The Stones sold 352.000 copies in the first two weeks on England. This is their most fast selling album in their history. The sales worldwide pass the 3 millions mark in two weeks.
Look at Dotmusic and the album is platinum |

We need more dates. Its a bloody outrage that we dont get more dates! On the 1990 Urban Jungle Tour they played Maine Road and St James Park as well as all the usual places. But maybe we shouldnt knock it too much. They are playing Wales this time. LOL Its great they are playing Ireland too! It may be hard to fit into their busy tour schedule but they could easily play the following...
Earls Court x 5
Shepards Bush
Brixton Acadamy
Old Trafford (Home Of The Kings!)
St James Park
Don Valley Stadium (Sheffield)
Villa Park
Hampden Park x 2 shows
Aberdeen
maybe a scottish club? (could be a secret gig)
Millenium Stadium x2 shows
Slane Castle
Thats 17 dates. A bit better!

How come England didnt/dosent treat the Stones like they do/did the Beatles ? The beatles r still huge there, especially in liverpool, but arent the Stones bigger here and the rest of Europe rather than England? |
|

| Harrylime |
It's ridiculous to suggest that Def leopard are more popular in blighty than the stones,and not really worthy of a reply,so I'll stop right here..The stones are big here,Mick'keef are regularly and lovingly parodied on tv and radio.One tv sketch had them running a cornershop.Jagger's face is always staring down at you from the cover of some "fly-by-night" glossy mag. |

Thats a great programe!
The Stones are liked and loved in England. We just maybe dont treasure the old bands like you do in America. Most Stones fans in the UK are i suppose of a certain age. Id say Josh's age and over. LOL
I think if the Stones played more shows over here they would sell quite well. It makes alot of sense playing so many shows in the US. They used to play that many shows in England at one time.
We like the Stones and they have had good reviews over here concerning this tour. Some people on these boards take offense to us limeys calling our unsung heroes "Wrinkly Rockers" Well, erhhum, they are!

Everybody speak trash about this album and everybody said what sold poorly.
In USA peak at #4 on Billboard Hot 200, Spend 34 weeks on the chart and sold 1.500.000 copies.
In UK peak at #4, Spend 13 weeks on the Top 75 and sold 200.000 copies to date.

Thats a bit optimistic HTM.Aberdeen? Boy would I love to see that.Couple nights at the AECC.10 000 each night, no problems.People would go and see that otherwise wouldnt if they only play Cardiff and London.That can only be good.Fuck it!Might as well stick in Fraserburgh as well, or Belger or ma hoose |

LOL, Im not sure why i said Aberdeen! Is Hampden Park in Glasgow or Edinborough? I was not sure.

It's in Glasgow, though Celtic Park is the biggest stadium venue with around 61,000 seats and the best views. Hampden has around 52,000 and Ibrox has 50,000. However with both Celtic Park and Ibrox been used for the football season in that time Hampden could be more of a possibilty. Yet I think Murrayfield (the rugby stadium) in Edinburgh is more likely, after they went there before, i think it holds around 67,000 seats. Arenas in Scotland, well the SECC in Glasgow maybe would be the best bet, however I doubt if we will even get an arena here.

Its actually kinda sad. You send your little back-talking punk kid down to Howe so they can make a man out of the little bastard, and then he comes back home wearing shiny little black boots with pink pom-poms on the heels, jumping up and down on his bed, doing all kinds of silly little pirouettes and saying "Look at me! Look at me! I'm luvely now!"
Now, if you ask me, thats a pretty damn fucked up deal. |
