I give them credit saying no. Mick saying yes to being a SIR was enough.
I think he's fine with it. He said he didn't want to be 40 singing Satisfaction, and as that would have been 1983, whilst they weren't touring, I think he pretty much hit that benchmark.
He didn't say anything about 68, which is how old he is for another week or so.
Thought it was clear. Hoping it makes you feel better by saying what you said

worse than armageddon??? like streets of love worse?
Yeah right, and the Superbowl was?
The Stones not being ready in this day and age is clear.
Translation: Keith cannot play anymore. Period.

he's calling you a bald-faced liar, hansie...you gonna take that? want i should rat him out for you?
Hey stranger things have happened james. I've heard Def Leppard had a 1 armed drummer!
All we are saying.....is give Keith a chance
At first it was 30, then 40. He keeps adjusting the bar as he moves along in life.
poor guy. thank goodness he gets millions of dollars for his trouble....
Well, his two live appearances in the last couple of months actually showed just that...
Anyway, anyone who's ever been in a band knows: when you are the Stones, you don't need to rehearse tracks like Brown Sugar, SMU, JJF, IORR and a dozen more. After playing these live for say 50 years it's like riding a bicycle or swimming: once you learn you will never forget. And the Stones played these tracks hundreds and hundreds of times.
Yes, if you want to play an 20-track set, and yes want you want to perform a good show, you need 4 to 6 weeks of rehearsing. But we're not talking about that.

sigh. why must i always remind folks: BLONDIE! hello???

i wonder if they charge $500 for it ?
or if you get a useless Keith Richards pick as a bonus for when he doesn't hit a chord ?

Didn't Jagger once say he would hate to be 40 years old and be still singing "Satisfaction"? Well, maybe at age 65 that is how he finally feels.

What a lame excuse that there not ready to do the olympics,
When i wached jagger say that on tv yesterday.
Most bands would give there right arm to play at the olympics.
The stones were asked ages ago to do the olympics, so
plenty of time to get ready.So i reckon that jagger could,nt have control
0ver the proceedings, witch i think is more than likely, or he dont trust
keef playing live in front of billions.
Well i think its sad they not doing it in there 50th year

Mick has said the Superbowl was a very hard gig for various reasons.
I'm kinda glad they skipped the Olympics, and will go on to play their own shows, looks like.

Nice post Bjornulf.
Just like some Broadway shows are taken on road before they make their Broadway deput.
I just saw an interview with Mick the other day from back in the 90's maybe ...where he talks about risk. Playing Philly '81 without enough warm ups was what he mentioned as a risk.
Can't wait for Wyman & Taylor to rejoin the fold...

Can you blame him for setting the standard high? There is a peculiar thing in all us humans that make us hold onto one BAD experience more that 100 GOOD ones. Mick is no dummy and I understand his unwillingness to take the risk of ANY bad experiences at this point in his life. That's his privledge now that he has the power and money to somewhat control the events in his life. I think that is what is driving this statement and decision.
Besides the Olympics are not the hard core Stones audience that deserve to see these guys play again and Mick would certainly have to give up much of his "man in charge" power at an event like that, because it is about the atheletes, not about the rock stars. peace

If you see Mick behind stage just before show start, you see he is quite nervous and focused. I think that goes for every show, even the remote ones. Then you might imagine the pressure on his shoulders doing stuff like Superbowl.

So, it's basically what some of us have said when they 'rehearsed' in London. Jagger just told the rest he wouldn't do anything with the Stones. 'Not stage ready' means Richards is not up to it: Wood, Watts and Wyman all have showed they are in good form in the last months, Richards has shown he just lost the ability to play anything at all.
Mathijs
As usual, you are reading way too much into a few comments the Stones made a few weeks ago. They may simply not wanted to do it. You have concluded, based on little or no evidence, that Keith is brain dead and can no longer play the guitar.
Well, his two live appearances in the last couple of months actually showed just that...
Anyway, anyone who's ever been in a band knows: when you are the Stones, you don't need to rehearse tracks like Brown Sugar, SMU, JJF, IORR and a dozen more. After playing these live for say 50 years it's like riding a bicycle or swimming: once you learn you will never forget. And the Stones played these tracks hundreds and hundreds of times.
Yes, if you want to play an 20-track set, and yes want you want to perform a good show, you need 4 to 6 weeks of rehearsing. But we're not talking about that.

If Keith can't play "at all"...how is then that they will perform later in the year? If Keith really is as incapacitated as everyone claims...they wouldn't have ANY shows lined up before or after the Olympics...or ever. Doesn't really add up.
