I.m a huge fan of the Stones, but i have a question!

Do people still buy 'new' rolling stones albums?

Aren't they dead?

But seriously.... Another George Bush protest album. SNORE!! Why doesn't somebody at the record company tell them that Radiohead, Grrenday and a whole shedload of other bands have already done that.

They'll be missed when they're gone.....

Still, it can't be worse than Jagger's stuff for the Alfie soundtrack can it?

Oooh, great, political protest from someone who accepted a knighthood from Blair. How edgy.

These guys are "a few" years too late for an anti-Bush album. How would this be considered relevent? The war is over. Bush is an idiot who has already acted. They should have spoke up before.

I guess you're right if you say this album will be relevent. Its just late. Very late.

The stones have been writing anti-war songs for a long time, so no, they're not too late - see 'blinded by rainbows' and 'highwire' for examples.

Jaggers tracks for the Alfie album were pretty good anyway especially Old Habits Die Hard, just my opinion though.

The new album will be great, i'm sure; a return to form after slightly dissapointing Bridges to Babylon. Voodoo Lounge was a fantastic album though, so it's worth buying if you're a fan of the older stuff.

Personally I think this is a good thing. Ageing white males with unimaginable wealth tend to be perceived as right wing and pro-establishment so perhaps Jagger etc feel the need to express that they are not.
