It's not about Jack White it's about Keith Richards.
He can't stop talking and keep his mouth shut.
When he turned into an attention seeking whore?
It's amazing how Richards can not live without being in headlines. Apparently he realizes that in the post LIFE epoch Jagger bashing is not so profitable for him as it was, so now he is trying to attract attention by constantly throwing out scraps of info about the Stones plans .
It is tiring because, at first, everybody knows that Richards does not decide anything, but the one who actually makes the decisions said nothing so far about any plans - neither the album nor the tour, nor one-off show.
Secondly it is annoying because it is clear that Richards still talks to Mick only through the press - thus he also informes Mick about his ideas and at the same time blackmails him while making his intentions public.
Does Richards have no balls at all to talk to Mick face to face?

Both Mick and Keith seem to get along with Jack White on a friendship level which puts Jack in a better position than let say Rick Rubin to work on tracks with the Rolling Stones. Jack is opinionated, he likes new sounds, he loves a challenge, he is a real pro and a hard working musician. White loves the Blues and that is a strong connection with the Rolling Stones. Jack also kicks ass and he won't be afraid of been shown the blade.
Rock and Roll,
Mops

You are allowed to like Alabama Shakes (though they're a bit retro for me) and Jack White. It's not either/or.

Undercover might be the last A-Plus self-penned tune the Stones created. The album may have been forgettable, but the song itself is slashing, and dark and original. It's a hell of a production.

As for Jack White, I think he would be perfect. He could help create a Stones album that remains 'classic' sounding, while giving it that little twist that moves it into modernity. Which is what he does with his bent Zeppelin riffs. His new album is really good. The problem for me is forcing myself to listen to an actual new album. Albums have been so piss poor for so long that I've grown used to singles and self-made compilations.

Brooke Waggoner is the pianist White uses on his recent (1st) solo album. She would be perfect for the Stones to use.

"She would be perfect for the Stones to use"... Are you kidding? After Ian Stewart, Nicky Hopkins, Billy Preston and (yes, we know that, but he is one of the top pianist) Chuck Leavell, the Stones would use "anybody"? Who is she?

She's the pianist on this song and on this album. Nothing against Chuck, or Don Was, but the Stones need to shake it up. They've gotten too complacent in their use of musicians. They're never going to sound like they've made a new album if they insist on using the same people they've used since the 80s. What exactly has Daryll Jones added to the Stones studio legacy? What Chuck Leavell contribution stands out like a Hopkins or Preston piece? Every instrument is important on a Stones cut.

proudmary, perhaps if the media stopped talking to Keith then he'd keep his mouth shut? It's not his fault that they want to talk to him. Now, if he was constantly saying stuff on twitter like some celebrities do in order to stay in the news, then that's a different story...

It's amazing how Richards can not live without being in headlines. Apparently he realizes that in the post LIFE epoch Jagger bashing is not so profitable for him as it was, so now he is trying to attract attention by constantly throwing out scraps of info about the Stones plans .
It is tiring because, at first, everybody knows that Richards does not decide anything, but the one who actually makes the decisions said nothing so far about any plans - neither the album nor the tour, nor one-off show.
Secondly it is annoying because it is clear that Richards still talks to Mick only through the press - thus he also informes Mick about his ideas and at the same time blackmails him while making his intentions public.
Does Richards have no balls at all to talk to Mick face to face?

But seriously, he is throwing out nonsense soundbites...he doesn't have to do that. He does it because he is an attention whore. PM has that right.

I wouldn't even care, but he doesn't seem to know what the hell he's talking about. Why doesn't he just answer, "I don't know, please direct all enquiries about the band to Mick"?

When asked about the recordings with White (not the band), he shouldn't answer, is that what you mean? I don't get this bashing

BTW, this is what he answered to the question: "In a recent chat with RS, Richards addressed the possibility of the joint recordings being released one day. "I don't know if [Jack] ever considered that it was actually, like, master cuts," Richards now says. "But at the same time if Jack wanted to do it, I'd probably say, 'Yeah.'"
