MOWAT said>I don't think that they are a nostalgia act. Nostalgia acts don't play to 40-50 thousand people on a regular basis and they certainly don't attract 450 000+ people to one concert.
yes they do, and thats because nostalgia is very popular - as can be seen by the sales of repackages of old records/CD's, by the listening figures of radio stations that target themselves at "nostalgia" or that phrase that I hate "classic rock", by the fact that the biggest touring acts in the world are those that appeal to a similar age group as the Stones and by the fact that few people buy singles anymore. Nostalgia is just as big a part of the music industry as current music is, if not more so.
The Stones are a nostalgia act for almost everyone who goes to see them. People like us might crave new material but most people dont. And even for us, if you were going to pick what songs youd like them to play it would be an old song - maybe not a well known one, but an oldie nonetheless.
They are a nostalgia act because they dont place much/any emphasis on recording new material (hopefully about to change as we speak) and will remain that way until they do so.
They have tailored their act, their appeal and the songs they play to an audience which wont let them develop artistically anyway.

It's very hard not be a nostalgia act with more than 40 years on the road and with so many hits.
If they don't release a good album soon, with good reviews from both critic and fans they will be a Nostalgia Circus band...

>Few people buy singles anymore<
Funny I just got thinking about that this morning. And this may be the problem. I'd buy a single if the price were right and I liked the song....after all, I (and many others)cut my teeth on 45's. Perhaps the "singles marketing/radio system" is broken and needs a serious overhaul....a new paradigm. Well that may go without saying. |

I think singles are basically finished anyway, TTM. I dont know about the US, but over here its basically schoolkids who buy singles and that has been the case for over 15 years
Its so easy just to download these days that hardly anyone bothers with them. Later this summer the UK is going to have an internet chart for sales of downloads for the first time.

Well maybe that's a step in the right direction. So one asks oneself how important IS Rock n Roll after 50 years and the guy answers and says "It's too early to tell".

they seem to have awards ceremonies every week....almost as many awards shows as they have channels
I dont know about where you are, but we must have about 20 music channels on satellite TV here. They're almost all uniformly awful. A few years ago, you used to get actual programmes on music channels. Now its just wall to wall videos and the only actual programmes usually have nothing to do with music anyway. Retch.

That's also what the parents argued when their kids listened to the Stones in the sixties. So nothing really changes. |

The Stones next cd will be crucial..it will decide whether they go out with a bang or a whisper..if it sucks they will be relegated to nostalgia act for the rest of their short remaining career..let's hope they get it together... |
