I think your question was answered in your next sentence. If they weren't in the studio long, it makes absolutely logical sense they only recorded these two songs.Quote

Are these the only 2 songs worked on? Keith said they weren't in the studio long at all.

They're lazy and hate each other and don't want to bring in anyone different or even massage Bill's ego a bit and get his old bum in the studio. There's no incentive to do an entire album if D&G & OS qualify as their new material for the stage. Albums don't make money now, tours do. It's the opposite of days gone by. The only reason to make an album is for artistic reasons. That doesn't seem to interest them.

I think they did a splendid job on those two songs for two people that hate each other.
kudos to them.

Well, I meant it semi-seriously. ZZ Top were live on Howard Stern the other day and admitted all three have separate tour buses and that the only personal relationship they have amongst the trio is professional. For all his camaraderie shtick, you rarely see Keith with anyone in the Stones if it ain't for money. I've seen Mick with Charlie, Ronnie with everyone, and Bill and Charlie hang out but I don't think they're seen in public together. Keith is the one who lives almost exclusively away from England, either in Connecticut or on some tropical Island. Face it, they're not going to invest the months they used to do. They ain't mixin' it, fixin' it, you know the rest.

Keith has gone out to dinner with Charlie and Ronnie a few times in recent weeks, but does not seem to mix with Mick. Mick has also been out to dinner with Charlie and Ronnie, but without Keith. Those 2 don't seem to want to socialize together, but it is interesting that A Bigger Bang was started with just Mick and Keith working together, then bringing in Charlie and later on Ronnie, so at least in 2004-05, they were able to put aside any differences and work together.

I don't really think it's reasonable for fans to expect the Stones to be great pals offstage. When the band first got together they were young men who shared a love for a certain type of music they had recently discovered. Of course they got along famously at first, but it's only natural that after twenty or thirty years they found that they had had quite enough of one another's company.
I get along really well with my co-workers, but I imagine we are a typical bunch in that we don't feel the need to socialize much off the job. I'd guess that if we had to spend most of our waking hours together for the next couple of decades we would end up wanting to kill each other.

It isn't really as clear-cut as that. True, we become less fraternal with age, but the bitterness and social aversion in the case of Mick and Keith stem from a host of other factors larger than themselves.
The Stones come from humble beginnings--working class, lower middle class, and so on, which is not a strata of society associated with wealth, mass adulation, and a degree of iconic social influence. Their social backgrounds did not prepare them to deal with these elements of fame gracefully. Their heads became large. In Brian's case, the result was chronic alcoholism and an early death, in Keith's case a decade-long addiction, in Bill Wyman's case an eventual scandalous relationship that never would have happened had he never joined The Stones, and in the case of Mick and Keith, their childhood friendship was invaded by betrayal after betrayal beginning with personal relationships (Anita), an uncompromising, ego-driven power struggle for control of their professional partnership (WWIII), years of personal insults made public through third-party media outlets, capped off finally by the publication of a boastful, one-sided memoir (Life).
They hate each other--at least Mick certainly resents Keith at this point--for a variety of reasons, not because they view each other as wallpaper they've been looking at for too long.

I don't think a band that travels separately is anything to be alarmed about. I'm sure it's not that uncommon for successful bands to do that. If you can afford to travel on your own bus, why wouldn't you? Maybe they bring wives and kids along on tour.Quote

ZZ Top were live on Howard Stern the other day and admitted all three have separate tour buses.
