I'd like something that sounds like the Stones... they need a producer who'll mix it up with them in the studio....even though Don Was gets kudos for pushing Jagger to give him Doom & Gloom

Doom and Gloom is a shite song. In my opinion anyway , no Kudos for Was.

A lame Jagger solo try with guest musicians Matt Clifford, Chuck Leavell, Charlie Watts, Ron Wood, Waddy Wachtel, Lisa Fischer, Bobby Keys, Darryl Jones,and last but not least Keith Richards, in this order of importance.
Not to forget one slow and very very sad Keith ballad - ('I can't get no) inspiration - and one or two Keith-Songs with recycled 5-string-open-g-riffs. And what's important: all that knocked together quick and dirty, without passion, fun or love, in two studio days as they can't stand each other for longer in 5 years. Please add some more uninspired solos by Ron and most important: a sloppy poppy slimy production by Don Was.
All that in some very special very limited and different editions to squeeze every possible cent out of the remaining fans (f.ex. every song on ist own cd will make the super deluxe edition for, let's say, 100 Euros. Including a free ticket nosebleeds for the 2021 Lower Manhattan Tour, for 800 Euros.
They stopped being relevant musically 1981. That will never come back again. I can easily live without another big disappointment and rip-off by our beloved band.
I would expect a lot of moaning on this board typified by the above comments before a new sound has even been heard. Of course they are not musically relevant (who is over the age of 30?) but this does not mean they could not knock out a half decent album of new material

We must remember that they were very creative and made a huge catalog of great songs during the first 20 years, it's only natural that that kind of drive just can't go on forever, I think that they also worked really hard back in 1963-1983 and maybe they think that they don't have to work so hard anymore and be so creative anymore, they just haven't got the need to show anything to anyone anymore.
I sometimes have VH1 Classic channel on my tv and they are playing these music videos of numerous artists that were very successful in 80s or 90s and most of those artist have disappeared totally from the scene and when you think that Let It Bleed was the 10th studio album of the Stones in 1969, I mean WOW, that really puts the things in perspective and Undercover was still a very decent album in 1983, they have worked so hard and they have been so creative, maybe we should Have Mercy on them!

The last thing I want is for them to 'Sound Like The Stones'. I would want them to be the Rolling Stones ala 2013, I'm just not sure they didn't stop advancing artistically a long time ago. In other words, as there was a 1972 Stones that was different from a 1978 or even a 1989 Stones, the 2013 Stones may not be noticeably different from the 1994, 1997, or 2005 Stones.
They first tried to 'Sound Like The Stones' in 1994 on Voodoo Lounge, as opposed to being the Stones. Mick tried to pull them ahead a little bit on Bridges, but by then he and Keith were both solo acts, with little writing cooperation between them. And A Bigger Bang is mostly rehashed riffs, except for Rough Justice.
I expect a couple good songs that I can tolerate more than once or twice. I do like Doom And Gloom and consider One More Shot a Z side, tossed off while Keith was constipated. The bass will be horrible, wait, inconsequential. I believe Charlie is the only one who has not played bass on a Stones cut yet, so there's that to look forward to.
The reason I'm pessimistic is called history. They put no effort into getting out there and finding an interesting keyboard player or bassist. They are so mired in 'comfort' in who they work with that it seems more important to them to have people around them they know rather than produce a great result. They need some shaking up and that seems to be the last thing on their agenda.
They must not give a shit about putting out great albums anymore. The very act of putting one out every decade seems to satisfy them. I still say the Rolling Stones, the real deal Rolling Stones, ended as a recording unit after Steel Wheels. There are no peaks since then. Well, actually the peaks were duded up cuts from their golden era, ala Plundered My Soul. Those are the best cuts since 1989. And they don't need to sound like 'Golden Era' Stones on a new album. We have the Golden Era. It's intact. If they're not going to do something different, they don't even have to bother.

I know some fans don't like the new songs on 40 LICKS, but I do. I was just this morning exercising to the single edit of Don't Stop.

Well, I guess you can find fans for every song, every album. Personally I can't imagine listening to the 4 new songs on Forty Licks ever again. They have about as much pull as listening to the last half of Voodoo Lounge. But then again, I love Indian Girl....

Yick! "Indian Girl!" Worst Stones song of all time! Then again I also dislike the 4 songs on 40 Licks . . . those 4 and "IG" are the top 5 worst for me. Utterly embarrassing. I LOVE Emotional Rescue but wish "Claudine" was in "IG"s place.

Streets Of Love makes Indian Girl sound like Gimme Shelter.
