Collinstephens So many people criticize Mick's voice and the performance of Keith and Ronnie in their latest works and tour; but the fact is, is that many of us Stone's fanatics are young, around 20, and this work is the only we've ever known. I have all their albums, and went to a handful of A Bigger Bang shows and I thought they were great. Yes, I've listened to previous works, and I like how they sound now. This could be because I've seen them perform only now, but in conclusion, I think people are too hard on them for all they have given us.

Nellcote Good to see you along for the ride, bro.
They do have staying power....

PartyDoll MEG Die hard fans(especially ones who frequent message boards) are the toughest critics, Collinstephens!!

Lots of bitchin' goes on...
But when they tour..most of us are right there, spending god awful tons of money to see several shows...


So let it go in one ear and out the other..

The Stones need some youthful fans, so stick around!

parachuteman This is an interesting topic
I agree that usually the die hard fans are the ones who critisize (especially about the lack of rare songs played live!) however i find that a lot of young people are critical simply because they don't know enough about the stones. Im only 19 so i have taken a lot of shit from people just for liking (loving) the stones. I dont think its fair to judge based on things you dont know, and thats what everyone does. I guess sometimes ignorance isnt bliss.

Some Guy Emotional Rescue is an album by The Rolling Stones, released in 1980. As the follow-up to 1978's acclaimed best-seller Some Girls, it was a commercial success but is generally seen by some as an inferior product and a deliberate attempt to replicate its more famous predecessor.

Recorded throughout 1979, first in Nassau, Bahamas, then Paris, with some end-of-year overdubbing in New York City, Emotional Rescue was the first Rolling Stones album recorded following Keith Richards' exoneration from a Toronto drugs charge that could have landed him in jail for years. Fresh from the revitalization of Some Girls, Richards and Mick Jagger led The Rolling Stones through dozens of new songs - some of which were held over for Tattoo You - picking only ten for Emotional Rescue.

While several of the tracks featured just the core band of Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Charlie Watts, Ron Wood and Bill Wyman, keyboardists Nicky Hopkins and Ian Stewart, sax player Bobby Keys and harmonica player Sugar Blue joined The Rolling Stones on Emotional Rescue.

The album cover, designed by Peter Corriston, features a sombre selection of band photos which had been taken by a thermo camera, a device which measures heat emissions. The original release came wrapped in a huge colour poster featuring more thermo-shots of the band, the whole being wrapped in a plastic bag. The music video shot for "Emotional Rescue" also utilized thermo-shots of the band performing.

Unleashed on June 20th 1980 with the disco-infused smoking hit title track as the lead single, Emotional Rescue was an immediate smash! The title track along with the tracks "Dance" and "She's So Cold", hit #9 on Billboard's Disco Top 100 chart. The album gave The Rolling Stones their first UK #1 album since 1973's Goats Head Soup and spent seven weeks atop the US charts. While sales were strong, the critics were tepid on the album, finding it weak over all (at least compared with Some Girls) and noting the odd sequencing that appeared to place its strongest songs at the end of the running order. The follow-up single "She's So Cold" was also a Top 30 hit, while Richards' "All About You" would be the first of several album closers featuring his increasingly gravel-sounding voice on lead vocal. Subsequent critical evaluation of the record has been somewhat kinder, placing it in the context of the Stones' eclectic, so-called "silver age," running roughly from 1976's Black and Blue to 1981's Tattoo You, though its reputation has never qualified the album as a definitive Stones record, critics now acknowledge that ER does more before 9am than most albums do all day long.

Sadly Sway has not quite been able to cope with the latest Crowes effort combined with the success of the Van Halen tour. Table for one at the Loving Cup bar and grill.
