Would you keep coming here to read and talk about the band when it officially no longer exists? That means: would you keep on interacting here, the history of the band being the only 'main topic'? No more tours, no new albums, perhaps only some (studio and live) releases from the vaults, even that being unsure?

yes, I live with them....

Yes, since the Rolling Stones I know & love essentially ended in 1974.

Sure i will. we will get a lot of "new" Stones.-stuff!!!! a lot of albums.

under the boardwalk---down by the sea

People are still trying to completely exhaust the American Civil War as a topic of interest...others are still talking about Henry the V. So the Stones will have scholars and graduates, professors and historians, and even the lowly fans discussing them for a millenia.

We're gonna need a place to do it!

I think I might be silent for a while to get over the shock of "a world without the Rolling Stones" ... and then get back to it in due course.

to be honest i am not sure, it would be very different for sure.

YES I WOULD

of course.
The world is without an active Rolling Stones for 3, 4 5 years at a time.
Forever is only a little longer, and there will always be opportunities aplenty to exploit the fanbase and for us to debate it.
Be it through overpriced, unnecessary repackaging of vintage albums and dvds, or shitty t-shirts and bobble-head dolls.

99% of what is discussed here is historical anyway - so i'm not sure why anything would change with the extra 1%

I seriously wonder if this forum will still operate in 2060, or even in 2110

It is real: you got forum about Mozart, and all were created more than 200 years after he passed - but for the Stones you will not need that within 200 years - because the fan websites do exist yet

Maybe our posts will be somewhow deciphered in the 23th century by musicians or fans of the whatever-you-call our period.

Maybe BV has plan about the future on the long term, sort of legacy...

The web was invented less than 20 years ago, early 90's. IORR has been around longer than a lot other sites on the net, in fact IORR has been around 3/4 of the entire web life. Why worry so much about the future? The future is now!

Sure I will! When the band's dead it will be time to dissect it : analyse the career the shows, the tours, the sidemen instead on concentrating on mundane aspects of the band memebers' life (Ron and Eka, Ron and his bottle, Keith and his skull ring zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz)

If you break down the percentage of discussion of the Stones into then, now and the future I suppose the the past (then) would come probably absorb about 70% or more of the discussion. Now would get about 10% and the future 20%.

Of course that would change if any worthwhile news arrives on the scene.

I totally would, always good to keep yourself updated about re-releases, tour-memories, solo-stuff etc..

IORR forever

i think analysing band members love lifes will be more likely the only thing to talk about.

Yes, I would guess that there will be vaults releases for many years after the demise. Then of course you have solo work post stones and then....the deaths. So, lots to debate and discuss and if we get really stuck we can revert to Taylor V Wood !

Definitely!

Most of the best discussions we have here are about the older music, and all things related to the Stones past. I consider the re-issues also part of a "past" discussion.

I'll take the slings & arrows for saying this but personally haven't been into their "new" music for some time - and it's highly doubtful I'd attend a Stones concert if it's anything like what they've been doing the past 20-25 years. In fact, I'd be embarrassed to admit to most people (not to people here of course) that I'd been to a Rolling Stones concert in the past 20-25 yrs, because to me and most of my friends and people I know, the Stones touring as they have been are vainglorious, foolish, and irrelevant. A manic desperate tribute band.

I would definitely see Keith in a "solo" band. I would not go to see Mick unless he were doing something very different than he's ever done. I'd see the Faces before I'd see Mick with a band.

Yes, why not? I'm only interested what they did and not what they not did or planning to do nothing.

And I think that will be the time they will release there vaults.

__________________________

as long as they keep releasing music & video from the vaults...there's always something
to discuss.

As long as there's the prospect of future (archive) releases, theres no reason not to.

the only real 'hard' topics of discussion that will be off the menu will be to debate what they will/wont should/shouldnt do on their next tour. And who should/shouldnt be playing with them.

And even then, there'll no doubt be the 'what if they didnt quit/die' scenarios from a few bored posters, so that should take care of most of the newly redundant topics.

<<< I'd see the Faces >>>

And if you get the chance, seize it. The present Faces are BRILLIANT !!

[ If you don't believe what I'm singing, at three o'clock in the morning, babe, well I'm singing my song for you ]

Well, I guess it depends on a few things........

1. If BV keeps it going.
2. The age of BV to know if it could even still possibly be running in 2060.
3. Who is still here

i would for sure
'couse I've only started

Indubitably.

As most of the discussions I am interested in are of older music and shows, the band ceasing activity will not alter my interest, any more than the Beatles breaking up in 1970 makes their music any less worth discussing...So yes.
