The Stones need one more album to push past the Sons of Beatles. Right?

Just who the hell are you exactly, and what are you up to? Seems to be some strange synchronicity going on.

And what's happened to the Sons of The Beatles project? Was looking forward to that.

The concept of the Sons of The Beatles is not a joke. It's a "No-Brainer." It would bring joy to millions and make a ton of money for all involved. James McCartney has expressed an interest in the concept at some point down the road. It isn't going to happen overnight, Sure, it would be cool if they could pull it together for the 50th anniversary of the Beatles coming to America in 2014 but that isn't likely. As a fan of the Stones you learn patience, as a fan (of the concept) of the Sons of The Beatles you must also exercise patience. At least you have had plenty of experience.

Ultimately, I think the deciding player in whether this will happen or not is going to be Yoko. Sean appears to be a "mommas boy" just like his dad - Yoko being the mother figure, of course. If Yoko gives it the green light then I think it can happen. Ringo's sons are another potential roadblock. I think Dhani would be in for it.

My best guess is that if it's going to happen it will be sometime later in this decade. In the meantime, I will be doing all that I can (as a fan) to make it happen - there is magic in the pen!

That's not a band, it's a cynical marketing exercise.

True. But with tape you can hide and layer the sound....Take SWAY or any of their
old hits. Every time you play it you hear something different.

With Digital recordings it just sounds to clean to be the Stones..

What i agree is that every fan has their own favorite period for what they think
the Stones should sound like..

The last album that they really worked hard on was Bridges...And many didn't like it...
Then they go back to the basic...Bigger Bang and many didn't like it..

Sadly i'm old enough to remember the Release on Exile...I loved it. But many people at the
time hated it.. I also remember a friend who told me his older brother bought Black n Blue
and returned it as he hated it...Saying this isn't the Stones...

Stones can't win..They need to play what they like and not try to cater to every fan..Just
play what you like and play it from the heart...That's what makes a great Stones album..HEART!

"Now, Or Never" ... great title for the new album

"Now, Or Never" is not great because it gives a journalist or critic who doesn't like the record an opening to pan the record. I can see the headlines now. "Now, or Never? They should have chosen never". Might as well call the album "Shark Sandwich".

If you make the decision to join up because you want to, that's a band. If someone else persuades you to join up because they can see that there is something non-music-related about you that will look good in the publicity - regardless of whether you would actually make a good band - then that's a marketing exercise. How good or bad the music turns out to be is essentially irrelevant, compared with the selling power of the words SONS OF THE BEATLES on that poster.

I don't know why I'm even discussing this - nothing is going to persuade you that this isn't the greatest idea since sliced bread, so I'm wasting my time, and I'm not going to waste any more of it.

Don't be so sensitive. We can have a discussion and agree to disagree.

The Sons of the Beatles are all pretty good little musicians. I would love to hear what they could come up with working as a unit. No doubt it would be a promoters dream, but it would bring joy to millions also, and that is the bottom line.

There is a certain "artistic snobbery" that exists in the minds of some artists. In a way, it's selfish. There is nothing like joining a team and working together towards a common goal.

I was just reading an article in rolling stone about Elton Johns new album .He accepts the fact that it wouldn.t be played on radio or be much commercial sucess and he does not really seem to care so he made a nice piano based album with T bone Burnett to please hmself .Hopefully the Stones can abandon this notion of having a hit or new tunes to play in concert or whatever and just make what they want just for the hell of it and release it themselves

Elton adopted that philosophy a few years back (I've heard him mention it in other interviews), and I'm sure it led to him doing "The Union" album with Leon Russell...something different and a very enjoyable listen.

I really like his last quote in the article...

"It's the most adult record I can make at my age. I'm just heading toward being 80 years old and playing at the Holiday Inn."

How about we "rally" for a new Stones album in our respective cities all over the world? All on the same day. Wouldn't have to be more than a few people per group. We could go to the sidewalk of the major news station in our respective cities, towns, villages; carrying signs, and chanting, "We Want A New Stones Album!"
