It is sad that so many here at IORR suffer from such low self esteem. Give yourself a little credit. Mick and Keith have both said they had to be coaxed into doing something for their 50th anniversary. What IS ridiculous is the notion that nobody from the Stones camp checks in here on a regular basis to check the pulse of the hardcore fan base - it's just good business. Yes, the Stones have their "watchmen", that you can count on.
There is no feud with the Beatles, but someone has to claim the title of "greatest of all time" - better us than them. And we deserve it. Doesn't make us evil because we want to be recognized as the best that ever was.
Low self esteem, says the one that uses "we" willy nilly when blathering about the Stones as if...they are part of the Stones.
Mick had to be coaxed into doing Steel Wheels, just as he has had to been "coaxed" into doing everything since and for one thing only - MONEY.
MONEY $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
MONEY was and is THE REASON he bothered. NOTHING HAS CHANGED.
Is it fair to say that when Mick told us (and the world) recently that the main reason the Stones continue is because of us, (the fans) you didn't believe him? And when he told us (in 2003) that the Rolling Stones and their fans are like a family, you also didn't believe him then? Are you calling him a liar?
You are half way to being a Rolling Stones fanatic, (by BV's description) and a member of this family, yet you insult the family you belong to by repeatedly spewing out this line of horse shit that they only do it for the money. Are you that stupid that you would cut off the hand that feeds you? I mean, if the Rolling Stones didn't exist what would you do with all of the time you spend on this site? Be honest, without the Rolling Stones, you wouldn't have a life! Start showing some appreciation! Or find a life outside of the Rolling Stones!

"To be honest" what? What does that mean? That you were lying before? You kind of people need to grow up. You're so easy.

As this thread has continued to simply exist on speculation, let me add this.
Jack White, interviewed on the 'red carpet' last night was questioned about all the producing he's doing these days and he ran through a list of acts that he's produced/is currently producing.
He also said he's working on a very exciting project at the moment but he's not allowed to say anything about it, stay tuned. I'm paraphrasing.
Oh please oh please oh please...

He was telling you to "Be honest....". Not that you aren't, just thought I'd clear that up.

For what it's worth I have been told by a very reliable source that Mick Taylor will be in Belgium next week for a Stones Meeting. It was a suggested reason for Mick's "flu" & not coming down to Beaminster on Saturday.

...Still, my question stands: what kind of 'Stones meeting' are we talking about, here?
Fan meeting or bànd meeting??

I threw it out there to see whether or not anyone else on this board had heard anything that chimes with it.

I did preface my post about this with "for what it's worth", just passing on what I was told. I wasn't going to ask the person who told me what sort of meeting it was going to be as I would not want to get that person into trouble. I threw it out there to see whether or not anyone else on this board had heard anything that chimes with it.

Ronnie was at an event in London last night and was quoted as saying there's a meeting next month.
He didn't say where it would be taking place, or who'd be attending.

Anyone think that Cohl will be at the meeting?

I was listening to the Exile on Main Street New DVD and I believe I heard Keith make the statement that when the band cleared $1 million the group would net $70,000 after expenses and hangers on took their cuts; They were still responsible for taxes on the entire amount.
It is fashionable to lie about and rant on the establishment, but without capitalism we would have never had the Stones past 1969. The Stone were able to survive once they were able to transform civil disobedience into a business.
Mick made a statement about ticket prices for the recent shows that I have not heard played many times. He said putting the Band together for three months of rehearsal in France, creating a stage worthy of the Stones, hiring the production, engineering staff, marketing machine, ticket distribution and venue contracting. Transportation and lodging for the band, production crew and logistics of moving sound and stage. Creating the sound and video accompaniment and everything else that goes into a stones tour. All for five test shows. Those are all fixed costs whether they do 5 shows or a mega tour.
It amazes me the ticket prices were as low as they were. Thanks God I was there, GaGa and all.
Long live capitalism!!!

now wait just a minute-are you guys trying to tell me that mick jagger does his job because he wants money??? i've never heard of such a thing.
this is an outrage! and on top of that he's he's he's ..trying to be paid as much as possible for his work? thats just crazy..
i was under the impression that most people tried to find ways to make as little as possible or at least an arbitrary number that others have deemed "enough"
