"GIMMIE A LITTLE DRINK" Happy New Year 2000! Sticky Fingers was honored for their long standing working relationship with the world famous Hard Rock Cafe chain (HardRockCafe.com) in the year 2000. The main office in London decided to name a new drink after the band. This was the first time in history The Hard Rock Cafe has ever named a drink after a musical group. The unveiling of the new drink coincided with the arrival of Sticky Fingers in Bali, during their Far east tour of Indonesia and China.  In addition to Bali, the band performed in Jakarta, Hong Kong and Beijing. The official ingredients to make a Sticky Fingers drink are as follows: Bacardi, Vodka, Tequila. Dry Gin, Triple Sec, Lime Juice, Orange Juice, Pineapple Juice, Grenadine, and topped with Sprite.  Just when I thought a Long Island Iced Tea packed a punch!

After returning home, Sticky Fingers toured the rest of the year at their frequent watering holes including Hard Rock Cafes, House of Blues, Mustang Sally's, Baby Boomers, The Toy Tiger, Six Flags, The Spectrum, Casino Magic in Biloxi and Bay Saint Louis, MTV Beach Party at Panama City, Florida and MTV Beach Party in Corpus Christie, TX , Club Sticky Fingers in Little Rock, and more than we can remember.


With the new Millennium safely behind them, 2001 found Sticky Fingers in the spotlight once again in between touring.  Frontman Glen Carroll was interviewed and graced a full page photo spread in Details magazine (Special Music Edition, Nov. 2001).  Journalist Steve Kurutz conducted the interview.  Steve's reason for the interview was simple.  "The band is great!"  While attending Columbia University in New York City, Steve would attend performances by Sticky Fingers in the world famous music hub of Greenwich Village.  The story ran in conjunction with Warner Bros. Pictures release of Rock Star in which Mark Wahlberg stars as a singer in a tribute band. Wahlberg is given the chance to sing with the real band he grew up idolizing. The movie is based loosely on the real life story of Judas Priest.

I love these guys.  I hope they last as long as the Stones have.

"FHM Magazine (FHM.com) threw one helluva Halloween party in New York City.  Rumored to be haunted, the rusty if not rustic location was a former cargo ship that's been transformed into an entertainment complex.  The ship is permanently docked on the upper west side of Manhattan at 57th St.  Sticky Fingers began the night of entertainment with "Sympathy For The Devil" followed by "Gimme Shelter, Midnight Rambler, Paint It Black, Dancing With Mr. D, Under Cover Of The Night, Can't You Hear Me Knockin', Monkey Man, Let It Bleed, Dead Flowers" and "Jumpin' Jack Flash."  At the end of a carefully chosen first set, singer Glen told the audience, "something for the agnostics in the crowd.

I would write more now, however, it's time to order room service.
