As y'all know from my posts, I have a love/hate relationship with The Stones.
They suck as musicians (Ronnie and Keith....capable of playing mind blowing live shows), Mick J. is a better guitarist then Keith these days. For the life of me, I'll never understand how they can turn out FANTASTIC albums, yet, their live shows can be good to downright shitty.
They KNOW Taylor is light years beyond what they can do live. The Rolling Stones stopped being a band in the 80's and traded it in for being a corporation.
Their musical catalougue is second to none. They can go out there and in theory, play at least 5 shows without repeating a song. That's how deep their catalougue is. Yet they choose to do the same boring shit year after year.
It's really a shame.
Mick Taylor should be up there the entire show. But we know Jagger is a little bitch that has to have 100% control. God forbid someone with more talent should be onstage with them for more than two songs.
If they really wanted to go out in style, Bill and Mick T should've been on this entire tour for every song.
....and that's my morning rant. Look for me later tonight in the "weeding" thread to have a totally different perspective.
