easy "Rockman"? beat me over the head again when i repeat - "they'll tour and you'll get backing tracks, Blondie behind the curtain playing for Keith, and since this is "the last" chance to see them, you'll pay big $$$.

I'd like to think they would just for the mere fact that it's what they've always done. Having watched STONES IN EXILE and seeing that Keith was interviewed apart from Mick and Charlie does not mean anything other than they just weren't together for that bit.
It just doesn't seem like it's going to happen, not this year for sure, especially if you take Keith's "we're touring in July" bit of this year and understand that that is just not true as far as anyone knows and next year nobody knows at this point either. They just might be done with that part of what they do.

So far, officially, there is no Stones tour for 2012 or any time after that. So it doesn't matter.

#1. PASSION: They absolutely love what they do.
#2. HISTORY: It defies logic to think that they would shut things down while at the doorstep to their historic 50th anniversary as a band. There is no way that door doesn't get kicked down!
#3. US: They love their fans! No way they are going to let us down!
#4. PROFESSIONAL PRIDE: Wan't to prove to the world they can still create great music and perform it at a high level.
#5. MONEY: Any tour involving the Stones is a guaranteed money maker.
#6. ADDICTION: They are hopelessly addicted to performing. Will only leave on stretchers.
#7. DESTINY: Couldn't quit if they wanted to, destiny would not allow it!

Never trust a sober watchman! The Stones are gonna roll in 2012 like a tank on steroids!

Yes, and one additional reason why the Stones will keep rolling; REBELLION! You say they can't/won't? They will show you they can, and will!

this is a qoute from before the bigger bang tour-
"to be honest,i didn't think the stones should do another big tour.i was thinking of just 20 shows.there are all these festivals in the summer,lets do 10 gigs in america,then come to europe"-MICK JAGGER
thats probably what you'll get in 2012.they'll put out some material- re-issues, some old video and hopefully a new record and do a short tour.
it saves all the trouble of people being healthy,sponsors and months of planning and gearing up.
the mega -tour days may be over but the stones?not a chance.if anyone thinks mick is gonna dump the band because keith said something bad about him..you cannot be serious.
i know i posted something similar before.i think it was on one of the other 200 finished/not finished threads.
Q:you get the question evertime you announce a tour"is this the last time?"
MICK:"the first time i answered that was 1966,its on film"

I am very much looking forward to May of 2012, until then, I might just take a little nap.

Ridiculous that nobody would underwrite the tour after A Bigger Bang's success.

Fascinating to see how this thread has evolved. At the beginning several post expressed doubts about a new 2012.
How does this stand now with rumors of jam sessions, etc?
I don't think much has changed. A tour is till in doubt because of the health of the band members and the financial crisis. Yeah things might be getting better but not everywhere and not when the tickets cost $150 USD for a seat at the back of the stadium. That's just a guess but we all know it ain't gonna be cheap.

They had one eye on 2012 since the end of the last tour. I actually thought they might get rolling sometime in 2011 and into 2012, however, Mick always gets it
right. He was smart to wait until 2012. I actually think they might do more in
2013 than 2012, but they certainly are not going to let 2012 slip away without at
least one live performance. The bottom line is that we get to enjoy them at
least one more time. I can't wait! Should be fun to see what they come up
with.
