Stones Roll to Universal
Filed under: Music Minute > Old People
The Rolling Stones are leaving their long time label, EMI, for the biggest record company in the world, Universal.
Universal said on Friday that the new deal covered both future albums by the Stones and their back catalog, including such classics as Sticky Fingers and Brown Sugar.
Who cares about the new stuff? We think it's the catalog stuff that is a huge score for Universal!
The record compnay did not disclose terms of the deal.
"Universal are forward-thinking, creative and hands-on music people," the Stones said in a statement. "We really look forward to working with them."
This news was no doubt a hard pill for EMI to swallow. It announced plans this year to cut more than one-third of its work force to offset a drop in CD sales revenue and the departure of several major artists, including Paul McCartney.
EMI has reportedly struggled more than the other major labels as digital music downloading has gained in popularity.
Thank God for Katy Perry and Coldplay, or else EMI/Capitol would be FUCKED right now!

finally you talk about some decent music perez. Anyways, yes their old stuff in the 60's was classic.
Everyone who posted on here disgusts me! The music you guys listen to is complete fucking crap!!!!!! It has no soul, no real talent. It's just about killing people and fucking some girls, it's so stupid. These people created the 60's, these people made the world a better place, these people idolized the counterculture that we are lucky enough to be able to cherish now days.
Society and you people disgust me and i can't believe you would call these legends that have created the most amazing music in the world old grandpas that should be dead. You guys are idiots! Don't ever talk about the rolling stones.
Just because you don't have a good education or any class or decency doesn't give you the right to talk about bands like this. You shouldn't even have the right to look at them you are so pitiful.
Did you read that Ronnie Woods left his wife of 27 years for a 19 year old waitress?
The three look like they are really styling, and Keith Richards looks like a bum that's just hanging on. Richards looks like he is wearing a fucking Halloween costume.
SOMEONE HELP THAT DUDE ON THE END! HE'S GOIN' DOWN!!!!!!!!!!!
It's all about the money, not the music. If EMI wants to hold onto everyone else, they need to invest a little more in their performers. Money….. sweet, sweet, money!
"Brown Sugar" is a song that appears on the album, "Sticky Fingers." It's not an album unto itself.
colostomy rock! Old, shrivelled and pretty disgusting. Please don't post any more pictures of these people.
i like you mostly perez but seriously, don't post about the rolling stones, or talk about what you think should be done about their new music. you really know nothing about them
The Stones were the best rock n roll group of their era and I mean by a mile. In my opinion the Beatles weren't even close. What a shame people now in their 20s missed it.
Huh, are you saying they're still alive?
EMI is the worst record label, EVER!!!
I'd leave them too. haha
Holy geez, they look like the walking dead. Retire already.

And sir and friends were crucified
A day they wish that we had died
We are an addition
We are ruled by none
Ever, ever, ever
And you thought that we were faking
That we were all just money making
You do not believe we're for real
Or you would lose your cheap appeal
Don't you judge a book just by the cover
Unless you cover just another
And blind acceptance is a sign
Of stupid fools who stand in line

Re: shit – YOU HAVE ISSUES, FUCKTARD!
Re: nyc – FUCK OFF, YOU DISGUST ME YOU FUCKTARD!!!!!!
BEGGERS BANQUET BEST ALBUM! BUT SERIOUSLY GUYS RETIRE!
one woudl have to wonder how much is left to gain from them. Its not as if they have something new and fresh to offer. They have been played out so the millions spent on whatever the deal could be are millions that will be seen as a loss to someone. But, good for the Stones that they have created the preception of value moving forward into their geriatric phase of life.
Re: yourj –
Totally agreed! Long live Keith! He takes a lickin' and keeps on tickin'! LOL!
The Stones are my favorite group of all time. It's good to see that they've never broken up in over 40 years and their music is still sexy and popular.
scroll so you can't see there heads and its the fucking jonas brothers +1 haha
Shit, how long before these old farts change their names to "The Kidney Stones"………Gawd, soon they will be dragging oxygen and walkers onto the stage with them. And Keith Richards died years ago; he just won't fucking stay dead. Jeeeeeeeeeeez
Re: serio – hahahaha yeah you're right. that will be them soon…
Does that mean that they have to come up with some (good) new music?
I have it from a good source that this is the last picture taken of the Golden Girls.
That's a cool pic of a bunch of dead guys
Start me up…
They SUCK
Hm I guess these guys will be added to the growing list of things that will survive a nuclear holocaust.
Roaches
Twinkies
Cher
Rolling Stones…
…………
They already had their 'moment', time to pack it up and call it a night already. Meh.
Dead Men Walking
Love the Stones. Happy Birthday Mick.
Correction back catalogue was on Decca which is owned by Universal anyway..hello!!!!!
EMI is stuffed..Coldplay allegedly planning to leave,Robbie W on strike against corporate take over ,Kylie cannot sell one million copies of her mindless same old same old shitz..EMI may as well close. Kate Perry yeah right..one hit wonder.
you guys are such morons. dead guys? i just can't believe there are so many brainless walking around nowadays, not because they don't like the rolling stones, but because they think they can talk shit about them. they are not dead, thank God for that, because if they were, we'd be forced to listen to that crap that's going on today. rap SUCKS. hip hop SUCKS. it's just a bunch of uneducated morons, talking about money and girl with big asses that they like to fuck. they don't have talent, i'm sorry. but the new generation doesn't care, because they're just morons
i really hope, the emo/goth era, and rap will be over soon. i can't stand to see these emo bands, thinking they're rock. NO THEY'RE NOT.
and to be honest, perez can't even talk about the rolling stones. brown sugar wasn't an album.
just go back to hating people that are more inteligent, and successful than you are.
Look at this picture of these guys and tell me Dorian Gray was fiction!!
What a looooong great Career!!
HAPPY 65TH TODAY SIR MICK!
Re: nyc – Go Fuck yourself.
You guys know nothing. They shouldn't retire. They should go out with their boots on. Props to Charlie for bravely hanging in; you look great. Millions love them, and they are the ones who count to the Stones, so either hop on and enjoy the ride, or reserve your dis and reviews for groups that you prefer to see.
Brown Sugar is a song on the album Stcky Fingers, idiot.
"I vant to drrink your BLOODT!"
Rolling Stones on tour = Antiques Road Show.
Who cares about those old dinosuars. Hang it up grandads! NO NEW MUSIC PLEASE….
FUCK MICK JAGGER AND KEITH RICHARDS for what they did to THE VERVE.
.
The Verve got permission to use the sampling of a dead song they both wrote, which was replayed in the song BITTERSWEET SYMPHONY. Jagger and Richards thought it was OK, UNTIL IT BECAME A BIG HIT!
.
Then they sued The Verva, not just for partial proceeds BUT ALL OF THE MONEY MADE BY THE SONG. The sample hook made up the base of the song, but there was much more to it. The Stone's members claimed that even though THE VERVA HAD PERMISSION to use the sample - THEY USED IT TOO MUCH in the song. Big money attorney and legal fees won and The Verva was told they could play it for free but Jagger and Richards gets ALL OF THE MONEY! ALL OF IT! (Not a portion or 70 percent or even 80 percent - BUT ALL OF IT!)
.
FUCK THE SKULL OF MICK JAGGER AND KEITH RICHARDS - FOREVER!

THE VERVE WAS THREATENED THAT THEY EITHER AGREE TO PLAY THE SONG - BITTERSWEET SYMPHONY - FOR FREE OR IT MUST BE TAKEN OFF THE MARKET AND NEVER PLAYED AGAIN.
