There's the stones and then there's everyone else period. Nobody is as great as they've been.

Asides Led Zeppelin!

Zep is definitely up there but still behind the Stones imo.

Zep is definitely up there but still behind the Stones imo.

The only band that could go toe to toe against Led Zep and the Stones were The Who.

?We are excited to be back in North America playing stadiums this summer!  We are looking forward to being back on stage and playing your favorite songs.? ? Mick Jagger

?We love being out on the road and it is great to come back to North America!  I can?t wait to get back on the stage!? ? Keith Richards

The Rolling Stones ZIP CODE tour will see Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Charlie Watts and Ronnie Wood head back out on the road after their critically-acclaimed 14 ON FIRE tour in Asia, Europe, Australia and New Zealand in 2014. The iconic band will treat their generations of fans to special one night only shows, with a set packed full of classic Stones hits such as ?Gimme Shelter?, ?Paint It Black?, ?Jumpin? Jack Flash?, ?Tumbling Dice? and ?It?s Only Rock ?N? Roll?, as well as special gems from their extraordinary catalogue.

The Rolling Stones ZIP CODE tour will be the first time the rock legends have played North American stadiums since 2005-2007?s A Bigger Bang Tour.

The stage design for the stadium shows includes a thrust that extends deep into the audience allowing the Stones to interact directly with their fans. Known for their ground-breaking sets and use of cutting-edge technology, the Stones? set design will feature video screens and special effects that will enhance the high-octane experience of attending a live Stones? show.

AEG Live?s Concerts West is the promoter of The Rolling Stones ZIP CODE tour.

The tour will also coincide with the Rolling Stones re-release of Sticky Fingers on May 26 in North America, and May 25 in the rest of the world, by Universal Music. Sticky Fingers, one of the most revered albums from the Rolling Stones, is set to enthrall a new generation of fans in 2015. The 1971 classic features timeless tracks such as ?Brown Sugar,? ?Wild Horses,? ?Bitch? and ?Dead Flowers?. Sticky Fingers 2015, with its iconic zip cover, will be unveiled in a variety of formats. The deluxe editions include a generous selection of previously unreleased Stones studio outtakes from the Sticky Fingers sessions and stunning live performances from that time. These sought after tracks have never been available until this release.

Recorded in Muscle Shoals, Alabama and Olympic Studios in London, and produced by regular confidant Jimmy Miller, Sticky Fingers was released just before the Stones became tax exiles in the south of France, leaving Britain after a sensational farewell tour. It also featured some of the most ground breaking design in rock history, with its famous working zip on the front cover and artwork by Andy Warhol.

Not nearly the treasure trove the other were though in terms of bonus tracks.

I thought the 'Exile' one was awesome.

Ronnie Wood Confirms Rolling Stones Working on New Album

The Rolling Stones' Ronnie Wood has confirmed that the rock legends, who just completed their historic trip to Cuba, are now focusing on the long-awaited follow-up to 2005's A Bigger Bang. In a new interview with The Associated Press, Wood revealed that the band recently spent a few days in the studio, where they recorded some new originals alongside nearly a dozen blues covers.

"We went in to cut some new songs, which we did," Wood said. "But we got on a blues streak. We cut 11 blues in two days. They are extremely great cover versions of Howlin' Wolf and Little Walter, among other blues people. But they really sound authentic? When we heard them back after not hearing them for a couple of months, we were, 'Who's that? It's you.' It sounded so authentic."

Wood added that the album would tentatively arrive "this year." Wood made the new album remarks in London at the group's "Exhibitionism" exhibit at the city's Saatchi Gallery. The event was also attended by Mick Jagger, Charlie Watts and Keith Richards, who wasn't as forthcoming as Wood when it came to new album details. "There's one coming," Richards admitted. "I can't say no more. My lips are sealed."

Can't complain about new stones tunes.

Well here it is!!
2020 New the Stones still kicking ass!

[tim_m]

I actually dig it. It was written last year and originally had darker lyrics, which they lightened in wake of recent events. Keith says they're using this time to work on more new songs they already had in progress.

[Dr. Blutarsky]

Pleasantly surprised with the new song. Like it, sounds like a Stones song should sound but not dated at the same time.
