    Also again: the point of the discussion was longevity and an ability to maintain a standard previously set.
    So yes, anyone out there still touring is fair game for this discussion.

    You don't have to cape up for your favourites every single time.

    I mean, we do it with footballers every single time, why can't we expand the discussion?

    The examples I gave were ones I thought were at least consistent, and it highlighted how great Prince was live that he still blew doors every night.
    Ok. On that note then as a live act the Rolling Stones, Deep Purple, and The Who can still pretty much destroy everyone else live. Sure they are not what they were vocally but musically they have very tight rhythm sections that most of todays bands can only dream of having.

    Oh and The Jackson 5 even without MJ are still pretty awesome - again - Because they are such great musicians.

    Leonard Cohen is pushing towards 80 and is still fabulous live.

    Most notable of those that no longer have it is Fleetwood Mac's Peter Green. His fall from being one of the greatest guitarists on the planet to being a mere shadow of his former self is very sad indeed.

    The multi million $$ paychecks available to them mean they are almost certain to partake in the touring aspect again regardless of whether their abilities and motivation is 100% like it was back in the day

    Let's remember most of these people have been to the top of the mountain achieved their fame and fortune why would they want to pony up and climb the mountain again

    They can sit around the pool all day checking their internet banking as the royalties keep rolling in for past work

    Same as in Football you can respect SAF as he done it at high standard for years and regularly found success. Compare him to Wenger who has also been doing at a high level for years but is bludging off what he achieved 15 years ago

    Doesn't make Wenger any less of a great manager

    Tributes to Prince grind my gears...and people writing FB statuses about him acting like they were huge fans. On that note, Prince's music grinds my gears. Sounds like gay men music.

    Prince and Sinead O'Connor punched on because he didn't like the way she presented herself to the media when discussing the song.

    Awesome music and he beats the shit out of skinhead chicks. Sounds like a winner to me.

    I think the only thing Prince would punch the shit out of is a man's anus.

    This is what Prince was doing at 18 years of age. Wrote it, sang it, arranged it, produced it, and played every instrument.

    Even at that age he was way ahead of the pack.

    Far out was that supposed to convert me!? I hope my neighbours didnt hear that or they would have thought I was a closet butt pirate! My point proven right there. Please tell me Q-Penny fangs along the bike line in his lycra with that pumping through his discman hahaha

    Gazza, you and I both know that the nancy boy wouldn't have lasted 2 minutes in Derby. Apparently he was a devout Florist fan though and they welcomed him with open arms...and open bum cheeks.

    We get it. People who aren't heterosexual grind your gears. The internet must be a confronting place for you. Here's hoping time travel becomes a reality soon so you can return to a time when your ideals weren't so antiquated.
