May I be informed here or via PM why my post was deleted? I thought at least 75% of it was Stones humor that other would relate to.

I did it Moonie, sorry

Do you remember your post Sir? Sometimes I like black humour but what you wrote was really of bad taste, saying that the best moment in the Rolling Stones history was when Brian passed away was beyond anything, no jokes about someone's death are allowed here, not just Brian's... sorry. Our tolerance is really light compared with other places but you went too far with that, thanks for understanding my friend.

I'm glad I didn't see that post. Do people here really hate Brian that much? I find that to be astounding, as, if not for Brian, this board might be named "Little Blue Boy and the Blue Boys". Brian was by no means a saint, but, to hate the founder, namer, early promoter, and man who charted the band's early musical direction....well, I just don't get it. Even if Mick and Keith had kept it together themselves, and written and recorded most of the 60's song catalog that the band enjoyed, those songs would have been missing the vital "flavor", brought by Brian Jones, that made them stand out from other songs by other bands of the day.

I can see the hatred if we were talking about Hitler or Stalin or Bin Laden, etc., but Brian? How tragic it would have been to lose ANY member of that band. Sad

I also find it astounding that someone could hate Brian that much. He formed The Rolling Stones, they were his idea.

If you dont like Brian, thats one thing, but that remark sounds off the wall.

Thanks muffball. Please monitor other stuff you haven't even read so we get a true informed perspective.

This is what I read;

saying that the best moment in the Rolling Stones history was when Brian passed away was beyond anything

Toosh. That was the essence. Keep in mind it was commenting on article that said Jones death was worst thing that ever happened to Stones.. Which it was clearly not.

Brian was not a member of The Stones when he passed. However, losing Brian from the band was one of the worst things to happen to The Stones, imho.

Stu's death was a definate low point. The glue came out and it showed.

Comparing deaths, injuries and things that were not in the band's control i.e. becoming tax exiles to just plain bad decisions in the same list seems in poor taste to me. The deaths of the two founding members of the band is even remotely close to recording a lousy album? stu watching how stupid we are LOL

On the seperate just bad decision list...State of Shock and Let's Work....Mick what on earth were you thinking?

That was a shocker wasn't it?

For me it was a new feeling as a stones fan. When I saw that video - also the first time hearing the track- it was also the first time I ever watched Mick at work (pun intended) and thought to myself "that not cool. In fact, it's very uncool."

oh my gods, how could you forsake me!?

Although as I mentioned in my first post - those lemon yellow tights were just about too much.

Somewhere on you tube, you should be able to find Mick's 'performance' of this monstrosity on Top Of The Pops.

Its not for the faint-hearted. You may need to be sitting down and kept well away from sharp objects when viewing. It may even be advised to hide behind the sofa out of embarrassment, just to be on the safe side.

It's the Rolling Stones equivalent of the Chernobyl explosion. Thousands of people who experienced it suffered ill-effects for years afterwards and even 25 years later, if you're going anywhere near it, you should only do so with extreme caution and be sure to wear protective clothing.

Ah Yeah, Sir Mick's "Let's Work" is right down there with Chuck Berry's "My Ding a Ling",
Except, I kind understand why Berry defends Ding a Ling, being his only #1 and he still gets money from it!
What were you thinking Sir Mick. I had all but forgotten this For lack of a better word.........Turd on the run, song.... Blank Frigging Stare

Let the beatings begin.

@kilroy: as far as I'm concerned RFD and Sol arent even Stones songs either. The release of ABB was the biggest mistake the Stones ever made: it was proof that then Stones lost their mojo in the studio and gave anyone who called this incarnation of the band the worlds best paid tribute band a reason to say 'told you so'.

ABB is built around a set of leftovers from Goddess In The Doorway. If you want to call that a Stones album, be my guest. Personally I can smile a about the irony of the fact that there's a song included on that stinker of an album that is titled 'Biggest Mistake'. So IMO any list of worst moments of the Stones that doesn't include their horrible letdown of a final album is not to be taken seriously. At least b2b and Dirty Work had some character.

It's a legacy destroyer and I'm just glad they did omay on the tour and released two great deluxe albums splendid bonus stuff. Bang actually drove me away fro. The Stones for a while, because it was such a letdown.
