Default The Rolling Stones Still Going After 50 Years
While there are proclaimed, by self or by industry, King and Queens of Rock-n-Roll music, this group is the Master of them all. Still as energetic, entertaining and exciting now as they were in the early 1960s, The Rolling Stones have a sound that is uniquely all them that no other group has come close to matching.

If you think watching a bunch of geriatrics that are more than eligible to be collecting their old-age pensions, to be as exciting and energetic as they were back in the 1960s, then more fool you.

Well thats one opinion...


RS's problem is that its still operating like it was 50 years ago. A lot of magazines do this but Rolling Stone still attempts to operate as if they're the cutting edge of rock journalism when really the internet has legitimized DIY projects and allowed them to mass market everything.

Why do you have to blow up my spot man? Couldn't just let that ride?

Anyway, The Stones don't get enough credit for still giving a damn, and probably too much credit for "still going" but I don't mind them.

Also, we have a really extensive RS discussion in another forum.

I dunno why people still take this magazine seriously. It's sort of hard to rebuild credibility after you put Limp Bisquick on the cover and take him srsly. Really, it seems like their ratings and reviews have less to do with personal opinions than the opinions they expect the masses to have.

I don't think the magazine is entirely dead or worthless as a format, but this particular one has certainly jumped the shark.

And yet this thread was not originally about the magazine, it's about the band.

I really don't see the point of keeping a thread about a band we already have a thread for when the point of starting the thread was to insert a link to another site.
