rocks.

Megan and her guest will fly to Indiana and announce the band at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway on July 4. She should expect some other goodies as well. To our dear runners up: Sticky Fingers vinyl is being shipped this week, 50 in all. Thanks for playing
