i mean, i know they're not good anymore or relevant, but theres really no reason for this.
First Aerosmith, now the Stones.
Is there no match for the power that is Timberlake?
Give Justin a break and admit he's fuckin' talented. Just because he gets all the chicks.....

I wasn't being sarcastic. Like his music or not, the guy is talented and he appeals to a wide audience.
And yes, like Sigur said, I will give him credit because of all the chicks he's linked to. First he's got Britney Spears and then they split. Britney's going to be hard to top.....so he goes and gets Janet Jackson and the really good looking girl from one of his videos. How's he going to top that? Cameron Diaz. Granted, she might not do it for everyone, but she works for me.
Give the guy credit. From Mouseketeer to nailing more hot celebs than Hef. The kids got skills.

Amen! OmegaSlacker I will mention you on my next 'people-i-like'-list! :wink:
Regardless of how "talented" you think he is, he should not be sharing a stage with the Stones. Yet here we have it. Keith must be finally feeling old, because back in the day he would've punched out Justin, then punched out Mick for even considering it. How do you go from sharing the stage with Bob Dylan and BB King, to this dink?
If there's one thing The Stones aren't it's talented. I've watched some of their old shows on DVD, and what really shocked me was that none of them could play. It was fuckin' untight, and Jagger sang like shit. I'll admit that I've never been a Stones fan, I find there songs average and their lyrics naive and stupid. Not to mention Keith and Jagger who always acts like total fools on and off stage. Why all this hype about Stones why not bands like Kinks, Jethro Tull and Love which in my oppinion are much more interresting. I would never call Stones talented!
I just had to say this....
:yabbse-thumbdown:
I've always wanted to dig the stones....but I always have perferred the beatles.
SoNowThen, since I love you, would you please reccomend a few that might tickle my fancy? As of now I dig "under my thumb" and "paint it black"....i'm naive to their work i know, but id 'preciate any rec.s
BWAH!
I'm not big on them either, but one of the songs I like is Sympathy for the Devil

If I had to choose one, I'd download "Gimme Shelter" :yabbse-thumbup:
some say the greatest rock song ever recorded
I would be hard pressed to not agree (unless I'm in a Sympathy mood, in that case Gimme can be #2)...

I agree though I like the Brian Ferry version better.
Godard's 'Sympathy for the Devil' Set for DVD
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - French director Jean-Luc Godard's 1968 film "Sympathy for the Devil," an avant-garde work best known for its in-studio footage of the Rolling Stones working on their song of the same name, is coming out on DVD on Oct. 21, a spokesman said on Tuesday.
Rights to the film are owned by the Stones' former label, ABKCO Records, which recently has been busy releasing the group's "40 Licks" retrospective in partnership with Virgin Records, as well as a series of "Sympathy" remixes by various hot-shot producers. A source said the group's "Rock and Roll Circus" TV special is expected to be issued on DVD sometime next year.
The "Sympathy for the Devil" DVD, which incorporates high-definition transfers from the original negatives, will include the original trailer and a contemporary "Sympathy" video clip cut to the remix from producing duo the Neptunes, the spokesman said.
The film, an examination of western counter-culture, features frequent cuts to London's Olympic Studios, where singer Mick Jagger was leading his bandmates through a recording of "Sympathy," a rock epic steeped in historical and philosophical references. As Godard's cameras roll, the song starts off as a country ditty and ends up as a samba rhythm.
"We just happened to be recording that song," Jagger told Rolling Stone publisher Jann Wenner in 1995. "We could have been recording (the obscure 1967 album track) 'My Obsession.' But it was 'Sympathy for the Devil,' and it became the track that we used."
The Rolling Stones are currently on the road in Europe with four dates left on their year-long "Licks" world tour. Rumors that they will play China and Hong Kong in November remain unconfirmed.
Yeah that's great news........BUT....
is it Godard's version (which is called One Plus One) or is it the hack-job version that caused JLG to punch out his producer at the Cannes premier?
They put the full version of Sympathy at the end, and changed the title to basically sell it to teeny-boppers, and lost the point of what Godard was trying to equate by tipping the scales in favor of the Stones. As much as I'm nuts about the band, it ruins the point of the movie. So here's to hoping that this will finally be the right version...
does anyone know where i can get hold of a good documentary of the stones?
and yes... i've seen "gimme shelter".
only two I can think of:
Hal Ashby's concert doc (which I think was called Let's Spend The Night Together)
and
a bootleg copy of Cocksucker Blues
Quote from: SoNowThena bootleg copy of Cocksucker Blues
yeeeah right...
i was thinking of a doc that chronicles their shit from the start and until keith richards had enough of mick jagger. i remember a doc i saw when i was young, don't remember any titles or so.
Quote from: SoNowThena bootleg copy of Cocksucker Blues
oh yeah, my uncle told me about that. i almost got one a year or so ago off ebay because i really wanted to see it, but gave up for some reason.
Rolling Stones' drummer Watts has cancer
Source: Reuters
LONDON -- The Rolling Stones' 63-year-old drummer Charlie Watts is suffering from throat cancer but should recover after radiotherapy, a band spokesman said.
Watts was diagnosed in June after a minor operation and is now reaching the end of his treatment at a London hospital, the spokesman said on Saturday in a statement to media.
"He's expected to make a full recovery and start work with the rest of the band later in the year," he added.
Watts, who has a reputation as the quietest member of the legendary British band, gave up smoking decades ago.
"He's very positive because he's been told he has every chance of being completely cured," a family friend was quoted as saying in The Mail on Sunday newspaper.
"The last thing he wants is everyone calling and making a fuss, thinking he's going to die."
The spokesman said Watt's treatment had not interfered with any of the Stones' tour or recording plans. The rest of the group were "relaxing between work commitments," he said.
i wish him a speedy recover and all, but it's strange that he gets hit with cancer in the band. keith richards, whom i loathe, smokes three cartons of cigs a day and is still here. bastard!
relax, i'm just joking.
Case of 1969 Altamont Stabbing Closed
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20050526/ap_on_re_us/altamont_case_closed
OAKLAND, Calif. - Nearly 36 years after a man was stabbed to death during a Rolling Stones concert at Altamont Speedway, investigators have closed the case, dismissing a theory that a second Hells Angel took part in the killing.
Meredith Hunter, 18, was killed during the free concert on Dec. 6, 1969. The show, which drew an estimated 300,000 people, was billed as the "Woodstock of the West," but the death helped bring to an end the image of the peace-and-love '60s. The concert, and the stabbing, were captured on film in the 1970 documentary "Gimme Shelter."
As the Stones played on stage, a member of the Hells Angels motorcycle gang, hired by the band to provide security, attacked, stabbed and killed Hunter.
Alan Passaro was acquitted after a jury concluded he acted in self-defense because Hunter was carrying a gun. But there had been rumors over the years that a second unidentified assailant had inflicted the fatal wounds, and the case remained open.
But Alameda County sheriff's Sgt. Scott Dudek said Wednesday that after a renewed investigation over the past two years, authorities concluded that Passaro, who died in 1985, was the only person to stab Hunter and did so only after Hunter pointed a gun at the stage.
Dudek said Passaro's lawyer confirmed his client was the lone assailant. In addition, enhanced and slowed-down footage from the film shows Hunter brandishing the gun just before Passaro leaps from the stage and stabs him, Dudek said.
Hunter's relatives said Wednesday they had always held out hope that someone would be convicted in the case.
"The problem is the wounds that have been reopened are still devastating to the family," Hunter's sister, Dixie Ward, 63, told the San Francisco Chronicle.
Stones: Hello, ani 'Tuesday'
TORONTO -- The Rolling Stones, long identified with their lips-and-tongue logo, are about to get the cartoon treatment in "Ruby Tuesday," an animated film featuring 12 of their songs set to begin production later this year.
EuropaCorp. and Mick Jagger's Jagged Films are co-producing the project, which will be written and directed by Paul and Gaetan Brizzi. The story is described as "a Faustian tale of a single mother searching for happiness in New York." The film's song selection has not been finalized, though presumably the well-known title track will be included.
"After seeing their finale to 'Fantasia 2000,' it's clear the Brizzi brothers are the perfect animators to bring this story to life," said Hal Sadoff, ICM's head of independent and international film.
The Brizzis are best known for their animated French family adventure "Asterix vs. Caesar" and the "Firebird Suite" segment of "Fantasia 2000."
The Brizzis approached Jagged Films' Victoria Pearman with the idea for the film.
Rolling Stones Get Animated
Across the Universe scribes talk Tuesday.
Screenwriters Dick Clement and Ian La Frenais are working on another music-themed film to follow their Golden Globe-nominated Beatles tribute, Across the Universe.
The pair are collaborating on an animated movie called Ruby Tuesday that will feature the songs of The Rolling Stones, which Mick Jagger is producing. They recently dished some new details about the picture in an interview with the Movieweb.com website.
"It is going to be CGI," says La Frenais. "It will be interesting. The animation is actually going to be done in Paris. It will be some pretty hip animation."
The film, which Clement and La Frenais stress is not a strictly a children's movie, tells the story of a single mother looking for happiness in New York City. It will feature 12 songs by the Stones.
Filmmaking brothers Paul and Gaetan Brizzi will direct Ruby Tuesday. Animation enthusiasts will know them from their work on Fantasia 2000's "The Firebird Suite" segment.
Clement and La Frenais are currently making the rounds promoting The Bank Job, the forthcoming vintage-style heist thriller starring Jason Statham.
