Accepting nominations.

You have to have sat thru every last second of your nomination. What good is it, if you didn't suffer?

Just to show that I've "suffered" my nominee is "The Mortuary." It's so bad I don't even remember who was in it.

mako887: Will slept through count? I mean some movies are so bad that you fall asleep during them only to wake up after the pain is gone.

Rainbow Days: welllllllllllllll you know the horrible, really shady police Office who is married, to the women who used to be married to the hunky ranger guy lol

whatdidyousay: I think for this to count you've got to be awake. Sleeping thru it is taking the wasy way out.

mako887: how about 'leningrad cowboys go America', probably the worst movie i've seen or xxx2 but i couldnt face more than ten minutes of that

grant: I couldn't even find that one in my movie book.

Rainbow Days: ahha, the one that was the first to marry the women, who is now married to that shady police officer?? lmao

Rainbow Days: ok yes, thats right the first one to become an alien. Well in the last episode, the hunky rangers wife was shot, and the shady police officer took her to the sea, it showed her in his arms, the the ranger and the shady police officers wife turned up at the beach, and the last clip was showing the officer with nothing in his arms.............then it ended

Rainbow Days: I know, where did u read that they werent showing another series?

Rainbow Days: ah right, and can u remnd me why it isnt coming back

Rainbow Days: Abit selfish, dont you think lol

mako887: it was a finish film so probably won't be in your book i wouldn't seek it out, but its listed on the internet movie database (imdb.com) if you really want to find it :)

Tonight is the premier series of THE NIGHT STALKER

MONK goes blind..very interesting

Has anyone seen it yet? I loved it so much, I loved the ending

On a given American radio talk show a couple of callers called in to say that no way did they want any more of their tax $$$ going to help the people still stranded and rendered homeless by Hurricane Katrina! That they deserved what they got because of who the voted into power in that state....blah, blah, blah, and get me a bucket to throw up in! What kind of an attitude do these callers have anyway? A year has passed and it is estimated that 500,000 individuals remain homeless as a result of the disaster a year ago. And some areas there are a real mess! I would like to know if something is being misunderstood or if these callers are expressing racism in a passive way. But I can't get these callers out of my mind and they disgust me infinitely. I would appreciate positive feedback as I realise that I am a Canadian. Thanks in advance!

Gentlegiant101: I did not hear or read any thing like this. But, I have heard similar comments before. Those types of people anger me. You help people in need! Regardless of who is in power!

The people there knew the danger and risk. They knew what would happen when a major hurricane hit. In california, the people know the risks from earthquakes. In the midwest, the people know the risks form tornadoes...

These people chose to live there...

Does that mean, "They deserve it and we shouldn't help them"? Absolutely not! A society can be graded on how well it helps it citizens in times of need. WE HELP THOSE IN NEED! PERIOD!

Those that say we shouldn't (for what ever reason) are TWO FACED! They will be begging for help if they were struck by some natural disaster!

Summertop:Right on, friend!

Remember when we were talking about this subject! Well they said they would release the answers a couple of weeks after they released the picture, and now after a couple of months - they are going to release the answers on Monday, Sept 11th.

So if you missed it before - check this out: https://www.lovefilm.com/desktop.php

There are 100 film titles hidden in there. I think I was up to 80 something (i'm too lazy to search back). But for those wanting to see what they can find in the next few days - now is your chance. Answers will be out Monday!

The answers are there - very interesting since some items I just figured were there are actuall clues also - then some film titles I never heard of before.

I won't post the answers here in case someone wants to go look first.

If I can ask, is this board only for americans? I have no idea about what are You saying.

Chaosu: The board is English, but I don't think it is just for "Americans"

What do you have questions about?

The 100 film titles hidden in picture - that is a desktop picture that a site made which hidden 100 film titles in it, which was talked about on this board a couple of months ago - and just released the answers.

The UPCOMING PREMIERES topic is for us TV views in America (and Canada) - not sure if some of the same shows air anywhere else or not.

I understand 100 movies wallpaper/desktop but most of previous posts were (spam) about upcoming blablabla. After i readed forum title and description i was suprised that ppls are announcing upcoming blablabla while it is for discussions about movies/tv/radio...

I am from Poland, i can download these shows as soon as they will displayed (1-2days later) with polish subtitles but well, thats not the way as it should be, and scrolling page down gives me no hope for discussion about something (last five posts maybe but they were really long).

Chaosu: Well general discussion can be pretty wide.

But speaking of TV shows, does anyone watch Meerkat Manor on Animal Planet? I started to watch the reruns, and even though it is something that I would not think I would be interested in at all - it is very good. It's a reality show that follows the lives of a Meerkat family - but unlike "people" reality shows, they don't play to the cameras - the cameras have been studing the meerkats for over 10 years, so they just ignore the cameras and do their normal stuff.

Anyway, season 2 starts Sept 29th. (repeats of season 1 still playing)

http://animal.discovery.com/fansites/meerkat/meerkat.html

BIG BAD WOLF: I watched it last night for the first time. Very interesting isn't it?

Also caught Studio 60 on Sunset Strip. Might actually be an interesting good new show for a change

Does anyone besides me watch it? It's on tonight. It's OK but not great.

Skyking: I watch it - I kind of like it. Kind of "cheesy" at times - would have been a great TV show in the 90's - But I've seen all the episodes and I like it! (Do they still have new shows? I was thinking last week was the last new show - maybe it was this week, or maybe I'm confusing it with another show I'm watching)

BIG BAD WOLF: Didn't hear that. Did they go through a season already?

Skyking: It is only a summer show, and with all the new "network" shows starting, it should be ending soon.

... goes and looks at Sci-Fi website.

http://www.scifi.com/eureka/

OK, there is a new episode tonight (Episode #9) - it's the last one on the list, so either this is the last one of the season, or they don't have the newer ones listed yet.

Oh, I forgot that they have webasodes on the website - will have to watch those later tonight.

BIG BAD WOLF: Opps - Looks like October 3rd is the last Episode, so 3 new episodes (inlcluding tonights).

Also on Oct 3rd, they will be showing a marathon of all season 1 shows before the last show of the season.

Someone advertised the new season of this

Is it possible to get polls on this discussion board? Example: Would you recommend xxxxxx movie?

Yes
No
Depends

rednaz23: Yes, thats a very good idea.

Gossip programming has stated that another country will be following Spain's initiative to keep excessively thin models off of the fashion runways. I'm glad to hear this. If enough fashion designers, etc. took this initiative there would be a major drop in cases of Anorexia and Bulimia I believe. Either way being super thin ain't COOL if one has a lousy personality!
Next stop? Hopefully those ads that promise that upon aging one will look oh so young if they use their products to eliminate those lines and wrinkles. I'm not so sure that ALL those youthful women are actually in there late forties! And what is wrong with fine lines and wrinkles anyway?...or should self esteem and self worth diminish with age? This last question sounds like an illegal act of elder abuse through speach...."mustn't look like THEM for God's sake!"

Jennifer Baichwal’s Landscapes
Angela Baldassarre

Recently, internationally renowned Canadian artist Edward Burtynsky traveled through China photographing the evidence and effects of that country’s massive industrial revolution. The Three Gorges Dam, factory floors a kilometre long and the breathtaking scale of Shanghai’s urban renewal were subjects for his lens. Following right behind him was Montreal-born documentary filmmaker Jennifer Baichwal and her motion picture camera. The result is the stunning “Manufactured Landscapes.”

One of my personal favourite Canadian directors, Baichwal garnered international attention with her first feature film, “Let It Come Down: The Life of Paul Bowles,” which won an Emmy in 1999, followed by “The Holier it Gets,” a movie she shot about traveling to the Ganges river with her father’s ashes. She also profiled Appalachian photographer Shelby Lee Adams in the documentary “The True Meaning of Pictures,” which won a Gemini Award in 2003.

I talked to Jennifer Baichwal about “Manufactured Landscapes.”

How did this project come about?

“Daniel Iron, a friend and colleague I have worked with since ‘Let it Come Down,” told me Jeff Powis had been following Edward Burtynsky around for five years with a Mini DV camcorder, and Jeff asked Daniel if he knew someone who could shape the material into a film. I had been following Ed’s work for about 10 years, but after I went through about 80 hours of the footage I realized that although I could include some of the shot material, I would have to film myself if we were going to make a documentary about Ed’s work. About four months later we were in China for three weeks, witnessing that country’s massive industrial revolution and recording Ed making photographs about it.”

You already did a documentary about a photographer, Shelby Lee Adams. How would this differ?

“The Shelby film was very much a philosophical investigation into issues of representation in documentary photography (and by extension, documentary film). I could have done the same thing here, but I didn’t want to. What compelled me about Ed’s photographs is that they are intentionally ambiguous — you are drawn to the way the image is presented and then realize you are looking at garbage or a scarred landscape. And that ambiguity is fruitful because the photographs are not didactic — they shift consciousness indirectly.”

How do you manage to convey the beauty of photography through your films?

“I spent a lot of time talking with Peter Mettler, my cinematographer and collaborator, about how to best represent the photographs in the film. It isn’t easy representing one medium in another and I wanted to recreate the visceral experience of your eye moving across a photograph — starting with the wide view, then moving in closer to see myriad details. We also wanted to represent in time the scale you see recorded in the photographs: hence the opening dolly shot of a factory floor, which goes on for some time.”

“What was the most complicated aspect of working with Burtynsky during the making of this film?

“There are all kinds of technical difficulties involved with representing photographs in film — making sure the colour is right, image stability on motion, sequencing, etc. That was complicated. But shooting in China was also difficult — it is still a closed place and we had to constantly negotiate wherever we were trying to film. It was particularly difficult to talk to people — whenever we tried to interview someone, our handlers became agitated.”

What impressed you the most about China?

“China is an extraordinary country. The push to become the manufacturers of the world has obviously enriched the economy but at great environmental cost. It was important to me to have China as an archetype here, and to express in the film all our implication in this industrial revolution — we are fuelling it every time we buy something or throw something away. So to witness these places that we are all responsible for yet never get to see was important to me.”

What was the most difficult part about making this film?

“All films are a challenge to make.”

What, if anything, did you learn from making “Manufactured Landscapes”?

“I can no longer engage in unconscious acts of consumption and waste. I can’t buy something without looking to see where it is made, and I can’t throw something away without thinking of the recycling yard, halfway across the world, that thing is going to end up in.”

What are you working on next?

“A film called ‘Act of God,’ which is about the metaphysical effects of being struck by lightning.”

“Manufactured Landscapes” opens in local theatres on September 29.

rednaz23: I wouldn't recommend it and I'm a guy! The first major reason is that they are WORSE than the internet itself in as much that there are more lies about women in these films than to be found on the Internet itself (and we are not to believe everything on the net!) Many people use that line to avoid dealing with legitimate info about subjects that make them uncomfortable and are sometimes abusive as a consequence. Such can be dealt with at a more appropiate time. For now it is suffice to say that Pornography is riddled with lies about women and defining them as "male oriented" in as much as what gets them excited is concerned! Pornography also ignores the personhood of women by not encouraging interest in there life's history and how it has affected them, or in their personal aspirations or in their real inherant beauty!
The beauty portrayed of woman in pornography is based on the physical aspect alone with the help of cylicone for the breasts and who knows how varied a number of wigs to make them appear sexy. They thus are nothing more than "sex objects" which is demeaning to the average woman and to myself...having been treated as a "sex object" and sexually harrassed by an authority figure who was to supervise me in my volunteer work which I consequently had to quit because I couldn't hack hearing the voice of the authority figure. I made a complaint against him and got him demoted...yes him!
In closing it is important to remind you that these are family oriented boards used by minors as well as adults, by Born Again Christians as well as atheists and all others in between.It is also imperative to remind you that this site is a multi cultural one which suggests a variety of different value systems worldwide on the topic of pornography, let alone that it may be illegal in some countries....especially in the area of being viewed by minors! So I am against this idea 200%

Gentlegiant101: I think that when "xxxxxx" was used, it was not in the context of a porno movie but rather as a fill in the blank title. Obviously the previous would be off limits here

In late May 2004, Gretchen Wilson's debut single "Redneck Woman" became the first by a solo female singer to top the Billboard country singles chart in over two years; it also reached number one faster than any single in the previous decade. At the same time, her debut album, Here for the Party, entered the country album chart at number one and the pop album chart at number two with sales of 227,000 copies, the biggest opening week for a new country artist on record. Given the overtly country style of her music at a time when much country had been leaning toward pop, Wilson was immediately hailed as the latest in a long line of country artists leading the music back to its roots.
Her own roots went back to the tiny town of Pocahontas, IL (36 miles east of St. Louis, MO), where she began singing as a child. Her mother was 16 when she was born on June 26, 1973; her father left when she was two. She grew up poor, living in a succession of trailer parks. She went to school only through the eighth grade, and at 14 was working as a cook and bartender in the same club where her mother worked. By the age of 20, she was singing in two different bands in the area. She moved to Nashville in 1996 and tended bar while singing on demos and in clubs for the next seven years. During this period, she became part of an informal group of singers and songwriters known as the Muzik Mafia that met once a week to try out new material. She and John Rich, another member of the group (and a former member of Lonestar), wrote "Redneck Woman," an autobiographical song in which she unabashedly celebrated her redneck, white-trash background.

In 2003, she auditioned for and was signed by Epic Records. "Redneck Woman" was released in the late winter of 2004 and immediately began its march up the charts. Here for the Party, originally scheduled for release in July, was moved up to May 11 because of the quick success of the single. As it, too, became a hit, Wilson agreed to opening spots on tours with Brooks & Dunn and Montgomery Gentry in the summer of 2004. All Jacked Up, her followup to Here for the Party, appeared in September 2005 and hit the top of the Billboard charts. ~ William Ruhlmann, All Music Guide

Alanis Morissette was one of the most unlikely stars of the mid-'90s. A former child actress turned dance-pop diva, Morissette transformed herself into a confessional alternative singer/songwriter, in the vein of Liz Phair and Tori Amos. However, she added enough pop sensibility, slight hip-hop flourishes, and marketing savvy to that formula to become a superstar with her third album, Jagged Little Pill.
Morissette was born and raised in Ottawa, Canada. In her childhood, she began playing piano and writing songs. At the age of ten, she joined the cast of You Can't Do That on Television, a children's television program. Using money that she earned on the show, Morissette recorded an independent single, "Fate Stay With Me," which was released when she was ten. After leaving the show, she concentrated on a musical career, signing a music publishing contract when she was 14. The publishing contract led to a record deal with MCA Canada. In 1991, she moved to Toronto and released her debut album, Alanis.

Alanis was a collection of pop-oriented dance numbers and ballads that was successful in Canada, selling over 100,000 copies, and leading to a Juno Award for Most Promising Female Artist. However, no other country paid any attention to the record. In 1992, she released Now Is the Time, an album that closely resembled her debut. Like its predecessor, it was a success in Canada, even if it sold half of what Alanis did. Following the release of Now Is the Time, Morissette relocated to Los Angeles, where she met Glen Ballard in early 1994. Ballard had previously written Michael Jackson's hit "Man in the Mirror," produced Wilson Phillips' hit debut album, and worked with David Hasselhoff. Despite the duo's mainstream pop pedigree, they decided to pursue an edgier, alternative rock-oriented direction. The result was Jagged Little Pill, which was released on Maverick Records, Madonna's label.

On the strength of the single "You Oughta Know," Jagged Little Pill gained attention upon its release in the summer of 1995. Soon, the single received heavy airplay from both alternative radio and MTV, sending the album into the Top Ten and multi-platinum status. The second and third singles from Jagged Little Pill, "Hand in My Pocket" and "All I Really Want," kept the album in the Top Ten. In early 1996, she was nominated for six Grammys. Shortly after the nominations, Morissette released her fourth single, "Ironic," which proved to be her biggest crossover success. Morissette won several Grammy awards in 1996, including Album of the Year and Song of the Year.

Her much-anticipated follow-up, Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie, was released in the autumn of 1998. An Unplugged set appeared a year later, and in 2002 Morissette released Under Rug Swept. So-Called Chaos followed in 2004, and a year later she took Jagged Little Pill on the road as an acoustic tour. That tour became Jagged Little Pill Acoustic, an album originally -- and tellingly -- sold exclusively through Starbucks outlets. Morissette and her fans had grown up. Collection, an 18-track retrospective of her work, followed in November 2005. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide

By the time the Rolling Stones began calling themselves the World's Greatest Rock & Roll Band in the late '60s, they had already staked out an impressive claim on the title. As the self-consciously dangerous alternative to the bouncy Merseybeat of the Beatles in the British Invasion, the Stones had pioneered the gritty, hard-driving blues-based rock & roll that came to define hard rock. With his preening machismo and latent maliciousness, Mick Jagger became the prototypical rock frontman, tempering his macho showmanship with a detached, campy irony while Keith Richards and Brian Jones wrote the blueprint for sinewy, interlocking rhythm guitars. Backed by the strong yet subtly swinging rhythm section of bassist Bill Wyman and drummer Charlie Watts, the Stones became the breakout band of the British blues scene, eclipsing such contemporaries as the Animals and Them. Over the course of their career, the Stones never really abandoned blues, but as soon as they reached popularity in the U.K., they began experimenting musically, incorporating the British pop of contemporaries like the Beatles, Kinks, and Who into their sound. After a brief dalliance with psychedelia, the Stones re-emerged in the late '60s as a jaded, blues-soaked hard rock quintet. The Stones always flirted with the seedy side of rock & roll, but as the hippie dream began to break apart, they exposed and reveled in the new rock culture. It wasn't without difficulty, of course. Shortly after he was fired from the group, Jones was found dead in a swimming pool, while at a 1969 free concert at Altamont, a concertgoer was brutally killed during the Stones' show. But the Stones never stopped going. For the next 30 years, they continued to record and perform, and while their records weren't always blockbusters, they were never less than the most visible band of their era -- certainly, none of their British peers continued to be as popular or productive as the Stones. And no band since has proven to have such a broad fan base or far-reaching popularity, and it is impossible to hear any of the groups that followed them without detecting some sort of influence, whether it was musical or aesthetic.
Throughout their career, Mick Jagger (vocals) and Keith Richards (guitar, vocals) remained at the core of the Rolling Stones. The pair initially met as children at Dartford Maypole County Primary School. They drifted apart over the next ten years, eventually making each other's acquaintance again in 1960, when they met through a mutual friend, Dick Taylor, who was attending Sidcup Art School with Richards. At the time, Jagger was studying at the London School of Economics and playing with Taylor in the blues band Little Boy Blue and the Blue Boys. Shortly afterward, Richards joined the band. Within a year, they had met Brian Jones (guitar, vocals), a Cheltenham native who had dropped out of school to play saxophone and clarinet. By the time he became a fixture on the British blues scene, Jones had already had a wild life. He ran away to Scandinavia when he was 16; by that time, he had already fathered two illegitimate children. He returned to Cheltenham after a few months, where he began playing with the Ramrods. Shortly afterward, he moved to London, where he played in Alexis Korner's group, Blues Inc. Jones quickly decided he wanted to form his own group and advertised for members; among those he recruited was the heavyset blues pianist Ian Stewart.

As he played with his group, Jones also moonlighted under the name Elmo Jones at the Ealing Blues Club. At the pub, he became reacquainted with Blues, Inc., which now featured drummer Charlie Watts, and, on occasion, cameos by Jagger and Richards. Jones became friends with Jagger and Richards, and they soon began playing together with Taylor and Stewart; during this time, Mick was elevated to the status of Blues, Inc.'s lead singer. With the assistance of drummer Tony Chapman, the fledgling band recorded a demo tape. After the tape was rejected by EMI, Taylor left the band to attend the Royal College of Art; he would later form the Pretty Things. Before Taylor's departure, the group named itself the Rolling Stones, borrowing the moniker from a Muddy Waters song.

The Rolling Stones gave their first performance at the Marquee Club in London on July 12, 1962. At the time, the group consisted of Jagger, Richards, Jones, pianist Ian Stewart, drummer Mick Avory, and Dick Taylor, who had briefly returned to the fold. Weeks after the concert, Taylor left again and was replaced by Bill Wyman, formerly of the Cliftons. Avory also left the group -- he would later join the Kinks -- and the Stones hired Tony Chapman, who proved to be unsatisfactory. After a few months of persuasion, the band recruited Charlie Watts, who had quit Blues, Inc. to work at an advertising agency once the group's schedule became too hectic. By 1963, the band's lineup had been set, and the Stones began an eight-month residency at the Crawdaddy Club, which proved to substantially increase their fan base. It also attracted the attention of Andrew Loog Oldham, who became the Stones' manager, signing them from underneath Crawdaddy's Giorgio Gomelsky. Although Oldham didn't know much about music, he was gifted at promotion, and he latched upon the idea of fashioning the Stones as the bad-boy opposition to the clean-cut Beatles. At his insistence, the large yet meek Stewart was forced out of the group, since his appearance contrasted with the rest of the group. Stewart didn't disappear from the Stones; he became one of their key roadies and played on their albums and tours until his death in 1985.

With Oldham's help, the Rolling Stones signed with Decca Records, and that June, they released their debut single, a cover of Chuck Berry's "Come On." The single became a minor hit, reaching number 21, and the group supported it with appearances on festivals and package tours. At the end of the year, they released a version of Lennon-McCartney's "I Wanna Be Your Man" that soared into the Top 15. Early in 1964, they released a cover of Buddy Holly's "Not Fade Away," which shot to number three. "Not Fade Away" became their first American hit, reaching number 48 that spring. By that time, the Stones were notorious in their homeland. Considerably rougher and sexier than the Beatles, the Stones were the subject of numerous sensationalistic articles in the British press, culminating in a story about the band urinating in public. All of these stories cemented the Stones as a dangerous, rebellious band in the minds of the public, and had the effect of beginning a manufactured rivalry between them and the Beatles, which helped the group rocket to popularity in the U.S. In the spring of 1964, the Stones released their eponymous debut album, which was followed by "It's All Over Now," their first U.K. number one. That summer, they toured America to riotous crowds, recording the Five by Five EP at Chess Records in Chicago in the midst of the tour. By the time it was over, they had another number one U.K. single with Howlin' Wolf's "Little Red Rooster." Although the Stones had achieved massive popularity, Oldham decided to push Jagger and Richards into composing their own songs, since they -- and his publishing company -- would receive more money that away. In June of 1964, the group released their first original single, "Tell Me (You're Coming Back)," which became their first American Top 40 hit. Shortly afterward, a version of Irma Thomas' "Time Is on My Side" became their first U.S. Top Ten. It was followed by "The Last Time" in early 1965, a number one U.K. and Top Ten U.S. hit that began a virtually uninterrupted string of Jagger-Richards hit singles. Still, it wasn't until the group released "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" in the summer of 1965 that they were elevated to superstars. Driven by a fuzz-guitar riff designed to replicate the sound of a horn section, "Satisfaction" signaled that Jagger and Richards had come into their own as songwriters, breaking away from their blues roots and developing a signature style of big, bluesy riffs and wry, sardonic lyrics. It stayed at number one for four weeks and began a string of Top Ten singles that ran for the next two years, including such classics as "Get off My Cloud," "19th Nervous Breakdown," "As Tears Go By," and "Have You Seen Your Mother, Baby, Standing in the Shadow?"

By 1966, the Stones had decided to respond to the Beatles' increasingly complex albums with their first album of all-original material, Aftermath. Due to Brian Jones' increasingly exotic musical tastes, the record boasted a wide range of influences, from the sitar-drenched "Paint It, Black" to the Eastern drones of "I'm Going Home." These eclectic influences continued to blossom on Between the Buttons (1967), the most pop-oriented album the group ever made. Ironically, the album's release was bookended by two of the most notorious incidents in the band's history. Before the record was released, the Stones performed the suggestive "Let's Spend the Night Together," the B-side to the medieval ballad "Ruby Tuesday," on The Ed Sullivan Show, which forced Jagger to alter the song's title to an incomprehensible mumble, or else face being banned. In February of 1967, Jagger and Richards were arrested for drug possession, and within three months, Jones was arrested on the same charge. All three were given suspended jail sentences, and the group backed away from the spotlight as the summer of love kicked into gear in 1967. Jagger, along with his then-girlfriend Marianne Faithfull, went with the Beatles to meet the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi; they were also prominent in the international broadcast of the Beatles' "All You Need Is Love." Appropriately, the Stones' next single, "Dandelion"/"We Love You," was a psychedelic pop effort, and it was followed by their response to Sgt. Pepper, Their Satanic Majesties Request, which was greeted with lukewarm reviews.

The Stones' infatuation with psychedelia was brief. By early 1968, they had fired Andrew Loog Oldham and hired Allen Klein as their manager. The move coincided with their return to driving rock & roll, which happened to coincide with Richards' discovery of open tunings, a move that gave the Stones their distinctively fat, powerful sound. The revitalized Stones were showcased on the malevolent single "Jumpin' Jack Flash," which climbed to number three in May 1968. Their next album, Beggar's Banquet, was finally released in the fall, after being delayed for five months due its controversial cover art of a dirty, graffiti-laden restroom. An edgy record filled with detours into straight blues and campy country, Beggar's Banquet was hailed as a masterpiece among the fledgling rock press. Although it was seen as a return to form, few realized that while it opened a new chapter of the Stones' history, it also was the closing of their time with Brian Jones. Throughout the recording of Beggar's Banquet, Jones was on the sidelines due to his deepening drug addiction and his resentment of the dominance of Jagger and Richards. Jones left the band on June 9, 1969, claiming to be suffering from artistic differences between himself and the rest of the band. On July 3, 1969 -- less than a month after his departure -- Jones was found dead in his swimming pool. The coroner ruled that it was "death by misadventure," yet his passing was the subject of countless rumors over the next two years.

By the time of his death, the Stones had already replaced Brian Jones with Mick Taylor, a former guitarist for John Mayall's Bluesbreakers. He wasn't featured on "Honky Tonk Women," a number one single released days after Jones' funeral, and he contributed only a handful of leads on their next album, Let It Bleed. Released in the fall of 1969, Let It Bleed was comprised of sessions with Jones and Taylor, yet it continued the direction of Beggar's Banquet, signaling that a new era in the Stones' career had begun, one marked by ragged music and an increasingly wasted sensibility. Following Jagger's filming of Ned Kelly in Australia during the first part of 1969, the group launched its first American tour in three years. Throughout the tour -- the first where they were billed as the World's Greatest Rock & Roll Band -- the group broke attendance records, but it was given a sour note when the group staged a free concert at Altamont Speedway. On the advice of the Grateful Dead, the Stones hired Hell's Angels as security, but that plan backfired tragically. The entire show was unorganized and in shambles, yet it turned tragic when the Angels killed a young black man, Meredith Hunter, during the Stones' performance. In the wake of the public outcry, the Stones again retreated from the spotlight and dropped "Sympathy for the Devil," which some critics ignorantly claimed incited the violence, from their set.

As the group entered hiatus, they released the live Get Yer Ya-Ya's Out! in the fall of 1970. It was their last album for Decca/London, and they formed Rolling Stones Records, which became a subsidiary of Atlantic Records. During 1970, Jagger starred in Nicolas Roeg's cult film Performance and married Nicaraguan model Bianca Perez Morena de Macias, and the couple quickly entered high society. As Jagger was jet-setting, Richards was slumming, hanging out with country-rock pioneer Gram Parsons. Keith wound up having more musical influence on 1971's Sticky Fingers, the first album the Stones released though their new label. Following its release, the band retreated to France on tax exile, where they shared a house and recorded a double album, Exile on Main St. Upon its May 1972 release, Exile on Main St. was widely panned, but over time it came to be considered one of the group's defining moments.

Following Exile, the Stones began to splinter in two, as Jagger concentrated on being a celebrity and Richards sank into drug addiction. The band remained popular throughout the '70s, but their critical support waned. Goats Head Soup, released in 1973, reached number one, as did 1974's It's Only Rock 'n' Roll, but neither record was particularly well received. Taylor left the band after It's Only Rock 'n' Roll, and the group recorded their next album as they auditioned new lead guitarists, including Jeff Beck. They finally settled on Ron Wood, former lead guitarist for the Faces and Rod Stewart, in 1976, the same year they released Black n' Blue, which only featured Wood on a handful of cuts. During the mid- and late '70s, all the Stones pursued side projects, with both Wyman and Wood releasing solo albums with regularity. Richards was arrested in Canada in 1977 with his common-law wife Anita Pallenberg for heroin possession. After his arrest, he cleaned up and was given a suspended sentence the following year. The band reconvened in 1978 to record Some Girls, an energetic response to punk, new wave, and disco. The record and its first single, the thumping disco-rocker "Miss You," both reached number one, and the album restored the group's image. However, the group squandered that goodwill with the follow-up, Emotional Rescue, a number one record that nevertheless received lukewarm reviews upon its 1980 release. Tattoo You, released the following year, fared better both critically and commercially, as the singles "Start Me Up" and "Waiting on a Friend" helped the album spend nine weeks at number one. The Stones supported Tattoo You with an extensive stadium tour captured in Hal Ashby's movie Let's Spend the Night Together and the 1982 live album Still Life.

Tattoo You proved to be the last time the Stones completely dominated the charts and the stadiums. Although the group continued to sell out concerts in the '80s and '90s, their records didn't sell as well as previous efforts, partially because the albums suffered due to Jagger and Richards' notorious mid-'80s feud. Starting with 1983's Undercover, the duo conflicted about which way the band should go, with Jagger wanting the Stones to follow contemporary trends and Richards wanting them to stay true to their rock roots. As a result, Undercover was a mean-spirited, unfocused record that received relatively weak sales and mixed reviews. Released in 1986, Dirty Work suffered a worse fate, since Jagger was preoccupied with his fledgling solo career. Once Jagger decided that the Stones would not support Dirty Work with a tour, Richards decided to make his own solo record with 1988's Talk Is Cheap. Appearing a year after Jagger's failed second solo album, Talk Is Cheap received good reviews and went gold, prompting Jagger and Richards to reunite late in 1988. The following year, the Stones released Steel Wheels, which was received with good reviews, but the record was overshadowed by its supporting tour, which grossed over 140 million dollars and broke many box office records. In 1991, the live album Flashpoint, which was culled from the Steel Wheels shows, was released.

Following the release of Flashpoint, Bill Wyman left the band; he published a memoir, Stone Alone, within a few years of leaving. The Stones didn't immediately replace Wyman, since they were all working on solo projects; this time, there was none of the animosity surrounding their mid-'80s projects. The group reconvened in 1994 with bassist Darryl Jones, who had previously played with Miles Davis and Sting, to record and release the Don Was-produced Voodoo Lounge. The album received the band's strongest reviews in years, and its accompanying tour was even more successful than the Steel Wheels tour. On top of being more successful than its predecessor, Voodoo Lounge also won the Stones their first Grammy for Best Rock Album. Upon the completion of the Voodoo Lounge tour, the Stones released the live, "unplugged" album Stripped in the fall of 1995. Similarly, after wrapping up their tour in support of 1997's Bridges to Babylon, the group issued yet another live set, No Security, the following year. A high-profile greatest-hits tour in 2002 was launched despite the lack of a studio album to support, and its album document Live Licks appeared in 2004. A year later, the group issued A Bigger Bang, their third effort with producer Don Was. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide
