I think that is one of the reasons why the band has not come up with anything really memorable for some 20 years.

A Bigger Bang was voted the best tour ever by thousands of fans on IORR. I think that says it all. Thousands, in fact millions, are just waiting for the Stones to tour again.

And just for the record... The Stones are in fact working on booking venues for their next tour. I know. I just don't have the dates now. It might be this year, it might be later. All I know is they work on it, and they do have stuff canned. No worries.

I'm assuming that Carlitos was joking. At least I hope he was.

I havn't believed any of the rumours.
In fairness, thats only really noteworthy had they all been spread by the same person.
There have been plenty of occasions down the years where the Stones have made tentative plans to tour (or extend tours) but for one reason or another they didnt happen. As bv said earlier, plans are always subject to change.
They had some plans to tour in '79, '86, '96, '04 and '08. None of them happened, but that doesnt necessarily mean they werent ever under consideration. There were absolutely plans to tour in 2010. And those plans weren't merely tentative or speculation.

Hope backstage is right. I can`t stand to see these old guys that once were the rolling stones try to play songs of the rolling stones.BTW if you really believe a bigger bang was the best stones tour ever, it must be the only one you attended or you´re deaf and blind...

Thing is they are quite old now and if they dont' tour til 2011 you're talking about four years.. thats a long time to be off the road when you're old men with issues like arthritis.. then again I don't know if arthritis improves with use of hands on guitar or gets worse..
I mean the last time they went this long was 1981-1989 so over twenty years ago unless I'm mistaken...so there's bound to be concern about whether they have it in them to get back out on the road.

If it's another Bigger Bang Stadium Tour (Sorry I missed the IORR's Poll), I am not really getting excited and I really don't know if i will buy my Ticket,
if it turns into a Club Tour of course Count me in!

I might be deaf and blind, but besides the Licks Tour the last one Bigger Bang had the most variety on songs. You must have been sleeping in 81/82 or 75/76 or 73/72.

You're right about the variety of songs but then it was also their longest tour at 145(ish) shows. Ignoring comletely whether the songs were well played or not a big difference between now and the 70s and 80s is how many shows the core fanbase go to. Hardly anyone even went to multiple shows in their own country let alone travelled abroad on tours in the 70s. Almost everyone stuck to a particular setlist throughout a tour in those days and it was expected. Now it isn't. People expect some variation. If you take the three night O2 residency for example, we all knew by then that the last 12 (out of 19) songs were not going to vary but to get Rough Justice three times and You Got Me Rocking twice was truly disappointing. Why not ONNYA for the token Bigger Bang song, (not to mention something they had NEVER played such as She Saw Me Coming?) How about throwing in Gimme Shelter or something else that people really wanted to hear? And there was far more variation from one tour to the next back in the 70s. You are absolutely entitled to say don't go to more than one show then and it is a conclusion I have come to myself.
