insiders say the pair are no longer on speaking terms.

"Writing" this stupid LIFE book is really the most unneeded and idiotic thing one could possibly do. It's so dingy and embarrassing. Unbelievable that a man must grow 67 years old to act so foolishly. LIFE is an invidious book and the most infuriating happening in Stones' history I recall. I just don't want to imagine the book would finally become cause for the end of the band.
well dead.flowes, i am happy to see that you used the same word i used, when you talk about "invidious book". it is nice to see that there is a common feeling , and i think we are not the only ones
I agree. I am still scratching my head about that book.Quote

Supposing Mick wanted to tour without Keith.......... and Charlie, Ron et al said O.K. to that...maybe pick up Mick Taylor or someone to fill the gap...would they be allowed to tour as the Rolling Stones or could Keith block the use of the name if he wasn't invited..?
I know that is what Keith has said as well but what I'm asking (If anyone knows) is if there would be a legal restriction on doing so..ie. like the wrangle over the name Pink floyd which Roger Waters eventually had to relinquish........Quote

The Stones will never tour without Jagger, Richards, or Watts.
If they toured without Richards it'd be like Huey Lewis and the News touring without Huey Lewis.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>morally (and I might add, artistically),there is absolutely no point to tour under the name Rolling Stones if Keith is not joining <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<....I do think I agree with that but have admit to being slightly titilated by the idea of Mick Taylor and Ron working it....P.S. Thanks for the clarification on the legal side of thingsQuote

As far as we know, there are three shareholders in the Rolling Stones business (Promogroup BV
and all its subsidiairies in Amsterdam): Mick, Keith and Charlie. I would think a contract
for a new tour would have to be signed by all three shareholders.
But that is for the legal aspects. Commercially, morally (and I might add, artistically) there is absolutely no point to tour under the name Rolling Stones if Keith is not joining.

Right, andrea66, actually I am not aware of what you had posted regarding this book, but it's nice to see I am "not the only one with mixed emotions" towards it.
Let's hope it'll all come out well with a view to the by so many of us hoped for Golden Jubilee and maybe Farewell Tour. cheers - dead.flowers

As I said before it came out... I dont understand why it is/was required, except to make money, more money. Does Keith really need more money?? How much money does anyone really need? come on man........ especially if it adversely affects the band in any way. I dont know if it does, or not. I didnt get it, I didnt buy it, I have not even looked at it yet. Maybe someday I will pick it up for $2.99 from the close out bin to add to my collection of 40-50 Stones books, but from what has been said/heard, there is no much new there..... heard it all before.
Who knows if they will tour again. I am just delighted that Iwas on board when they had their hey day, it was/is awesome memories.

Mick's "shining armor" is thicker than we think.
Neither the book nor any interview is gonna break it.

Moot point for this year.
And if Keith really wanted to play music he'd get the Winos back together since the Stones are not rolling anywhere. Maybe he really doesn't want to play music anymore. Maybe his fingers hurt. Maybe he's had enough but won't admit it publicly. Maybe it's none of our business. Maybe it doesn't matter anymore. Maybe he wants to have a different life now. Maybe this maybe that. It doesn't matter because it doesn't.

I AGREE.. They will tour again...Its the same old story...This could be the last tour???Make everyone think
they won't tour ever again because Jagger is pissed at Keith..
Build up the excitement and make everyone think they are done...Then they release a great album
and the hype builds for their 50th party tour....
Then we are all back in line to buy our tickets...Again.
