I have no idea what the personal dynamics are between the band members these days, but much as I'm looking forward to hearing the Ronnie and Mick T Show, I don't see them taking over from Keith in the Stones. Without Keith it isn't the Stones, pure and simple, no matter what shape he's in or how little he's playing. It wouldn't be the Stones without Mick. To a slightly (very slightly) lesser extent, it wouldn't be the Stones without Charlie. If any one of them leaves, or is invited to leave, including Charlie, that's when the Stones ends, for me.
this seems so obviously true, nobody could quarrel with it. Without Mick, Keith or Charlie the Rolling Stones would end.
Yes to both the above posts.

As far as I know Jeff was sacked by the current manager. But it is a delicate subject, I've heard...

This must have been fairly recent, because this item from Classic Rock still has Jeff Allen listed as his manager as late as 2009 [www.classicrockmagazine.com].

However, in another IORR thread from earlier this year, the same poster who answered my query also mentions that Jeff Allen was out of the picture [www.iorr.org].

Nonetheless, I would still maintain that Ron Wood is keeping Taylor close to the Stones camp as well as in the eye of the music media, to see that he gets the sort of gigs more befitting a musician of his talent and stature rather than having to slog around the world for an endless series of gigs that will barely make ends meet.

There was no Magnificent '8' Movie. Sorry, once again, Ian Stewart is out.

Stu was great,and a huge part of the band,especially in the early days.
The Rolling Stones will always be remembered as The Magnificent 7 though,as described above. All Rolling Stones at every gig they played at,including the latest tour where Mick T was such a fave with all us fans. winking smiley

Is she really? I have no idea who she is. However, I'll refrain from asking, as it's certainly none of my business. I'll just be content with projecting my speculations like any good fan forum poster would be.

Yeah, but he wasn't a Rolling Stone after Oldham dismissed him. He was their roadie, occasional pianist and eternal hanger-on.

More like a father figure, that also contributed a lot musically for 21 years, I'd say...

Well don't know if your right about that Deluxtone. And noodle poodle? Really? Never been called anything even close to that before but I quess it's ok? You have your opinion's and I have mine. I just don't see the need to through out supposedly disrespectfull names in case I don't agree with someone however. And I doubt seriously your superior knowledge of the band we both obviously love.

If he was such a hanger-on, then how come The Stones organized a tribute concert for him, playing for free during a year when they weren't even active as a performing unit? If he was such a hanger-on, how come Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, and Pete Townshend also took part? If he was such a hanger-on, how come Paul McCartney was in the audience taping the set?

On Sunday, February 23rd, The Rolling Stones gathered at London's 100 Club to memorialize their late road manager, occasional keyboardist and full-time friend, Ian Stewart, in the way he would have liked best: hammering out the blues in a sweaty club. Playing in front of several hundred invited guests, including Stewart's family, friends and neighbors, the Stones returned to their roots and ripped through more than an hour's worth of gritty R&B classics....

That says something, I guess smiling smiley

Oh, my heart bleeds for the offensive caused. Look, I’m partly on a wind-up. Some here are so defensive, it’s almost cringeworthy. For what it's worth, no, I actually do not believe Stewart falls into the category of 'hanger-on'

Lookin' good. Love the treads, especially the blue ankle boots. If we can put music aside for a moment, can't help but wonder what the personal dynamic of the band would have been if Ronnie was in the Stones during the Taylor Years. Let's say the three-guitar attack or arrangement worked out well. Ronnie always was a friend to Taylor; therefore, I wonder if he was in the band, could he have provided the camaraderie and support that Taylor needed and enjoyed during his tenure with the Bluesbreakers? Maybe Taylor would have stayed a bit longer. It's just a thought, but despite his muscianship, I always thought he was kind of lost in the shuffle. Definitely, not in the inner circle which was probably a good thing.
