Ok, so I'm playing Rocks Off at my house the other day, kicking it with my friend and some beer/pot. I start talking about how great a song it is (I'm drunk), and he remarks: "I hate the rolling stones." Me: "why's that?" Him: "They were just average, and way too commercial and poppy, they were O-K then, but why listen to them now?" (keep in mind he loves 60's music: Velvet Underground, Beatles, Hendrix, Dylan etc.) Please help me out with convincing him he's wrong on this, i.e. quotations from other artists I know he'd like complimenting the stones. I just want to shut him down badly, give me some material. He's one of the most pretentious music snobs I know, and he's horribly wrong alot of the time.

You don't get Exile on the first listen... It's way more complex and genious than that. I liked like 6 songs when I first listened to it, now I think it's the best album ever. |

NEVER do that to a virgin stones fan -
it will intimidate the shit out of them.

I was never much of a stones fan simply because I had never heard much of them, and then downloaded Exile. Loved it my first listen, /shrug. Still don't have any kickass quotes from other respected rockers on the stones, chop chop people! |

Did it occur to you that your friend probably never heard anything but Start Me Up et al either? 99% of the time when someone bashes an artist it's because they don't know shit about them. Why didn't you ask him how much he knows? When he lists you 3 songs, tell him case closed, he's not qualified to judge them.

Ha! EXACTLY!!! Well put.
to be quite honest, NairBog, time to ditch this friend. I like that hes a music snob, but if he doesnt dig the Stones then why hang out with him. I am in my mid 30s and have successfully weeded out all my non Stones loving friends. I simply have no time or interest in being around people who dont dig the Stones. I listen to them everyday wherever I am. Literally 24 hours a day. I cant stand to be around anyone that doesnt like them.
trust me you will be better off once you follow my lead and ditch anyone that hates the Stones.

No one cares about your posts.....you think that you are gaining some status by attacking me? It hasn't worked!! I am friends with Gazza, Voodooo, Jaxx. Moreover, you may not even realize that SS and I are friends.....you think he will you more b/c you added to his thread?(well, he might) . I have generally not responded to you, but I must say, after 10 yrs of posting, you, along with 2 others, are the only people I would never want to meet. I may be a pussy....but what, really, are you? What, really, are you? And is being a pussy that big a deal? What is a pussy? I know when I traveled and met people no one called me a pussy to my face....Iimagine some big tough guy would have tried to kick my ass by now as Iam a big pussy....but it's never happened. I guess being a pussy is not that bad a thing at all....

Excerpt from a John Lennon Rolling Stone interview, 1971.
What do you think of the Stones today?
I think it's a lot of hype. I like ``Honky Tonk Women,'' but I think Mick's a joke with all that fag dancing; I always did. I enjoy it; I'll probably go and see his films and all like everybody else, but really, I think it's a joke.
Do you see him much now?
No, I never do see him. We saw a bit of each other when Allen [Klein, Beatles' late-period manager] was first coming in - I think Mick got jealous. I was always very respectful of Mick and the Stones, but he said a lot of sort of tarty things about the Beatles, which I am hurt by because, you know, I can knock the Beatles, but don't let Mick Jagger knock them. I would like to just list what we did and what the Stones did two months after on every fuckin' album. Every fuckin' thing we did, Mick does exactly the same - he imitates us. And I would like one of you fuckin' underground people to point it out. You know, Satanic Majesties is Pepper; ``We Love You,'' it's the most fuckin' bullshit, that's ``All You Need Is Love.'' I resent the implication that the Stones are like revolutionaries and that the Beatles weren't. If the Stones were or are, the Beatles really were, too. But they are not in the same class, musicwise or powerwise, never were. I never said anything, I always admired them, because I like their funky music, and I like their style. I like rock & roll and the direction they took after they got over trying to imitate us. He's obviously so upset by how big the Beatles are compared with him, he never got over it. Now he's in his old age, and he is beginning to knock us, you know, and he keeps knocking. I resent it, because even his second fuckin' record, we wrote it for him. Mick said, ``Peace made money.'' We didn't make any money from peace.
