That would be something, if there should be a guest at all.

Better than Adele, I´d like Shane on Lady Jane or HTW.

The problem with him in the past was him showing up or not. But Mick is used to behaviours like this...

Lol that would be great, he and Keith have dental experiences in common.

PS: i bet Mick cannot sing "the rocky road to dublin".

Some live versions of "Factory Girl" seem to have a certain Irish flavour.

[ One small change lead to further corrections in a one-liner.]

Doubtful, unless he does a bit of rehab first. Mick J doesn't like alcoholics around him onstage any longer, as they're too unreliable. I believe one of the conditions for touring had to be that Ronnie had to clean up, and Keith had to show up for work sober as well. It has been revealed that Mick T had to do a term of rehab as well to tour with The Stones.

But Shane MacGowan? What's the Stones connection that would make him a guest? If you Google "shane macgowan rolling stones", you get nothing.

What about no bluddy guests?

More connections to Ronnie and Keith over the years than any of the bummers (mostly female) on the 50+counting tour. And this is since the 80s, the Stones respect him as a great writer and even singer. Don´t need no bloody Google shit for that!

The way the Pogues did "Honky Tonk Women", I'd say he's welcome a.n.y.t.i.m.e...

POGUES - Honky Tonk Women

A fantastic idea, but very unlikely to happen. Keith Richards once said he liked the Pogues. The Pogues and the Stones worked with Steve Lillywhite, and they worked with the late Kirsty MacColl.

Glad to hear that Keith said he like the Pogues, because i like them too.

I do, too, but then so do Tom Waits, Steve Earle, Bob Dylan, Johnny Depp, and Jim Jarmusch. I know that Richard Thompson doesn't like them, but then they can polarise opinions.

Kirsty MacCall was married to Steve Lillywhite for a while: they had two children together, and their divorce may have been the subject of Kirsty's Titanic Days.

The Pogues, albeit with Spider Stacey on vocals, covered Honky Tonk Women. Fairytale of New York was, in demo format, sung with Cait O'Riordan, Elvis Costello's second wife, but then she departed in 1986, and Shane decided to sing it with another vocalist.

...Oops! I never knew that.
So the reference in my original post (a couple above, here) is hereby 'in vain'...

(I did notice in the video that the leadsinger isn't Shane; but I thought that was because it's just a video - he probably didn't show up for the recordings, or something like that. I'd have sworn the leads on that one are Shane's!)

I can't think of a worse guest.
All we need is the same setup as Glastonbury, with MT and a cracking setlist.

Exactly. Why pay to see the Stones and have to put up with "guests" who are not fit to be on the same stage.

How about no guests?

For the love of God, NO.

Why take away from a concert by a band that is heading in all the right directions by adding a guest that is continually heading in the wrong directions.

Sorry, NO.
In my humble opinion...

We once where billed on the same festival, and we had 'lunch' with Shane...we were all flabbergasted when he basically downed a bottle of wodka in 15 minutes, only to request another one just before he had to go on...He did a fantastic show!

The "connections to Ronnie and Keith"--whatever those might be--don't matter, because, since he doesn't play an instrument besides lead cigarette, he would be sharing vocal duties with Mick. So what are Shane's connections to Mick? Is Mick a fan? Does he want to duet with a toothless loaded drunk whose performances are dodgy half the time? Since Mick has already been in a band with a drunken crack addict to his right and a drunken junkie to his left, I would say no.

A great Irish vocalist who would be a better fit onstage with The Stones would be Van Morrison--and Van also likes the Pogues, by the way.

Shane would be GREAT !!!!!!!

This would be Great, but Philip Chevron, the Pogues guitarist, is very ill, sadly ... I don't Think Shane will do any Gigs right now ...

[ I want to shout, but I can hardly speak ]

and like Mick, Shane also sings a version of Long Black Veil:
