Intriguing indeed - but its a bit of a stretch to say Bernard is indispensable at Stones recording sessions, considering the fact he hasnt been in a studio with them since, what, 1997?
Even if he was on the next Stones album, its pretty unlikely he'd be recording with them early on in the process. There's no indication that the Stones have been together of late, let alone recording. A bit unlikely they'd be recording over an Easter holiday weekend too, dont you think?
I'd have thought maybe a more likely excuse would be his involvement on Ronnie Wood's album

Actually, Bernard's recording with Ronnie. For his solo album.
BUT there will be Stones-sessions. Probably not until June at the earliest. KR's in Turks.
(I know someone's gonna ask "What's Turks?" - small group of islands, Turks & Caicos, under British rule, a litle more than a hour's flight from Miami. They have an island home there.)

You know, not wanting to offend anyone here, but just because you people haven't heard about the Stones recording doesn't mean the the Stones aren't recording. I mean, you people act like you know them. You don't. You are all as clueless as the rest of us.

Bernard Fowler cancelled yesterday and tonight both gigs in Berlin (Quasimodo).The club-owner told me that Bernard was not available cause of a studio-production in general. So it can be everything. But go and see the rest of the band. They are worth the money (17 Euro) and you won`t miss Bernard that much.

Charlimoon, don`t misunderstand me, I love Bernhard with Tackhead/Little Axe or with Tim Ries. He is such a great personality on stage. But these guys - Skip McDonald, Doug Wimbish and Keith Leblanc stand for their own music. The music was already there when Bernhard joined them as a singer. It`s their history and style to work with these industrial/Dub/Ambient elements. And Skip McDonald worked with these sequenced Hownlin Wolf vocals in the studio. So here in Berlin they rocked the house. There were some Stones-Fans , but they stayed. So don`t expect traditional Blues/Stones-playing. And when they played "Trance" from Bernhards last Solo -CD the vocals were done by Doug Wimbish, and this version was so brutally hot, forget the studio-version. Many people wanted to see Bernhard but they appreciated these guys.
