Guitar heroes insist THE ROLLING STONES are "granddads" and should be "drinking tea" instead of performing.
The gritty British rockers, who supported the legendary rockers during the European leg of their A Bigger Bang world tour, met SIR MICK JAGGER and KEITH RICHARDS backstage And they were less than impressed by what they saw.
Frontman TOM MEIGHAN says, "All I remember is Mick coming up and saying, 'I heard you had a storm, you f**ker.' And Keith said hello.
"But it was weird because they are granddads. They should be drinking cups of tea in their armchairs." |

These Kasabians are alright. They are stupid mediocre assholes, but that's another story. |

Now is it a "they're grandads, should be drinking tea" as in "no relevant any more" or as in "Jesus Christ, how can they STILL do it?". I don't know.
I kinda like Kasabian though. Not so mediocre, imo. And being provocative always scores you more points in the press etc, etc... Although come to think of it, bashing the Stones has become a fad or norm lately, not so provocative at all.

I think they meant "...they should be drinking tea instead of making more money than Kasabian and showing us, who are but the puss of a pimple on the ass of a flea, how it is done."

Hahahha how lame. I think no one should comment about their age until they are struggling moving around onstage.
Wankers. |

Gee, what a highly original thing to say. Anyway, in 2-3 years, it will be "coming to a cruise ship near you - Kasabian!"
Right after the puppet show. |

Stones vs Kasabian
(Tuesday September 05, 2006 12:16 AM)
Launch
The Rolling Stones have denied claims made by Kasabian that they're on the brink of quitting touring.
The rock legends are currently in the midst of their enormous "Bigger Bang" world tour, which recently included a string of European support shows with Kasabian.
Following the dates, the group's singer Tom Meighan claimed Jagger and co were planning to quite the live stage for good at the end of the tour.
Meighan insisted: "It's the last ones they'll be playing now. They're about finished. Time's calling on them man and they're gonna stop actually doing it. I can't believe it but they are gonna stop playing."
However, a spokesman for The Stones has completely dismissed his comments, suggesting fans "watch this space" for an announcement.
"The Rolling Stones categorically deny that the 'Bigger Bang' tour will be their last, Mick Jagger and Keith Richards have continually refuted the rumours.
"Keith recently said that they were not in it for the money, they are in it for the glory and they thoroughly intend to carry on," the spokesman told Gigwise.

I guess they are finally calling it quits...probably a sound decision based on poor sales and even poorer albums. |

Doesnt say how the guy reckons its their last tour - did they or someone close to the band tell him? He sounds like hes passing it off as fact
Which it probably is IMO. Everything I've heard since day one of this tour indicates this a long farewell and next year's European tour will see the end of the Stones as a touring band.
The 'watch this space' is merely an indication of shows for next summer - it's still the same tour however
the original quote in this thread just looks like another bit of mischievous journalism taken out of context and edited for effect. No-one talks like that.

I think it’s utterly laughable that these kinds of comments rile so many here! As Gazza rightly points out, it’s probably been taken out of context anyway. Kasabian are arrogant. It’s part of their image. Just like it was for the Stones 40 years ago. As much as I love the Stones, I’m sorry, but THEY ARE granddads! |

I'm sure if this was to be the end of The Stones, Kasabian would be the first one notified.(LOL) These guys will be cleaning out the latrines after the Stones 2009 Tour.

As a fellow Stones addict I know you are quite aware that the Stones derive the majority of their income on the road, they never were very good about selling new product. |

I'm going to as many shows as possible, and I think alot of folks will be going for free to fill up the stadiums. Although like you I am very dissapointed in the lack of interest in the shows, the one constant has always been a very powerful show, the boys have never let me down and I think when all is said and done- this will be a fun Fall Tour. |
