[QUOTE=thickasabrick]its somewhat weird thinking about how big the Stones are. like some people consider them the greatest band of all time, but think about it...

early to mid sixties mod era: the Who, and the Beatles, were better than the Stones

later sixties psychadelic era: tons of bands were better than the Stones

seventies arena rock: Zeppelin, Floyd, The Who, countless bands were bigger than the Stones

eighties: they still put out albums, and toured a lot, but really didn't do anything too amazing.

90's to now: still nothing that was too great.

i think they are so famous, just because they have been touring and putting out albums for so long, they never really went away. there has always been better bands than them.[/QUOTE]

They also were part of the first wave of the British Invension. I think they are so big because they were the bad boys of music during those days. Today they seem tame, but back then, they were outrages, probably the Eminem of that period.

(I never thought I would put the Rolling Stones and Eminem on the same sentence... )

Plus, they kept rock alive after the disaster at Altamont, the Beatles' breakup, and the deaths of Hendrix and Morrison.

Oh, and their best material (Sticky Fingers, Let It Bleed, Beggars' Banquet, Exile on Main Street) is fantastic.

ya thats true. they were known more for their personalities than other bands at the time. they were so much more raw and sexual, than say...the beatles.

i'm sure you all know this, but in American Pie, Don Mclean refered to Mick Jagger as the devil. He hated Mick Jagger so much.

I have a friend who hates the Stones just because of Mick Jagger... actually, because of how Jagger performs... weird.

But I'm slowly getting him into the Stones. 'Sympathy for the Devil' and 'Paint it Black' are very tempting.

ya actually my favourites are Sympathy for the Devil, and Paint it Black. but i also love You Can't Always Get What You Want.

Wild Horses is one of their best.

Well, I like a lot of songs by them, but those are the ones that my friend actually tolerates.

i've got an off topic question, i'd ask elsewhere, but i know you guys the best so i like talking to you.

is it bad to use alcohol and marijuana at the same time? i was telling my friend about last night, and i mentioned i smoked some weed, and then drank some vodka..and he's like "mixing alcohol and weed is how you die, it's so bad for you."

i had never heard that before, is what he's telling me fact or fiction?

and once again, sorry for the spam.

The Best Classic Rock Bands

The Who

The Beatles

Bowie

The Doors

Zeppelin

Stones

AC/DC ( in a way cuz their albums came out in the 70s)

Clapton's bands
Thats all i can think of

I don't think it would kill you, but it would leave you in a very f.ucked up state later on.

Unless you plan on over-drinking-and-smoking it won't kill you.

well actually HendrixPage, that's just your opinion. you can't state "The Best" bands straight out like that, unless the whole world agreed with you. and i for one do not agree with you.

and Bowie is a guy, not a band.

oh ok. i used to drink all the time, and i've never been hung over. today was the first time i have been hung over, and i was wondering why, and then my friend told me that, and i was like "uh oh, maybe im dying".

thanks.

:lol: "uh oh, maybe I'm dying" :lol: that's priceless man.

When he says "the best", he obviously means "the best in my opinion". If he says it, it's his opinion. I assumed we all knew that, and that you weren't one of the people who is confused unless someone puts "IMO" in their post.

[QUOTE=Woodstock]Wild Horses is one of their best.[/QUOTE]

123. That whole album is fantastic.

my friend told me about drinking and smoking weed at the same time. hes still a genius in school. it cant be too good for you. go ahead and try it, but i wouldnt do it too much. you dont want to smoke and drink yourself retarded

whats 123

When someone say "123" it means they agree.

Rolling Stones are okay. My parents saw them about 7 years ago (wow....its been that long?)

I like the riff in Satisfaction, and Paint it Black's a pretty **** cool song too.

I feel like a noob for knowing only their hits.

No offense but your friend is a dumbass. You will not die from mixing alcohol and weed. It will only result in you getting real ****ed up and feeling retarded the next day. :lol:

On a side note, classic rock is the **** and it's the main type of music I listen to.

Edit: I was censored! BASTARDS! This is the first forum I've been on that does that.

Thats the only Stones song I can stand, and there are still things in it that piss me off.

Take a break Rock. Stop wasting space.

[I]Exile on Main Street[/I] is just flawless imo. I actually happen to like most of their albums. The people who only know the Stone's hits are really missing out on a lot of good material, I happen to not like their singles nearly as much as some of their most classic albums on the whole such as [I]Let it Bleed[/I], [I]Sticky Fingers[/I], or [I]Beggar's Banquet[/I].

Well, using the word "better" can't really describe a bands success. The other bands listed may have been better then the Stones but the Stones were probably bigger. Especially in the late Sixties. The only band that was bigger then them was the Beatles and at times the Doors. Also in the 80's they were still releasing fairly good material while most of the bands from the 60's were gone.

[QUOTE=thickasabrick]i dunno, it's a cool pic but i think you've probably got the best avatar around right now.[/QUOTE]

AHEM.



:p

Yea I enjoy Paint It Black and a few of their other riffs, but other than that the Stones aren't very big in my book. Their music is kind of plain to me. They have been around for a while though, I'll give em that.
