A time machine from which Anita and Marianne emerge to open the new show with a naked mud wrestling session.

You'll really need that time machine to not malfunction and produce the current-day naked Anita and Marianne...

IF they tour:

-Drop all supporting musicians
-Cut the amount of warhorses in a show by at least half
-Lower ticket prices by at least half
-Release an album of meaningful music..not just a product to meet contractual obligations

The first one doesnt bother me so much as I think its something that they seem to need, but the other three are spot on.

The most exciting thing they can do though at this point for me is some serious and professionally organised archiving.

Of course we'd all like that. That goes without saying. But does the band have a proper archivist, like, say, Neil Young? I don't think they do.

No, they do not. And their vaults seem to be in a bit of a mess, going by the interviews they did around the time of the Exile reissue. Appointing a small 'team' of people to do this properly could work wonders.

Opening the vaults more is all very well in theory, but doing it efficiently and professionally is another thing entirely.

Yes, they (we) do...we have Erikjjf

For the majority of those "fans who have lost their enthusiasm" as you say, it is my opinion that at least 3/4 of them would have a incredibly quick recovery and regain most of that enthusiasm once they hear official word on a new tour or even new record. In my opinion, I still firmly believe a tour is in the future for the Rolling Stones.

I agree wholeheartedly. Been a long time between tours this time around so a little bitchiness has surfaced but once the bus starts rollin again many will be back on board.

1. September 2011, Mick and Keith rent a production studio for 3 weeks to start swapping ideas for songs. Ronnie joins them during week 2 to contribute/help gel the new tunes. They cut some DEMOs during week 3+ with veteran studio cats on drums (newmark, keltner-type) and piano (Mac, Rabbit, JPJ). This will cause the Stones to react to and add more Stonesiness when they cut them for real, and could lead to slightly different flavors/detours which lead them in a fresh direction.

2. Call up an old school mixing desk vet (Glyn Johns-esque or someone they get along with who's not Don Was) to engineer. 6 weeks in November/early Dec. in London, the band starts cutting tracks for a new album. Various pianists are brought in for basic tracks, and Ron, KR, MT and Wyman overdub some bass parts. The last 2 weeks, some horns are brought in and so are some guest guitarists (MT, Page) to see if they can catch some magic with their acoustics and leads. They actually craft intros and outros and bridges and solo breaks like they did pre-ABB. The band sifts thru what they have in January.

3. Over to the States in March 2012 for a final month of overdubs, finalized lyrics/lead vocals, Taylor/Wood solos, a few 'fresh' faces/guests for background singers, percussion, a solo or two. Start rough mixes and song selection.

4. In April, a bootleg of the rough mixes hits the IORR Hot Stuff section, and the IORR community responds with every kind of suggestion from the serious to the silly. Mick and Keith, drowning in their 30 tracks, are unable to make any headway in the song selection and sequencing, happen upon some practical suggestions from the IORR board that they, in a moment of exhaustion, take to heart ("uh, guys? Under the Radar HAS to be on the main product, Sweet Neocon HAS to be a b-side/outtake" "Unless it's bursting with awesomeness, keep the main non-deluxe release to a core 45 minutes" ) and their final record is their best since SG.

OK, I might have gotten carried away, but it sure would make me excited!

Stop it! You are giving me goosebumps!

And . . ..

Restore competent guitar playing by factoring in obvious health and sobriety issues and making necessary adjustments.

Barring an MT return this means Ron is sober and plays all lead guitar parts, all, Keith and Blondie fill out the rhythm only.

The Stones could sound great with this adjustment. Egos be damned.

Do a row of unreleased songs CD's from the Some Girls, Emotional Rescue, Dirty Work sessions etc.

Just songs like this from the early 70'ies would be a treat:





Put all the gems on the market.

I generally like Darryl Jones' playing, but nonetheless was recently watching video of the Bigger Bang Tour version of UNDER MY THUMB, and when Chuck Leavell and Jones are sort of teasing the audience with a jumble of notes before the song actually starts, Jones is playing all these quick, jazzy notes, which I find personally annoying. It's just too slick and polished for the Stones. It sounds like Yes (who are obviously skilled...but sterile).

Get serious about a new album and forget about making it a hit. Get Mick and Keith really collaborating. Due some serious work on the back catalog not another greatist hits album but some real archiving there is soooooooooo much stuff they can put out. Put out some live albums with an entire show on it. Neil Youg has done it, Dylan has done it do it now while people are still interested. Then tour behind a new album. A short tour with no stadiums and go out on a high note and leave the gd Olymoics alone!!!

I just wish the Stones would be honest to their fans,
start working seriously (which I think won't happen) or frankly tell the fans when they did lose interest in being original.

Let's not retire them just yet. The vault doors will swing open much more freely down the road a bit. I can wait.

Tour with prices reflecting the fees paid back in the 60's!! Front row seats for $15.00!! It would be the Stones giving back to the fans who have kept them on top for 50 years....not too much to ask really!
Also have Keith share the spotlight with Mick Taylor.
Have it be an arena tour only, no stadiums, plus add about 15 theatre shows!!
Ask fans to bring in their cameras!
Have free meet and greets at every show!
Create a completely different set list every night, changing at least 15 songs each night.
How's that for starters?

I can just see him now, getting up from his kit to walk down the catwalk towards the B stage and leading the entire stadium in the Charlie Shuffle pre-show dance. It would bring the house down with everybody peeing themselves and crying from laughter. A star would have been born!!

Well said. I think most fans are frustrated that it has been such a long time since the last concert. I for one will be ready when they announce tour plans and will be one of the first in line in my area to buy two tickets.

If Charlie's the music director, Mick Taylor coming back is a certainty.
