1.0 out of 5 stars Don't waste your money, January 24, 2005

Stupidly, I bought this box set thinking that there must be something worthwhile for the Stones fan. I mean, five disks ought to contain something of some interest, right? Forget it. Buying this set was a major mistake. The interviews (apart from those with Mick Taylor and Anita Pallenburg) were amateurish; the footage was nothing to write home about; and, there was no Stones music whatsoever -just this irritating, bush-league, Keef-like riff (actually, there were two riffs, designed to sound like Honky Tonk Women and Brown Sugar) inserted at "opportune" moments (like when the band was playing). Forty clams down the drain. Hopefully, a used CD store will take it off my hands at a 75% haircut.

1.0 out of 5 stars NO MUSIC ???? Terrible, Terrible release, March 17, 2003

By A Customer

I can't believe how bad this set is. The entire 5 disc set doesn't contain a single note played or sung by the Rolling Stones. The set also claims to be seven hours and it is less than five.
Interviews with the Rolling Stones are few and far between and all come from secondary sources.
Most of the footage is reused in every disc and the most annoying thing is the CONSTANT STONES IMITATION BACKGROUND MUSIC THAT PLAYS THE ENTIRE TIME.
Many extremely boring and unessential interviews the only one of ANY consequence (barely) is Mick Taylor and he quit the band thrity years ago. All the others are former engineers, back up singers and LOTS and LOTS (and LOTS!) of interviews with biographers, and writers NO ONE HAS EVER HEARD OF!
I hate this kind of release, A complete waste of my time and money. AVOID AT ALL COSTS!
Bonus FOOTAGE are not actual Rolling Stones footage but more boring interviews with has beens trying to remember.

1.0 out of 5 stars Who Would Buy This?, April 24, 2003

By 

andy (Boston, MA) - See all my reviews

I was just about to buy this collection when a friend warned me off. I thought even though it was unathorized there would be some revelations - gossip even. But this is ... in the extreme. Nothing new here or original, and guess what - NO STONES MUSIC PERIOD. Who thought of producing a set on the greatest band in the world without the kick ... music included?? To make matters worse, some jerk thought it would be cool to get a guitar player to mimic Keef's classic riffs throughout - BAD IDEA. This box must have taken a day to throw together. Okay, so maybe getting hold of the guys would be tough, but why not get together some of the bands who have fallen under the spell of the Stones - GnR's, Aerosmith, Nugent, to name a few. Save your money and buy the recent remasters . If my friend hadn't warned be off, I'd be real ... now - nearly 50 bucks!!! GIVE ME A BREAK. There should be a law aginst putting stuff like this out .
