    I hope 304 isn’t curtained off, I was very happy with the seats I got!!

    Also, WHY are people mentioning ed Sheeran on this thread? What relevance has he got to the Stones? I don’t want him gatecrashing a gig I’ve been waiting on for YEARS!

    Because its a rock concert, the people who wanna hear ed sheeran sing will hear him tonight in the phoenix park.

    He doesnt deserve to be on stage with the stones.

    The Stones from 68-75 were the best band of all time. That includes the Beatles for me.

    That said, I strongly believe they have a full band hidden away somewhere who are actually playing the tunes. As a guitarist, I've looked at footage of the Stones of late and what Keef is playing is not what's coming out of the speakers.

    They've had 7 or 8 backing musicians since the early 70s.

    But Keef plays his bits. An hour 32 mins into this. Soloing like a motherfúcker. Ronnie being sober now helps. He carries the band.



    And the rehearsals show it too. They actually sound quite bare when Keith and Ronnie don't play.

    I don't think I've ever seen a concert thread with so much hand-wringing and brow-mopping as this one.

    If the support act is rubbish - who cares?
    If it's not a sell-out - who cares?
    If some sections are closed off - who cares?
    If they roll Ed Sheeran out - who cares?

    None of this matters.

    Do people not just want to go along, see one of the greatest bands in music history, and maybe enjoy the gig? They could bring out Ed Sheeran or Eddie the Eagle Edwards for a duet for all I care.

    Yeesh

    Who cares? Maybe you don't but other people exist and they care.

    Yes it matters, for me and others if organizers decide that we the captive audience will partake in whatever tomfoolery they decide. I wouldn't cross the road to see the other fella

    I saw them 5 years ago and Keith was definitely playing his bits. Bum notes and all.

    You shouldn't be going to this gig. There's no way you're going to enjoy it.

    you paid for whatever show the Rolling Stones choose to give you.
    and if they choose to give you Ed Sheeran, then that's what you'll take.

    As long as an onstage guest doesn't alter the flow of the gig, or make it all about them, then I don't mind who takes the stage with the main band for a song, at any gig. But you will never please everyone. Bono sang "because the Night" with bruce in croker in 2016, I loved the bonus of having bono there, as I'm a U2 fan. He walked on, sang a verse and a few choruses and left. However some people as usual were "outraged" as they "just paid to see Bruce, not that boll0x bono".

    Anyone going to the UK gigs not received their tickets? I'm going to London Tuesday and haven't got them. It's ridiculous. Emailed AXS and nothing.

    Yeah, it's not worth getting upset about.
    It'll be only for one song.

    I'm with you to a degree in not been a fan of these silly crowd pleasing antics, but sure if Ed turns up it's the decision of the band and he won't hang around long sure.

    Clearly you've never ventured into the U2 thread...

    Actually, that's usually balanced. Just one or two throwing grenades and running

    The Stones are famous for bringing any old slag up onstage to play with them. Yer one from the Corrs sang Wild Horses with them in 03. No need whatsoever.

    I hope they bring Brendan Kilkenny up on stage. His talents need to be recognised.
