FotiniD I didn't read all of the "Cook a pig" / "Favorite sauce" series but I do understand Sir Stonesalot's point. It could be done in various other ways though instead of spamming. Satire, alright - but you can do that with one post of this kind instead of multiple ones.

I guess what I'm really trying to say is we're making a whole lot of unnecessary fuss over it. We should take things more easily. Alright, the board is not at its highest right now, BUT since this is a board where we mostly discuss Stones / their music / what they're doing and taking into consideration that they haven't come out with any REAL new material for almost a decade now, don't you think it's only natural that discussions would at sometime reach this point? How many times can you go through the Woody/Taylor debate or what was better, Exile or Sticky Fingers or whatever.

I'm 100% sure that once we get ourselves a new tour + hopefully the new material, things are going to take a u-turn and go back to... er... normal (if we can ever call the asylum normal ) I remember the whole announcement of the Licks tour and the excitement, the news coming in every minute, searching for pictures the moment they were published on the net and posting them here... It's great fun you guys! And we're going to do this all over again!

So stop the whinning, spamming and bitching and "ooh, the board is not as good as it used to be". It's going to be alright.

I can't take it anymore.

Sir Stonesalot I started four satire posts. Count them. I don't think that is spamming. I did think it enough to drive home my point though. Besides most of them are on page 2 already.

It's not my problem that several other people took the ball and ran away with it. In fact, that that happened only reinforces what I'm trying to say.

Notice that I have not started another one of those satire type threads. If you want to point fingers, point them at the right people.

I've done nothing but try to bring some problems to light, and get people to think about it a little.

I understand the "some news from the Stones camp will make everything ok" point of view. But I think you'll find that if you let people get set in the ways of going out of bounds, it will be really difficult to reign them in later.

I think it's best to maintain a little control now, nip things in the bud, before it gets so out of control that it becomes an unstoppable force.

But hey, if the majority of the posters here are ok with the board being slopped up with lame crap, then that's fine with me. I can sling slop with the best of them.

Hey there, easy. I didn't mean to "point fingers". If you read the very first paragraph of my post, I say I get you point, but imo, it could be done elseway. Either way, it's not THAT important. I still think we're making too much of a deal out of all this.

And I am deeply thankful for that my fellow Stonesy. But the behaviour that came after that is completely annoying (as well as the lack of sense on the previous started threads before you reported THE problem).

Come on people, start talking about fuckin' guitars, start talkin' 'bout how to tune your guitar like Keith Richards, about what's the most rare bootleg.......and so forth.....

Rock'n'Roll babies!

Jair Come on, don't repress us FotiniD. It's not a nice thing for a greek guy, being Greece the crawdle of civilization.


March 9th, 2005 04:24 PM
Sir Stonesalot OK.

It's all good to me.

But you'll all regret the inaction when tour time comes and it takes 20-30 minutes to sift through the horseshit to find good info. I've seen it happen before.

Don't say I didn't try to warn you.
March 9th, 2005 04:29 PM
Nellcote Hey SS,
You warned me that the Pats better bring their game
to Jacksonville.
All I saw was Donovan McNabb puke his Mom's soup
And that Rookie Coach use valuable time at the end of the
game.

I trust your Stones info is better.
March 9th, 2005 04:30 PM
glencar SS, I'm sure if Joey & Joshy are still doing their schtick during the thick of a tour, they'll be told to cease & desist. It's not a big concern.

You probably need to get your info and assumptions straight.
March 10th, 2005 03:10 AM
FotiniD It's going to be just fine. Trust me. Who's gonna sit around here talking about signs, sauces and penis sizes once the new record and tour is here?! I say, bring it on and we're going to forget all of this ever happened babies!

P.S. Plus I got two of RO's great playboys to meet
