I rock out to this concert on a regular basis mate.

The Stones are fantastic.....not the best music I've heard, but I have total respect for what they've achieved. Awesome!

Are a multi million dollar business and there are plenty of 500 companies that have been around for as long if not longer than them, yet in saying that, collectively the Stones members combined wealth doesn't equal that of Paul McCartney.

Stones 50th

By -- 13/07/12@01:32

Hope a Beatles v Stones argument doesn't break out! As a guitarist I quite like both bands (Ronnie is highly respected) but I still love The Who more than both of them put together I'm afraid. The really great thing about the Stones is that most of them are still around and still playing together of course!

the stones..

Unreal band.. love to listen em in the car.. you know there was a little segment on a morning show a couple of days ago about how mick jagger is gay???!!!!??? caught in bed with David Bowie by his missus years ago apparantly!!! (not tryin to bring up a debate, just seen it on telly is all..)

Old news.

By HK-ing 13/07/12@09:24 4340

Mick playing around with Bowie for a little while? Yeah, that old story has been around for decades. I think I first heard it over 20 years ago. Nobody really gave a hoot then, and the only reason anyone does now, is that an author is trying to capitalise on some media attention.

The Seekers..?

By HK-ing 13/07/12@09:36 4340

I saw the Stones only once, at the Bris Ent Cent, JUST before Mick n Keef turned 60 (became old). They were even better than I expected. Richards sang pretty well, all things considered.
The promoter chose a great support in You Am I, but the wrinklies amongst the ticket buyers just didn't geddit. Old folk are so dumb!

Off the top of my head, The Seekers are the only band that could rival the Stones for longevity. Is there anyone else who gets close? Mormon Tabernacle Choir? (although they've had a history of line-up changes - far more than just a drowning, an indifferent bass player, etc).

HK'ing.

Who formed in 1961 and their line up remains unchanged to this day, they're best known for their infamous song "Radar Love". Equal to the Stones is Status Quo, both bands were formed in 1962.

Golden Earing = Moontan. Radar Love was only one part of a great album. I think I wore my record out.

...and raise you Spinal Tap.
They formed in the early 60's, and to my knowledge, still going. They've had the same line-up, although they've had many drummers because they keep dying.

Best known for their hit "Big Bottom".

AC/DC

By Waz-1961 13/07/12@17:37

My son once worked for a touring company as hired hand that serviced all major international acts, one night when AD/DC were performing he sent me a text "hey dad check this out" followed by a picture of Angus and himself in a huddled pic. He said that the members of AC/DC were cool as they talked and mingled with just about everyone prior to the show, also unlike most other international acts they also allowed all of the hired help stay backstage for the entire show.

as such but Vienna Boys Choir been going for around 500 years or so from memory?

Also Stones have had about 10 or more members. Only 4 in it now, so more cash for them I reckon.

I saw the Stones in Brisbane when I was 16 (1973) much to the oldies dismay, oh well you get that hey?
