Fans already lodging complaints, even before Rolling Stones announce 50th anniversary tour

Rallying around a cry for smaller venues, lower ticket prices and a revamped set list, a group calling itself the Rolling Stones Liberation Front has lodged a series of demands — even before the group announces plans for an expected 50th anniversary tour in 2012.

The protesters argue that “it is unacceptable to charge up to $350 for a single ticket,” saying “a band needing to charge $85-$100 for upper balcony seats is a band no longer in touch with their fan base.” The Rolling Stones Liberation Front suggests a ticket price of no more than $30 — including service charges.

Too, they argue that “the time has passed for gargantuan mega-arena spectaculars,” calling for a concert-length presentation similar to the B-stage set up in the middle of the venue at the end of 1994’s Voodoo Lounge Tour, which could provide a more intimate experience.

The group would also like to liberate the Rolling Stones from a setlist that, they say, hews to “the same 30 songs for every tour,” saying: “We refuse to sit through another airing of the played-out hits.” Among the favorites that these protesters would like to see offed: “(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction,” “Brown Sugar,” “Honky Tonk Women,” “Start Me Up,” “Sympathy For The Devil.”

Other demands include the elimination of the horn section, backup singers and opening acts, as well. No word on the number of card-carrying affiliates of the new Rolling Stones Liberation Front, but members reportedly are “threatening non-violent, disruptive action” if their concerns are not addressed: “Now, it’s time The Rolling Stones give back or we will push back,” the group says in its mission statement. “Why give them more of our money and then settle for the usual? We won’t.”

Music, to me, is the joy, right? I love my kids most of the time, and I love my wife most of the time. Music I love all the time. It's the only constant thing in my life. It's the one thing you can count on. :Keith Richards 1993

Damn Is this anything like the 99%ers or 1%, You know the occupy A Stones Concert demonstrators?
Sorry but I'd be happy to hear that they are going to play again, and the chance to see or hear them.............
Would be a dream come true for me...IMO!
Sure it would be nice if the tickets were less expensive, at small club settings. They played the exact songs I wanted to hear. The lines to the bathrooms vanished when I had to go and the dumb ass that decided last time that this time it would be uncool to call in a bomb threat. That way I could hear Keith's stuff....yeah But I be happy anyway, with what I got,
Get what you get and don't cause a Shit, You might just find you get what you need! IMO.
Now let the beating begin!

Well even The Beach Boys are making an album of basically all new material (and if anyone is a pure nostalgia act it's these guys). I wonder if this will make The Stones take that into account in deciding to record new things or a new album for this year...

BTW ... it's been awful quiet for the past few weeks... anyone know of what any of them are up to recently?

Ringo Advises Rolling Stones to Tour in 2012
Bryan Wawzenek
|
02.01.2012

Ringo Starr is making the media rounds to promote his new album, Ringo 2012. In an interview with Spinner, the former Beatle spoke about performing live and that he would like to see The Rolling Stones back on the road.

“I hope they put it together and I hope they do a world tour,” he said. “We all should be out there. If we can play, we should be out there playing, and that's the deal. My new attitude is ‘as long as I can hold the sticks, I can play.’ And you may have noticed that in the last several years, I’m playing live more and more. I’m putting records out more and more. Let’s keep playing!

“That’s how it is. Our new hero is B.B. King. I say, ‘Look at B.B. King. He’s 86, but he’s still playing. He might be sitting down, but hey, I’m sitting down already’ [laughs]. I was talking to Billy Squier yesterday and I said, ‘Bill, just get out there and play. This is what we do.’

He then made a plea for the Stones to do a 50th anniversary tour.

“I only advise everybody to get out there and play and I hope The Rolling Stones pull it together and I hope Keith and Mick pull it together and stop squabbling and get out there and do it – says Ringo!”

I think you can reserve that cloud.

I have to be cryptic about this for obvious reasons, but a certain UK based Rocks Off member (not me) has within the last couple of days has had personal access to documentation which pretty much verifies that there will be a Rolling Stones tour in the coming months.
