Hey, why is that?
You have no patience to listen 22 songs?

I dont like quite a few things about the Stones. I dont like the way keith somethimes implies that he had a poor upbringing. Thts strictly not true. He comes from quite a well to do family.
I dont like the way the Stones rip off their fans with expensive memberships to their fan club and ticket prices.
Im sure I will think of a few more |

2 weeks before. so no drinky drinky in the pub beforehand. |

i hate the fact that they despise allen klein so much they refuse to sign off on releasing their unreleased material because he has the rights to it.
the beatles did it.
bob dylan continues to do it.
i know a lot of it's on bootlegs, but one can only imagine what else is in the vaults.
now we'll probably get the obligatory live album in a few months and then wait three years for the next tour for new stuff. |

I hate how despite the fact I've contacted the band several times, they have yet to play my yearly family BBQ.
Truthfully, it would have to be ticket prices, the recent long gap between albums, and...that's about it. |

The fact that practically everything surrounding the Rolling Stones (concert tickets, fan club memberships etc) costs not only far more than it needs to but far more than it does for every other act on the planet - and all the money obsessive shit that goes with it - eg, keeping a high percentage of tickets for 'corporate' fans, ticket scams that con people into buying the most expensive ones while they hold the 'cheaper' ones back, etc.
Take the obsessive hunger for gouging as much money as possible out of the equation and I can live with any other relatively minor grumbles. They're still there after 43 years and making good records and playing good shows so that outweighs other gripes over setlists, pointless live albums and re-releases and the delay prior to the new album as far as I'm concerned. |

Well Egon, I kinda like the first come first serve basis
a) No golden circles etc. saves you lots of ticket $$$ that you can invest on more gigs
b)The gig becomes even more of an event than it already is
c) You can make great friends waiting outside the stadium for the gates to open
Complaints from the Stones... The whole business side of it (over-the-top ticket prices etc.), the fact that they don't play around as much as they should with stuff like setlists, song selections and recorded material (well, the latter till now, we'll have to wait and see how it turns out) and the fact they're not doing as many club gigs as I'd love to see them doing.
Apart from that, I love the living daylights of 'em |

What I hate is that they are nearing the end of the line and the band that has given me so many thrills over the past 43 years..Will not be able to do that for ever...Thats what I hate....Everything else about tix,setlists ,commercialization..Are annoyances.... |

I don't hate anything about the Stones. I have some petty grievances about set lists & the 8 year lay off w/no new album but I am just so looking forward to tomorrow at 3PM when I buy their newest release.

The one thing I HATE is the use of songs in commercials, although I guess it does have some value in exposing lesser known songs (Monkey Man, She's A Rainbow, Complicated) to people.
What does everybody else think of this? |

That show "Entourage" has been playing many "Let It Bleed" songs lately at the end of episodes. I have to say it's about the poorest use of RS music I've ever seen in a show/movie. |

He wouldnt have been out of work for very long mate. I have family who lived around the same area as Keith in around about the same time. They were from quite a nice area in respect of housing and so on. |

They didnt tour here for 22 bloody years! |

what was once underground, counter culture and rebellion is now main stream and over priced. i think the band has become a parody of themselves.
oh and the lack of bill wyman on bass. sure do miss his contribution. |
