>>The Stone (Ronnie), now 64, said the band were looking forward to next year’s anniversary – and dismissed suggestions of a permanent rift between Mick Jagger and Keith Richards.
He said: “We are all looking forward to it; we do not know what it is. I said to them we owe it to ourselves and the people to do something. We are just... whatever, we will find a way.
“I wish I could say. We had a great meeting the other week and we all got on great.”

In the video he says - "anyway" and not "I wish I could say". There's a huge difference.

sweetcharmedlifeYour obsession with that 1 quote is nothing short of amazing. Why don't you do a documentary on the size of Mick's penis.Quote

Still, as a journalist myself, I find it very interesting how much of this crap (I'm thinking about the huge amount of very thin stories - often pure re-hashing - about the Mick and Keith-war) we actually trust and take as the truth as soon as they appear in the media.
Well, I'm a documentary filmmaker- the field close to journalism - so I see what you mean. But my point was that all that Mick's cock'n'balls BS brought Richards a lot of money. What, in fact, was his main intention. Well, and the opportunity to laugh at the expense of Mick ( the pleasure he has never denied)

MAybe Mick knows we are bored on this board and is trying to give us something to talk about
This is the best comment for weeks I have read on this board. If they will roll and go out they will if not they won't. Leave all your speculations behind and remember the concerts of your lifetime in the past. That is what we have. The future will be always different and there is not a single repeat of any second you live.
The thing is he didn't say "trabajare". The interview had to be in English, so he said either "will work" or "will join"Quote

"trabajaré" = "will work" not "will join"

Glad to see a few are getting it! We need a class: 'Understanding Your Rolling Stones'!

it's very rare when the Stones go on tour without making a new album (not some kind of best off).
They did it in 2002 for the Licks Tour.
Maybe they will do it again next year for the "One more time no new album Tour" ?

Well, actually, She's The Boss and Primitive Cool came out before Talk Is Cheap, in fact, three years and one year before Talk Is Cheap. Not exactly competition between the two. That would be more in line with Main Offender/Wandering Spirit, since the latter was delayed because of the former. At least that's how I recall it!

Slide On This and Main Offender came out pretty much simultaneously, no? I recall the papers here reviewing both the very same day (Ronnie's album got one star more than Keith's).

but there was the excellent "It's only rock'n'roll" that came out in 1974. They should've toured just after but Mick Taylor made us a big surprise !

If Mick won't work with Keith then maybe Steven Tyler will?

No it makes Keith happy because it is Keith that wants to stop the Stones simply because...what's he going to do? He can't play the guitar any more, but he doesn't want to go down in the books as the riff master who lost his mojo, so he wants Mick to pull the plug so he can blame Mick for the end of the Stones. The last thing Keith wants is to admit the facts and step down, the last thing Keith wants is to see Jagger, Watts, Woody, Taylor (and Wyman) tp come together and make a damn good Stones album without him. Keith is a little child hence his remarks in his book all serving the cause of making it look that it is Mick that pulls the plug.

I think there may be merit to that school of thought. I actually believe Keith may have a hard time playing now. Maybe in the studio not as much of a problem, but live would be a whole other can of worms.

And that's why he deliberately wants to fvck up the Stones? That's stretching it way too far...

He got some good reviews on his playing with Tom Waits now. Let's see if the old geezer can surprise us a bit...

[No it isn't because in Keith's view the Stones is his band, meaning that he doesn't have a life beyond the Stones, he would be nothing without the Stones, so in his view if he can't join in anymore than they shouldn't play on either.
You are missing legal considerations of whether they could do so if it was the case.
The whole idea that the Stones might be remembered by a great last album that doesn't nclude his highness is a no go area in his psychi.
His psyche has nothing to do with it. This isn't even a possibility outside of your own speculation unless Keith dies or quits.
Like I indicated Taylor played with Jagger on Plundered My Soul, Taylor plays with Wyman, Woody and Watts, Jagger also plays with Watts. Where is Keith in this whole thing?????
Taylor doing session work for an EXILE outtake is not the same as sitting in on Ben Waters' gig or Stephen Dale Petit's gig with Woody. Where was Keith? Same place as Jagger as far as Ben Waters or Stephen Dale Petit was concerned - it wasn't something they cared enough to show up for. As for Taylor's session work for EXILE, Keith also did overdubs for it so no real point that I can see.
Keith doesn't want Taylor, yet Jagger and Woody etc does, but NOT with Keith.
Where do you get Keith rejecting Taylor from? His sentiments in December 1974? Jagger wants Taylor in as much as it made a single track sound authentic. He hasn't invited him back in the band. Woody has always been friendly with Taylor and has played with him more than any of the others over the past 35 years and that isn't really saying much.
Wyman wants to play but only on the condition that Keith isn't there,
Where did this come from? No interview I have ever read.
Jagger is very clear here also.
Jagger is pissed at Keith it appears. He hasn't said anything about replacing him or carrying on without him. He allegedly said (from a source that was not recorded and whose reliability is questionable) that he might not tour and might not write and record with him. If true, then we're still looking at finishing SOME GIRLS outtakes and likely playing some shows next year. That's all we can reasonably expect since there is no contractual obligation to make an album and no deal for a tour in place. No surprises there.
And even Woody's close companionship with Taylor gives off a clear sign where things stand as far as he is concerned.
Woody's close companionship is the same as in the mid-seventies when they played sessions together, in the mid-eighties when Woody booked him at his club in Miami, etc. He likes him and respects his playing. They play together when they synch up. Nothing big. From that analysis what does Ronnie doing session work for Keith's album just a few weeks ago tell you?
True, Keith's riffs have been the signpost of the Stones sound in the late 60's and 70's,
Try signpost of the Stones sound from the beginning through A BIGGER BANG and you'll be more accurate.
however there is no reason at all that the Stones could'nt develop a new sound, you don't have to be 20 for it, just look at Jagger and Woody's recent activities to see that new things can be and will be developed. And with some great guest musicians on horns and keyboards ANYTHING is possible.

"One more bash" in recent GQ interview... I was quite surprised by that comment, there seems to be a certain degree of acceptance that The Rolling Stones are already or will soon be coming to an end as an actual recording and touring band.
The feeling is in the air amongst fans, but that's the first time I've seen Keith even hint at it.
Strange times.

Yep but the point is Keith is hinting to it, but the fact that Watts, Wyman, Taylor and Woody played together and Jagger played both with Taylor and Watts suggests something else from the rest of the band, Jagger is very clear NOT with Keith but doesn't rule out at all something with the Stones (the other members and rejoining ex-members). It just proofs my point again; it is Keith that wants the Stones to stop (NOT the rest) but doesn't want to accept the responsibility for doing so.
