No I am not, I am doing almost nothing gigwise this summer! As far as the Bowl - there really isnt any trick I just got lucky both times and only intended to listen from outside before the magic door opened for me. Not going to pay anything for these venues either as much as I want to see both bands those places suck! |

All of those who attend these shows are not true stones fans and should be humbled and humiliated. |

Voodoopug - are you serious or just a twat?
Man, I don't live that side of the pond, but i'd jump at the chance to see Aerosmith & Crue on a double bill, sounds like a rocking night - does that mean I'm not a true Stones fan?
Dude, check yourself into a mental insitution right away. by the way I also like AC/DC, Whitesnake, ZZ Top, and a host of other rock bands, I take it this means I'm not worthy. |

Why the fuck dont Aerosmith tour over here any more/ever (UK)? |
|

There had been a rumor circulating about them opening a couple east coast fall Stones shows.With that schedule looks like it was just a rumor... |

If i remember correctly, wasn't the last time they played here the 'Toxic towers' gig at Wembley? if memory serves Lenny Kravitz, Black Crowes, Stereophonics and a few others were on the bill.
Seem to remember coming away from that thinking that the Crowes were the band of the day for me, also got the idea that one of the video screens didn't seem to be working.
Great day though, pretty good weather, cool beer and lots of rock n roll. now yer talking! |

1986 called....they miss you!
There will be plenty of room to jump at these shows as they will sell poorly. I am sure a Crue show circa 1986 would have been great....now.....well, Vince Neil was a "star" on VH1's Surreal Life.....and Aerosmith....ugh.
Being a Stones fan is much different from being a true, die hard stones fan (see: jb and myself). |

Not as serious as, oooh, say, Corgi, who is very serious, but still - serious!
Bono is a twat. Pug is not Bono. Ergo, um, somethin'.

You are correct sir!

Thanks for pointing that out. I am a true die hard rock fan but wouldn't extend that description to any individual bands. To be a true, die hard fan of anyone is to be taken for a sucker (see www.rollingstones.com fan club memberships or www.aeroforceone.com etc). |

Hyundai Pavilion is a massive 50,000+ capacity amphitheatre 70ish miles away with the usual parking and traffic issues, not to mention just plain huge.
Not a fan of the Hollywood Bowl though the Stones gig didn't have the usual issues other than high ticket prices. But gigs there are usually low volume with lame crowds who talk louder than the music. Poor sightlines, no relay towers halfway back like most outdoor venues. But its only 5-7 miles away and I can hear quite good outside so I might check it out and see what happens.
Aerosmith/KISS played Hyundai Pavilion and came back around toward the end of the tour and played the Forum and that was a good gig. Actually best Aerosmith gig ever since they played "Nobody's Fault" by my request at the charity soundcheck. Scored a lower level ticket in the front third of the house for the regular show for $60 (Face $135 + svc charges). |

So, let me just get this straight, if you enjoy other rock bands, and rock music in general, forgoing all others,then you cannot call yourself a TRUE Rolling Stones Fan?
Just for the record, I've been a Stones fan for the last 20 years, they are without doubt my all time favourite band, I've got the Stones tongue tattoe'd on my arm, and have seen them in North America, Mainland Europe and the UK. This summer my travel plans include taking my camper van around Europe and taking in as many Stones gigs as I can, unfortunately the number of gigs has been hampered by recent events, but I still intend to travel to around 10 different countries and see them as many times as possible.
Not only this but I spent 2 nights sleeping on the streets of london on recent tours to see them at the Shepards bush & Brixton shows, both of which were great. - but still I am not a TRUE stones fan,
However, I am also a long haired, leather jacket wearing rock music fan who loves all rock music A - Z from: AC/DC to ZZ Top
Perhaps because I don't spend as much time trawling through the web sites and posting incessantly like many on this board I do not warrant the title of REAL fan - if thats the case then fine - keep that title to yourself and the select few you deem worthy.
sometimes, these ridiculous, over generalisations & comments made by 'net fans' really get my goat. There is life after the Stones, and you can't devalue another fans appreciation of the Stones, just because they have tastes which braod further than a few specific 'acceptable' bands.
anyhoo, I wish you many happy years siting in your room, or wherever you are, pontificating about the Stones, Myself I'll be out, going to other shows and enjoying myself. |

quite ridiculous comments, as you don't know me at all, nor what I am all about. It is short sighted fans such as what you are presenting yourself as that really gets my goat.
In my book, someone who considers themselves a big Motley Crue or Whitesnake fan, while there is nothing wrong with that, is not classified by me as a true fan of the stones. If you don't like my book, then don't read it.
With regards to sitting in my room....I dont have "a room", I have 5000 square foot house on a private lake in a town with a higher average income than even Boca Raton, FL that I bought with the money I have earned as an incredibly successful independant manufacturers rep (Saint Sway can fill you in on the details of some of my many posted successes) and I share it with my two beautiful children, lovely wife, and loyal pugs.
When I am not busy at work, or entertaining myself with my friends on this and other sites (as well as the simpletons), I am devoting my days to enjoying seeing my children grow up with many advantages that I wish I had, that my wife and I are thrilled to give them!
I used to be a long haired, leather jacket wearing, rock and roll fan myself, and loved every minute of it, and even played in a Rolling Stones tribute band for several years (which I truly do miss now!). Now, I am a short haired, well groomed, polo shirt wearing, young executive, with a taste for fine restaraunts, great music, and family life. My toughest decision these days is whether or not to raise my salary beyond the six figures it is at now, or invest more in future business.
This does not give me any time to appreciate Whitesnake and Vince Neil.
I deem many other bands respectable (see: The Who, Pearl Jam, The Yardbirds, The Faces, Cream (not the reunion show), and others). jb only gets a pass on his ridiculous "Babs fascination" because I have met him on several occassions and have learned to begrudginly accept it.
Best of luck in your musical endeavors...I am sure that Whitesnake kicks ass to some.....not to true stones fans.
all hail joey and Voodoo (during press conferences especially!) I encourage all Rocks Off Members (including resident cretins and overpaid layabouts), to drop FPM a line and tell him how great his posting has been today. |

dont take it too hard monkeytonkman
some of the Stones fans here tend to get bent out of shape whenever another band is mentioned here. Basically just acting like an over- jealous girlfriend that gets pissy if you talk or even look at another pretty girl. Very insecure people. They put the Stones in constant competition with everyone.
but thats just some folks. Others here are very open minded about music and realize that its cool to dig other bands and that there is plenty of kick-ass rock-n-roll outside of the Stones.
You sound like a cool guy. remember, this predominately a non-stones content msg board. So feel free to discuss whatever other bands you like and ignore the haters.

Beleive it or not...everything you just posted is 100% accurate. If you don't like my point of view...there are hundreds of others here.
No knock on him personally, he may be a great person...nearly all of my friends are not true stones fans, but that doesnt make them bad people, just people with different musical taste/views than myself. |

Its more fun to read it and ridicule it then ignore it. And thankfully its not upon you to classify who is or isn't a true fan of the Stones and as always I can get the good seats without your help. |

sadly, I do not own a cape.
But I still consider myself an extreme hard-core Stones fan.
but I love tons of other bands. Mostly Stones-style rock bands. But tons of other stuff too. I even like Pearl Jam.
I go to several live shows a week. I'd go see the Stones every night if I could. But I need other bands to cure my live rock fix. Thankfully there is no shortage of good music these days.
Its cool when you can get into a discussion here about other bands that fellow Stones fans dig. No need for any insecure jealousy. We all know the Stones are/were TWGR&R band.
