Try telling that to the 100,000 fans they would attract at any concert...today !!!!
Remember my friends , they were widely recognised as always being "The Greatest Rock n Roll Band in the World" for many many years. Whether or not you agree with that label doesn't matter because millions do agree!!!!
They can still pack them in , even today regardless of their geriatrics.
I grant you they were not as artistically cerebally inclined in song writing skills like other groups but they know how to " kick ass" on stage and they had some pretty fine songs - I Can't Get No Satisfaction is still in the top 10 of all time rock songs. I love Beggar's Banquet album...and Exile on Main Street is still considered a rock classic album ! They lost it for me when they released Emotional Rescue ! But I'd go see them live in a heartbeat.
Paint It Black, Ruby Tuesday, Jumpin' Jack Flash, Street Fightin' Man, It's Only Rock n Roll, Waiting on a Friend,Lady Jane (Asher), Gimme Shelter, Sympathy for the Devil. Honky Tonk Woman, Start Me Up, Angie, Wild Horses...and much more,,,,great rock blues ! I agree that their style - blues rock became a dead end for them since Steel Wheels but they are still popular among the masses and when you come down to it ...that's what counts....Artist and Fan !!!! ...all the rest is just fluff ! Remember music is very subjective !!!!
Besides , CDs are going by the wayside and concerts will be the thing and believe me they know how to do a live show !!!!!:nod:
ACDC is going toward the same path....great live band !!!!...not really a thought provoking lyrically inclined group...now are they ! Just like the new Green Day live album...sometimes you have to turn it loose and have fun rocking out to great high energy rock !!!!
Hmmmm???. wondering how long Macca will tour....as the Stones would say "Time Waits for No One " !!!!
