So. THIS is how you *do* "history"???
Gotta admit though, it sounds totally plausible.
Everyone knows the REAL 50th anniversary is 1975, when Ronnie joined. Or was that 1976?
2025 here we come! (or 2026)
(I wrote the following on another thread, but it really belongs on this one: )
When Mick said last year "I think by the end of 2012 people will be quite
sick of the Rolling Stones", everybody assumed that he meant people would be
sick of the Stones because of how much they would be doing as a group...
But what he actually meant was, people will be sick of the Stones because of
how little they would be doing as a group.
(And with rogue's and treacle's comments above, among many others, you
can see its already happening.)
Already happening? Some of these guys have been sick of the Stones dating back to the mid seventies and it is doubtful it will be any different for them even after they release the new album and tour next year. For me, I celebrate every day that they are in the news, the Stones that is.
Talk about your favorite band.

I am disappointed.
I was thinking of traveling to London on July 12th for some special event..
:-(
I am pretty convinced that there will be nothing done.

Another article with Ronnie, this time from New York (where his art exhibit opens today)
A quote about The Rolling Stones:
"Charlie actually joined in ’63 so it’s kind of a two-year stretch for the 50-year celebration,” Wood reasons. “And we do have lots of projects like a film celebrating the 50 years, a couple of books.
“But we’re not sure right now about anything going forward,” he says. “We are just in the meeting up stage and enjoying getting together again really"
[www.nydailynews.com]

As expected, all these Richards' stories about them gathering all together in the studio in April - is his usual bs. So, all we will get a 50 anniversary are a documentary and a coffee book.
Who could have imagined it all in May 2010 when Exile reissue became number 1 in England and ?2 in the United States and the Stones were almost everywhere.
I am sure that these events will be a low profile without much publicity and hype, as was with Some Girls reissue - several interviews with leading newspapers, one - two radio programs, maybe TV special, nothing more

My analysis :
Ronnie looks to be in discomfort as he has been 'caught short' and the door behind him is the Gents toilet.
Maybe it's the f**k-off-you-papparazzi look.

No new. The worlds largest can of WD 40 can't remove all of the rust from these guys.
Forget a tour and open the vaults.
Wouldn't you have to agree that superdeluxe versions of GYYYO, Exile, Some Girls and the releases of 6 classic concerts as downloads, a new 50th Anniversary documentary and a slew of 50th Anniversary books...all in the last 2-3 years would constitute 'opening the vaults'?
What do they have to do to please you?

I think there exists a way to bridge the gap between the semi-official line
around here (that a Stones tour was "planned" for mid-2012 and now has
simply been postponed til 2013) and the line pushed by me (that no Stones
tour for the 50th has as yet been under serious consideration.)
I think since at least 2009 Jagger has set up a series of hoops that Keith
must jump through in order for Jagger to agree to tour, hoops that Keith has
agreed to. This would not be ususual, since Jagger set up similar hoops
before the Bigger Bang tour and other Vegas-era tours, which Keith also
agreed to. These hoops have to do with Keith's drinking and productivity,
both in the studio and onstage. And what has inevitably happened before
is that Keith has made a half-hearted attempt to live up to his commitments
before the tour paperwork was signed, and basically no attempt whatsoever
once it was signed.
But this time round Jagger is not going anywhere near the paperwork until
at least two things happen, that Keith agreed to long ago: 1) Keith writes a
lot of new material for the Stones, and 2) Keith puts out a Winos/solo album
and successfully tours behind it, thus assuring the moneymen and the media
and the fans that he still has the power and passion for rock and roll, and that
the 50th thing is not just a cash-in.
So in this sense, all the leaked reports around here have been true. There
has been a series of agreements-in-principle to tour, but the continuing problem
is that Keith is just not living up to his end of the bargain. When Keith states
"we're not ready", what he means is, he's not ready. The other three have
made it obvious that they have been ready all along.
From my point of view however (more cynical), Mick (and Charlie) have sensed
all along that Keith is probably never gonna get it together enough on his own
to do a respectable Winos tour, so that these hoops that have been set up
for Keith, and that he is being held accountable for, most probably constitute
the end of the Stones as a touring unit. Especially since the kind of tour
being offered to Keith by Mick keeps getting smaller as Keith misses
deadline after deadline.
If you're an optimist, you can still look for Keith to somehow finally surprise to
the upside, in terms of creativity and performance chops, which would bring
the Stones back to Life. Otherwise, my position is that, if Keith can't or won't
keep his commitments, then it would best for him to retire, because all he's
doing now I think, besides eroding the Stones legacy, is holding up (Rod and
Ronnie and) the Faces as well as SuperHeavy.
P.S. A great commercial move by the Faces would be to have Mick Taylor
join them. That way they would be assured of inheriting a lot more of the
Stones fanbase, and the Faces could them legitimately include a few Stones
songs into their setlists.

a very good set of points about the tour problems and future of the band.
" now I think, besides eroding the Stones legacy, is holding up (Rod and

which may explain Mick and Ronnie's recent meeting

It's all smoke a mirrors for the press while the vaults continue to release gems and promote the image of the past.

I am actually sick of the notion that they feel like they have to tour or do something grand for the 50th... Whenever it is according to whatever super secret log they keep.
From the moment I discovered them for myself I have always cherished their music. Not talking at this moment, however, is an antiquated way of dealing with the press. If they are a working band they will have to get with it and say something substantial. Otherwise, I just keep enjoying the vault releases and forget about a tour and make other plans.
By the way, the list of big names on tour this year and those even coming to my midwestern oasis is long and deep. Perhaps that is why the Stones have pushed it back. Next year will have more fans with money in pocket pay high prices. If I went to even half of the list coming through this summer and fall I could not afford a Stones ticket.

If Keith isn't well enough to play another tour then invite Mick Taylor (Maybe this time the 2 Mick's could write some new material...It happened in the 70's only for Keith's jealousy to allow Taylor little recognition for his contributions). Also invite Bill along and during the break in the show have a tribute to Brian Jones on the big screen...Keith probably won't like that either. After Brian's sad decline and death, Keith became the spanner in the works forcing Mick and the others to keep the band afloat whilst he was shooting up/snorting/whatever. Keith then proceeded to insult his bandmates in his autobiography.........Not a word of thanks to the other guys for putting up with his antics. As the 50th anniversary approaches Keith is now a potential liability for any kind of tour. Come on Keith sort yerself out!!
