Well I 'm with you NICOS, frustrated that they have left us loyal fans hanging.
I'm especially bruised by the words of the ever boring Bill Wyman saying that drugs have killed Mick Taylors credibility. Even going so far as to say the three days of recording for Bills record that he did were scrapped cause only one slide solo was good enough! Coming from someone who wouldn't know a good song if it woke up in bed with him, someone who hasn't made a memorable tune in his 30 years of solo work , it just pissed me off. MT can still rock with the best of them and after those comments I hope Darryl Jones is invited back to play for whatever the Stones decide to do. Screw Bill Wyman.
The first part, what the hell are you talking about? It's JANUARY. Who are they to you to jump to attention and start doing shit? Left you hanging? About WHAT? There are no promises, no guarantees. It's just talk, about 98% of it HERE and not from the 'band'.
Second part - where the hell did that come from!? First I've heard/read of it.

Who am I? I am just a loyal fan of The Rolling Stones, willing to go the distance and pay the price to see them play LIVE, for a while anyway. All these re-issues of the catalog are great but while the boy are still breathing I (and a shitload of other folks) want to see them play together again. Got it?

If you want to read what Bill said about Mick, check out Rockman's "Some Kind of Stones Connections Thread". I won't say where in that long thread, perhaps you can get up to speed by reading the whole damn thing WeLoveToPlayTheBlues.

Yep. You think that being a loyal fan means they've left you hanging. Ha ha ha ha ha ha! YOU have left yourself hanging. THEY don't owe YOU a thing. You want loyalty to mean something? Get yerself a dog. That's real actual loyalty.

Well then, I can safely assume that YOUR band (if you even have one) will have zero fans no matter how good you play the blues. Its not what you got it's what you give WeLoveToPlayTheBlues and with that smartass attitude about fans...well that will get you nowhere in the music game. Of course they owe EVERYTHING to their fans as both Mick and Keith have stated numerous times in numerous interviews.
As far as the dog goes, I've got a couple of 'em already but thanks for that tip. btw: the same goes for friends and lovers so I'd be careful what you choose to believe about loyalty. peace.

the fact remains, bands never owe their fans anything, other than to perform up to the price if fans pay for those obscenely expensive tickets, which the Stones are not capable of doing based on the last tour..

You're confusing things they have - cars, houses, etc with caring about their fans, the "owing" part. That's their way of saying 'thanks for spending so much money on us". If they truly cared about their fans they'd release quite a few things.

Hasn't been any official announcement yet. Keith has said they will let us know when they are ready to let us know. Certainly it will come sometime within the next six months. Could be as late as July 12. Maybe they make the announcement then? Probably earlier I would expect if they are planning on performing around the 50th anniversary date. I would think by May.

Why do they have to perform around the date? That means Mick is concerned with being nostalgic etc. Probably not the way to 'move forward'.

In full context it doesn't really come across as something that would (automatically at least) rule out Taylor's ability to participate in any 50th Anniv Stones projects.

No of course not, just makes me lose respect for Bill Wyman. You make great points about the context SweetThing. and yes page 90 of Rockman's "Some Kind of Stones Connections" has the original clip I saw, worth a peek for sure.
Back to Bill, all those great musicians and so good mostly in the first coupla takes....still can't produce a piece of original music that is worth a crap. Stay in Europe Bill, I'd settle for Jade Jagger playing bass at this point, for the American shows, or Don Was, I've heard he's at least rehearsed a few of the Stones bass parts. peace.
