Chris Robinson Slams Stones Fans

The Black Crowes frontman brands The Rolling Stones fans 'rock 'n' roll tourists' Frontman Chris Robinson compares watching the Stones to going to 'Disneyland'

The Black Crowes frontman Chris Robinson has criticised The Rolling Stones recent live performances, taking specific aim at Mick Jagger.

Robinson said that Jagger lacked "sincerity" during the band's five arena dates, which took place towards the end of 2012. Speaking to the Evening Standard, the US singer said: "Bands the size and scale of the Stones - they're like Disneyland. I felt like the audience at those shows were rock 'n' roll tourists. I wish Mick had a little more sincerity and did a little bit less running around." Robinson didn't make it clear if he'd actually attended any of The Rolling Stones' live dates.

The rock legends' sell-out shows in London on November 25 and 29, 2012 shifted as many as 31,755 tickets. Their US dates at Brooklyn's new Barclays Center on December 8 as well as a two-show stint on December 13 and 15 at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey, pushed the total number of tickets sold to 364,864 over all five dates. Over the five dates, the band were joined by a cast and crew of artists including Florence Welch, Mary J Blige, Lady Gaga and The Black Keys.

Earlier this year, The Rolling Stones' Ronnie Wood promised that he would be twisting his bandmate's arms into playing this years' Glastonbury. The Stones have been heavily tipped to make their debut on the Pyramid Stage this year. When asked about it, Wood replied: "We've got a meeting next month and that's going to be my first question to them. It's something I've always been interested in. I'm going to twist their arms. I've got lots of high hopes this year, now that we're all rehearsed - let's get it cracking this summer!"

99% of us will agree with his statement about the tourists. All but the 200 that applauded his introduction of "Sway" from the album "he forgot" a few years ago.. Oh no! not you again

The comment about him dancing around, kind of rubs you the wrong way, but a lot of rockers (and rocks-offers) have said much worse about the Stones in their post Tattoo You era.

He got one thing right..."

I felt like the audience at those shows were rock 'n' roll tourists.

.

At $800.00 a ticket...that is how much a great low key vacation would cost...or a cruise for 2...or a couple of RT flights to the UK...

Very few real fans and much to many Stone Fan posers...IMO...Like when Whitey goes to Mexico and wear a Sombreros and donkey blankets...

Wait a minute, wait a minute.... Could it be he's not exactly wrong there? Shit!

I mean, what part of a Rolling Stones audience do you think WE make? I'm afraid it's not a big percentage. Most of the people attending a gig nowadays might very well be just that. Rock n' roll tourists. And our boys, much as we love them, have done little to help change that.

I think it's a little more than obvious that Chris Robinson likes the Stones, and I don't see what he said as slamming at all.
