I'm lovin' the two singles they've got out - "Streets of Love" and "Rough Justice". Maybe it's because I'm a big Stones fanboy, but they are some tight tracks...hopefully they'll play a few more new songs when I see them on Sunday because so far it's looking really good.

These guys just need to die. Sure they had a couple of good songs from the 70's and that baby song from the mid 90's. But, man these guys sound absolutely terrible live. And they charge 450 bucks a ticket? Fuck that.

I haven't heard 'Streets of Love' yet, but I really dig 'Rough Justice'. They added 8 more tour dates for 2006, and I had my eye on a $175 ticket in the 200 section. That's alot of money, but...ugh, decisions, decisions. I just want to see them live before all of their hearts stop...though mine will quit tickin' before theirs.

What a truly ignorant thing to say. They had more than just a "couple" good songs.

But I do agree... their stuff now is starting to get pretty old...

Saying the Stones had a couple of good songs is like saying Hitler caused a couple of deaths.

I heard some Rhapsody-exclusive single called "Back of my Hand" or something (title made me laugh), but I remember it being good (I only listened once, it was a few weeks ago), it sounded more like a 40's style blues song, which is GREAT.

And johng, anyone that doesn't give the Rolling Stones credit for making good, often great, albums consistently for at least ten years needs to do some rethinking. Seriously, say what you want about the late seventies, eighties, and nineties, but in the sixties, few bands were better than the Stones. Anyone that did what they did can, in my opinion, live forever and be washed up the whole time and I wouldn't care.

while i have yet to hear most of the Rolling Stones songs, what i have heard has mostly been very unimpressive and not very listenable to my ears

Just bought Best of... Jump Back 1971-1993. It's pretty good, I only bought it because I have absolutely no RS albums

The title of "A Bigger Bang" makes me chuckle.

I'm still trying to figure out why the hell "Sympathy for the Devil" isn't on that CD.

Beggars Banquet, which was Sympathy for the Devil's original album, came out in '67 or '68, whereas the cd moviegroupie has apparently covers 71-73.

johng, it's cool, you opinion's your opinion. Sorry for going off on you ;)

Ah, that explains it. For some reason, I though "Sympathy" was a 70s song.

Yeah Sympathy for the Devil is great, but I'm at no loss for not having it on the cd. I downloaded it recently

No prob dude. I fucking LOVE Sympathy for the Devil. I love it. It's funny, watching Interview with a Vampire I was bored out of my mind. Then the ending came, and that happened. Then the song came on, and I was like, "What a great song to play at a time like this."


But I sincerely love that song.

I just checked IMDB and you're right, they did use that version. I've only seen it once and that was like 4 years ago. I just remember hearing the classic opening of the song.

I was um, forwarded a copy of this by a friend, and here's what I think of it after my first listen: alright, but nothing great. It's good to see the army of side musicians used on the Forty Licks tour done away with, although it still sounds kinda heavily produced. The songs themselves are alright, not bad, not great. A couple stinkers, namely Jagger's blatantly anti-Bush "Sweet Neo Con", which I'm sure will get plenty of praise from the folks over at Rolling Stone, but just sounds annoying to me. None really stuck out as great. All in all, 6/10, maybe a 7/10.
