I blame it on Mick more than Ronnie and especially that little 20-something bitch.

I could easily see a Stones tour without Ronnie.
Screw that alcoholic loser and put Waddy or Eric or someone else up there and hit the road!

You guys gotta admit it though - How cool would it be to watch Mick run from one end of the stage to the other and back again all the while singing "satisfaction YEAH!" at 70??

Horrid, quite frankly.

Time to put the Peter Pan fixation away for good and get back to making a live show focus more on the substance instead of the spectacle.

Blame is moot.
They owe us NOTHING.
What other band has given SO much to their fans?

We are SPOILED.
Just like everything else you love in your life; you just take for granted that somehow, the Stones will
tour.

All I know is if I should be so lucky as to see that Band hit the stage again, I will be on my knees giving thanks. Since 1975 I have been fortunate to be in the prescence of sheer rock and roll brilliance.

NO OTHER BAND WILL EVER COME CLOSE TO THEM. EVER!!!!!!!!!

Yeah.

If he can still jump around and it doesnt detract from the performance, more power to him.

If anything, his onstage singing improved dramatically from 1989 when he toned down the over the top posturing and arse wiggling that had been the norm on previous tours and which made him sound winded after about half an hour. He learned how to pace himself better from then on, whilst still remaining a fantastic entertainer.

When you're touching 70 though, its time to let the music do the talking a little more than it already does at present, instead of relying on people gasping in awe at how fit you are for your age and how dazzling the spectacle is.

Mick's still an incredible performer even when he's performing on a tiny stage. Watch that Double Door club footage from Chicago in 1997 and see what I mean.

long before she was born... blaming her for Ronnie's problems is like blaming a snowflake for a blizzard.

Agreed. My own little fantasy is the Stones playing a straight blues set. No flashy stage or gazillion light effects...just the boys, instruments, amps and let it rip.

Mine too. Unfortunately it won't happen as long as their target audience demographic is one that they seem to reckon can't 'get' blues music (seemingly they're oblivious to the band's origins). Apart from 'Back of my hand' (jettisoned after a few performances in the first 6 months) and the performances of 'Champagne and Reefer' with Buddy Guy at the Beacon, did they play any blues songs on their last tour?
