dont they have the old bassist anymore? i dont recall there being a black member of the stones.

[Layne Staley's Sunglasses]

The black guy is just a touring member, not an "official" member of the Stones.  Wyman retired in '93 I think.

[AdZ]

Well, you're over ten years late.

Come on Garry, his name is Darryl Jones.? And has played on every album sense 1994.

Darryl Jones is a touring member.  (His name escaped me.  )

Cool picts, cool reviews. I have never seen the Stones, but I have a lot of their DVDs, most recently 3.14.06. Even though the guys have aged, they are in great shape and the music is still great, timeless. If  only their ticket prices were not so damn expensive!! Last time they came to my town the best seats were $400. For 2 that is $800, plus service fee, plus parking, plus beer, food, t-shirt, and all the rest. Easily $1000 for the night. That is a lot of money. But the Stones  still have  it, in my opinion.

Well, you're over ten years late.

im not a diehard fan of the stones....

and cheers guys for clearing this up!

Fantastic!

mrlee, GO SEE THEM!  You won't regret it.

A European leg is a good sign that the boys will hit up the States in the fall. 

[kaasupoltin]

I am so thrilled about that tour..! I'm going to waste all my money this summer. Hah, there are so many great concerts in Finland this year that I just can't attend them all

[NicoRourke]

Yes ! They are opening this new leg here in Belgium !

 

[estebanf]

That would be amazing.

there is a very big number of songs that come to my head when I think in a Axl/Mick duet...

Damn, I would love to see them again onstage.

I'd like to hear salt of the earth again. I thought it was great back in 89.

Got my tickets, going to see The Stones in Bucharest on July th 17th !!! And tickets aren't that expensive here, 50 Euro for the best non-VIP seats in the whole stadium...

  Can't wait, and I'm really curious about the opening act ( Hope it's GNR, but I doubt it...)

[melissa]

i hope i'll see them this year, in Bucharest or Budapest, haven't decided yet.
