I think Noel Gallagher should replace Ronnie |

I think Mathijs could do a far better job - and I've never even heard him play. |

No way. I love you dearly Fotini, but: no, never. I have a habit of distinguishing reality from wish/nostalgia. Especially with these ticket prices  ...
Last tour Ronnie was drunk/stoned out of his mind, and barely audible (if he was audible his playing was embarrassing) lots of times. So was Keith's for that matter. It saddens me to say it, but it saddens me even more to hear it. Last tour only few of the 15 shows I visited were good/very good. It'll only get worse I'm afraid, although I hope they'll prove me wrong this coming tour. I do have faith in Mick and Charlie. Especially Mick was phenomenal last tour!
The Stones on a bad night are no way better than some of the newer bands (even on *their* worst night). IMO of course  . |

At the 2nd Melbourne show, Ronnie was away with the fairies for the first 1/2 of the set. Mick even asked him if he wanted to "take 5". It was not all his fault, as he seemed to be having hassles with his equipment. I could not hear him at all on most songs. During "HAPPY" all he did was spin around on his chair. I did not hear 1 slide note come from him.
Why cant Blondie replace him? I mean, he's all but replaced Keith. |

Well, well... Ron, what are we going to do with you man?
Prancing around with a stuffed animal onstage in front of 10's of thousands paying so much to see your lasy ass... What a drunken classic.
Don't get me wrong people, I love RonWood. He IS a stone. I just get upset when he just stands there idle when he could be rocking ever so hard. My advice to him would be: Turn your goddamn guitar up, turn your distortion up and PLAY!
Get the crowd jumping! Fists pumping! It's what all us kid's want.
I think the reason that the Stones picked him is because he is no competition with Keith Richards which is good for Keith's ego. If Ron played like a real rockstar, Keith would turn his guitar up, and actually make the F***ing thing scream. Ron leaves Keith in a lacklustre "I'm tired" state. Throw Keith a damn curveball, play a fucking power-chord if you're lazy, do something! Enough talk about "weaving". Do it!
Ronnie, you get all my best wishes for a full recovery.
I can't begin to imagine how hard it must be.
He should never be replaced though...
Get rid of the horns, the back-up singers, that suck-ass Chuck Leavell, that thing Blondie Chaplin and rock out.
THAT is the key to getting younger fans, kepping old ones and not being a Ritzy, shiny "Vegas act" covered in plastic.

I think you're right Angie and I surely see your point, BUT...
I can't be objective with the Stones when I'm there, listening to the music *live*. It saddens me too that Keith's playing ain't at all what it used to be or that Ronnie snaps in and out of addictions all the time and the whole horns, fireworks, Vegas section... But...
I still feel great at their shows. I don't get that excitement with other acts. I mean, don't get me wrong, I do enjoy other gigs and all, but the Stones, heck, they're the Stones. It's not just the past. You got one of the greatest frontmen on earth up there and Charlie Watts on drums and for crying out loud, Keith Richards. And ok, so what if he doesn't play as well and loud as he used to? I still love this band. I love the fact they're still here. I can't be objective when it comes to the Stones 
Of course, had they called it quits after Exile and Mick moving on to film making or attending cricket matches, we'd all remember them as this great band with the amazing live performances etc. etc. But I don't mind. I'm a little more than greatful that they're still around and I got a chance to see them, and I may get a chance to see them again.
I guess what I'm trying to say is that we got high expectations of the Stones, but perhaps the importance of the fact that they're still playing (even with their flaws) is often overlooked. Well anyway, it's their fault, they made us have all these expectations
Well, I talk too much and talk is cheap I too can't wait to see what this new tour's gonna bring. |

dont be so down on "Its Hard". It contains "I've Known No War" which is the only song I know of that mentions my surname in the lyrics. |

What's a ' surname ' ?!?!?!
Oh , forget it !!! Here ! :
" The Brazen Head of Omaha, in its entirety, was established to emulate the rich tradition, which has made the authenticate Irish pubs across Ireland famous. Thus, we chose the oldest and most revered pub in Dublin as our paradigm. The Brazen Head on Bridge Street was for centuries the site of much plotting and intrigue as revolutionaries of different eras found it a safe haven in which to conspire.
Robert Emmet, Daniel O'Connell and Tim Healy, among others, drank and planned within its ancient walls.
The establishment was built in 1198 A.D. at the head of the River Liffey, where the Norman soldiers guarded the gate that provided the only access into Dublin. On cold, damp nights, these soldiers would warm their hands over brazers (barrels of fire). Therefore, they named this hotel/pub in Dublin the Brazen Head, for the location at the head of the River Liffey and for the "brazers" that the soldiers uses to warm their hands.
rish pub culture is unique. In its varied facets, the Irish pub has for many, many generations been the fulcrum of social life. The Brazen Head Irish Pub has several themes: traditional Irish Country Cottage, Victorian Style, Pub Shop and the Smoke Room. All were faithfully and expertly designed by Gemmel, Griffen & Dunbar Ltd. of Dublin, Ireland.
The bar was designed in Dublin, built in Wexford, Ireland and then shipped over to the United States. The bar was then reassembled under the supervision of Irish joiners. A variety of expertise in crafts were required to make the ideal pub. Michael Griffen had the gifted ability to design the perfect pub, including the beautiful back bars, unique ceilings, mosaic floors, bric-a-brac and genuine antique memorabilia that were necessary to create the essential ambience and atmosphere of the pub. And all of the beautiful woodwork was hand-carved by B. Dunbar & Sons, third generation joiners. "
