Genesis and The Police, although dreadful bands, have far more public demand at this stage. Obvouisly, an offer would have been made to the stones if any of their top tier choices could not be met.
The Stones would have jumped at this. With the festival setting, they could play a "worse than Omaha" setlist and shorten it to about 13 songs or so. Also, Mick is terribly upset at Keith for his recent public behavior and fears Keith will "mail it in" on the Euro tour. This would be too great an embarrassment to Mick, who is a very proud man (See: Voodoo circa "tent conference") |

To be honest...I really would not mind seeing either Duran Duran...Foo Fighters...Keane...or Bloc Party open up for the Stones...but not in a stadium...much more suited for an arena or theatre...other than that...not many other bands could pull off a respectable opening slot...Aerosmith will be around the EU this summer...so who knows?!? |
