I'm just sayin'..
um, with that said can the stones please quit touring? I heard the stage creaking from my room. ty.
Just a question. Have you actually seen the Stones anytime recently?
Answer honestly. [/b]
Spending more money for one night than I pay on a $4k medical bill that i got when i totalled my car coming home from a show in a month? fuck no.
Did see U2 at MSG last year as a late birthday present from a friend. Both nights, on the floor, and was simply amazing. [/b]
Fine then. It looks like I can have an educated debate with you, then. Saw U2 on the floor both nights at MCI. I agree/I can relate. It was amazing. (So amazing, I'm going to see them in Hawaii next Saturday & Pearl Jam's opening.) Saw the Stones on November 17th in A.C. 3rd time this tour alone. I'm not gonna try and justify the $400+ price tag, cause it's pretty fuckin' high. But it's WELL worth it. There's a reason that people come out in DROVES to pay that shit whenever they tour. People constantly say "Oh, they're so old." But no one's ever seen them that says that. Any time I've come from a show with someone or talked to people after seeing them the 1st time its usually, "Wow! I didn't know they were still THAT good." Simply put, Mick Jagger's an ageless fuckin' wonder. They give you 2+ hours at a minimum EVERY show. And at the age of 63, Mick doesn't stop moving THE WHOLE SHOW. I'm 28, weigh about 185, and I'm 5'11". Unless I drink an inordinate amount of Grey Goose, I can't FUCK for two plus hours let alone run around non-stop on a 100-foot stage. (Sorry, I suffer from Newport respiratory syndrome.)
Since you've been to a U2 show Kat, you remember how it was festive and what not, but there was a spiritual aspect to it?
Like a spiritual cleansing or some shit of that nature?? U2 shows are like church + rock to the nth degree. The Stones shows, however, are pretty much the ultimate party. That's what I love about concerts. Where else in the fuckin' world are you gonna see a 28-year old black man running around high-fiving 40 & 50-something year old white men & their MILF wives, like old buddies but who are in actuality perfect strangers, while singing "Jumpin' Jack Flash" off-key as hell?
? At a Stones show. That's where.
To sum it all up, the Stones aren't like Dylan (And I love Dylan) is now, who chooses to mumble his way through songs and what not. For those of you who were at VFest and saw the Who, most people said it was great/borderline amazing. I agree. Well, the Stones are even better than that. 60 year olds aren't supposed to rock like that. If you ever get the chance, I suggest you go. Well worth the $400+, and any time from here on out they come anywhere near the tri-state area, they got my money for sure. It's some fantastic shit for lack of a more elequent terminology . . .
