This has actually been en exceptionally strong Stonesian month for me. My wife and i attended the premiere of Crossfire Hurricane in London ( our hometown). Stunning night. Probably the best Rock n Roll film iv ever seen. We were outside when the Stones the cinema arrived.. Keith was in such great form.. was laughing/ joking.. clearly very happy to be there. The film blew me away. Very special evening.

A warm welcome to our new member!

It's Cheyne, Ian, CHEYNE! Smiley

No. 48 - Chez Mick, late 60's :

No. 3 - Chez Keith, late 60's and for part of the 70's :

(Hold on, is this our own FabioHotStuff modelling outside the front gate?)

Mick now lives in Cheyne Walk again, but a bit further along in an even posher part - ironically just a couple of minutes stroll from THIS former residence in Edith Grove where it all began in 1962 :

Welcome newb.

You have yet to fill out the RO admittance questionnaire. It includes the following questions:

1. Do you prefer Mick T or Ronnie?

2. How many times in the last three years have you dined and dashed?

3. How many Bon Jovi albums do you own?

4. Have you ever attended or visited the Howe Military Academy?

5. How many Stones shows have you seen?

6. Any good one liners? We've been lacking lately.

7.What is your stance on the Eagles?

hi Starbuck. good morning.

1) Mick T.

2) nope

3) none

4) never

5) Dozen or more... first 1976 , Stafford, England. Knebworth was pretty cool. Best trip ? Vegas , MGM 2003.

6) I was at Waterstones book store in London , queuing to get six copies of Bill Wyman " Rolling with the Stones " signed ( family and friends)
They weighed a ton.. when i finally got to Bills desk he said " Man those look heavy ". I replied " They are .. but not as heavy as your opening riff on " Live with Me". I thought it was a pretty cool comeback , till it registered.. Keith played bass on " Live with Me". I now wish id said " Satisfaction , or something. I also have a touching story of queuing 13 hours to have Life signed by KR. which i will happily share.

7) no thanks.

Hi Gazza... no .. he didnt correct me. Too much of a gent!

as for KR... Id heard KR was going to make an appearance at Waterstones in Piccadilly to sign Life... i popped into the store to confirm this and the chap on the till said " Get there early". It was a work day ( 3 nov ?) So i turn up at the store at 6 am.. chilly morning.. and ... the queue was already pretty long. Clearly some fans had camped out overnight. So i join the queue and a security guard gave me a raffle ticket ( number 134)... then tells me the first 200 people would meet Keith in person , and get your book signed. BUT it meant i had to stay in the queue all day... which was a bit of a bugger as i was suited and booted for work. And i was EXPECTED at work. So i called my office ( which at the time was a major uk bank) and.. explained.. i may be a little late in.. by 9am i was TORN.... WORK or KR ? i was getting all kinds of " where the hell are you " texts... 11 am... by noon i was a dead man....Then..a miracle happened.. a client dropped by the queue, good friend, brought me a coffee and a sandwich.. he started a " Steves Progress " blog.. Soon my progress was being followed from London to NYC to Greenwich CT...it was incredible. A bunch of hedge funds got involved so all of a sudden .. it wasnt such a big deal to my bosses. 4pm... 5 PM... " hes in the lobby..." 6 pm.. " hes up the stairs...". 7pm im in the room. What to say ? Id had all day.
Crunch time. So im standing infront of my hero of 40 years. I was shaking. " Mr. Richards.." firm handshake ..." your music has been the soundtrack to my life. Thanks for all the turn -ons". I was rather pleased with the latter Mick Taylor reference. KR looked me in the eye and growled " That what its all about , man." Firm handshake. That was it , all over. I was let go from my job 2 months later, unrelated , wasnt bothered , hated the place. I wouldnt have missed that day for anything. I keep the book ( and the raffle ticket) in a rather jolly biscuit tin .

Thank you for letting me share

Welcom to Rocks Off.

First thing you need to know, almost all of the posters here are sickos.

Remember that one fundamental point, and you will be fine.

The people that run this place...major sickos.
Entire operation is run off of a small boat just outside of national waters.
They are wanted in numerous countries.
Interpol is not far behind. Just a matter of time.

The regulars. What can I tell you that you cannot already see.

Joey is sicko emeritus. Just stay downwind, you'll be fine.

Ian (Thomas Billen), who you already met.....sicko.
Conspiratorialist.
Thinks the Stones are mixing a new album 'round the clock.

Starbuck.
He's a registered offender in Thailand!
Serious sicko with a crossdressing (Beatles, not women) fetish.

Just watch out.
Nothing but trouble around here.
