...well...after reading that article in Rolling Stone...all of us...(ESPECIALLY ME)...that were hoping that they would at least come together and try and write an LP that makes up for "A Bigger Bang"...have Mick Taylor on it...and go out on a high note...can finally put that idea to bed...
i honestly don't think they can sit down and write together...especially after the 'small dick" comments and how they still sting....these shows will probably wipe them out physically and mentally...and the backlash over the ticket prices and attendence...plus the fact that Mick has read that article...and saw where Keith sorta made fun of his 'apology'...
Keith is an idiot sometimes...saying a bunch of dumb crap that only hurts the band...but then again...they are 70 years old...and they were sick of each other a long time ago..
sad though...but if the only choice was another half Mick/half Keith LP it wouldn't be worth a damn anyway...

I dont agree on anything you say, - i honestly can see them writing together, why not, thepersonal probleams dont have anything to with professional job, I'm sure Keith can write music and give it to Mick - what would stop Mick from writing lyrics on Keith's melody and riffs, nothing.
Specially as the worst thing they ever said to each other is childish'small dick" comments - that only 12 year old child could be upset about. No real grown up man is gonna carry hard feelings over something silly as that. I would make fun if someone would cry over something as silly as that.
Half Mick/half Keith album would be great - Mick just wrote one of the best Rolling Stones songs in decades with Doom And Gloom. Lets not forget that these guys are still creative, -Keith just recorded one of the best Tom Waits albums ever.

No, the OP is right. The point of the article is that they have a truce to do the tour but they can barely stand being in the same room. They have not written together in decades, why on earth would you think they would do so now, at the end of their career?

No, its not the penis joke, that was the tip of the iceberg. they do not work together anymore. They haven't in ages. If Mick shoots Keith a semblance of a kind look onstange it's news here, with the photo printed to show "look, he doesn't really hate his guts." The LP's you cite demonstrate the difference between those thrown together paste jobs and the stuff they produced when they actually worked together. But they don't have to do even that anymore and they won't. And you seem more hung up on the small penis thing than anyone else. It's much bigger than that (pun intended). Wasn't it crystal clear from that article that they are holding their tempers for the sake of the big paycheck? And you think Keith admitting in print that he lied when he apologized to Mick just to get him back on the road helps?

As Mick Jagger has stated repeatedly in recent months, he and Keith have a strong working relationship--it doesn't imply that they have a strong writing relationship.
Mick isn't about to spend any more time than is necessary with Keith, especially not on the futile effort in taking months working at close quarters on disposable product like a new album.
Look at ABB--they're most recent album, no longer a part of their live performance. Mick has recently bemoaned--and accepted--the fact that the audience is no longer interested in new Stones material.
These days, they work together, but they create separately. There may be Jagger, Richards, and Wood solo albums, but no more new Stones--it would be like working for free, a product with no payday.

I'd like to see them do something similar like Johnny Cash did at the end of his life/career with his American Recordings. Completely stripped down, raw, originals and covers. I think they could make it work

It's been pointed out before that the current contract, while mentioning new material, did not mention new studio albums. Finishing up outtakes and throwing together two new GRRReat songs is likely all we'll get.

Oh sure, mention a song from the last Kinks studio album...

If they can simply write good new songs... and they feel up to it enough to work together for nothing more than the joy of creating... I say let them. Mick says that people don't care about new songs. I think a lot of us would agree... we would if they were good new songs.

Instead within the next week they should try to record 2-3 of their very best ideas - if they have any - ala Muscle Shoals cut them in a day or two rough and ready in the studio and then debut them and release them live and on radio, YouTube whatever...that would be enough if they have any gas left in the creative tank.
