I came on here this morning without having seen the announcement and I thought the site header was some fan-made thing. Couldn't they have done a collage of the band members faces/famous looks over the years even? I'm not really as annoyed by this as some people are though - it's funny in a way. The announcement was always going to be the greatest hits or the November shows anyway.

I guess it's going to take a while for some to get this particular monkey off their back. Wink

How appropriate. SV!! Grin

The naive part of me really wants to think that this is some kind of joke on the Stones part. The childish gorilla theme and the two new song titles kind of make you think they are having a laugh at themselves and their record label. They have to know that their creative juices aren't flowing. The record label wants an album and their fans are howling for them to do something.....
......

I think you're giving them too much credit. A lot of fans seem to be searching for some hidden message or in-joke.

There isn't one. It's just a load of shite.

Yes, Voodoo.

I'm starting to feel uneasy opening this page at work to be greeted by that monstrosity.

I kepe looking over my shoulder as if I'm expecting someone to walk up behind me and look at me as if I was viewing porn.

They should have negotiated with Nolte & paid him to use his likeness to describe what their 50 years have been.

THEN THEY COULD CALL IT "BUSTED!"

And it could sit on the shelf next to that other edited collection, "Sucking in the Seventies."

The gem of this box set is that it comes with a cheap, crappy little "70s style" wrist watch. I assume it was included to remind me that its time to stop buying their crap.

When this baby drops, its gonna be huge. HUGE! And GRRR! is quickly going to become a cultural phenomenon.

First the hip hoppers will be coining it on everything... as in "I'm blazin the GRRRR".
Then folks will be sporting "Got GRRR?" t-shirts. And "I'm down with GRRR" shirts.
You'll see folks naming their newborns GRRR on Facebook.
Nobody will use tweets or texts... they'll just be saying "Yo! GRRR me!"
Honey's will now be called GRRR: "Baby you know you're my GRRR"
And, of course, both politicians will be using it in their campaigns to rally the people: "A vote for me, is a vote for GRRRR!"

Folks, GRRR is the new black.

Huge!!
How huge? GRRRR! HUGE!
