"The city is deploying 10,000 police officers about three times the usual contingent for New Year's as well as 600 firefighters, civil defense workers and lifeguards, said Ana Maria Maia, Rio's subsecretary of special events."
10,000 police offficers, 2 million people
something is going to go terribly terribly wrong |

thankfully the band has a direct bridge to their hotel...i hope and pray that our friends from Rocks off/Shidoobee enjoy themselves and are safe. |

WORST STONES STAGE EVER
even if all goes as planned and the crazy Brazilian mobs beat Bono like a pinatta... still this stage is too much of an embarrasment for others to see. Add in Mick's Liberace gold jackets and Stones haters will have a field day with ths. The show MUST NOT be captured for prosterity on a dvd! |

Brazilians are a bit flashy, and I don't mean that in a negative way. I think the stage is probably just right for the venue. |

A Free concert in the TROPICS...
on a WORLD RENOWNED beach...
10 days away from the MOST FAMOUS MARDI GRAS/CARNIVAL in the world...
a beach w/ the most BEAUTIFUL people in the world (guys & girls)...
the stage is JUST RIGHT!!!
The Stones are about FLASH FLASH FLASH...who else has press conferences w/ trains...blimps...etc just to make yet another tour INTO a full blown media event?!?
As far as this becoming ALTAMONT 2006...LET'S JUST HOPE NOT!!!

Thanks for your positive comments Sway. Always respected you, but lately you seem not to show the same respect for brazilians.
Thanks. I'm leaving anyway. |

Mick should wear a red thong and angel wings made out of pink and purple feathers...
Is Billy Preston available for a cock dance? |

a striking wardrobe to say the least...this sounds very much like what Joey wore to the brand spanking new Quest Center (best stones yet Ronnie!) |

When Meatloaf said he'd do anything for love, but he won't do that, he was talking about looking Joey directly in the eye. |

JJ, you misunderstand. I have great respect and love for Brazil and all Brazilians.
However, I cant say that I have any respect for this stage design. Others seem to love it. I dont. I blame the Stones. They are old and out of touch in their knowledge of whats cool.
I wish you well and the best of luck in your future endeavors
sorry you cant make the show |

SOME FOLKS should really take note of how we post...there is a lot that can be learned from us...everytime I think we cannot post any better....we surpass our own mark.
I liken us to those guys sitting in the large, elevated chairs in Bill and Ted's Excellent adventure when they travel to the future. Joey is our "Socrates" (Pronounced SO CRATES) |

It isn't my favorite stage ever, but I don't think it's THAT bad. Definitely colorful and different... |

mind him no attention, he once was good to have around, but since the departure of Ed from the Crowes and the announcement of the acoustic Robinson tour, his emotions have become far to unbalanced for him to present himself as even an average poster. Sadly, he is no longer a factor here as he has been on his crusade against me for a few days now and has not garnered any support whatsoever...few are even reading it. So he tops it off by attacking Brazil. I apologize to you on his behalf, sadly, he can't help it. |

i am just sick and tired of casual homophobic comments like this on this and other stones board
hey! "stones fanatics", what's the fucking problem with you about gays!?
i am a stones fan, i am not gay, i would never use "gay" as a label for something i despise.
this is so hard here that even mick is bashed sometines beacuse "he looks gay". And it is not even 1975...

Sway did you ever think that perhaps it's you that are out of touch!? It's fucking Rio for fuck's sake! Around 2,000,000,000 people are going to be there. The stage MUST be flashy and garish! It's only goddamned stage design 101 my man. Make it big,make flashy,make it over the top. The stage is fine for the locale. It looks like a tip of the hat to the Rio dancing girls dresses if you ask me.

No.
I just took another look at that awful stage and I can confirm that I am not out of touch. That shit is cheesy.
Sorry, but I dont buy your logic. If they play in Venice, Italy should the stage have giant gondolas rising out of it?? No, of course not.
The Super Bowl stage was amazing. It was the Stones. It screamed "Stones". This doesnt say Stones. |

I've seen the TV coverage and the people is looking impressed for the stage, for some folks in the crowd is the bigger stage ever and they love it. |

It's the Stones, dammit, get over it.
It's a Wicked Pissah Stage
And they are just the band for it.
Still, and always The World's Greatest Rock & Roll Band.
You will whine when they are gone to, some people are never happy. you know who you are...

It's not the best stage I ever saw...not by a long shot...but it's not that bad. Coulda been much worse.
10,000 cops for 2,000,000 people. That doesn't sound good.
But then again, there weren't enough cops for the 450,000 that showed up in Toronto either...and that went OK. Rio is used to doing big events with massive crowds. I think the Brazilians have their shit together when it comes to having a party...it'll be OK. I hope. |
