All the way back into the 1990s, Jimmy Walker was going on Letterman and making jokes about Keith Richards looking like the walking deadFishpo31 said:Look out, the old man is into the bourbon...
It is a slippery slope with some bands, for me...the "getting ripped off by management" theme is ever-present. Billy Joel received $8000 in royalties for Piano Man...he signed away everything to get out of a shit record deal, and it hit...5x Platinum. 8 grand for 5 mm records sold...
Allen Klein owns the Stones publishing from 1963-1969...He died in 2009, and his estate still owns the rights. He didn't write, he didn't play, all he did was make the deal...Old Allen got 1.7mm lbs (HA!) for that, and the Stones got nothing...
Yeah, they haven't done anything of significance since the early 80's, and they have more money than they could ever need or want, but they like to play, and people like to pay...I've seen them five tims, and while the set list rarely changes (the hits), it is never stale (for the True Believers), and they never phone it in. WATBS, I will never pay to see them (or others of that vintage) live again. People pay big to see them for what they were, not what they are...
I see the pooont. but if I don't like it, I don't have to pay for it, and I don't...
The Stones' obit has been written for 40+ years...I was there for the initial funeral, in 1981...

AC/DC. I think they will continue as long as Angus is alive.

They at least churn out one to two good tunes an album. Granted they all sound the same but at least it still works.alumni94 said:AC/DC. I think they will continue as long as Angus is alive.
