Re: Rolling Stones Discussion (US Tour Announced!)
Oh ok well that's good to hear. Yeah I understand. 
Re: Rolling Stones Discussion (US Tour Announced!)
There's a serious lack of respect in here for a bigger bang.
I'm pretty late to the party with this thread, but I just read through it while sitting here listening to Bigger Bang and had to comment. This album kicks serious ass. There is a lot of praise for Doom and Gloom on this thread, the track would fit right into Bigger Bang, the album is very much in the same vein as the new track.
I will have to check out Voodoo Lounge though because of all the love for it on this thread, but I don't like a lot of the older Stones stuff. So far I've found I like these new tracks on the greatest hits, Bigger Bang, and just a few of their older songs. I like their classics like, Miss You, Can't Get No Satisfaction, Sympathy for the Devil, Paint it Black, etc., and I like the hard rock tracks that I've been able to find. I haven't gotten through their whole catalogue, but it seems that most of their work is too country and too blues for my taste.
From what I've read, their Exile on Main Street album is supposed to be their best, and I hated it. I've tried listening to it a couple of time, and I can't get past the first 5 tracks w/o being bored out of my mind.

A Bigger Bang is their best album since Tattoo You.

Alot of their albums it depends on the production from what I've heard and listened over the past couple years. I'm mostly into their Greatest Hits and of course Doom & Gloom and alot of their late 60s/ 70s material. Some stuff from the early 80s. I've heard mixed opinions about Voodoo.
Re: Rolling Stones Discussion (US Tour Announced!)
I'm a big fan of The Stones, but I pretty much acknowledge their prime was that 1967-1972 period. That's the zenith. I love all the albums equally from that period.
Pre-1967 and post-1972, I see The Stones as purely a singles band. For years i've had the Beggar's Banquet, Let It Bleed, Sticky Fingers & Exile On Main Street albums. Those are the shit. The rest I did a mix CD of about 20 tracks of some of their non-album singles.
I'm happy with that five-disc collection as really my alpha/omega of the Stones.

(Gibson) The Rolling Stones may be on their 50 and Counting tour, but Keith Richards is polishing a new solo album for 2014. In a new interview with Mojo magazine, Richards says: "I've been cutting stuff with Steve Jordan. For the last couple of years we get together and lay down tracks for a possible album.
"There's some great stuff in the can, we're just polishing things up and waiting for the right time to put it out. Maybe after this year with The Stones."
Steve Jordan is the drummer/multi-instrumentalist who co-produced with Richards in his X-Pensive Winos band. Read more about Keith Richards' solo albums.
In the same Mojo interview, Richards admits "there couldn't be a Rolling Stones without Charlie Watts." He also gives credit to bassist Darryl Jones. "Everybody thinks he's the new boy but he's been with us 20 years. His playing with Charlie is so locked in, I can't think of a rhythm section I've been with, except in the Winos maybe with Steve Jordan and Charlie Drayton, where I've felt that same rapport. I wanna give Mr. Jones his due."
