I don't think they need a producer at all. The virus is still around. They are all over 70 (risk group). The fewer people the better. As I understand most of the work
is already done on their individual home studios. Then additional work is added in the studio. The real work is probably to decide which songs to choose...

They could do a lot worse and why not take a chance and think outside of the box for a change ? It wont happen though as they have a formula in working in the studio and no outsiders are allowed in to the inner sanctum .

Let's face it, they are on the home-stretch now.

Yeah and why get a external guy? They know their game (tehy basically wrote the book on "how to make a rock album") so hiring a producer would result in :
A - either hearing stupid ideas from a young guy who thinks samples and Pro-tool.
B - hearing suggestions the Twins could have made themselves.
B is what happened to AC/DC when they briefly hired Rick Rubin in 1995. Diplomatically one of the Young bros said that Rubin didn't teach them a single they didn't already know.
(later another bro accused Rubin of being a crook and a complete fraud)
Been that way for quite some time my friend.Quote

This is my vision of the band today. It might be very wrong, but anyway: Sir Michael calls all the shots. He is the leader. In the end he decides what to do. Keith seems to have a veto though.
Sir Michael is more productive than the others. He likes to work. (Hence "Let's Work...). He meets up with a lot of songs and suggestions. Finished, or almost finished. Keith has a few, if any.
Ron and Charlie follows suit. They are troopers. Schedules are hard to keep since they all live on different places and their main focus is their private lives. Work comes second.
Is that a fair assessment? Or am I completely off the mark?

Daniel Lanois would be ideal as Stones producer.
Just listen to Emmylou Harris's Wrecking Ball or Dylan's Oh Mercy.
He creates a very moody feel and might give The Stones the kick they may need.
His solo work is not shabby either.

The producers are [[u]b]Don Was, Matt Clifford[/u][/b] and The Glimmer Twins.

Have you listened to... whatever it's called, that LP...
BALLBREAKER.
It's one of their worst albums. It's extremely boring. ed their big single for that Arnold movie.

Then they went "back home" (=they worked with George Young) and they delivered the very strong "Stiff Upper Lip" lp.
RE Rubin I think the Young bros noticed a hot producer had put their career back on the tracks (Fairbairn in 1990) so another hot producer (Rubin) would propel them to superstardom.
But Rubin is more of a "witch doctor" than a guy who actually goes down to the engine room and get his hand dirty.

Thanks for the correction, GLS. Appreciate it. You may be right about Jagger. But I have a feeling he comes in with more material when they meet up.
I might be wrong though. I'm not the fly on the wall...
