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!"

They must be counting the pay per view figures.

In which case, I guess that was my 49th show, but I just didnt realise it.

Ha ha ha.....he is one funny guy that Robinson fella.

I am sure that down the road, when he is pushing 70, the world will look back at his body of work with such admiration and dignity.

Wasn't capable himself, so slag on our boys!

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.

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.

Interesting reading. I'd have thought they would have been salivating over him for 'keeping it real, man..'. Seems to be quite a bit of resentment, there.

Crowes fans are also upset about high ticket prices, VIP packages, tour promoters who are more into making money than anything else, and the lack of new material and the continuing repackaging of the past.

Apart from the running around bit (sounds like a bit of jealousy that he can't really do it and that his band don't have the same staying power or quality of songs) I don't have a problem with the content of what he said. The part I have a problem with is that this is a guy who, like mentioned above, has copied Mick from day one and has hung around with him and opened for the Stones. It's ridiculously hypocritical to say this stuff after gaining the benefit of Mick and the Stones for so long.

Wouldn't be in a position to comment on that, but it'd be good if they had some decent songs of their own. I've yet to hear one that wasn't instantly forgettable.

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.


I'd wager that Robinson is as much a Stones fan as most of us on here. I'm not a fan of his music, but I don't really have much of a problem with what he's saying about the audience the Stones target themselves towards.  It IS like going to see the musical equivalent of Mecca, The Eiffel Tower, The Pyramids or, yes, Disneyland, for a lot of people - ie, something you have to do once in your life regardless of the cost.  'Box tickers' I call them. Another 'legendary' act for the bucket list. The event has become as important, if not more, than the content.

Don't really get the sincerity vs running around argument, though. Whilst I dont think the band's heart is in creativity anymore and hasn't been for a long time, there's no denying the fact that even in his seventh decade, Jagger is still one of the most amazing and charismatic entertainers alive and has forgotten more about the act of performing than pretty much anyone else will ever know.

I want to be perfectly clear.

You can STILL get tickets to any number of the BC shows.

You can go right on Ticketmaster and buy them up right now.
40 ticket limit, so hurry....

I'd enjoy the Black Crowes more if their music wasn't just so damn derivative.  Their music is so freakin' close to about 15 other songs by 10 other 70's bands that it's really hard to give them credit for any originality.  They've got a great stage presence but if anyone is trying to be a cliche on stage--it's them.

Literally stumbled upon these two posts on Facebook.
This guy really is a DICK
Voodoo can you change the Header pic please? We don't need to give this idiot any more air time.

John Devlin: Chris Robinson went into a 7-11 here in Denver after a show and tried to buy beer after midnight. When he was refused he spit on the clerk. His driver had to run in and rescue him from the other customers who were in line behind him. They were kicking his ass. Man is a punk.


Daniel Gutierrez: At the end of his show as a solo artist in 2003, I was the ONLY one waiting for him outside. He came out with Kate Hudson, she smiled and I asked him for a picture. He pointed a car and said: "Nah, I should leave".

Never was really a fan of the BC's...when I first saw them back in 90 or 91 at The Omni in Oakland, I thought they ripped off a lot from The Stones.

Yes of course they did.
Blues-based rock, similar styles of play, the rag-tag look -- no trails being blazed there.
Stones by the numbers!

That's why his comments are so dick like!

Hurry folks -- tickets are still available....
