the only reason I go to their shows is to deprive fanboys and cheerleaders from getting tickets.

Aha, now you finally admit it

What's the other fansite ?

As I understand it, theyre both rockers with Mick on lead vocals. I think Chuck already mentioned that.

Whew, I think we can all agree another generic Keith crooner would be a letdown.

If it's another Flip The Switch, that would do just fine.

Secrecy Surrounding Announcement Of Live Shows Like Navy Seals Operation!

Today is September 11. We are only 11 days to Autumn. And still no official announcement. I am feeling an eerie calm. That calm you feel right before a storm. Yes, folks, there is a hurricane coming, a Crossfire Hurricane! Keep your eyes peeled! The autumn winds shall soon be upon us, and so shall the Mighty Stones!

This is my Final Warning!

Over and Out

See you in the spring, or the following spring.

One Love, Gold Rings On Ya!

Hmm.

1) I have never taken Mighty at face value. He is a character written by
someone else, by someone with a real Stones connection. Mighty is disinfo.
But like all disinfo, it does provide clues.

2) So it is amusing that Mighty has used a "Navy seal operation" as a metaphor,
since almost everything we hear about such operations is disinfo, including
what the media is currently pumping out about that most famous "Navy seal
operation" of all. As if we're getting the real story now lol.

3) Anyway, back on topic. Haven't you noticed how Mighty says goodbye over and
over, but never actually leaves?

4) But this is his best faux exit yet. Ask yourself, dear reader, if the Stones
were really going to play these 4 fictional/disinfo autumn dates, why would
Mighty be saying goodbye until "Spring. Or the following spring." Mighty
has therefore intentionally become the first official source to hint at what
SupaRevy already told you a few weeks ago: These four autumn dates are complete
bullshit. As Mighty says in his quote above, the only thing that is hitting
this autumn is the film "Crossfire Hurricane."

5) Of course, just like with the fictional/disinfo Summer 2012 tour, it will
never be admitted that these 4 autumn shows were always disinfo. No, instead,
just like with the Summer 2012 tour, the same respected and connected sources
that have leaked the show info to you, as innocent stooges I assume, will then
leak supposedly inside info that claims, "Honest, really, they were really going
to do these shows, but then at the last minute, this or that totally unexpected
thing happened, and they couldn't. Honest. Really."

6) On the bright side, the Farewell Festivals or something like them are still
a possibility for 2013. But that's all, just a possibility. Mick hasn't given
the final go-ahead for anything yet.

...worth mentioning too that both Paul Dainty and Richard Branson are in london at present which may or may not be a coincidence. I dont think the contracts are signed yet, though, so the "$25 million for four shows" report may have been a bit premature.

Oh no! Shock! Despair! Dainty and Branson had offered only $24 million, but
Mick and Keith both thought they heard $25 million. Now both sides are digging
in their heels as a matter of pride and principle. The deal is falling apart
over a measly one million dollars!

Who could have foreseen something so unforeseeable!? We were this close,
I tell ya, this close... Everybody had agreed, everybody was onboard.
Stage plans had been drawn up, setlists were already being discussed, and now
this! A silly misunderstanding over chump change, and our beautiful beautiful
autumnal dream is all gone! Oh the humanity! Oh the horror!

Yawn. Showbiz411 posted the stuff about how much money they were getting (as well as the incorrect dates). Blame them for the mass premature ejaculations on here. The shows will still be taking place.

Do we know, if the Rolling Stones are in London at the moment or where else they are and what they are doing referring to Stones activities? Keith Richards was in London on September 7, Charlie Watts around September 3, what about the others? Are they maybe all in London for rehearsals or contract negotiations?

but they're intending to play shows later this year, and those should be announced shortly with rehearsals starting in a few weeks. Blondie Chaplin even confirmed that to a friend of mine at the Iridium in New York just three nights ago.

I can certainly believe that there'll be rehearsals. I mean, why not? But no
arena shows this year, even if there is some kind of announcement. And no stand-
alone Brooklyn-London shows next year either. As part of a larger tour next year?
Yeah, that's possible.

My own personal take - and thats all it is - is that these shows are a trial run at Jagger's request to see if the band are up for a 'proper' tour. He even admittedly openly a few weeks ago that (despite rehearsing together in May) the band simply 'weren't ready' to play the Olympics and that was one of the reasons why they turned it down.[/[/b]b]

Billboard's o2/Brooklyn story did take me by surprise because I honestly took Mick's 'we're playing shows later this year' comment in July with a pinch of salt as just a way of shutting up journalists, but it does seem to be solid enough.
