Why haven't The Stones won a Lifetime Achievement Award at the Brits. |

Fuck Knows!
The whole things a damn farce anyway!
Macca has turned it down yet again!
He reckons if he accepts his reward it will signal the end of his career
This years award goes to Tom Jones

probably because theyve never deemed this shitty farce of a show worthy of their presence
The "Lifetime achievement" award is so full of integrity and value that they'll only give it to you if you turn up and perform. If you don't, then obviously youre not worthy of the award after all so they get some other poor sap in who needs the publicity more than you do.
When you consider some of the acts who have LAUGHABLY been "honoured" with this award for "lifetime achievement" no wonder the Stones have never played this show. I hope they continue to tell these idiots to take a flying fuck. |

Why should they accept an award from a country that has long ago discarded them as old relics....they have not even sold old the 2nd Twickenham show yet. |

Gazza...it's wonderful that peace has finally taken hold in N. Ireland. Good luck to you and enjoy the tour. Your friend, Josh. |

well, thats a facade and a myth because I dont consider that it ever HAS or ever will, but thanks for your sentiments anyway. Paradoxically, its still crime-wise one of the safest parts of the British Isles to live in,however, contrary to it's image. |

not really as the Brits are,I suppose, seen as the UK equivalent of the Grammys
No-one over the age of about 30 takes the Brit Awards seriously anyway, in terms of credibility though |

ronnie has a brit, he got in 2000 I think, a life time thing, he got,
and maybe a few pints of guinness when he came for it, I remember he got beer poored over his head |

>ronnie has a brit, he got in 2000 I think, a life time thing, he got,
uh...no..he was there to PRESENT an award for best movie soundtrack and ended up getting into a drunken exchange with DJ Brandon Block who had staggered onto the stage as someone had played a prank on him telling him he'd won an award....he reacted unfavourably to Ronnie telling him to "get off the stage ya c**t"
Ronnie getting a lifetime achievement award?? For what? Guinness consumption?? LOL

This is absolutely right JB! I've said it before, and I'll say it again anyone in The British music business who makes it worldwide inevitably become the victims of their own success at home. It's called "The tall poppy syndrome"...and Brits are the worst in the world for it, build 'em up, then cut 'em down to size. This was a small part of the whole '67 bust ya know. The establishment's mentality of "They're getting too big for their boots". Fuck The Brit awards! They're shite anyway. |

Its been a while since i have seen the footage. I remember sitting in my bedroom watching it and thinking how FANTASTIC that bit was. Didn't Ronnie say how he was going to get "My Mate Vinnie" Jones to sort out the DJ?
From what i remember, it was RONNIE who poured drink on the DJ, not the other way round.
Its all great stuff anyway!

All sounds a bit like the time Paul Weller apparently bottled Sid Vicious. |
