Jagger is apparently unhappy about Richard’s tell all autobiography because it contains revelations of Mick’s private life including his affairs and drug taking. It has been suggested that because of constant rows between Mick and Keith the bands touring days may finally be over.

Sir Mick has said, ‘It will be interesting. I would have thought that you’d actually have to be able to remember your life in order to write about it.’

Keith has accused his bandmate of being ‘vain’ and a ‘power freak’,  and added, ‘Mick’s a maniac. He can’t get up in the morning without knowing immediately who he’s going to call.
‘Meanwhile, I just go “Thank God I’m awake” and wait for three or four hours before I do anything.’

Keith Richards has been asked to ‘tone down’  his forthcoming autobiography. The book titled Life is due for release in October and is expected to lift the lid on Keef’s rock star life.

The band’s management have expressed concern that parts of the book are too revealing including some parts about the band’s frontman Mick Jagger.

Apparently Keith was having trouble remembering things when he first started writing but his memory has served him well and it’s predicted the book will be explosive when it is released.

Keith started writing his memoirs for publishers Little, Brown and Company three years ago.

Fellow guitarist/ weaver Ronnie Wood released his autobiography in 2007 and Jagger has yet to write his book.

Ronnie, who has been sober since January says that Ana is having  a positive influence on his life and they spend a lot of time doing the simple things, like staying in, watching movies and making meals.

Ana has helped him stay sober and has high hopes that marriage is on the cards

If you’re a Stones fan and you live within a hundred k’s of the Gold Coast come and party with us, love to see you their.

We all did a 30 minute set in 4 hour concert, and as far as I know there was a good crowd and the show raised around $5,000 to donate.

It was good of all the bands to contribute and a good cause.

It’s funny because it reminded me of the type of places we played in when we were young teenagers, eager to play anywhere willing to put us on, even for as I remember the deal at one place was, we each got a hamberger, chips and a drink at the end of the night, that wa our payment.

Anyway as soon as we cranked up most of George’s guests (the birthday boy) ran for cover outside as the sound was bouncing off the walls and wooden floor.

Anyway we had fun doing the job and got in some live practice.

Brothers Sports Club at Bundy was a reasonable sized venue, good stage,  good lighting and a very receptive crowd of about 200.

The show went without a hitch and a good time was had by all.

The Stardust room, being an international venue is beautifully laid out, holds about 1,500 people and best of all has a huge stage that I’m sure was built with Mick Jagger in mind.

P.J. gave us a great front of house sound and the on stage mix was excellent, the lighting and smoke machine made the show complete.

With an audience of around 600 enjoying the night we were stoked with the outcome and look forward to going back to Seagull’s in the future.

Seeing big posters of other bands advertising their up coming shows there made me even more determined.

And then, finally, eighteen months later, here I am  standing in front of a huge poster of
The Rolling Stones Experience, and thinking, “Yep, we made it, let’s Rock n’ Roll !!”.

We got around 350 to 400 people on the night, we had a great time and so did the crowd,
We’re looking forward to going back later in the year.

just north of Brisbane is one  of those venues that a band can use as a bench mark.

Good or bad the word will get around the industry, if you packed the place

out and had a great night, or, not many people showed up and you bombed, you

have to live with it.

We had a very good crowd on the night, the show went well and were informed

we would be invited back in the future.
