The 1st song I ever heard from The Stones was Miss You. I was just 9, dialing around the FM dial not knowing a thing about anything about anything about anything, till IT came on the radio.

I had a portable one speaker radio and a tape recorder and I taped it on a cheap 60 minute K-Mart Cassette. A music producer was born. It still remains one of the best things I ever recorded.

I knew this song was nasty, dirty, bad news. When they got to the line about the “Puerto Rican girls just dyin’ to meet you”, I was never the same again.

I must’ve played that song with song 50 times that afternoon.

They played “Do Ya Think I’m Sexy?’ right after it. Another hardcore thang!

. . . A perfect 70 degree June day.

Game Over.

Clildhood innocence no more!

Peter needs to watch Heima, the Sigur Ros documentary….it’s beyond everything else…

Its nice to see Jack white, a music innovater of this generation with the legends, the stones. However, the photographer fucked it up and they look really bad in that cover

Favresux, you dwell on three admittedly typical Stones tracks and neglect what we were debating in the first place: growth. Where are your acknowledgements of work like Continental Drift, Terrifying, One Hit (To The Body), or the amazing Rain Fall Down as examples of where the Stones have headed?

As to your other silly assumption that I need to “find some bands that still create work not going to be praised based simply on the name of the band”, I invite you to have a go at my CD collection and see if you’ve even heard of half the musicians in there. Better yet, educate yourself to a thousand Stones-influenced artists that are breaking new musical ground every day…The Tragically Hip or Jack White anyone?

By the way, this isn’t a war of words, but if it is words you wish to use at least educate yourself enough to punctuate and capitalize where required.

Now. Really? Favre sucks does he? That Brett Farve? The Legend Brett Favre? Hmmm. Even a Bears fan would say you’re a moron.

Oh, and Husker, it’s not a dick our friend needs to grow. It’s a brain.

And a guy who calls himself Favresux should be taken seriously? You sound like a self-righteous jerk-off…you’re the one who needs to grow - a dick…

Response to E!

I’m sorry I didn’t know that songs like mixed emotions, between a rock and a hard place, or love is strong were to be considered significant. Let’s call what it is CRAP. Classic rock artists suchs as Steely Dan, Bruce Springsteen, Bob Dylan, etc., have put out albums that are still significant in the last quarter century. To pretend that the music the stones have made over the last few years is significant is ridiculous. The fact that there music has not grown in any significant way during the time span is the reason it has not had the impact of their earlier work. So you should follow your own advice of growing with music and find some bands that still create work not going to be praised based simply on the name of the band, but by the quality of the work they are creating.

In response to Favresux:

To say “the Stones haven’t created a significant album in the last 25 years” is to simply ignore a great body of work in favor of a past body of work. ANY true fan will debate this with you to the ends of the earth. Forget Rolling Stone magazine for a moment; the audience should almost be chastised for not paying enough attention to the past two & a half decades of material. Look, the Stones don’t need our financial support (and screw ‘em for charging $400 a ticket on this last money-grabbing thrill ride), but listen to Dirty Work, Steel Wheels, Voodoo Lounge or A Bigger Bang and try and tell a true fan these creations aren’t
“significant”! Or less politely, just get your head out of your ass and out of the past. Grow with the music…don’t get stuck in its glorius history.

JbrownMB, you are so right! How did they manage to take the WORST picture of White imaginable? I didn’t know he could look that weird/bad/odd. They should’ve used the shot of them at the table together. Ouch. Who approved this? Was this run by management?

Good God! Looks like they finally found someone who manages to make Keith and Mick look ok.

I love the Stones but, I bet that the review the magazine does for the Shine A Light CD will say that “It’s the best live album since Get Yer Ya Ya’s Out”.

The same thing they say about every live album the Stones have released in the past 20 years.

I love the Rolling Stones and I’m excited to see the movie, but in no way will I rely on RS’s opinion of the film. Anytime the stones do anything RS slurps them like they just created the greatest piece of music that has ever been composed. In reality the Stones haven’t created a significant album in the last 25 years. I also think it’s cool that they played with Jack White during the movie, but Christina Aguilera? Seriously, that just lame!

the three guys on the cover should have been stipe, mills, and buck.

He is a RETARD!

Agreed, Jackie not looking the best, but, Jack rocks and this is finally a good cover from a music magazine that forgets it needs to make music its primary focus.

Jack White looks like a retard in that photo.
