Will The Stones Try To Outdo You Know Who?
Mar 31^st, 2009 at 3:32pm

With the mammoth stage for U2 I have to wonder if the Stones will be content being outdone spectacle wise? The stage is so much larger and sound system apparently too I wonder in these economic times if the Stones will even try or actually could top it? Its likely that gross is safe (maybe forever) but the sheer spectacle seems in jeopardy. I know music should count most but ya gotta wonder. Cant see the boys embarking on a small scale arena tour in the wake of U2's extravaganza.

Reply #1 - Mar 31^st, 2009 at 4:14pm i doubt it myself. i don't understand the hype for u2 anyway. they are just 4 guys and they have no variety...no piano, no nothing. i don't see why they are soooo popular. i like some of there songs. my answere is the stones probably don't care.

Think Again my Stones Lovin' pal !!!!

Every U2 concert date is listed as either : " SOLD OUT " or " Tickets Go on Sale ___________ "

www.U2.com

In fact , CNN is reporting that Vegas is now giving 2-1 odds that ABB Gross is ' pulverized ' by Halloween .

Are you fucking serious?

I would suggest you use your lifelines and phone a friend or ask the audience before committing to that answer.

That statement is about as likely to be accurate as claiming that Keith doesn't have any intention of having another drink or Charlie is planning to sign up for 'Dancing With The Stars'

LJ.

the ticket pricing structure of the U2 tour will ensure that even if they tour for three years instead of the planned two, there isnt a chance in hell of that happening.

The Stones fans who seem to think of this as important can sleep easily in their beds.

Unless there's hyperinflation similar to that in Zimbabwe or in Germany after the Wall Street Crash, that record is pretty much secure for the next decade at least.

Please come out to Mama Luigi's Pizzeria & Restaurante before the show that night and help suport The Voodoo Pugs*

*NOTE: Please bring lots of cash, as a large collection will be needed to help the band pay for the gig.
