Am I really the only one whom believes Jagger told the band in December 2011 that he would not play or tour with them? Do you really believe Jagger would play on SNL for a live audience of millions with Richards in his current state?

The speculation will stop? Now people will start speculating WHY Keith won't be on the show. It never stops.

What COULD Keith say about PooperHeave? He said it all with Dogsh*t In The Doorway.

Two responses:
1. I don't think Jagger told the band in December that he (Jagger) wouldn't play live/tour with them.
2. I do, however, believe that Keith doesn't like the SNL crowd (which is much like the Studio 54 crowd that Keith also disliked). So, Keith stays away and watches to see what Jagger will do on SNL.

Possibly. That is not what Mick told the band in December, 2011. Keith was very pleased with the outcome of that meeting.

What "state" would that be? And if Jagger told Richards this why were they rehearsing in New York?

I am sorry, I just don't buy it. To me it sounds like the Stones have called it quits, but still want to cash on the 50 anniversary with all the merchandise, google music and book deals. So they pretend to still be an active band, that's my view on it.

So then, all the first hand accounts that have leaked through from people actually AT the rehearsals are all involved in some kind of conspiracy?
It's weird to think about their normal crew not there but what exactly couldn't the crew at the rehearsal space not be able to handle that they couldn't do it themselves? They use the amps that are at the rehearsal space...Keith/Ronnie bring in their guitars or also use the axes that are available to them. Don Was comes along and fills in on the bass on a couple blues tunes. Keith may not know the songs like the back of his hand but it's not exaclty rocket science to play along to "Tallahassie Lassie" or who knows whatever song they played.

The state of Richards we've seen during the Sumlin and Chuck Berry gig, which is the state of somebody who has retired from being a working musician.
To date there is no proof they ever had a serious session in either London or New York. Remember: none of the crew was present. Did they set-up their equipment by themselves, something they haven't done since '65? Did they have a session with a totally retired Keith Richards without Chuck Leavell and Darryl Jones? Reports had Jagger stating they played music of the new Some Girls reissue -do you really think Richards would remember or is able to play any of the songs on this reissue version?

One of the main reasons for these "rehearsals" is the filming of the documentary, just like it was in December(I know that Gazza's source told they didn't film, but Rolling Stone said the opposite and I believe them more)

Richards was pleased to the same extent as when he discussed with the Times Jagger's penis? Or the same as when he counted the proceeds from his book?
I do not believe that Mick ever will be on one stage with Richards. not in 2012 not in 2013 - no matter what he said to Richards at the meeting

Mick is showing who is the boss. Hard lesson for Keith.
