Seriously? OMG! WTF?

WITH a combined age of 249, the Rolling Stones can be forgiven for taking life at a more leisurely pace than most.But in an unexpected foul-mouthed rant, guitarist Ronnie Wood has blasted his bandmates for being BORING.The youngest of the Stones at 59, Ronnie has hit out at Sir Mick Jagger, 63, Charlie Watts, 65, and 62-year-old Keith Richards for preferring to go to BED instead of partying."They can’t f***ing take it," the rocker growled at us."They always have to go home to rest. Instead they leave all the f***ing partying up to me."The guitarist’s outburst happened at the private VIP viewing of Ron’s artwork at his Scream gallery in Mayfair, London.And when asked why his bandmates weren’t there that evening to support him, Ronnie stormed: "They’re all probably in bed."Ron’s catty remark comes after the rest of the aging band members preferred to hit the sack than attend his all-night house party on Sunday night. The bash after the Stones’ storming Twickenham gig was so wild and raucous that police were called to get Ron to turn the music down at 4am. Although Ronnie’s been off the booze since his stint in rehab, we revealed how he’s found a new fix – inhaling laughing gas-filled balloons. Talking about his new chemical attraction, the old rocker joked: "I had a lot of fun with my balloons, I’ll certainly be doing them again."

3AM

When he hits his 60s like the rest of them he too will be home sleeping. 

Even after more than 40 years, Mick Jagger still has an enviable reputation as a party animal.But while his rock star lifestyle seems to have taken little toll on him, it appears the passing years have made more of a mark on some of his fans.Fearing the Rolling Stones’ British tour would attract hordes of gyrating pensioners, promoters cancelled a halfprice discount offer in association with Saga magazine last week.But their efforts seem to have been in vain. As the tour started last night, the men and women filing into Twickenham stadium in South-West London were more likely eligible for a free bus pass than a young person’s railcard.It was clear that the veteran rockers on stage might still favour spray-on jeans and spiky bouffant hairstyles, but the audience were more likely to opt for clean and pressed T-shirts or sweatshirts with the famous Rolling Stones logo.And forget drunken fights and queuebarging – these fans lined up in an orderly fashion to take their seats in the arena. As the concert started, it seemed unlikely that 63-year-old Sir Mick, whose band has a combined age of 249, would be doing any crowd-surfing.In any case, he has only just recovered from a bout of laryngitis, which forced the cancellation of two shows in Spain last week.Meanwhile, guitarist Keith Richards is still recovering from a head injury sustained falling out a tree in Fiji earlier this year. Young rock fans have spurned the biggest-grossing tour band of all time and the Stones have had trouble shifting tickets for the Bigger Bang tour this year. Perhaps impoverished youngsters have been put off by the prices – some seats cost as much as £195. Tickets are still available for the second Twickenham show tomorrow, as well as those in Cardiff and Glasgow.

I don’t know who feels older looking at those pictures the Rolling Stones or me? 

The Rolling Stones have been forced to cancel their Wednesday, August 16 concert in El Ejido (Spain) as singer Mick Jagger will be unable to perform due to laryngitis. The Rolling Stones "A Bigger Bang" World Tour will continue as scheduled with two shows at London’s Twickenham Stadium on August 20 and 22 followed by Glasgow, Sheffield, Cardiff then onto Norway and Denmark in September.

Yesterday the band announced that they would have to cancel a performance scheduled for last night in Valladolid (Spain) because Jagger is under doctor’s orders to rest his voice for a few days.

"I am very sorry to be cancelling this show as well," said Mick Jagger earlier today. "But unfortunately I have no other choice and I apologise to everyone who bought tickets for El Ejido."

All tickets will be refunded from point of purchase.

This tour is so jinxed

The Rolling Stones have enraged their support band Kasabian by insisting they should pay $280 (€217.40) each for a ticket if they want to watch them after their slot.Kasabian frontman Tom Meighan said: "It’s quite incredible. We’re f**king supporting them!"If we get kicked off the stage, we’ve got to buy a ticket, which is about 200 quid. "It’s probably Americans who are running it, not (Mick) Jagger. And (Keith) Richards isn’t going to know what’s f**king going on."

That American comment was not needed, I guess he is hates us because we do not know who they are!

The biggest Rock bands in the world really love Kanye West. He’s already opened for U2 and now the Rap superstar will open three shows for The Rolling Stones on the next leg of their Bigger Bang tour. Kanye will open for the Stones in Boston (9/20), Halifax, Nova Scotia (9/23) and East Rutherford, NJ (9/27).

Kanye West mixes with The Rolling Stones like oil and water. I mean seriously there are much better bands out there like Fall Out Boy and The Killers.
