Jagger did not confirm as host until last week. They have been discussing it for about a month.

I'm not offering disinformation and what I posted about Mick reaching out to a band (which was not the Black Keys, who would be frankly a better idea) did not come from the Stones. I don't know what will happen but I'm not expecting them to perform as the musical guests. That doesn't mean I expect them in any guise, but that would seem more plausible. I'd expect a Lorne fest.

TeddyB1018 seems to be a legitimate source and he says that Mick is going to be backed up by a well known non-Rolling Stones band. But, he could just be saying that to throw us off and, in actuality, The Stones are playing. So, who really knows!

Well, if they include Mick Taylor and Bill Wyman, technically, that is a 'non-Rolling Stones band', a sort of 'Rolling Stones Super Group'.

Research update: The Maroon 5/Wiz Khalifa show at the Preakness InfieldFest
starts at 1pm and probably ends before 5pm. Although Maroon 5 are currently
the headliners, it should not be that hard to switch the running order and
have M5 open. That would give them plenty of time to make the SNL dress rehearsal
at 5pm, as long as Mick and M5 get together sometime beforehand, maybe this
weekend, to work out their 2 or 3 musical numbers.

While logistically possible, unfortunately if that worked out, we'd have to listen to Maroon 5, and possibly worse, listen to Adam Levine and Mick duet on 'Moves Like Jagger'.

That would become arguably the worst moment in TV music history.

1) But, as previously detailed, it would be the best possible outcome for
Stones fans, in that it would be confirmation that all is well between Mick and
Keith and that 2013 Stones shows are on track, plus 2) big bonus: you don't
have to listen!

Perhaps the recording/jam session in NYC was video taped by SNL to be shown during the broadcast? Not everything SNL does is live. Perhaps they filmed a comedic music video or something for a digital short by Andy Samberg?

As long as we are fantasizing about what might happen on SNL, let us not rule out the possibility of the Stones pulling off a major publicity stunt, to announce a world tour, the biggest ever, the BIG 50. I can see the camera filming the Stones traveling down the street on a flat bed truck playing a couple of songs, then entering the building for another couple of songs, then fireworks, and an announcement by Jagger and the Stones of the tour.

Sure, it was done before, but SNL was not involved either.

There is a band with a new LP coming out May 22 that is truly way more exciting than what's going on with the Stones.

What is all the talk about? A lot of nothing. Maybe next year.

It's a bit glaring, Teddy, that you did not also mention the other offered
guess, Maroon 5, who are involved in a major long-advertised concert at the
Preakness that day, which would certainly meet your condition of an expensive
contract that would be hard to get out of.

I think Teddy likes the Black Keys idea more because he likes the Black Keys more.
Whereas I like the Maroon 5 idea better because I like Maroon 5 less.
As far as I'm concerned, as I sorta indicated, the less the musicians are like
the Stones musicians, the better it is both for the Stones and for
Jagger's solo identity.

So, let's say it was Maroon 5. And now they're out because of the Preakness.
So what then?

So far neither Teddy nor the brain trust around here has come up with any
alternatives, other than my left-field suggestion of Rihanna's band.

Teddy may be indicating that there are no other famous non-Stonesey alternatives,
so its time for plan B, which might be a "Lorne fest", but which also brings
us back to the "assembly of superstars" idea...

As long as they're not Stonesey musicians, I don't see why not.

(Dave Stewart's current studio group is quite Stonesey musicially, and Dave
would of course drop everything to be there. But no, please. Stones
songs, ok, but not Keith Richards type arrangements! )

he said they were likely to do rock songs, not necessarily be a rock group, but...

All from Wikipedia: While they were in high school, lead vocalist and guitarist Adam
Levine, keyboardist Jesse Carmichael, bass guitarist Mickey Madden, and drummer
Ryan Dusick formed a garage band called Kara's Flowers and released one album in
1997...Maroon 5 has cited The Police, Talking Heads, and Prince as influences...
Maroon 5's songs tend to be very guitar-heavy..."Moves Like Jagger", an electropop
song represents a drastic change in the band's sound, with more of a dance feel to it.

("Moves" has sold approx the same amount as Elvis and the Beatles best-selling
tunes "Hound Dog" and "Hey Jude", despite illegal downloading)

Adam Levine and Alicia Keys, Wild Horses
