Thw whole thing nets out as a downer for me. The stones are energetic enough to do a real tour, but not ambitious enough to get in the studio for 1-2 months and try and come up with a new album. And still no truly bringing mick taylor back into the fold. Bullshit. Nostalgia entrepreneurship... The stones have been the finest stones cover band for 20+ years now. What a waste. They need a producer who shames ALL OF THEM them into getting to a bare studio -- set up mikes and a sound board, no over-dubs or any other embellishments, turn the shit on and just PLAY/RECORD. And see what happens. What they're doing now - derivative to the nth degree - is not even worthy of paying attention to from my perspective.

I just have a feeing we'll get something new pretty soon, maybe this year... maybe before the year's out.... They could wait until next year, but hopefully not.
The sooner the better, I say! How's that for a straight answer?

That's a great answer... as long as you're not just referring to the Keef solo record.

I know the analogy isn't perfect but the Stones are like an old dog who you've had many great frisbee catch session with or romps through the woods or runs on the beach. You aren't going to love them any less when they slow down and can't catch the frisbee everytime or learn new tricks, if anything you love 'em more because they are still trying, and when they perform like they used to you are delighted even more.
The Stones are still standing at the door every time with tail wagging ready to do their best. They aren't as good as they once were but they're as good once as they ever were. It's why I stick to one show per tour and love them as much as I ever did. The world will be considerable more lonely and empty without them.
No doubt the doggie biscuits have gotten a bit more expensive.

The problem is it makes little economic sense for groups like the Stones to spend their working hours in the studio if they can spend them on the road. Let's say they spend two months recording a new album. Let's say it sells 300,000 copies (which is probably about what we could expect these days). At $15 per sold copy that would generate about $4.5 million in sales. That's less than the Stones generate in ticket sales for a SINGLE 2 hour show (and that doesn't include merchandising). In fact the show at Stade de France last year generated over $9 million. I want the Stones to make a new album also. But with the state of music sales in the digital age, where many people expect music to be free, I would understand if they never stepped foot in the studio again.

Whatta you mean, no new music? I just listened to the Stones doing some song called "Hang On Sloopy". Damn, what a beat. Got the audience singing along and movin' their feet. They should've jammed out on this flucker and segued right into "Summertime Blues" or, this would blow everyone's mind, "Come Together". And, if you can't dig the Stones channeling the Beatles, Bo Diddley's "Mona" would be a great segue after a jam on "Sloopy". And, right now, on satellite radio, they're playing Nancy Sinatra's "These Boots Are Made for Walking". What a helluva followup to "Sloopy" this would be.[/quote
I agree. What about "rock around the clock"? Or maybe "suspicious minds"?
