Stones at Glastonbury

Is it just me or are they way passed their sell by date 😯

past.

And yes.

I’ll just copy and paste what I wrote on the what are you doing right now thread:

I’m guessing some people at the concert will be convincing themselves that “they’ve still got it”. But, this just looks a bit embarrassing. I thought they looked old when I saw them in 1997. Somebody is behind the stage doing the real drumming, right?

The drummer looks like Earl off the wonga.com adverts….

Rolling bones.
6/10 Thats being kind, flat sound.

im sure paint it black & sympathy for the devil will be good but it they look pretty bad so far

I’d want some sort of refund …

Im bored with their set already, the crowd look bored too. Its amazing what a bit of radio 1 hype can do. Id rather be watching wiley 😉

Amazing bands out there at the moment with jaw dropping sets, Muse for example, or even example, who had the crowd bouncing solidly for every song, and they have this lot headlining 🙁

I know they are influential, and pivotal in their day, but for the love of god, let them retire!

I am watching in a macabre way. It’s a shame that this is what the mainstream music industry hinges on in this day and age.

Shocking, I can’t believe they insist on touring, wrinkly has beens that need to retire.
Give it up Mick

Oh dear. Who the **** put this set list together?

Finally

on the subject of animated corpses

walking dead season 3 has just started on C5

Does Jagger have a striking resemblance to Iggy Pop?

Public enemy on BBC4

im sure paint it black & sympathy for the devil will be good but it they look pretty bad so far

Sympathy for the Devil a bit shit. So, all hopes resting on Paint it Black. 🙂

They should have split up gracefully at the tail end of the 70’s. Some bands or artists get better with age, not the Stones though 😥

bring the noise bbc4, now!

Trying to guess what’s on their rider…

Can you snort Horlicks?

Ah **** it, this is the worst thing since Coldplay. Public Enemy it is then.

Trying to guess whats on their rider.

Sanatogen, Werthers Original and Ovaltine

Johnny Marr on the red button or Chase and Status on BBC3.

Oh great – a lecture from Public Enemy. 😐

why is he squarking like a parriot

Ah that’s more like it. 🙂

Yep. Better choices. On´t red button.

its prosaicly apt that the stones on the stage have actually been around a lot longer than the ones standing a couple of fields away.

Jnr (11) wanted to stay up to, I was in the office watching Public Enemy 🙂

I went in to him to ask him what he thought – bit boring…. “well they are 70-odd”, “oh really I thought they were new”. 😆

Tight set from Johnny Marr.

Are you lot actually listening to this?
Obviously not, by some of the comments above.

Surprisingly good so far – pretty tight, Jagger’s in tune and the crowd are enjoying it.

I was expecting a car crash, but they’re excellent.

hip replacement time rather than bein hip but they have got the crowd goin…… cant argue with the cataloge of hits they can delve into either and better than a lot of sh*t* ive seen there this year?

You are Pinocchio and I claim my five pounds 😀

Rusty, I think we can appreciate what the Stones have done for popular music. They resurrected the careers of some blues legends and made some great songs. It may not even be a bad set, however maybe they should move aside and pass the baton to the next generation.

They are garbage

rusty spanner my freeview reception must be shagged then because they sound awful

Are you lot actually listening to this?

Well I was. For around three songs. And it was shit. No, it was beyond shit. It was what shit turns into when it gets too old.

You are Pinocchio and I claim my five pounds 😀

Er, no not really.

I’m just not despeartely trying to reinforce my musical credibility by judging something before I’ve heard it. 🙂

No i dont think so – garbage did stupid girl?

I like the stones but watching this is not great i’m not getting it, but to be there must be kin amazing !

sound is sh1te watching on virgin HD through the stereo but something is seriously lacking with the quality cos everything else has sounded spot on

…how is jagger so skinny ?
