The Rolling Stones - Loving Cup

The Rolling Stones have been announced to headline the Glastonbury festival on Saturday 29 June.
Mick, Keith, Charlie and Ronnie will continue their 50 & Counting celebrations on the legendary Pyramid Stage in what will undoubtedly be the highlight of this world famous summer music festival.

Mick Jagger: Can't wait to play Glastonbury. I have my wellies and my yurt!

Keith Richards: We all had such a ball last year, and the energy between the band is so good. We can’t wait to play Glastonbury, see you on a summer's day in England!

Well, Slash w/ Kinison (Wild thing), same story as Axl w/ Monroe (Dead, jail or rock n roll [studio version]) ... on video yes, on audio no.

That Black & White is very questionable, Slash on it? Axl on it? I doubt both rumours.

Btw. i have all these records i´m talking about so ... if someone can prove that i´m wrong, i´m just happy about it.

Thanks.

Fixed.

I think the new line up has a really great chemistry which the last lineup didn't have.

Dj may do similar things every show but that would only apply if you go and see every GNR show. Most people go only to one show, duuuuh.

Yeah, but my point is that DJ doesn't have natural stage presence or charisma like, oh I dunno, Slash. Everything he does is a rehearsed "move".

Yes, Slash's stage presence is fantastic. I saw him lash month and he really "steals" the show. He looks cool with a guitar.

^cool. Thanks.

The first time I saw Slash I caught two picks from Kerns, one from Slash, and a drumstick from the drummer whose name escapes me at the moment. It was an incredible show, and even more incredible I caught all that stuff at one show.

I have one from Kerns... actually, his pick hit me in the head

Thanks Ratbrain and War for the correct info.

* - Slash probably plays on this song, but I'm not sure.

** - Slash wtote the guitar riff, but probably doesn't play on this song.

Also, Slash himself confirmed that he did not play on Michael Jackson's hit single Black or White (the main riff); but he plays on the beginning part of the song.

Thanks to: http://www.slashparadise.com/discography/albums-slash-guest.php . I just added the youtube links.

Axl was responding Nivens interviews he did a few years ago. Around time of slsh book.

People definitely interested in these anecdotes. I think Axl has been to right to keep the control of band and not let them be just puppets to some managers. As weve seen from CD they barely need management to sell some records n tour.

I believe those interviews were in response to what Axl said In his chats and/or other interviews. I recall in one interview Alan saying " I have a right to defend myself against this Guy".

Edi found the interview, Niven was responding to shit Axl said about him:

http://www.classicrockmagazine.com/news/exclusive-former-gnr-manager-counters-axls-claims/

I have this interview in .pdf if you need it...

Slash!
I've seen a lot of guitarists an bands over the years, but just few people can come close to Slash. It's not just his playing, but the whole performance. Simply, he looks cool with his guitar - cooler than any other guitar player. It's about his moving around the stage, his playing, his attitude... He can just stand on the stage and is still, well, Slash. His presence itself is enough to steal the show.
And there are not a lot of people with such a "carisma" (well, Axl is one of them).

You know what my problem is with Axl? I love the man but he always acts like he's the victim... People get tired of that shit

Alan Niven: "Good ol' Axl," he says drily. "No one ever did anything good for him. We all fucked his life, right?"

Alan always has something interesting to say. Here is an excerpt from one of his interviews (about Chinese Democracy):

BraveWords.com: “Well, yeah. Are you ‘allowed’ to say?
Alan Niven: “I thought it was complex and difficult to get through, but it was pretty Axl.”

BraveWords.com: For me, it was really more a question of is this what I waited fourteen years for? These songs could have been worked up in six months.
Alan Niven: “Here’s my pot shot about Chinese Democracy. Axl made two huge mistakes. One was releasing it and the other was Irving Azoff.”

BraveWords.com: Irving Azoff? Really? Why?
Alan Niven? “If I’d been in a responsible position to advise and counsel Axl, I would have done everything in my power to make sure that Chinese Democracy was something that people always talked about and wondered about, but never actually got to completely hear, that it would never be actually released. Recording went on for so long that there was no way in hell that the record he was putting together was going to meet expectations. The minute it was released Mitch, it became just one more record. Before its release it was a myth. It was fascinating. People talked about it. People wanted to hear it. The third mistake was that he should have made sure to keep all his tapes and all his discs under his wing and under his lock and key, so, that there wouldn’t have been any leaks. Then he could have released the occasional track and he could have worked them 'live' for another ten years. That would have been more mysterious, more engaging, more fascinating…”

BraveWords.com: It has been said that the ‘anticipation is always greater than the get.’ That’s what Chinese Democracy was…
Alan Niven: “I would disagree. The "get" of my wife was much more than I could have anticipated.”

BraveWords.com: The Toronto Star interviewed me about Chinese Democracy’s release and my quote was that ‘Chinese Democracy – the myth would always be greater than the actual album’.
Alan Niven: “Absolutely and if Axl had gone out and toured when he needed to he could have played the occasional song from it live. There would have been a process there for him… the immediacy of performance really sharpens up a musical statement and releasing the whole album was a mistake. I think the release was done purely based on financial reasons. And Irving wanted to get it out of the way because he wanted the reunion. I doubt he was motivated to see it successful. He essentially got paid for it's release, not it's subsequent performance and the deal with Best Buy was set up that way. Going with Best Buy narrowed the market reach - Wal Mart would have been a better exclusive - they have a deeper reach into secondary and tertiary markets - but best of all would have been to let everyone have it. There is a sense that the deal was designed to maximize the immediate take - to grab that and run to the next point of agenda - a re-union. I don’t think Irving ever understood the unlikelihood of that reunion ever taking place and how deep feelings run.”

BraveWords.com: Irving has always been one to make things happen, to make reunions happen. Do you think there was an arrogance there that he would be able to make a reunion happen?
Alan Niven: “I couldn’t speak to whether Irving can be deemed arrogant, but I do suspect his middle name is Napoleon.”

Full interview: http://www.bravewords.com/news/146671

Oh, and there was a great, 6 or 7 page interview with him in Classic Rock magazine (2009). I have it in .pdf, so if anyone is interested, I can upload it.

Sebastian "Dude" Bach is back!

What I would like to know is

When they first started out,opening for other bands say like Aerosmith,The Stones,etc. Was there ever issues with getting on stage on time?I just don't see those bands putting up with that.

"Axl [Rose] left some of the best of ‘em waiting. He left the Rolling Stones waiting for a sound check. In late ‘89, [Alan] Niven took Axl to do a pay-per-view show in Atlantic City and he kept banging on Axl’s door. Axl said, ‘The longer you pound, the longer I’m gonna take.’ Two hours later, Axl walks onstage and Mick Jagger is staring at him. And Keith Richards says, ‘I slept in a chandelier last night. What’s your excuse?’"

Doug Goldstein, in I Want My MTV: The Uncensored Story of the Music Video Revolution

VH1 should just broadcast the damn thing and deal with the lawsuits later... At least the world would see it.

No.

They were working on songs but nothing was record ready just demos

With vocals or just instrumental?

Happy birthday Axl.

God I hate the "gimme some reggae" part....

What the hell....

No, but if he had some leftovers from UYI I'd love to hear them!

Yeah, and if there are some alt. takes/alt. mixes, that would be great to hear. But re-recording those masterpieces... hell no!

“The live concert we did for MTV,” he relays one of those uh, experiences, “you couldn’t hear shit! It wasn’t so much that you couldn’t hear shit, it would have been better if I couldn’t hear anything. Instead, I heard spaceships landing onstage, echoes on my voice that were twisting everything. There’s never any echoes when I’m singing. I couldn’t tell what was coming out of my mouth onstage. They had Slash’s guitar cranked up a few times, so loud, and then other times it was Duff’s bass, and then it was no bass at all! It made it very hard to act like we were having a good time, and to give the people a good show. If you watch the concert, there’s a point where I throw the microphone down when we end one of the songs, but actually, I left the stage three times during the show. I nailed Doug, our tour manager, with the microphone while I was trying to hit the monitor man.”

“It’s kinda weird when you’re filming a major television thing and you got some guy who doesn’t know how to run monitors. I think we could have done a lot better for ourselves, but at the same time I feel we should be able to give the people of Anaheim (one of their best shows to date - Ed.) every time we play. I don’t think that interviews, or photo shoots, or anything should get in the way of that. That’s the priority for me, that people get what they paid their money for. Not, ‘Yeah, you pulled it off man. They didn’t even know you couldn’t sing, and your voice was thrashed.’ Well, my voice shouldn’t have been thrashed, and the monitor man should have known what he was doing, and I should have been able to do something special for these people.”

Rock Scene - April 1988

Rock 'n' roll songs shouldn't be remixed!

I've downloaded some demos few years ago, so I guess the original uploader named them wrong...

I have also Nightrain, Mr. Brownstone and Sweet Child O' Mine demos, that says "Metal Petals", but again, they could be named wrong.

Well, you can pm your e-mail and I can send them
