Well I've now heard both shows (LIKE THE ROLLING STONES BBC radio 2). And they did not disappoint.Nothing earth shattering revealed. Mostly stuff you already knew about your favorite band - The Rolling Stones, but good and lots of snatches of conversations with Mick, Keith, Ronnie, Charlie and also Don Was.What I found very noticeable was the blanking out of previous members of the Rolling Stones

Things to Remember for Rolling Stones Concert 43 thousand people are expected to attend the Rolling Stones concert in Ottawa on Sunday evening. Now that's a fair few people. The Rolling Stones add another 15 dates to US tour More US shows from the Stones. Go on boys, show 'em you've still got it, and in spades.BBC radio 2 tonight (Saturday) 2133 – 2230 LIKE THE ROLLING STONES. Second part

Well it happened. The first night of the Rolling Stones new world tour. And by all accounts it went with a BANG.Seems that they kicked off with a rendition of Start Me Up, now I could be wrong, but haven't the boys done that before? Like used that number to open their shows on maybe one or three other Rolling Stones world tours? Still I don't suppose there is a song better suited.It's reported

Don't have time to post this, but I'm posting it anyway.I heard yet another track from the new Rolling Stones album A Bigger Bang.Yes! Like it. Not as much as Rough Justice or Back of my Hand but, it's good, very good. Infinitely better than Streets of Love.First impression on the one hearing - Sort of reminded me of the Rolling Stones of 'Miss You' in a way. Lots of funky guitar work, mixed very

A bit of news about Brian Jones Police Reinvestigate Rolling Stone's Death I heard it at last - the other half of the new Rolling Stones single - 'Rough Justice', and ... it's bloody good. Far, far better than 'Streets of Love'. It's raunchy and really rocks along.Why then are all the DJ's only playing 'Streets of Love'? Could it be perhaps, one or two of the lyrics on 'Rough Justice'? 40 odd

Well folks you can't have failed to noticed that I've been slack with making posts to rolling-stones-world of late.I don't suppose anyone has been heartbroken about that fact, but the thing is that life is making things a little difficult at the moment.

Well this is all a bit beyond an ol' ludite like myself but it seems that most Rolling Stones tracks are available as downloads. All Greek to me, gimme vynal 45's.You can even get the new Rolling Stones single online.Two outfits are arguing who has the bigger stones catalog.

I finally heard it, Streets of Love that is. Just the once so far, but...... Oh Dear! It's dismal, to be polite. This is definitely not the 'rough raw sound' of the Rolling Stones of yesteryear. In fact it sounded like a reject from Voodoo Lounge!And if it is anyway representative of 'A Bigger Bang' then that will be another Rolling Stones album that just don't cut it.As I said I've only heard it

A wee bit more news on the Rolling Stones new album "A Bigger Bang"It has been said that the title of the album reflects the Stones "fascination with the scientific theory about the origin of the universe." Yes, of course it does.One site is reporting that many of the tracks on "A Bigger Bang" just have Mick, Keith and Charlie on them! And that...... the only other musicians that appear on the

Well, so far anyway there seems to be only one news site reporting this piece of Rolling Stones news, so.... it may not be your actual fact.FMQB Only a paragraph or so, as you will see, says the Stones will have a new single shipped out to radio stations tomorrow. They say the song is 'Rough Justice'.There has been nothing on the radio about a new Rolling Stones single, but then the news here has

The news today is that the Rolling Stones are releasing their new studio album later this year (September). But we knew that already didn't we.The album, the Stones first studio release since 1997's Bridges to Babylon, is said by some news sites to be named Neo-Con (title of one of the tracks), but others are saying that the Rolling Stones haven't settled on the album title yet.The whisper is

"Spending too much time awayI can't stand another day"This was 1966. Tracks were meant to be about two and a half mins long. Sure, you got some album tracks that exceeded this, but about four mins was the absolute longest.Then there was the Rolling Stones Aftermath album - and Going Home.The song did not end, it kept on and on. Started out a nice poppy tune, not your classic Rolling Stones blues

"Here it comes". That, I thought, was the title of the new Rolling Stones single. I was listening to one of those ultra small transistor radios (as we used to call them) that ran on four penlight batteries and gave you a very scratchy, tinny sound.Next time I heard it I learned the title was in fact Nineteenth Nervous Breakdown.Naturally I bought the disc as soon as I could, as I did with all the

Two news items that connect to the Rolling Stones.It seems that Keith Richards is to play Johnny Depp's dad after all. This has been on/off will he/won't he and I thought the last news was that Keith had missed his chance to be a pirate.This story - Keith Richards to play Depp's dad - says that Keith has been convinced personally by the Pirates of the Caribbean star to appear in the two sequels,

"I'm glad I opened your eyesThe have-nots would have tried to freeze you in ice"The Rolling Stones had enjoyed a nice run of high flying singles when they decided to release this one. Have You Seen Your Mother, Baby, Standing in the Shadow? was not a flop, not by a long chalk, but not their biggest success either. It did climb briefly to No.5 in the UK but only made No.24 in the USA.What the heck

"Love comes at the speed of lightLove comes in a strange disguise"I don't know about you, but Continental Drift has always seemed to me to be a through back to the Rolling Stones of 'Their Satanic Majesties' rather than the time that it was actually recorded and released on Steel Wheels.This track features The Master Musicians of Jajouka a group of Moroccan musicians.
