BBC Breakfast just screened an interview between Mick and BBC Breakfast host Charlie Stait.

Mick was obviously there to promote Super Heavy but at the end he was pressed to talk about the Stones and whether they would tour again.

He offered fans no hope of a tour and and when asked if the Stones would tour again he took a few seconds to answer before looking bemused and saying "perhaps".

Stait then mentioned the reported tension in the band and Mick said: 'people say that tension is a good thing - it's not really!'

Stait then asked if there was now harmony.

Mick: 'There's some tension and some harmony'.

Stait: 'Do you want to say anything more about that?'

Mick, snapping back: 'Nothing'.

So it looks as if Mick and Keith have not got over their spat.

I'm sure it will later be available be put up on the BBC site.

Thanks for posting.

As fans, we're all going to look at these little stories and find what we want to find. If you want to look for the "they're on bad terms" angle...it's there. If you want to go with the "Mick is playing coy...he's just not letting on to the bigger plans" there's room for that too. The thing is...all these are just crumbs that we're working with here and no matter how many different ways Mick is going cringe, answer vaguely or make faces to any Stones tour...it leaves with nothing. All we can do is take this stuff with a grain of salt and just WAIT IT OUT.

thanks Silver Dagger,
indeed, all we can do , as Justin said, is to wait.

Oh my God, Mick and Keith both act like such caddy bitches sometimes. What sorority are they in?

Props to Mick, I suppose, for not slagging Keith by saying "he can't play anymore" or "he can't write anymore"

I don't know if this was clever word play by Mick but he said there was tension in 'life'.

sparks DO fly !

I would just add - and thank KR for this situation.

Well, Mick and Keith are old men. My grannys are sometimes oddly as well.

Just seen the interview and just about to post it but Silver Dagger beat me to it.Charlie Stait said it will be shown again with Mick talking about his own fitness.The show finishes at about 9.15 U.K.time.Did notice tht Mick was wearing the some shirt and the background was the same as in the piccy of Mick and Simon Mayo.Mick probably done a load of interviews that day 'cos I know another one coming up on Absolute Classic Rock.All much of the same thing though.

Charlie Stait apologised for not showing the full interview,but said it will be available on the web.Undersandable this morning with news coming in about the 4 Welsh miners.

Thanks for posting. It's look like a mess within Mick and Keith. Childish attitude....

Very childish and as usual business man Jagger don't care at all about the fans. Just releasing these new boxsets and making more money. It's now or never, no tour next year and it's all over.

OMG they are really good at PR. Talk about a golden oppurtunity. Keith slags Mick since Keith is Keith. The meeting last week or the week before was clearly the first step in the PR proceeding their last tour ever/concerts ever. Mick carries something, a copy of "Life"?, Keith looks tough and then Mick gives interviews. This is just one big countdown. They really have the chance to go out in a boom if they want to. Or continue with a next step in the ongoing "thing" that is the Rolling Stones. Ladies, this is good PR.

LOL! The art of wishful thinking!
Thanks, 'cause I'm having a hard time trying to see the sunny side of the bits and pieces
that come to us these days.

Just as long as the guitar plays, let it steal your heart away

We can speculate and spout all we want about tension between Mick and Keith and all the rest, but only they know what is and what isn't. All the focus on the todger issue says more about the speculators than anything else. I think Mick having a copy of Life with him at that meeting is a really weird idea - why on earth would he take that with him?

I haven't seen the BBC interview but...It's all there.

<<<---Mick: 'There's some tension and some harmony' --->>

swings both ways, but the middle that counts now is:

>>Mick was obviously there to promote Super Heavy<<

how long will that last? I predict, not long!

>>Stait then asked if there was now harmony.

Mick: 'There's some tension and some harmony'.

Stait: 'Do you want to say anything more about that?'

Mick, snapping back: 'Nothing.

No doubt Mick was dreading being asked, 'How do you feel about Keith claiming you have an undersized penis?'

Mick looks great.

Thanks for the video, turd and thanks to Siver Dagger's good desciption it felt like I had seen the interview before.

leaves nothing tangibly to speculate about, but I'm sure some folks here will pull out the same old broken record.

Thanks, it's always good to see the face together with the words. Especially the big grin after
his "Nothing!"

I think that some people on this board have bigger problem with Mick's penis than Mick himself. Do you think that 68-year-old guy after having shagged hundreds and hundreds of girls around the world throughout his entire life would be concerned if someone said that he has a small penis? Don't be silly. He's not a 15-year-old virgin schoolboy.

I think the BBC is a classier act than that (though plenty of interviewers aren't). Thank goodness Mick has had over forty years' experience of fielding awkward, silly, intrusive and embarrassing questions, and he isn't about to start washing the band's dirty linen in public now.

Hmm, what will be will be I guess ...

Meanwhile, I'm just friggin' glad I was there at the O2 on Sunday 26th August 2007 !!

[ I want to shout, but I can hardly speak ]

I'm quite sure there will be a giga Stones tour in 2012-2013.

Stait said that the full interview would be on the web.During the show he mentioned that the full interview would include Mick talking about his fitness.Nothing in that clip.Hope it turns up as a continuation after Mick says ''Nothing'' .

Recently there were some clips from the abb tour posted here, KR cannot play in an acceptable way anymore, he said that he does not play at home anymore and he is 67 years old. So I do not believe that there will be a tour, and no tour is better than a disaster

Yes I do think Mick would not like being confronted by that question. Apparently he was angry and hurt by Keith statements.
