i don't believe it. i think it's total BS.

anyone care to prove me wrong and provide a true source?

I tend to think so as well.  Why would they try that at this point?  They are a special band.  They put on the biggest show around.  And they give the fans the occasional break... last month they released a bunch of tickets within the first 10 rows of their show in Regina, Saskatchewan... all for $100 ea.  That is an incredible deal... and that tells me that they want to give a break to the casual Joe Blow who wants to see them up close without paying an arm and a leg through scalpers.  I think they respect their fans and a move like hiring paid actors doesn't add up...

My third favorite band, I love all their music.  I have a thing for Bitch right now for some reason.

[Eazy E]

Ok, these lists are way too long.... ?I'll limit myself to the 3 that I've probably enjoyed the most over the years:

Gimme Shelter - I had to be told several times by a friend how great this song was before I really started listening to it; probably my favourite now.

Can't You Hear Me Knocking - Long, but great

Love Is Strong - It may seem like a strange choice, but this was the first Rolling Stones song I ever heard, ?I guess I was about 9 at the time.

An honorable mention goes to Miss You. ?I've just recently started to check out a lot more full albums by the Stones instead of just singles and hits... and I'm loving every second of it. ?

One Hit to the Body
Heartbreaker

Love Is Strong - It may seem like a strange choice, but this was the first Rolling Stones song I ever heard,  I guess I was about 9 at the time.

Thats one of their best songs.

[BA]

anything on exile other than that.

[Lithium]

Honky Tonk Women
She's Like a Rainbow
Gimme Shelter
Shattered

[Eduardo]

The Rolling Stones are my favourite band, and Gimme Shleter is the best Rock n' Roll song ever, IMO

But I can't just name a bunch os fongs, you know. Preety much everything from Beggars Banquet to Tatoo You is great. Except maybe Black and Blue, which is a weak album, despite having two of my favourite songs: Memory Motel and Hand of Fate

[babydolls]

gimme shelter - goosebumps every time i hear that
paint it black
wild horses
mother's little helper
sympathy
